HEX-PLANATIONS

This is a list of all the recorded manifestations of Wanda’s power over the years, in all its different forms. Special thanks to the Marvel Chronology Project for the majority of the issue listings.

When her powers first manifested, Wanda's hex power only induced random probabilities - casting a hex could literally cause anything improbable to happen around her target, and she had no control over what that happenstance was, or even over if it would benefit or hurt her cause. She also suffered from several subconscious limitations on her ability. Wanda could only cast one or two hexes in rapid succession before she depleted her current energies. Attempting to cast a third hex in a short span of time would leave her exhausted, and might have caused Wanda to pass out before completing her hex. Also, her hex casting was tightly bound to her ability to gesture with both hands - a hex cast with only one hand would be only half as powerful.
"Strange is this mutant ability of the Scarlet Witch - strange and not a little unpredictable! All she can be certain of when she joins her hands together is that something will happen. The rest is up to her strength of will - and luck!” [narration box in Avengers (1st series) #126]

After training some with Agatha Harkness, Wanda learned some basic magical skills which also helped bolster her hex power considerably. Her previous limitations were now gone, and Wanda gained the ability to influence the outcome of her hexes to cause specific unlikely events to occur. This required concentration, however, and the more improbable an event the more time and focus she required to cast that specialized hex. Wanda could still cast off wild hexes to cause total random events, either intentionally or by accident if she was interrupted while casting a specialized hex before it was properly formed.

"Controlled instinctively, the way she learned growing up, the powers of the Scarlet Witch burst forth as raw spheres of probability alteration! But controlled consciously as the Witch of Whisper Hill taught her - her powers align themselves with the natural forces known to magick since the dawn of time!"

"She is a nexus - one of those rare beings or objects that belong equally to all possible timelines - all potential realities! Her mutant hex power, I long ago realized, would enable me to protect and control the centuries under my dominion." [Immortus in Avengers West Coast #62]

For a period of time, Immortus took advantage of Wanda's status as the Nexus being of the main reality, Earth 616, and began storing large amounts of  extra-dimensional energy within her. This slowly mutated Wanda's power, altering her hexes so that they now caused a retroactive transformation in the timeline in order to make their changes. This greatly enhanced her power and range, destroying entire buildings, collapsing cliffsides, etc.

After Immortus’ schemes were revealed and Wanda expunged herself of the built up Nexus energy, she was left powerless for a short while, until her abilities returned, reverted to what they were before Immortus manipulated her.

After being used as a conduit for tremendous amounts of magical energy, Wanda was given a new explanation for her powers, this time couched in the idea that she could naturally manipulate a certain kind of mystical energy called "chaos magic". This natural magical power was the result of Chthon's influence at her birth -- otherwise, she would have been born as a more traditional energy-manipulating mutant. Her hex bolts were therefore a form of chaos "grenades". As Agatha Harkness explained it, chaos magic was a form of natural magic, giving Wanda a connection to the natural order of things and energy fields of an elemental or electromagnetic nature. Her powers also became a natural counter against other forms of magic, and could be used easily to restore the natural order of things: fighting spells, undoing mind control, reducing synthetic materals to natural elements, etc.

”What you did not know, however, is that but for Chthon, you would have been merely an energy-wielding mutant, like your father. Instead, though, you were linked to Chthon’s power - to the volatile chaos-magick that lies at his essence. It was this energy - this mystic energy - that you wielded… Probability ruptures, temporal shifts, sudden gusts of physical force - your “hexes” brought disasters on your foes.“ [Agatha Harkness in Avengers (3rd series) #10]

”Listen to me. This chaos magic - the source of her new ‘reality-altering powers’… I am the Master of the Mystic Arts - and I am telling you… there’s no such thing as chaos magic.“ [Dr. Strange in Avengers (1st series) #503, possibly not the real deal but a magical construct of Wanda]

At the time of Avengers Disassembled, Wanda received a phenomenal power boost. She no longer recognized her power as a form of probability manipulation, temporal distortion, or magical force. Unrestricted, her power could alter the building blocks of reality at a fundamental level. However, unable to fully comprehend this amount of power, her psyche shattered and began working on both conscious and unconscious levels to warp reality. At the time, this was believed to be the true, secret nature of her powers. Later stories would reveal, however, that she was channeling an outside power called the Life Force.

After a period of amnesia that put her powers in a state of dormancy, the Scarlet Witch regained her memories and with them the might of the Life Force. Madness and chaos went hand-in-hand, though, and Wanda was somewhat limited now that her sanity had returned. Caution of the potential consequences of letting her power run wild kept Wanda from using it to its full potential. The power of the Life Force left her and eventully returned to its point of origin. Despite this, Wanda's power still remained bound up in the Decimation spell she cast with the Life Force, making her uniquely attuned to the Decimation, Hope Summers, and the Phoenix Force trying to end the Decimation.

"Since Wanda is a Nexus being -- a living focal point for Earth's mystical energies -- we were able to combine our magicks to access and capture the Life Force itself...the only power that could give her back her sons. But we were naive to think the Life Force could be so easily contained and manipulated. It possessed Wanda and transformed her into an entity with the reality-shaping abilities of a god." [Doctor Doom, in Avengers: The Children's Crusade #7]

After the Decimation and the Life Force were put behind her, Wanda's abilities reverted to their capabilities and explanation from before Disassembled. She was once again a mutant, touched by the supernatural, able to naturally wield chaos magic. Which exists.

"You lack the imagination to wield my abilities. After Mount Wundagore, I am not merely an elemental mutant as I was born -- I am a catalyst for the elements of chaos magic! And it takes a witch to control magic." [Wanda, Uncanny Avengers (1st series) #2]

After learning her "mutant powers" were not the result of an X-Gene, but artificially induced in her by the High Evolutionry in childhood, Wanda embraced her mystical side more fully. The average human witch or magician does not have "super powers" -- they have undergone training to tap into existing magical forces in the environment and use that magical energy as fuel for casting spells. Some other species, like Asgardians or demons, are inherently magical creatures and can therefore tap into their own naturally-generated magic for spells instead of relying on environmental magical forces. Wanda now resembles one of those beings, tapping into her personal well of chaos magic not for hex bolts or "chaos grenades", but as fuel for more traditional spells and witchcraft.

"My power -- the ability I got at birth -- allows me to break the laws of physics and scientific absolutes. Levitation, transformation, teleportation and such. I've often heard the spells I cast referred to as chaos magic...but in actual fact they're far from "chaotic" -- their power and intensity are linked to the energy of the Earth and womankind -- revered by ancient pagan faiths -- fear by men. It's name is witchcraft." [Wanda's perspective on her powers, Scarlet Witch (2nd series) #1]

After Chthon's latest attempt at gaining access to Earth's dimension, the Scarlet Witch found a way to prevent further incursions by the Elder God. Chthon always incorporated a portion of his essence into his creations, making him vulnerable to their destruction in ways that direct damage to him could not accomplish. With the True Darkhold, the flesh-bound scrolls originally left behind on Earth by Chthon as he fled the Demogorge, Wanda found the strongest remote concentration of Chthon's power. She absorb the Darkhold into herself, making her body a vessel and a cage for Chthon, adding his power to hers. The full ramifications of her having all of the Darkhold's power and spells at her fingertips have not been explored.
