Return of The Scaret Witch

THE TOP 10 SUPER BABES OF SUMMER 2012

SuperBabe #5: The Scarlet Witch
~Excerpt from Avengers vs. X-Men #7 (2012)

She was either lost or dead; wherever she was, devastation followed her wake. (Most thought she'd be dead for a short while, regardless.) From the events of House of M and Avengers Disassembled, Wanda Maximoff had become a powder keg to her superhero team and the entire universe of Marvel Mutants. After suffering a breakdown, destroying almost everyone in her path, she was carried off, a pariah to the world.

  Not so fast, though; Now she's back! Wanda, also known as The Scarlet Witch, was located by her sons, Wiccan and Speed, during their mini-series The Children's Crusade. Somehow she had ended up in Latveria in a planned marriage to Doctor Doom.

After surviving that experience and regaining her full memories, Wanda decided to return to the Avengers in Avengers vs. X-Men #0 (2012) where she's receiving (mostly) a warm reception; the only visible detractor would be The Vision, whom was practically obliterated before she left.

Wanda's role this summer is one of the most vital to Marvel's upcoming Marvel NOW! event, which is heralding a list of alterations in reality. What's been recently revealed is that she's capable of affecting the Phoenix Entity with her hexes; now with Captain America and Iron Man's leadership, she's been put on the front lines, hoping to save the earth before it's too late.

Coinciding with this seasons' events in the comic book world, The Top 10 Super Babes of Summer 2012 is a countdown from The Superheroes List, updating on Wednesdays, for simple entertainment as well as informative purposes.
