Few characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have gone on as complex a journey as Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). First introduced properly in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" after a brief post-credits cameo in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," Wanda starts out as a freedom fighter who gets manipulated by the villainous group HYDRA into working against the Avengers in the battle against Ultron (James Spader) and his army of robots.
After the death of her brother, Pietro aka Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Wanda realizes she needs to be a hero instead of a renegade, and she joins the Avengers. But this happy state of events does not last long. Wanda finds herself at the center of a controversy that tears the Avengers apart, leaving the group vulnerable to a defeat at the hands of the mad titan Thanos (Josh Brolin). Wanda is also wracked with grief over losing her lover, Vision (Paul Bettany), in the fight against Thanos.
She survives all that only to find herself slipping further into darkness while trying to put her past behind her. The second instance of losing Vision, this time along with their children, leads Wanda to become a full-fledged villain as the legendary "Scarlet Witch." Soon her actions threaten the fate of not just one universe, but the entire multiverse. Let us take a look at some of the worst things Wanda has done in her journey through the MCU so far.
