Due to the rights to the X-Men and associated characters being split between 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios for much of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's existence, the introduction of Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch was initially a surprising one. Elizabeth Olsen's portrayal of the character, however, has become a definite fan-favorite.

Due to the aforementioned copyright issues however, the MCU portrayal of Scarlet Witch has some notable differences to her original comics incarnation. Let's see the ways in which Olsen's Scarlet Witch is accurate to the comics, and which ways she isn't.

10 Accurate: Villainess Origins

Scarlet Witch debuted in 1964's The X-Men #4, as a member of Magneto's Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants; as a psychic and the token woman on the group, Wanda was clearly meant as an evil counterpart to the X-Men's Jean Grey. Wanda and her brother Quicksilver remained a part of the Brotherhood until the series 11th issue, after which she jumped ship to The Avengers. Eager for redemption, she and Quicksilver joined the eponymous team and have mostly remained on the side of good ever since. Wanda's first starring MCU role, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, loosely adapted this tale; she and Quicksilver initially side with Ultron against the Avengers before they realize the scope of the genocidal android's ambitions, and so defect to the Avengers.

9 Inaccurate: Not A Mutant

In the comics, it's no accident that Scarlet Witch debuted in the pages of The X-Men; she is a mutant, a member of Homo Superior, who acquired her powers from the X-Gene rather than external means. Due to the concept of mutants being owned by 20th Century Fox when Wanda debuted in the MCU, her status as a mutant was side-stepped and her origin rewritten. Instead, her powers result from the Mind Stone; Wanda and her brother volunteered for HYDRA's experiments with the Infinity Stone and were granted powers as a result.

8 Accurate: An Avenger

Throughout most of her existence, Scarlet Witch has been a member of the Avengers; she first joined the team in The Avengers #16 alongside Quicksilver. With most of the original roster having departed on leaves of absence, the Maximoff Twins made up half of "Cap's Kooky Quartet," with fellow former super-villain Hawkeye rounding out the team.

The team became such a critical part of Wanda's character, she's even remained on it during periods where Quicksilver left during Steve Englehart's tenure as a series writer. The MCU has followed this; after her turn to the side of good in Age Of Ultron, Wanda remained with the team and has consistently appeared as a member of the Avengers in all subsequent films featuring them.

7 Inaccurate: No Connection To Magneto

Magneto has been an integral part of Scarlet Witch's character from the very beginning; she was introduced having been blackmailed into serving him as part of the Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants, for the Master of Magnetism had saved Wanda and her twin from an anti-Mutant mob. In 1983, the connection was taken to even further extremes when it was revealed Magneto was in fact the Maximoff twins' biological father; several adaptations, from the Ultimate universe to X-Men Evolution followed suit. However, due to Magneto being forbidden from use by Marvel Studios at the time, his parentage of the Maximoffs was not included when the twins were brought into the MCU.

6 Accurate: Relationship with Vision

Vision Scarlet Witch

During their time together on the Avengers, Wanda fell in love with the android Vision; the relationship began during the Kree-Skrull War arc during Roy Thomas' Avengers run and culminated in the couple's wedding in Giant-Size Avengers #4. From there, the couple would go onto star in two self-titled mini-series, Vision & Scarlet Witch. The MCU has adapted the relationship into its interpretation of the characters; after Vision saves Wanda's life, Superman-stye, in Age Of Ultron, the two grow closer in Civil War before their love ends tragically during Infinity War. However, with WandaVision on the horizon, the Witch/Android odd couple may get a happy ending yet.

5 Inaccurate: Sokovia, Not Transia

Sokovia floating from Avengers: Age of Ultron

In both the comics and the MCU, Wanda hails from a small, fictional Eastern-European country; however, which country depends on which of version of the character you follow. In the comics, Wanda was born in the Republic of Transia, the location of Mount Wundagore, the base of the High Evolutionary.

In the MCU, Wanda hails from a similar but distinct nation; Sokovia. Her homeland's capital is destroyed by Ultron in his eponymous film, leading to the drafting of the superhero-registration Sokovia Accords.

4 Accurate: Sibling Of Quicksilver

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch

Another relationship of Wanda's which the MCU took straight from the comics was that with her twin brother, Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver. The two have been a pair since their inception, and the MCU debuted them together in the post-credits sequence of Captain America: Winter Soldier. The pairs' relationship is much the same in both comics and film, with Pietro being especially protective of his (slightly) younger sister. While Pietro may be dead in the MCU at the time of this writing, a resurrection is hardly impossible in the fantastic world of the Marvel Universe.

3 Inaccurate: No Reality-Warping

Scarlet Witch's powers have famously been amorphous for much of her existence, in the comics, they've always had a reality-warping element to them. When she was introduced, Wanda had the ability to cast "hexes," causing random things to happen, which later storylines, such as Avengers Disassembled and House Of M took to another level. In the MCU, however, her powers are more straightforward: telekinesis, the ability to generate energy blasts, and some form of telepathy, all of which physically manifest as fittingly scarlet streams of energy.

2 Accurate: Unstable Powerhouse

Something true in both the Comics and the MCU is that, were the full potential of her powers to be unlocked, Scarlet Witch would be quite possibly the most powerful member of the team. In Avengers: Endgame, Wanda is one of the few heroes who are able to fight Thanos one-on-one and is even winning the battle until the Mad Titan calls for artillery to be launched at her.

However, Wanda's powers are also inherently unstable, meaning her control of them is limited; this can be seen in both Avengers: Disassembled, when her reality-warping goes out of control and has lethal consequences, or in Captain America: Civil War, when she accidentally sends a bomb hurtling into a skyscraper with her unstable telekinesis.

1 Inaccurate: No Chaos Magic

In the comics, Wanda was a student of witch Agatha Harkness, who taught her to use the power of "chaos magic" to augment her reality-warping; this made Wanda a witch in more than just name. However, the MCU has thus far not included this mystical aspect of Wanda's character, instead depicting her powers as merely an innate part of her bestowed by her exposure to the Mind Stone's power.
