Scarlet Witch
Wanda Maximoff began in 1964 as a reluctant villain with a vaguely defined hex power and became, sixty years later, the character Marvel uses to write about grief. The turn came with House of M in 2005, in which she rewrites reality after losing children who were never quite real, and it established the pattern the character has followed since: enormous power that is inseparable from enormous unprocessed loss, and stories in which the antagonist and the victim are the same person.

Who is Scarlet Witch?
Wanda Maximoff began in 1964 as a reluctant villain with a vaguely defined hex power and became, sixty years later, the character Marvel uses to write about grief. The turn came with House of M in 2005, in which she rewrites reality after losing children who were never quite real, and it established the pattern the character has followed since: enormous power that is inseparable from enormous unprocessed loss, and stories in which the antagonist and the victim are the same person. The 2021 television series pushed that further than the films had, building an entire sitcom pastiche out of a woman refusing to accept a death. She and her brother were also, for decades, at the centre of a rights tangle in which they could be described as Avengers but not as mutants, because different studios controlled the two properties.

Why Scarlet Witch endures
The Marvel character most consistently used to write about grief rather than heroism, and the lead of the studio's most formally experimental television work.
What Scarlet Witch looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: Crimson energy, the headpiece, and swirling hex sigils
Deep crimson is the identifier, and the character's power renders as flowing energy rather than a fixed emblem — which makes her better suited to atmospheric, illustrative designs than to badge-style prints. The headpiece silhouette is the closest thing to a mark.
No fixed emblem — the power renders as flowing crimson energy, which suits illustrative and atmospheric designs rather than badge prints. Deep red on black. Teen and adult, with women's cut common.
