10 Worst Things That Ever Happened To Scarlet Witch

10. Left To Be Raised By A Cow

Pietro and Wanda's childhood was rough, no matter which origin story you're looking at. Oddly, one of the nicer ones involves being raised by a sentient cow.

Deep within Wundagore Mountain lies a dangerous Elder God of unimaginable power (more on that later). It's also where a completely oblivious Herbert Edgar Wyndham decided to set up shop to work on his newest creation, the New Men, a race of animal-human hybrids.

One such creature was Bova Ayrshire, a Guernsey cow. As one of the High Evolutionary's first creation, she was essentially a mother figure to the other New Men, making her a prime candidate to help Magda Lehnsherr when she arrived at Wundagore seeking refuge.

Bova served as midwife to Magda, assisting with the birth of the twins, however she would be thrust into a much more important role. Fearing Erik would find her and harm the children, Madga escaped the mountain and left the new-borns behind.

As the only one with any idea how to nurture, Bova had little choice but to raise the twins until they were adopted by the Maximoffs.
