MCU: 10 Greatest Ever Wanda Maximoff Moments

10. Strucker's Experiments

What kind of monster would let a German scientist experiment on them in order to protect their country? In an effort to help rid war torn Sokovia of strife, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff joined HYDRA and voluntarily became test subjects of Wolfgang von Strucker and Loki's scepter.

This resulted in the twins gaining special abilities which, in the words of Maria Hill, manifested themselves as Pietro being fast and Wanda being weird. Though this part of the story wasn't shown until Age of Ultron in 2015, the Maximoffs made their first MCU appearance in 2014 as part of The Winter Soldier's mid-credit scene.

There were no words spoken by them, instead they were simply shown in their own cell, demonstrating their power. As Pietro zipped around his four walls, Wanda's hands glowed red as she used her abilities to juggle several wooden blocks in the air.

Though this barely scratched the surface of what Wanda would ultimately be able to do in the MCU, it was an incredible tease for what fans had to look forward to in the future. Strucker described her as a miracle, and he wasn't wrong.
