WandaVision Episode 8 Breakdown - Source Of Wanda's Powers Revealed

3. Wanda's Powers And Chaos Magic

Agatha reveals that what Wanda is using is called ‘Chaos Magic’, a kind of magic that is so potent and powerful that most witches thought it was just a myth. In the comics, Wanda first encounters this kind of magic by virtue of being born near Mount Wundagore, where the Elder God slash Arch Demon Chthon was trapped years earlier.

This guy was powerful and used Chaos Magic to make himself somewhat of a god of chaos. I mean he wasn’t powerful enough to avoid being overthrown but that’s besides the point. It’s noted that without Chton’s touch, Wanda’s powers wouldn’t be much more potent than the average witch using energy manipulation- but is this still true in the MCU or is it more the infinity stone that enhanced her the power she has?

Chthon speaks at points about the great taste of weak souls, something that becomes relevant as Agatha goes over the creation of Westview and Wanda’s harnessing and control of the ‘weak’ people living in it.
