Being the daughter of one of the world's most infamous villains can clearly screw a person up. This was never more clear than when Scarlet Witch began dating, and eventually married, fellow Avenger, the Vision. Because the Vision is a robot. And the only members of the Avengers that had a problem were Hawkeye (who was in love with Wanda himself) and Quicksilver, who, surprisingly, had issues with his sister dating a piece of machinery. Eventually, the pair even had twin children named William and Thomas. And then it all went bad. Wanda's reality-warping powers began to spiral out of control, taking her mind with it. Turns out that the children were actually fragments of the demon Mephisto's soul which Wanda's powers had transformed into babies because her husband was a robot. To protect her from the trauma of losing her children, Wanda's mind was erased. It didn't stay that way for long, and, in one of the darkest moments in the team's history, the Scarlet Witch turned on her teammates, killing Hawkeye and the Vision and destroying the Avengers Mansion. Marvel writer Roy Thomas has previously admitted that the two characters were only put together out of convenience because the Avengers needed a romantic couple, and Wanda and the Vision were the only characters in the team that didn't have their own stand-alone titles. But still, having a female character fall in love with a machine just so that a comic book can appeal to an extra demographic was a dodgy decision from the start.
With a (nearly) useless degree in English literature and a personal trainer qualification he's never used, Freddie spends his times writing things that he hopes will somehow pay the rent. He's also a former professional singer, and plays the saxophone and ukulele. He's not really used to talking about himself in the third person, and would like to stop now, thanks.
