MCU: 10 Greatest Ever Wanda Maximoff Moments

After Thanos took the Power Stone from Xandar, and the Space Stone from Loki, leaving Thor and the Asgardians stranded in space, he dispatched Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight to Earth to procure the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead.

Both Wanda and Vision had been hiding from the Avengers and the wider world in Scotland when they were ambushed by one half of the Black Order, with the latter taking a potentially fatal blow before the fight really ever started.

Though Vision was holding his own against Glaive to begin with, when Wanda heard his scream she batted Proxima Midnight aside and flew to her love's aid. Twice she stopped the villains from removing the Infinity Stone from Vision's head, as she essentially fought off the two invading aliens on her own.

Though they were ultimately helped out by the rest of the Avengers, Wanda was ready to take on both Glaive and Midnight to protect Vision, and it's safe to say that had she not been there to protect him, Thanos wouldn't have had any trouble getting his hands on the Mind Stone a lot sooner than he ultimately did. Wanda at least earned Earth's Mightiest Heroes a fighting chance.
