2. Fighting Thanos

Despite the effect Wanda had on the Battle of Wakanda, and the boost she gave the Avengers when she killed Proxima Midnight, Thanos was still victorious as she was dusted away along with half of all the living beings in the universe.

Everyone who returned with the snap of the Hulk's fingers had a reason to fight and stop the Mad Titan, but after he ripped the Mind Stone from Vision's head, instantly killing the Avenger, Wanda Maximoff had something of an added incentive. Just like Ultron before him, Thanos killed someone Wanda loved, and she would make him pay.

There were a few heroes who stepped up to face Thanos one on one, and whether he had the gauntlet or not, he knocked most of them back without so much as breaking into a sweat. Captain Marvel gave him a run for his money, but no one put Thanos on the ropes quite like Wanda.

Stepping in between the Mad Titan and T'Challa, Wanda launched what must have been tonnes of debris, snapped his weapon in half, and stripped him of his armour. Had he not ordered his troops to rain fire on the entire battlefield, the fight would have ended right here.
