WandaVision Episode 8: 5 Biggest Talking Points
2. Wanda IS The Scarlet Witch
After six long years in the MCU, Wanda Maximoff has finally been given her comic book moniker, the Scarlet Witch.
In 2015, Marvel Studios did not own the rights to the Scarlet Witch name, resulting in Wanda being referred to by name throughout her subsequent appearances on camera. Until now.
At the climax of this week's episode of WandaVision, Agatha Harkness announced to Wanda that she is not a simple mutant or an extraordinary being who has gained powers - she is the Scarlet Witch.
According to Harkness, there has always been a myth surrounding a witch with incredible powers - those that none have possessed before.
Her ability to create a reality from scratch is something that no one has ever shown before, aside from Thanos when he was in possession of the Reality Stone.
The Scarlet Witch has finally appeared in the MCU, with powers unbeknownst even to Wanda herself.
