Trivia

 * In the comics, the Scarlet Witch is a mutant, a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants, the daughter of Magneto and the wife of Vision.
 * While Wanda and her brother sister are Magneto's children in the comics, it wasn't established until Vision and the Scarlet Witch #4, in 1983, 19 years after Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's first appearance, that they were his children. For their first 10 years, Wanda and Pietro had been regular mutants, with no ties to Magneto or anyone else. In Giant-Size Avengers #1 (1974), they were revealed to be the children of Golden Age superheroes The Whizzer and Miss America (which was then retconned, by the 1983 revised origin).
 * In the comics, Scarlet Witch's reality warping abilities allowed her to be impregnated, by her android husband and give birth to twin boys. The twins were later erased from existence, but were reincarnated as Wiccan and Speed.
