How Powerful Scarlet Witch Really Is In Each MCU Movie
Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Doctor Strange 2.
The Scarlet Witch's powers grow with every MCU appearance and major tragedy that happens in her life, and with the rollout of MCU Phase 4, it is once again time to ask how powerful Scarlet Witch truly is. As Agatha Harkness explains in the finale of WandaVision, “The Scarlet Witch is not born; she is forged. She has no coven or need for incantation. Her power exceeds that of the Sorcerer Supreme. It is her destiny to destroy the world.” This foreshadowed what happens in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ending, during which Wanda Maximoff nearly destroys all of reality until America Chavez, through Doctor Strange's guidance, shows Wanda the error of her ways. So, how powerful is Wanda Maximoff, really? At this point, Scarlet Witch's powers are only limited by the imagination of the character's next writer.
However, what's clear is that with every major appearance of Scarlet Witch in the MCU, she only grows stronger, in line with the prophecy about Wanda either ruling or destroying the world. Following Wanda's appearances in Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War, audiences first get a glimpse of Wanda's sheer power when she goes toe-to-toe with Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. After Wanda loses Vision, WandaVision reveals that Scarlet Witch can bend reality to her will through her subconscious mind. Corrupted by the Darkhold in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda's reach extends across the multiverse. Scarlet Witch's death in the ending of Doctor Strange 2 even implies that only Wanda is capable of destroying Scarlet Witch.
