Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, is a native of Sokovia who grew up with her fraternal twin brother, Pietro. Born with the latent magical ability to harness Chaos Magic, she developed a hatred against Tony Stark and rallied anti-American protests after the Novi Grad Bombings, which killed her parents.

Years later, in an effort to help purge their country of strife, the twins joined HYDRA and agreed to undergo experiments with the Scepter under the supervision of Wolfgang von Strucker, amplifying her abilities. While her brother developed super-speed, Wanda attained various psionic abilities. When HYDRA fell, the twins joined Ultron to get their revenge on Stark, but abandoned him when they discovered Ultron's true intentions to destroy Earth. Wanda and Pietro fought with the Avengers during the Battle of Sokovia to stop Ultron; Pietro was killed during the battle but Wanda survived, and shortly after Ultron's destruction, became a member of the Avengers.

During the Avengers Civil War, she sided with Captain America and was briefly imprisoned on the Raft before Rogers freed her alongside his teammates. Over the next two years, Maximoff reunited and reconciled with Vision, and together the two started living off the grid in Europe, forming a romantic relationship. However, the two soon came under threat from Thanos and the Black Order, who sought the Mind Stone. After being ambushed by the Order, they sought refuge in Wakanda with the remaining Avengers. Maximoff took part in the city's defense when the Order invaded the city; she died in the Snap after Thanos completed the Infinity Gauntlet. After the effects of the Snap were undone in 2023, Maximoff was among the many heroes who fought during the Battle of Earth, defeating Thanos and his armies.

Wanda soon got closer to James Barnes, who she was helping adapt to having a baby. Once Stevie was taking along with Sarah, the two became even closer while trying to track down Stevie. The two eventually end up dating and having Rebecca Barnes. Bucky was once again taken by Hydra but he was reunited with Stevie and Sarah, he was forced to train them how to fight. He was so happy to be with his daughter again but upset that for the past five years that have been training his child and Sarah to fight. He was held by HYDRA and the Red Room until Stevie and Sarah were trained and Bucky came up with a plan to get them out of there.
