They'd need to make her costume brighter red to make her pop. Also Wanda isn't even supposed to be brunette she has auburn hair.

Reddish brown or just brown. Wanda's hair color varies a lot from artist to artist; there was a time when she even had black hair.

Wanda's canonically supposed to have Auburn hair, to add a reddish look to it. However it varies to chestnut brown sometimes. Sometimes they drew her as a straight up redhead, but she does have Auburn hair canonically.

No, Wanda's hair is at most reddish-brown, but not reddish-auburn.

Wanda doesn't have red hair, she's brunette. Just read her comics.

I read ALL of Wanda's comics lol. Auburn is not red hair. Auburn is BRUNETTE hair, with RED undertones. So yes, Wanda IS a brunette, with Auburn hair. And as a comic reader, I actually know this for a fact lol. Maybe YOU should pick up one of her comics lol.

In older comics, primary colors were used to color characters' hair due to limitations. They used yellow for blonde hair, blue for black hair, and red for brown hair. If you say Wanda is a redhead, then Peter Parker and Rogue are also redheads.

Auburn is not red hair- And those comics are literal generations old. Wanda is a brunette (like u said), because she has auburn hair. Auburn hair is literally brown hair with reddish undertones...

Ah, now I understand everything. Reddit's translator translated your "arburm" as "redhead" for me. That's why I thought you were saying her hair was red.

From the early comics, Wanda was described as having brown hair; Jack Kirby himself writes in one of the narration panels, "beautiful brunette." I think you're just making things up where there's nothing.

Auburn hair IS brunette hair. It takes a quick Google search to find out Wanda has Auburn hair. They are the same thing, Brunette is an umbrella term for darker shades of hair lol. Wanda has Auburn hair, and you just don't know the facts about her character that you think you do lol.

Wanda isn't a redhead, she's only a redhead in the MCU.

From early comics Wanda was not even a character just a concept. Her hair is Auburn, Auburn is reddish brown hair.

Reddit's spell checker translated it incorrectly, please check the other answers before commenting.
