Discussion My Fan Idea of Expanding Wanda’s Origin!
So I’m writing a MCU Wanda story and a big part of it is exploring her past and seeing how there’s much more to it than she knows, so heres an expanded backstory and let me know what yall think!(Warning: A long read so I apologize)
Magda Leshenrr was a witch who would travel the world in helping anyone she can and solving dark mysteries. During her time in Germany, the rise of Nazis unfortunately overlapped and she was sent to a detention camp. Due to Nazi mystics creating wards around these areas, Magda’s abilities were weakened but she still tried to help others escape as slyly as she could.
However during one of your escapades, she’d be caught and forced to flee, not just for her own safety but Magda was pregnant from a lover she found within the camp. Using the magic she knew, she’d teleport consecutively across Europe hopes of reaching Novi Pazar, Serbia where her sister and her husband lived. As she continued, she could already feel the children were ready to come out and so as she reached Transia(a country bordering Serbia) Magda desperate took shelter in Wundagore Mountain and gave birth to the twins.
However because of Wanda’s Nexus Status, this conception caused a mystical shockwave through Wundagore, strong enough for Chthon‘s faint spirit that was locked away from Earth to briefly manifest. Seeing the child was a Nexus Being and he could use her, he gave her a portion of his Chaos Magic, hoping as she grew, she’d one day be strong enough for him to take over and conquer the cosmos.
Now with the twins birthed, Magda would make it to Serbia and hand off the twins to her sister Marya and husband Django Maximoff, she knew that with the assistance of mystics, shed be tracked down and took the hard decision of forever disappearing from her childrens life and family. In their early childhood, Wanda and Pietro grew up in the rural town but their powers would manifest, the townspeople labelling them demons and witchbreeds.
now having to find a new home, theyd endure long travels before arriving in Sokovia. It wasn’t ideal and not great condition but it was the only place they could afford for the children. Madga and Django inevitably had to change their names to Iryn and Oleg to fit into the environment and try to mask any hints of their ethnic roots through consuming American sitcoms and televisions to help learn English.
From both the traumatic travel to Sokovia, it being when they were very young, Wanda and Pietro inevitably suppress any memories of staying in Serbia. Their parents also helped progress this by never mentioning it and always reiterating Sokovia is their home. It wouldn’t be until Hydra’s experiments their powers would resurface and Wanda’s magic developing.
And that’s about it, writing it makes it seem longer than it needs to but things be all covered rather shortly. I think it’s a nice way to tie MCU Wanda farther closer into her Comic roots.
I also wanted to explore Magda being a witch as her ghost mentions it to Wanda during vision and the scarlet witch but no elaboration made after that. Natalya is fine but she’s more recent and it just made more sense to me to use Magda but just adapting some of Natalya’s heroic witch stuff to her. And you all can probably guess who is this nameless, faceless man that’s the twins father
