đ„ The Hidden Truth About Scarlet Witch vs. The IlluminatiâWhy They Never Stood a Chance! đ„
Marvel fans are still debating one of the most shocking moments in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessâthe brutal slaughter of the Illuminati by the Scarlet Witch. But what if I told you that the Illuminati never actually underestimated Wanda Maximoff? They knew their Wanda wasnât a threat. What they didnât know was who the Scarlet Witch truly wasâand that mistake cost them their lives.
Hereâs why their biggest miscalculation wasnât arroganceâbut ignorance. And why Scarlet Witchâs most overlooked power explains everything. đ
đŽ The Illuminati Never Feared WandaâBut They Never Knew The Scarlet Witch
In Earth-838, the Illuminati had no reason to fear their Wanda Maximoff. She wasnât a villain, she wasnât a major player in their world. But when they faced the Scarlet Witch, they assumed she was just a different version of the Wanda they knew.
đšÂ Big mistake. đš
They saw Doctor Strange as the real threatâbecause in their reality, he was the one who nearly destroyed the multiverse. But Scarlet Witch? To them, she was just a grieving mother, a powerful but predictable magic user.
Except⊠she wasnât.
She was the Scarlet Witch, a being prophesied to destroy reality itself. A Nexus Being. A wielder of Chaos Magic. A living embodiment of probability manipulation.
The Illuminati never got the chance to realize what that actually meant.
đ Scarlet Witch Didnât Just Warp RealityâShe Warped Probability Itself
One of the most underrated aspects of the Scarlet Witchâs abilities is probability warping. Fans often focus on her reality-warping abilities, but probability manipulation is what truly sets her apart.
And itâs exactly how she obliterated the Illuminati in seconds.
đ Black Boltâs DeathâMore Than Just Reality Warping
We all remember the horrific moment: Scarlet Witch erased Black Boltâs mouth, and his own power killed him. But hereâs the keyâhis sonic blasts arenât supposed to backfire that way.
In normal circumstances, his abilities wouldnât implode like that.
But Wanda warped probability itself, changing the natural outcome of his power set. She didnât just remove his mouthâshe altered the very laws of cause and effect, ensuring that his own powers would work against him.
Thatâs next-level terrifying.
đ§ The Illuminati Never Even Had a Chance
Letâs break down why each Illuminati member was doomed from the start:
âĄÂ Black Bolt â His own power turned against him due to probability warping.
đĄïžÂ Captain Carter â A super soldier, but human. She never stood a chance against Chaos Magic.
đ Captain Marvel (Maria Rambeau) â More powerful than most, but ultimately crushed by Wandaâs sheer force.
đ§ŹÂ Mister Fantastic â The âsmartest man aliveâ got shredded like string cheese before he could even strategize.
đ” Professor X â Tried to break into Wandaâs mind, but he underestimated her mental defenses and got snapped like a twig.
And Doctor Strange? They feared him because they knew what their Strange had done. But they had no data on the Scarlet Witch.
đź The Real Lesson? Scarlet Witch Is Beyond Any Known Threat
The Illuminati werenât necessarily arrogantâthey were uninformed.
They assumed Wanda Maximoff and the Scarlet Witch were interchangeable, not realizing that one was a mutant with magic, while the other was a cosmic-level force capable of rewriting the rules of existence.
By the time they understood? They were already dead.
What do YOU think? Did the Illuminati ever have a real shot at stopping her? Or was this battle lost before it even began? Drop your thoughts below! đđ„
