By the end of WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff had enslaved an entire town to create a delusional family life after the death of her loved one. Later, she went up against Doctor Strange, trying to be reunited with her lost family, almost murdering a child, and killing Earth-838’s Illuminati before being taken down.
