The latest issue of Scarlet Witch reveals that Wanda Maximoff has gained a new power that could potentially cause global destruction. As one of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel Universe, Wanda has already demonstrated her ability to alter reality on a massive scale. In the comic book, she rescues civilians from a building that was destroyed in a battle and compensates them by enchanting them with the ability to win the very next lottery ticket they buy.

Wanda’s New Ability: Unintended Consequences

While Wanda’s intention to help those in need is admirable, her new ability has unintended consequences that could be incredibly dangerous. By directing huge sums of money into new hands, she effectively tosses a grenade into the economy, potentially triggering hyperinflation and other negative effects. If she were to turn to the dark side again, her power could be used to fund the Avengers’ enemies, bankrupt the team, or even destroy the American economy.

Scarlet Witch’s Growing Power

Scarlet Witch’s new power comes after she consumed the Darkhold and gained the power of Chthon. This means that her power continues to grow, and she can now influence probability on a massive scale. As her control of reality deepens, she has the ability to create and destroy fortunes at will. While Wanda’s actions in Scarlet Witch #4 were done with good intentions, the unintended consequences of her power demonstrate the potential for global destruction should she turn to the dark side again.
