We’re still not sure where “Wandavision” is going: Is Wanda the villain? Will we see Magneto? Mephisto? And if Quicksilver appears, which movie version will it be (FOX X-Men or Age of Ultron)?
The comics histories of both Scarlet Witch and Vision have become more convoluted through the years, but here are three straightforward, super old school/classic stories worth digging into. All are available on Comixology/Amazon, and have been collected in multiple reprint editions.
Avengers #16 (1965) – Scarlet Witch started her Marvel Comics career as a villain, serving as a member of Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. When Captain America took the reins of the Avengers, he assembled Scarlet Witch and her brother Quicksilver to be part of the team.
Avengers #57 (1968) – The first appearance of the Vision. “Avengers: Age of Ultron” borrowed ideas and inspiration from this one. Vision’s background got considerably more muddy as time went on, but this is a great place to start.
Avengers #185 (1979) – The origin of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver started to unfold in this issue. Legendary artist alert: The issue sports a George Perez cover and interiors by John Byrne.
