She is portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She is thought to be one of the most powerful people in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and can control things with her mind.

Her first appearance was against the Avengers during Avengers: Age Of Ultron. She then started serving Ultron before switching teams with her brother and joining the Avengers. She was part of the 50% ...read more. I always see Wanda as a very sensitive type, sensitive to loss, sensitive to criticism, sensitive to public opinion, sensitive to manipulation. That is her weakness, and the sad story is that she's been through all of it. Multiple times. Because of that she grew into someone in need of people who understand her and love her for WHO she is and not WHAT she is. All that out the way, she grew up in a country at war and the only sense of escapism was watching her favorite sitcom shows, then a stark bomb killed her parents, she and her brother were trapped for 2 whole days surrounded by guns and explosions, nothing to eat or drink and probably no sleep too. After that she and her brother spent most of their time joining a cause trying to get justice for the murder of their parents, her brother became her only sense of humanity. Then they got experimented on by hydra for who knows how long. She lost her entire city and her brother who was her only sense humanity, she was ready to die at the ...more
She was trapped under a bed for two days while her parents lay dead on the floor as she waits for a bomb to go off, She is torchered and undergoes painful experiments, then she watches her home country get destroyed, and then she causes a bunch of people to die because she was trying to save her friend's life and is blamed for it all, then she loses the love of her life and disappears for five years. And once she tries to get back what she lost, she brainwashes and entire town just to get the love of her life back and people think of her as a villain. If that isn't a tragic backstory/story then I don't know what is.
She was a survivor of gruesome and painful experiments. Then her brother, Quicksilver, died in Age of Ultron. Then the love of her life, Vision died TWICE in front of her.
" She lost her parents, and then she lost her brother, and then she lost Vision twice and once SHE did it.
