6. Magik

Illyana Rasputin, a.k.a. Magik, is one of the most powerful mystical warriors in any comic book. As she’s gotten older, Illyana has gotten stronger, smarter, and more skilled. More than that, she’s become meaner. When someone threatens her or the people she loves, there’s no limit to what she’ll do to protect them.

If Wanda had the audacity to venture into the X-Men’s mansion or Krakoa, with plans of hurting people, Magik would take her to another realm. She’d bring her to Limbo. A place where Magik is the Sorcerer Supreme and her powers are absolute. Wanda would be outnumbered by Magik’s minions as well. Once Wanda is in Limbo, the fight would be over.

5. Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider’s powers are the most underrated in the comic book genre. The super strength, durability, and hellfire is enough. However, that’s not what Wanda should be worried about. The Penance Stare is the one that would take Wanda out.

The Penance Stare makes the guilty live the pain they’ve caused from the victim’s perspective. Wanda has hurt dozens, maybe millions, of people. As we’ve seen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, there’s remorse in Wanda. Having her feel the hurt she caused would leave her paralyzed. There’s not a move in the Marvel Universe that would be more effective than the Penance Stare.
