6 Marvel Comics to help explain Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Avengers: Disassembled

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis

Avengers Disassembled is the Marvel comic that made Wanda Maximoff’s immense power popular. Wanda’s powers got stronger as time went on, but this was something else. She lost control after being reminded that she had children. Finding out that her friends lied to her, she destroyed Avengers’ Mansion and used their own team members and illusions of their enemies to do it. This is still known as the worst day in Avengers history.

In the end, it was Doctor Strange who took her down. He showed her what she’d done and put her to sleep. Before the Avengers could decide what to do with her, Magneto appears and takes her away. He brings her to Genosha in hopes that Xavier could help her. Unfortunately, he couldn’t. This leads to House of M.

House of M

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis

House of M is a Marvel Comics event that fans want to see in the MCU. Wanda recreated the universe and made mutants the dominant species. Humans were now the minority. Not only that, all of her friends and other heroes got everything they wanted. It seemed like utopia was achieved. That didn’t last long.

After the heroes remembered their lives before the world was changed, they went to set things back to the way they were. Wanda felt betrayed. As if all her work for them was for nothing. More than that, she believed that mutants were freaks. And, with three words (“No more mutants.”) she almost erased the mutant gene.
