Pietro is Wanda’s twin brother. The two were born in Sokovia, a small, made-up Eastern European country. At the age of 10, their parents were killed using Stark weaponry, engendering them with a deep hatred for Tony Stark. Out of hatred for Iron Man and the Avengers, and a desire to wield the power to liberate their war-torn country, Pietro and Wanda volunteered for a dangerous Hydra experiment that exposed them to energies from Loki’s scepter.
The Mind Stone within the scepter gave Pietro and Wanda their superpowers. She got a mysterious suite of psionic powers that allow her to warp reality, and he got . super speed.

After three episodes we’re starting to get a handle on where
WandaVision is going. With the first two episodes set almost solely within the weird world where Wanda and her android lover are trapped, we pieced together some clues. And the third episode confirmed some of our wildest suspicions as well as ending with proof that there’s another world out there. But if you’re still confused we’re here to help. See, the key to Wanda’s situation is her neighbors. After episode three, we know that Agnes and Herb seem to also be trapped in the strange world and are somewhat aware of their situation. And we think we know why.
X-Men #4. A decade later, in
Giant-Size Avengers #1 by Roy Thomas and Rich Buckler, the story expands with a flashback. Introduced by the Golden Age hero the Whizzer, this Mount Wundagore myth leads to a confession. The speedster Robert Frank claims to be Wanda’s long-lost father. This story is also where we first meet Bova as the midwife to Wanda and Pietro’s mother.
Bova becomes the storyteller five years later in
Avengers #186, telling Pietro of her own origin. She was a cow evolved to human form by super-geneticist the High Evolutionary in his Wundagore lab. Bova then contradicted the Whizzer’s tale, informing Pietro that his mother was a distraught wanderer named Magda.

WandaVision has arrived. Marvel’s meta-MCU TV-show-about-TV-shows is an utter delight. And like any good MCU story it’s filled with Easter eggs. From references to classic comics, deep-cut Marvel lore, and hints about the multiverse, there’s a ton to pick apart. As usual, we’re here to break them down for you. So let’s dig into the extraordinary Easter eggs of
Episode Seven – “Breaking the Fourth Wall”

The Morning After
Wanda is finally coming to terms with reality and with that comes the modern age. We begin this episode with a
Modern Family straight-to-camera set-up that features a few little treats. Wanda’s hexagon-covered bed cover and pillow set continues the shapely theme. Wanda also admits she created the false world here, which is a first. Billy and Tommy are in their costume colors again, which is always cute.
