Sould Scarlet Witch have had more powers?

[Joe Kerr]

She's a good piece and all but somtimes I wonder if maybe she should have had a little more than just probablity control. I don't think the figure uses her full witch powers. Anyone have any ideas?

[Joe Kerr]

That should be, "Should Scarlet Witch have more powers?"

[the itsy bit]

I don't think so, I haven't read many Avengers but I've never seen her do anything else then using her probability control.
So what powers should she get ?
wouldn't it make her too expensive for the Avengers/brotherhood (having already enough 100+ figs) they need some cheap figs.

[goth=fc=]

I agree.

She should have her hex power. I remember it from a Spidey Team up, and it was a ranged attack.

What would have been beautiful, would have been to give her one click of aid on her dial. She'd be a great support piece then. Otherwise, she's just a life vest.

[H-MAN 11]

I completely agree that Scarlet B!+ch should have more powers. in the X-MEN comics she wasn't a bad fighter. she had the mutant ability to make matal objects either melt or blow up. she should have pulse wave good range and maybe even a click of ranged combat expert.

I think she could only do that because of the probability control. What are the chances that that trash can explodes, in come Scarlet Witch and poof. Explotion city.Just my interpretation
Also she can't have RCE of she'd lose PC

[JayThor]

I agree with Magnito, and she does have a ranged attack for the hexbolts

[Silverlynx35]

Hex bolts at 6 range for 2 damage. And a flight base. I've seen her fly quite a bit. Not sure how though.

Just a thought

I have never seen her fly, unless when she was possessed by Chthon.

Again, what are the chances that if Scarlet Witch jumped off a cliff, she could fly, with any one else, not so good.

[Silverlynx35]

I think you may be right. I'm thinking of Ultimate X-men.

[JayThor]

Could be, I've never read that. I have read just about every Avengers/WCA though, and she only flew on those skycycles they used to use around #204

She is also an accomplished magician, not on the level of Dr. Strange, but she has power. And whenever a someone's written themselves into a corner and they don't know what to do they usually have Scarlet Witch cast some random spell that leads to someone saving the day. I think a random click of Perplex right at the end of ther dial would be perfect...since Outwit would be waaay to strong.

The problem is she's already way more expensive than her brother, and giving her even more powers would really give Quicksilver the shaft.

[Holothuria]

If her powers have been strong enough to allow her to have children with an android (okay, so the kids were actually some kind of psionic projection, but they were still caused by her powers), something which, as far as I can tell, has crossed the bridge from infinitely improbable to impossible, just about any power in the game could be justified for her. What are the odds a whale will fall from the sky and make a barrier? Thump. What are the odds sunspots will enhance the damage done by Superman's heat vision? Phss-PFFFF! (Yes, that's the sound of enhancement affecting heat vision.) What are the odds Scarlet Witch's hex bolts will hit a gas can that Kingpin didn't even know he had in his pocket and cause an explosion? Boom! Maybe a piece of sheet metal will suddenly roll in front of the Witch, making her impervious to Rogue's attack. I think I've made my point clear: anything can happen with the Scarlet Witch. Of course, I don't like her, so I'm happy with her having next to nothing.

thank you and good night

[Doctor Strange]

Wanda's full power is difficult to define even on paper (much less in clix form.

Her magical abilities are not at all like Strange's tho, Strange uses magic to cause specific effects dirrectly, while the Scarlet witch uses magic to help her controll her Hex bolts (probability controll)

She has disrupted Doctor Stranges controll over the Eye of Amagatto, caused electronics to disrupt, gas lines to explode..

In other words, her vet version could stand to have more power.
Energy explosion, Energy shield/deflection, defend, Incapicitate are all valid powers to give her. Still tho, she's very usefull as is.

I just wish her vet had maby 2 damage and a click of energy explosion, at least just to set her apart from the rookie and exp.

It would be nice to see a Unique of when Chiton possesed her as well. She would be a powerhouse for sure.

[blueleader]

Aww heck, i just want to know what she's doing Saturday night!:)

yep, Quicksilver could really use HSS.

Aboot Wanda, well her prabability control could make ANYTHING happen so she could have all the skills in Marvel and DC combined.
Bottom line she just doesn't translate well (even in Avengers comics what would you make her do ?).
PC as her "only" power is what makes her cheap and still true to character.

[Doctor Strange]

Even if Wandas cost was 100, Quicksilver would still be usefull at 24-28. Sometimes it's better to have a figure with a low point cost (just ask superman) and for the points, you can't get much better than quicksilver.

I made a custom power for my green ring Scarlet witch, Doctor Strange figs... etc..

Magic.
This character uses magic to unexpected ends (optional)
Anytime durring your turn, you may roll 2d6. Apply the result to the chart below. THis character gains the indicated power till the begining of your next turn. If the character already has a power in the indicated slot, the new power takes it's place (future FAQ update-If the new power takes the same spot as Magic, it does not cancel Magic)

2 Regeneration
3 Perplex
4 Ranged Combat Expert
5 Energy explosion
6 Support
7 Phasing
8 Incapicitate
9 Super Senses
10 Telekenesis
11 Outwit
12 Invulnerability

I figure that the power itself would not cost overly much.. maby the average of all the powers combined? I made sure that the more powerfull abilities were difficult to roll for as well.

Maybe she could have had alitle Psychic Blast, to really represent the "magical" power of her hex bolts. Since most magical attack ignore most conventional body armor, as does PB, it would be a good way to represent a ranged magical attack, I think.

[Joe Kerr]

Psychic blast would be good. There has to be a reason why Ultron fears Scarlet Witch. That might be good for the Hex power…

Can she use telekinesis? I thought I’ve seen her move objects that way before.
