Abstract

WandaVision was my introduction to Wanda’s depiction in the MCU, however, it was through fan fiction that I learned of her Jewish/Roma comic book origins. After exploring the portrayals of Wanda’s character by fan fiction writers, I began to explore her history outlined by comic book writers from her first appearance in 1964 to her more recent appearances in 2018 and 2019.
