>>149031927>Scarlet witch and wonderman in Busiek's Avengers run was alrightIt really wasn't, it was an early example of Brevoort pushing something he knew fans hated, to deliberately make people mad. It existed just to block AND permanently taint the more popular Wanda/Vision pairing.
>and don't know why Kurt paired them up.It seemed like Brevoort shipped it, he may have done too.
Keep in mind that there was no rape in that West Coast Avengers story though. The page Byrne drew implied it, the art and dialogue was changed to make it clear she was torturing him instead of doing something sexual.
There's a later story in the Wonder Man solo book where he hits Wanda, too. The pairing is cursed.
>>149032003Superheroes typically get a free pass for things that happened when they weren't in their right minds for BIG DUMB EVENT STORY. You can't single Wanda out without also having to 'punish' every other hero who was thrown under the bus for an event. Put the blame where it belongs, with Bendis, Brevoort and Quesada for destroying her for the sake of having a plot device to break up the old Avengers and to get rid of the millions of NPC mutants, and also blame the retards who stuck Marvel with all those mutants in the first place.
But don't pretend House of M was normal default Wanda in her right mind and she needs to be 'punished' for it. Just stop picking at the wound and let a bad old story fade into the irrelevance it deserves.
