I know Wanda stans love that she's no longer a mutant, but I think it was disastrous for Pietro. I guarantee he'd be used MUCH more if the X-office still had access to him.

The best thing that could had happen to them is before remove from all the X-men mutant bullshit.

They should just take the incest plotline from Ultimates and make it mainstream.

Then he'd totally get used all the time. He'd be Marvel's Jaime Lanister.

Then they wouldn't exist, because they were created as X-Men villains.

Nope, they're also still not Magneto's kids. Which you can tell no one at Marvel likes, because Wanda and Mags still think of each other as father and daughter.

The writer who did the retcon, Rick Remender, confirmed in an interview after he left Marvel that it wasn't his decision. It specifically came from above to make it happen. This was when Marvel was absolutely obsessed with MCU synergy, so presumably that was the reason. It's now been over a decade and it's yet to be rescinded or retconned.

Literally only their first appearance, and they were blackmailed to join Magneto

Why can't Wanda be a mutant and have magic, like Magik?

Okay but are they going to do a big retcon event in 2027 when the new X-Men film comes out?

Unless it uses a Quicksilver who is a mutant, I doubt it.

No, because they won't be using Wanda or Pietro as mutants. Wanda is far too iconic among MCU fans to try and bring in a new mutant version, and normies already get confused over the MCU Pietro/FoX-Men Peter/MCU Ralph Bohner mess.

There's actually two Quicksilvers. Wanda is a triplet.

Bob Harras hasn't worked for Marvel since 2000, and Peter David is dead. There's nobody else at Marvel who cares about Quicksilver that much. The best the X-office would do with him is just make him a background character in some third-tier jobber book that lasts ten issues.

They'd be more likely to just make him a villain again, and make him Magneto's bitch again. There's also a huge chance he'd be one of the lower-tier characters some hack writer would randomly make into a gay just for five minutes of praise on Twitter.

And they outgrew that role in 1965. The X-Men fans insisting Wanda and Pietro are always and forever X-Men characters first and foremost because that's where they first appeared just need to shut up and stay in their lane. You got to borrow Pietro when the Avengers weren't using him, and now there's no longer any point in doing that.

>but muh cartoons
And that's where the problem lies. X-Men cartoons tricked casuals into thinking "Wanda and Pietro exist to be Magneto's kids, that's their whole character" and kept doing weird in name only versions of them, and supposed comics fans who don't actually read comics seem to have fallen for it.

>Which you can tell no one at Marvel likes, because Wanda and Mags still think of each other as father and daughter.
So much so that they'd prefer to write Wanda horribly OOC and ignore how she's always hated Magneto, rather than just comply with their orders that they be unrelated. This is a situation where Marvel needs stronger editorial, because the people pushing this are idiots.

Literally no one in the X-office give a shit about Pietro and the X-fans give even less of one. Need someone to fanboy Mags? You've got Polaris or could choose from about half the X-roster at this point. Need someone to oppose Mags? You've got the other half. Need a designated asshole on the team? He's behind a half dozen more popular characters. If you're dealing with powerlevel fags he's a distant third behind Northstar and Transonic and only if they're including the people who don't have some kind of superspeed as part of a power party platter. If you're one of those weirdos obsessed with in-universe lineages you're going to pick Magneto over Quicksilver. With two exceptions the X-Office and fandom has never shown any actual desire to use or promote the character but will have a neverending screaming tantrum that only they are allowed to have him.

There is literally nothing stopping Marvel from giving the X-office non-mutants and other offices mutants.

They don't because they hate fun.
