A small observation:

• Wanda’s first set of parents: Robert Frank¹ and Madeline Joyce, both Golden Age superheroes. Robert was still alive, while Madeline had tragically died.
• Wanda’s second set of parents: Django¹ and Marya Maximoff², turned out to be her adoptive parents. Django was still alive, while Marya had tragically died.
• Wanda’s third set of parents: Magneto and Magda². Magneto was, of course, still alive, while Magda had tragically died.
• Wanda’s fourth set of parents: Father (unknown) and Natalya Maximoff. We don’t know what happened to her father, but he’s probably alive. Natalya, on the other hand, tragically died.

_{1. Yes, I know Robert and Django ended up dying too (and then there was the whole business with Marya), but the greater point is about who gets to tell the story of Wanda’s lineage and the trend within the origin stories  themselves.}

_{2. Marya and Magda have no maiden names. Madeline only has one because she was a pre-existing character.}
