I'm new here so I don't really know where to post this, but I have a question about ultimate scarlet witch's power. How is it possible to "do the math" in some cases. I mean how can her probability powers turn Longshot into a cat. The chance of someone turning into a cat with no means other than chance is 0.
Scarlet Witch
Character » Scarlet Witch appears in 4412 issues.
The world knows Wanda Maximoff as the Scarlet Witch, with probability manipulation and reality-warping abilities. The twin sister of Quicksilver, mother to Wiccan and Speed, and ex-wife of the Vision; Wanda has taken on many roles throughout her life but will forever be known for causing the Decimation.
Ultimate Scarlet Witch's Power
Scarlet witch has never turned longshot into a cat in the ultimate universe but she did once in the regular time line, the probability of one turning into a cat is 0/1, she can turn that number into 10/5, thus changing someone into a cat. get it? and the scarlet with has studied magic endlessly so when you combine magic + enhance probability one can really do whatever one wishes.
in the ultimate universe she has to do the math as in calculate the probability, she needs to know the numbers she is working with, let's say she wants to bring an airplane down, she would need to know all the weak points of the plane and then go into an elaborate calculation and she wha she is working with, in the regular time line this calcutation is done automatically by her power

The Ultimate Scarlet Witch was my favorite, he powers are more, how can you say, meta human. As this incarnation focused more on realistic term of using her powers (i.e. Using her powers, she needed to know the math.) while the original was more magic intoned.

"I agree, she was one of my favorite Ultimates, and I hated that she died in Ultimates 3. And I did like how they did her powers, the whole "doing the math" idea was very smart and made her powers way more believable.
good power tho a little over shadowed by the ick factor with quicksilver, come on theyre from eastern europe not alabama
Her powers work pretty much like Arcanna's from the latest Squadrom Supreme universe... the one from Ultimate Power... where they basically can pull stuff from parallel alternate realities. They can alter quantum randomness to pick and choose which reality becomes the future. Like Wanda said when fighting thor she would "find the universe where he is a defenseless baby seal" and make it the reality. Or where Arcanna chooses a reality where instead of a missile, they threw them flowers." Well physicists say that technically anything is possible some things are just highly improbable. "
At least thats how they worked till Ultimatum/Ultimate origins where they pretty much said she had reality altering powers... Altho Ultimates 3 and Ultimate Origins contradict eachother since in U. Origins Savage Land had dinosaurs long before Magneto set up base there... while Ult 3 says Wanda pulled the dinosaurs into this reality when Magneto sent Wolverine to kill Quicksilver.
Boy... the ultimate universe became a bloody mess

But anyways in the Ultimate Power arc, Scarlet Witch stated that Arcanna's "magic" (basically both Arcanna and Scarlet Witch states their power as magic, for some reason, maybe to exaggerate their power a bit.) did not come from the traditional source rather than the underpinning of reality which was her ability to perceive and change the quantum reality, so this means that Scarlet Witch ability to manipulates probability/reality works slightly different. As she can make effect happens while working her math, Scarlet Witch could both manipulate and alter reality while Arcanna can just pull things from other realities. But your statement was more better than mines :)
" @Charmix: I'm not sure if She's a genius, but isn't she still at least FAIRLY intelligent? "I never said that did I O___O?
" @Charmix: Sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of anything, I just remember The Scarlet Witch being smart, but she may have gotten even smarter. "OOh don't apologize :) we make mistakes, its normal ;)
" @Charmix:True, but I remember the Scarlet Witch being a rather mediocre character once but now she's become a total powerhouse! "Because she was the passive member in her team, but her ability were so strong she was able to kill hundreds of soldiers with one attack though it left her unconscious, because of the many distinct set of probability out comes.

"If the chances are 0 with turning Longshot into a cat, then she obviously knew the math pretty easily. ;)
" @Charmix: But doesn't that mean the Scarlet Witch isn't totally responsible for ANY of the deaths she's caused? "Where are we getting at?
" @Charmix: I heard that when The Scarlet Witch went mad, she killed a bunch of people, but since her power makes her so unstable, it's not really her fault! "Thats's 616 not 1610 ;P
She was mentally stable in the 616, either that she was just incest.
" @Charmix: What? but I thought she went insane in the 616 universe! "Correct this is Ultimate Scarlet Witch's Power not 616 :)
" @Charmix: But didn't The Scarlet Witch go insane in "Avengers: Disassembled"? that was a title that takes place in the 616 universe doesn't it? "Yes, but what does it have to do with Ultimate, don't get sidetracked ;P
I prefer Ultimate Scarlet Witches' powers
than the current SW.
Her powers then seemed more 'real' and you could probably believe them more. But now, with the whole reality warping and basically doing anything, it's just made me dislike Scarlet Witch. She's gone over the top in my opinion.
"anyone got any scans of Ultimate Scarlet Witch doing the 'math' and using her powers? "
I don't think there are any. I read on wikipedia (sadly) that the fact she had to 'do the math' was implied. I'm not sure if Wanda herself stated that she did.
