Wanda directly with her own resources warped the reality of 616 earth. As a result of her tamperings a chaos wave was unleashed which affected the multiverse. Impressive destruction but Wanda was respnsible directly only for the alteration on a global scale.

You're taking one word from Roma "global" and ignoring the other words like "all creation" "the ascension" and "end of rational existence as we know it." And you're ignoring New Thunderbolts #11 as a whole - where the history of the K'ree empire was rewritten.

What's funny is alot of what Roma said was buzzspeak. "Sidereal string"?

That's like talking about "glassine fragments" in the clouds.

I've always liked Roma, but she does have a penchant for flowery language doesn't she?

"Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't those just buzzwords that dumb people use to. sound important..." 😂

I would say it is around the power of a cube being.

Crunching all of omniversal reality including abstract concepts and "the ascension" - which one can interpret in several ways - into an amorphous blob?

Yeah, sometimes you have to wonder if she's making it up as she goes.

Sidereal is a type of astrology that goes off of the stars, since that's what Sidereal means. . "stars".

To the furthest reaches of imagination?

leigon threatened to do that as well. . and all he did was time travel and kill Xavier.

It's because of an event that happened later that all reality threatened to collapse.

So the same might be seen here. She did something that altered what was supposed to happen later.

And good lord did Joe Q do that. . .

I already proved that it wasn't just the reality of 616 Earth. Thunderbolts addressed how the rest of the 616 reality changed. C'mon now, if Wanda's influence was limited to EARTH, Roma wouldn't be shitting her pants over the end of everything, would she? Roma isn't saying, "Aw man, this chaos waves is changing Earth's all over the place!" Roma is saying, "EVERYTHING is going to DIE!!!!" Big difference.

As stated by Roma the alteration was on a global scale. Thats what wanda was directly responsible for. The abuse of her powers however ruptured dimensional barriers which resulted in a chaos wave which affected reality on a multiversal scale. Impressive but not Wandas direct work. Just the admittedly impressive aftermath.

Tampering with the M'Kraan to set off multiversal destruction is opening the door of the house of reality, going back to the old analogy. What WANDA is doing, in contrast, is saying, "There is no door. There is no house. All this is MINE", circumventing the Crystal entirely. Phoenix needed the Crystal to stabilize reality. Wanda doesn't need anything but Wanda.

Not at all Demi. Because the chaos wave isnt her power. Her power is the catalyst therefore while the destruction is impressive as the chaos wave isnt Wandas power its not a feat of hers. Her feat is altering the globe. Which resulted in the chaos wave:

[B No Wandas more like a gossip on the bus chatting away loudly about her rich friends who are going away for the weekend leaving the mansion unattended. As a result of her actions a lowlife on the bus turns burglar and breaks into the mansion. See the difference? /B]

Still stands

And the chaos wave WAS the result of her power. Wanda accidentally tore a hole in reality that Captain Britain needed to repair. She TORE it, with her own power. It was a little tear because it was accidental. Imagine if Wanda WANTED to undo or remake all creation....she wouldn't just make an accidental tear, she'd bust the whole thing wide open and that would be that. No more anything. It would create a rift that would go right up to the White Hot Room (Phoenix's house) and destroy it. Read the latest Uncanny to see what that looks like. You're telling me Wanda couldn't do that intentionally....or what? And you're telling me that Phoenix is going to sit back and let it happen if she could stop it? The same Phoenix that had no problem stepping in and stopping some space bacteria is going to sit back as all creation crumbles? Nope...she won't stop it because she can't. She's sitting back and hoping her betters can help. As any inferior power should.

Yes wanda tore a hole in reality, thats her feat. That and the warping of earths reality. However those reactions were the catalyst for the chaos wave. Yeah Wanda could just tear a whole in the dimensional barriers intentionally but as the chaos wave isnt her own power then its not as impressive as youre making out. Wanda has no control over the chaos wave its just like her breaking down a dam. The resultant destruction is impressive but not as impressive as having control of that water down to the sub atomic level. Guess who can do that? lol. Jean reformed the 616 reality in the palm of her hand just like that, with her own power. More impressive than anything Wandas done.

The Chaos wave hasnt affected the white hot room so what are you talking about son lol?

Endsong was the last phoenix story for a long time so thats my excuse. Either way we havent heard from Lt so im fine with that no biggie and
given that Wandas power was merely the catalyst for this destruction we've seen nothing from her that suggests shes above cube beings. She has no control over the chaos wave it doesnt even derive from her her power just bursts the damn causing the wave to wash over creation. Leaving the white hot room high and dry. 😱

Not really the same. Roma's very fond of 616 reality. I doubt she would destroy the 616 reality if the threat wasn't to the entire omniverse. Her alteration to the 616 reality - the whole 616 reality and possibly beyond - otherwise explain New Thunderbolts and Otherworld posed a threat to all omniversal creation.

What Legion did was crystallize a single reality, real 616 was still there, and supplant it with AoA. Wanda rewrote the entire reality, 616 doesn't exist anymore, only HoM.

But shes not doing that directly. Her power was the catalyst to cause thi sdestruction. Shes done the equivalent of fracturing the M'kraan crystal thats all. As Roma says wanda made a "global alteration" however her tamperings with reality unleashed a chaos wave which is sweeping through creation. It isnt wandas power, it isnt controlled by Wanda its the result of her botch job. shes burst a dam and the tidal wave is hammering through creation

Legion's actions threatened the multiverse.
Wanda's actions threatened the multiverse.

I don't see a difference.

Besides, its nopt the omniverse, as I doubt the real world will feel more than a burp.

Explain to me if it's a "global alteration" causing this then why does Saturnyne run off to destroy the entire reality. New Thunderbolts is enough in itself to show it's beyond global. Also Otherworld is hit by the initial alteration.

I haven't read AoA in ages and I didn't read the crappy anniversary stuff but from what I recall Legion's actions did no such thing. They froze a single reality and from that point onwards there was a new reality.

Well actually the the strands that held this multiversal effect had come apart at the seams so Jean had to knit them back together again and re-energise the strands. So while i enjoyed your analogy its really not the appropriate. Its more like a snapped cable causing a suspension bridge to fall apart and you grabbing both ends, pulling the bridge together and tying the cable up.

Again, it's part of her job to do that. Impressive would be if Phoenix, who is so mighty that she created everything, would simply fix all realities. If she were as mighty as you've portrayed her, she wouldn't need the Crystal, would she?

Yeah. Your analogy doesn't make sense and mine does.


You're still talking as if the chaos wave is Wandas power. It isnt. Its a result of Wandas tamperings so her causing chaos waves isnt impressive in terms of power. Its impressive in terms of the amount of mayhem and destruction her actions have resulted in but the fact that she set off a chain reaction makes it less impressive than a number of Phoenixes feats. Yes she could consciously disrupt a dimensional barrier to cause a chaos wave but then so could any decent reality warper by the looks of things. Its impressive but the fact that Roma says the reality warp is global in size suggests shes no more powerful than a cube being and therefore as aforementioned a number of cosmics could do the same thing.

If you think about the number of reality warpers we've had and the number of times we've changed reality and how there's never been a chaos wave that threatened all creation before, it would HAVE to be something specific to Wanda's power. It's NOT something any reality warper can do, it's something only Wanda can do because she's done it. And like I said in my last post, she could easily blow open the whole operation if she wanted to. All the chaos was just from a little accidental tear. A tear created by Wanda. The tear created a chaos wave, which is the same as the "draft" that Japf had described. If Wanda blew the whole thing open, there wouldn't be a "chaos wave", it would be THE END.


How so? Your level of understanding wildly fluctuates from thread to thread my friend. 😉

Normally because I choose to humor your senseless ramblings. lol.


The crystal is a multiversal reset switch at the centre of creation. The results of Wandas actions can easily be accomplished by any old lowlife who fractures the crystal. Hence the need for a guardian. (Jahf) Wanda instead of taking the crystal route initiated the collapse of the multiversal elsewhere. As its not her own power directly collapsing the multiverse shes hardly greater than it. Thats strange logic Demi.

A lot of good jahf did in stopping Wanda, who, as I said before, tore through creation with her own power. The side effect was a chaos wave, but that's only because her machinations left a little tear. If she wanted to unmake everything, she wouldn't just put a little tear. She'd rip it all open, and it would cause the instant end of the omniverse. Fact


Also considering Phoenix telekinetically reformed the 616 reality in issue 154 of New X-men and the fact that she makes creation cyclically i beg to differ my friend.

Only 616? That Phoenix, so small scale....


The chaos wave wandas tamperings set off must have altered reality in its wake then as the scan below clearly states the alteration was global in scale:

Dude, your last batch of scans nearly crashed my computer.

Anyway, Wanda limited her specific changes to the people affecting 616 Earth by giving them what they wanted. That's what Roma is referring to. But the effects went through all realities itself. And, as I already said, it affected beings such as the Kree, Shi'ar and Galactus.

The central point is clear - if she was able to tear a hole in the fabric of creation, there's nothing she can't do if she so chose. Nobody else has done this without the M'Kraan Crystal, which you yourself has said is beyond the Infinity Gauntlet and HOTU.


Although the explanation for the alien races could be that factions were in the vicinity and therefore caught up in the reality warp. Either way Wanda outrightly altered reality on a global scale but her tamperings ruptured reality causing a chaos wave which itself not only disrupted reality in its wake but also began to collapse it.

But if you look at the graphics of the reality wave, realities were destroyed and shifted all over the place. Multiple versions of Rogue and others were seen flying through space and time.

And I doubt Ronan, the Kree, Galactus and the Inhumans (moon-based) all just so happened to be on the planet at the time it hit. C'mon, now. It appears that Wanda changed reality not just of 616 Earth but of people related to 616 Earth, too. Like the Surfer, Galactus, the Shi'ar and anyone else who is somehow related to the Earth. So in one sense it's localized, but at the same time it's clear that it's effects stretch beyond that with Wanda having the option of going beyond even that. That's how she hit people who weren't even on Earth. She did specifically what she wanted, but to say that's the extent when she's tearing through creation is silly.


Considering my baby cannot die id love to hear your explanation on how this could happen.

Well, she would be there, and then White Hot Room would be destroyed, then Phoenix wouldn't be there. There you go.


Wanda is at the end of the day is merely setting off a chain reaction. Its not her own power, you're making it sound like it is. Even Legion has caused reality to disrupt like this by merely tampering with the crystal. Id understand your point if the chaos wave was inherent to Wanda but it isnt. Shes merely disrupted a dimensional barrier. So whats to stop any other cosmic from doing that? Changes nothing. As stated the alteration took place on a global scale and its botched execution resulted in chaos waves.

I addressed all these questions before, but to summarize - The chaos wave was the result of the small tear in reality that Wanda accidentally caused. That little wave went through and started mucking with everything. It was Wanda's power that created the tear. Wanda wouldn't need a chaos wave, she'd just rip the whole thing apart and start again. It's like a raging waterfall having a faucet. It channeled its power through the faucet and the faucet is filling the bathtub up. You think that waterfall NEEDS the faucet to fill stuff up with water?

The end of evertything sure sounds like he did.

Need me to shrink that for you?

Demi you stole Wanda Prime from me! You rat bastard, heh. The power is omniversal, the alterations were beyond global. Mad Jim Jaspers was brought back to life in Otherworld, the nexus of realities. The history of the K'ree was rewritten. Wanda has the power to Big Crunch the omniverse. Puts her at abstract level of higher. Definitely above little Frankie Richards and that's all that matters to me. She can affect everything in omniversal reality. But she can't affect the White Hot Room, beyond reality where Phoenix resides, so despite Wanda Prime being uber she's probably still a small notch below that cow Jean.

Untrue - Roma said that the wave of destruction will expand eventually to Ascension itself (White Hot Room). So Wanda's power CAN touch the Phoenix's home.

The global alteration which Wanda did directly with her powers unleashed the chaos wave that has swept from earth to the rest of creation causing mayhem, altering reality and causing it to slowly collapse in on itself. Its all there in the scan:

As for Aoa i think you need to reread it or better still go a page or two back to read my scans from it. Legion was tapping into the power of the M'kraan crystal to time travel and empower himself. This misuse caused it to crack which resulted in the crystallisation of 616. It was wiped out and replaced by AOA. However his actions also mean that Jean never became phoenix so she wasnt there to deal with the aftermath of D'kenns tampering with the crystal therefore dooming the multiverse.

Like Legion did?

you do know that the White Hot Room is outside of reality and therefore not affected by any of this HOM bull. It wouldn't be affected. Scarlet Witch is powerful yes but not unbeatable. I understand that she did all this. But it seems more like something she released but cannot control. And there have been few reality warpers in MU on this level that actually tried it. It s usually someone like Phoenix fixing it or Richards creating alternate universes totally separate from the 616 one. Has there ever honestly been something like this in MU. In DCU? Yes loads of times. Its like Parallax. Parallax ain't even to as close as powerful as Phoenix yet he managed to reshape all of DCU.

You're mixing up two very different things. All Legion did was travel back in time and kill Charles Xavier thus bringing about the AoA. He didn't actually physically create the AoA.

Wanda remade reality in the image she desired and it stretched beyond Earth. New Thunderbolts.

Demi I forgot about the ascension thing so I'm fence-sitting on where she stands.

No, not like that. There's a huge difference between what Legion did, which was using the M'Kraaan Crystal and what Wanda did, which was circumvent the Crystal and tearing a hole in creation.

As I keep saying, Wanda's tearing of a hole caused a chaos wave, but her power was to tear a hole in creation....OF HER OWN ACCORD. You better believe that she can do a whole hell of a lot more than just tearing a little hole. She can just unmake the whole thing just by tearing the whole thing apart, not just a hole. No chaos wave necessary.
