Subject
Description: The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become increasingly popular over these past few years. At this point these heroes are shown doing more than just fighting villains and catching bad guys, you are able to see them as normal humans with everyday problems. Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch), who I will be analyzing, has a lot of grief and trauma from losing her parents, brother, partner, and her kids. All those things influence how she performs as a hero and how people view her. These superheroes have power, whether that be their superpowers, mental strength, or their status alongside their teammates. I have found research papers discussing the different forms of power and used them to analyze Wanda. Through all of the movies and tv shows that she has been a part of I gathered evidence on how she uses these powers and how it shapes her character. Keywords: MCU, Wanda Maximoff, power: social, mental, and physical, loss, grief, trauma, social hierarchy, relationships, Honors Thesis Advisor : Dr. Mark G. Aune, PhD.
