12. Stan Lee’s Intentions Behind Her Creation

We’ll start off with something that is kind of obvious for most people who follow the comic books. But Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Both comic book legends have been responsible for the creation of much of the successful franchises in the history of comic books that have become blockbuster movies. Those characters are Thor, X-Men, Hulk, Iron-Man, and Fantastic-Four. The Scarlet Witch character is in select company.

“I remember that I liked (Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch) very much and I thought it would be fun to have villains who aren’t really bad deep down,” Lee told Comics Creators On X-Men. “We already had a reluctant hero with Spider-Man so I thought it would be fun to create a pair of reluctant villains.”

“I had big plans for Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch. I wanted them to eventually give up being villains and become heroes. That’s why I used them in Avengers after I left X-Men.”
