Perception plays a significant role in shaping our understanding of the world around us. It is through our perception that we interpret and make sense of the various stimuli that we encounter. However, perception is not a fixed and objective process; instead, it is influenced by various factors such as our beliefs, experiences, and expectations. One fictional character that demonstrates the power of perception is Scarlet Witch from the Marvel Universe. Scarlet Witch, also known as Wanda Maximoff, possesses the ability to manipulate reality and alter people's perception of the world. This ability allows her to control how people see and experience their surroundings.
“I’m never going to feel a feeling of lacking control, of being helpless or trapped by fear.” -Wanda
Years later, to seek meaning in their lives, the twins joined the paramilitary organization known as HYDRA and agreed to undergo experiments involving the Mind Stone. The other versions of Wanda erase the Darkhold and its temptations through her Chaos Magic and the Joker s chemicals from existence, and before she could erase the Omniverse, she is realizes everything that happened.
This ability allows her to control how people see and experience their surroundings. Scarlet Witch's power over perception is exemplified in the 2015 film "Avengers: Age of Ultron" when she uses her abilities to manipulate the minds of several Avengers, creating illusions and altering their perception of reality. By doing so, she is able to influence their actions and control the outcome of events.

Biography
The Lady in Red
Although much of the Scarlet Witch’s true origins remain elusive to her thanks to manipulations by others, she can still recall her early days as a child with her twin brother Pietro. The two lived on Wundagore Mountain in Eastern Europe, believing themselves born as mutants to a Romani couple named the Maximoffs. Given the name Wanda, she lived for a short time in childish innocence until local troubles involving her parents separated her and her brother from them and forced her to hide her growing powers.
Nearing adulthood, Wanda and Pietro fell under the wing of the criminal Magneto and as the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver they joined his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Following violent clashes between the group and the heroic X-Men, the siblings struck out on their own, unhappy with their alliance with Magneto and unsure of their future. When the founding members of the Avengers disbanded, leaving Captain America to continue the team, Wanda and Pietro accepted an invitation of membership, hoping the Avengers might help them reverse their reputations as villains.
Mistress of Magic
The source of Wanda’s unnatural abilities stem from a two-fold base; unparalleled mastery of actual magic and an innate power to warp reality.
Due to exposure to mystic energies and forces at an early age, Wanda may reshape reality to various extremes. Known as a “hex” in her formative years as an Avenger, the Scarlet Witch believed she used the ability to affect probabilities for a positive benefit to herself, though at times to imprecise outcomes. Later, she mastered the ability and began to understand it as a literal altering of reality.
In addition, Wanda trained under other magicians and spellcasters to become proficient in magic-use, which manifests from incantations and spells. To this end, she has become one of the most proficient sorceresses on Earth.
Eager Enemies
Though she does not possess a quite-so specific rogues gallery as many of her fellow costumed champions, the Scarlet Witch can claim a few immediate enemies from her years with the Avengers and her own personal trials.
The powerful mutant known as Magneto subverted Wanda at an early age to not only believe herself to be a mutant, but also his daughter. Wanda eventually rebelled against the villain’s manipulations to ultimately confront him whenever encountered and act as a bulwark to his schemes. Doctor Doom, another dominant personality in Wanda’s life, desired her powers for himself, and betrayed her when she sought him out once to help her uncover missing memories. Later, Doom closeted her in his native country after a dramatic event, taking advantage of the amnesia she then suffered under and proclaiming his supposed affections for her.
The genetic genius called the High Evolutionary has also caused misery in the Scarlet Witch’s life, claiming responsibility for her abilities and confusing her further as to her and her brother’s parentage.
Loved Ones
No other person on Earth stands as close to Wanda as her brother Pietro. Though often at odds, the siblings share a deep bond, one that saw them through troubled times as children and their later years as Avengers. Pietro’s love for his sister sometimes becomes overbearing, but his protectiveness of her knows no equal and to this day they still act as a formidable duo.
The android Vision’s relationship with Wanda also exists as a tumultuous one. Perhaps the Scarlet Witch’s first and truest love, Vision weaves in and out of her life as her former husband, father of her children, confidant, and fellow Avenger. The champion called Wonder Man can also claim Wanda’s love, though not to any stable and lasting effect.
The Scarlet Witch cherishes many friendships throughout the Super Hero community and the magical world, but perhaps due to her unstable circumstances and ongoing quest for truth in her life, she has rarely formed close bonds with her fellow heroes.
Three days later, Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Red Robin were training in the Batcave and talked to Wanda (dreamwalking through Bruce)’s worsening condition. Though they all offered to help the Bat however they could, Batman rebutted that he didn't want any help and revealed that the real reason he called them was that he knew they would be the first to notice something was wrong with him and warn the other heroes, something he couldn't allow to happen. And then he surprised them by doing something they were unprepared for: pull out a pair of hidden machine guns and shoot them all dead.
The character of Scarlet Witch highlights the concept that perception is not always an accurate representation of reality. Our perception can be easily manipulated and deceived, leading us to make decisions and take actions that may not align with the truth. This idea poses interesting questions about the nature of perception and its impact on our understanding of the world. Furthermore, Scarlet Witch's ability to alter perception raises ethical and moral dilemmas. Should individuals have the power to control and manipulate other people's perception? The character's actions compel us to reflect on the potential consequences of such powers and the boundaries that should be placed on their use. In conclusion, perception is a subjective and changeable process that can be influenced by various factors. The character of Scarlet Witch from the Marvel Universe exemplifies the power of perception and its ability to shape our understanding of reality. By exploring her abilities to manipulate perception, we are prompted to reflect on the nature and limitations of our own perceptions..
