InCivil War, we will meet a Wanda Maximoff who is still struggling to come to grips with her superpowers. She is fine-tuning her mystical red energy waves, trying to figure out how to use them without hurting innocent bystanders.

Because of this, she has no choice but to resist Iron Man and join Team Cap.
