Despite his best efforts, Wanda and Pietro were trapped until rescued by Magneto.


One day Wanda accidentally set a house on fire, spurring the locals to attack the twins. Orphaned, the twins wandered Eastern Europe, constantly on the move as Wanda’s uncontrollable hex powers would draw suspicion from the people around them. Using his new found powers, Pietro was able to rescue Wanda. Poor but loved, the twins enjoyed a relatively happy childhood until their family was killed by local villagers angered at Django for stealing food. He did not accept them, but thought that they were his children. While at Wundagore Mountain, they were also offered for adoption to the Whizzer when his wife died. Given her weakened state following delivery, it is assumed that she perished. She then immediately fled into a raging blizzard and was never seen or heard from again. She appeared at the house of Bova, the midwife to the High Evolutionary, heavily pregnant and stayed for a few weeks until she gave birth. In fact, they were born on Wundergore Mountain to a woman only known as Magda, a woman on the run from her husband who had “become a monster”. They did not know that they had been adopted. Pietro and his twin sister, Wanda always assumed that they were the children of the gypsy couple that raised them, Django and Marya Maximoff.
