Wanda Maximoff (aka the Scarlet Witch) is considered one of the MCU's most powerful Avengers by hardcore fans. While she lacks the physical strength of superheroes like the Hulk, her reality-bending abilities are the most potent collection of talents ever seen in
Marvel comics.
In the comic books, many of the Scarlet Witch's stories show how dangerous she can be. Her abilities have not only grown over time, but she has also developed new ones. She did some good things, but she also did some heinous things that harm others. She is so hazardous that she is classified as one of the world's most powerful omega-level mutants.
Here is a taste of some of the craziest things Scarlet Witch has done in Marvel comics.
#1 Wipe out an entire population - "No More Mutants."

"No more mutants" Three few words altered the Marvel Universe forever. All mutants on Earth were de-powered, with the exception of a few hundred X-folks. It's the first time a genocide has taken place without any mass deaths.
#2 Warp reality to give everyone the life they desired

Wanda accomplished the impossible during Marvel's House of M event. She ensured that everyone had the life they desired. Mutants were not condemned but rather celebrated for their genetic abilities. It was all a lie, though. Wanda transformed the whole reality of Earth with her mind.

Wanda lost control of everything when being awakened memories that Agatha Harkness had erased. The Kree attacked, and it wasn't until Hawkeye and Ant-Man died that they understood it was Wanda's illusion. Both of those heroes died in the end, as did Jack of Hearts, and the Avengers disbanded as a result of the treachery.
#6 Kill her own mentor and the person who always helped her
