Who decided Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were Magnetos children? Was it implied all the way back when Stan was writing X-MEN?
JB: That was my idea, tho I will admit it was rereading some old Stan and Jack issues that made the lightbulb go on over my head. It was never explicitly stated in those earlier stories, but it sure seemed to make a lot of stuff fall into place once I had the idea. (11/2/97) If I remember correctly (and I may not be) it was STATED in the first Scarlet Witch and Vision miniseries. But back when you did X-Men I believe we first saw an image of Magneto’s wife, who looked similar to Wanda. JB: Yeah, Wanda and Pietro were “outed” as Magneto’s kids in that mini — something I never wanted to see happen. It was one of the first instances of Marvel blowing one of its “open secrets” — things the fans knew, but which had never been stated outright — but, sadly, far from the last.
