Their first key series together was published in the beginning of November 1982 which contained four issues. The limited series was written by Bill Mantlo and pencilled by Rick Leonardi.[1] In this series, the villain Magneto is retconned as the father of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver while intending to give up his villainous ways of life.[2] The reveal had some previous clues which were released during Avengers and X-Men titles. This stayed as comic book canon for many decades until it was undone in the 2014 crossover storyline AXIS.[3]
The second series which lasted twelve issues was published in 1985 and was written by Steve Englehart.[4] In this series, Scarlet Witch becomes pregnant magically and delivers two sons.[4] Englehart tried to keep the series self-contained and made the characters resign from the Avengers.[5] He also omitted the theme of racism towards mutants, considering that it was already dealt with in the X-Men titles.[5] The series was focused on family drama rather than superhero exploits. Magic was also a common topic but was toned down in comparison with Englehart's run on Doctor Strange.[5] Englehart lamented that Scarlet Witch's motherhood did not stick, as the children were killed shortly after he ended writing the character.[6]
