Why is Cyclops going to prison, but Scarlet Witch isn't? *AvX Spoilers*

[ZNOP]

It is good that Wanda is back, and there is going to more focus on Scott.

Your not alluding to Scott and Wanda becoming a couple -- after Emma drops Scott like a hot rock, are you?

[Whirlwind Dinamo]

He had absolutely ZERO to do with "No more mutants." That was all Wanda's uttering (retconned to being Doom's influence).
I will bet you a billion bucks there are no laws about being an accessory to reality alteration.

Avengers 616 is a mess, Quicksilver is scum, Tony Starks general jerkassery is legendary, Wanda is crazy and dangerous, Simon tried to kill everyone, the Sentry who Bendis tried to shove down our throats turned out to be one of the worst Avengers ever, Sentry is not just the worst Avenger but one of the worst written characters of all time.....and Antman is well, he's Antman. Wolverine has also become creepy Logan and one of the worst father figures ever....I mean why the hell did they make him a dad anyway?

When you've been around for centries, it's not that shocking that you might have a few kids along the way.

The fact that some of his kids ended up being pretty good characters though I think made it worth while.

Isn't the answer simply: Wanda is an Avenger. The Avengers are in charge. (?)

It's a little more complicated than that.

In the case of Cyclops, the entire planet witnessed what Cyclops did. So in that regard it wasn't really up to the Avengers whether or not Cyclops would be arrested.

In the case of Wanda, in CC really the only people around to make the call were the X-Men and the Avengers. And both teams agreed that she shoudln't go to jail.

There are times where heres have the option of sweeping what somewhat did under the carpet. And truthfully the super hero genre makes ample use of that, as heroes break the law and get mind controlled to do bad things fairly regularly. But that's not always an option. It wouldn't have been for Scott eve if they didn't want to bring him it.

[mikekerrIII]

Wow, the X-titles really went out of their way to criminalize Wanda.

Bendis did that to "fix " one of Joe Q's "genies", like every other case of that happening the results were garbage stories.

What Bendis had her do made her a villain to the mutants, you can't blame the X-writers for what the writer of the Avengers flagship did.

[Pedro Silva]

Because Wanda and Logan are Steve Rogger's house muggas.
Uncle Sam don't beat Uncle Tom.

Wanda also reversed Decimation, and the whole sad episode raised awareness of mutant issues among the superhero community. So on balance, she left the mutant species better than when she found it. Four more years....

She was let off the hook well before Hope reversed the effects of Decimation

If Captain America really does follow this code of conduct, then he's a piece of worthless trash and we're all better off in the hands of Doctor Doom

Course, Scott agreed that Wanda shouldn't go to jail too at the end of CC.

I guess that makes her one of Scott's house muggas too.

Who the hell is Hope?

And since Scott ended up doing the same thing, perhaps Utopia should have voted for Doom as their leader as well.

Latveria's still around and Utopia isn't, for what it's worth. Namor probably wouldn't have minded, since him and Doom are sort of buddies. Sort of.

Yeah but Scott didn't agreed to let her go and then went and arrested himself along with Illyana Emma Erik Namor and Piotr now did he?

It's about being a filthy hypocrite sweetheart, do pay atention

I don't recall Scott Summers going around handing out X-Men membership cards to guys who atempt to murder children while pretending to be under his watch
Among other things

Yeah, to the victor goes the morals /sarcasm

If you're talking about Wolverine, he was a member of both teams while he did that (though acting independently of both). Hell, he's been an X-Men a lot longer. In the Avengers he's just a field agent, but in the X-Men he's been teaching kids for a long long time.

So that's not the stone X-fans wanna throw from their glass house.

[Pedro Silva]

Oh honey, I already done handled all that gibberish ages ago
Going back to it just because you didn't see it is beneath me
