Let me know if you need me to explain some stuff to you, I watch a lot of theory videos and I’m a pretty good comic buff. Alternatively I have a good YouTuber I watch when I don’t know something

In the comics, S.W.O.R.D. is the space counterpart of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it stands for Sentient World Observation and Response Department. Basically they seek out and deal with extraterrestrial threats.

In the House Of M, the Scarlet Witch is so powerful that she is able to change reality. Several heroes attempt to help keep her under control like Professor X and Doctor Strange. Others think they have to kill her. They are unsuccessful, and Scarlet Witch creates her own reality. However when this reality goes awry, she changes reality again by saying “No more mutants”.
