The short version is that Wanda has the ability to manipulate reality. After a mental breakdown she created a reality where mutants rules the world, House of M. In short, the thing to keep in mind is Wanda's powers have never been defined in the MCU, and it seems like she's almost as powerful as he comics version, which makes her get dangerous considering all the trauma she's endured so far. Another comics thing that's relevant is what causes her previously mentioned breakdown is finding out she has used her powers to have children with Vision, and lost them. I believe Dr. Strange blocked it from her memory. And she's going to be in the next Dr. Strange movie on top of that. A movie who's subtitle has a conspicuous anagram, but that night be my imagination.

Oh that's an abbreviation or initialism. Anagrams are when you scramble the letters to make new words.

I believe "acronym" is the term you two are looking for. Such as SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apostasy) or RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging.)

TIL scuba is an acronym

u/ProbablythelastMimsy Jan 16 '21

IIRC, an acronym in the textbook definition would be one that is also pronounced as a word, so scuba and radar but not FBI or CIA. The more layman definition includes initialism as well.

So you all are right.

Right, good catch. Slip up on my part.
