In the above issue, Wanda travels to a mystical plane called the Witches' Road and meets her true mother, Natalya Maximoff. Both Natalya and Agatha Harkness acknowledge that Natalya, who is virtually identical to Wanda, is in fact her biological mother. For the sake of argument, let's assume Natalya Maximoff is supposed to be the same as Marya Maximoff, Django's wife.

Does this mean Wanda and Pietro actually ARE Ana and Mateo Maximoff, like Django thought back in Avengers #181-182? It used to be that

1) Magda gave birth to the twins, then wandered off to die. 2) Miss America also gave birth that night, but she and her child died. 3) Bova tried to give the twins to the Whizzer, but he fled in grief. 4) The High Evolutionary finally brought the twins down from Wundagore and gave them to the Maximoffs, who had previously lost their own twins, Ana and Mateo.

But now it seems that Wanda and Pietro were the Maximoffs children all along. Which means either

1) The Maximoffs had one set of twins, who died, then had another set of twins that were taken from them by the HE, experimented on, and then returned or 2) There were only one set of twins in the first place. The HE stole Ana and Mateo, leaving the Maximoffs to believe them dead. He experimented on them, got bored, and brought them back as a "benevolent Samaritan" to replace the twins they "lost" previously.

I'm trying to decide if this makes things more or less complicated.
