I wouldn't call any of the above retcons as retcons tend to completely replace what happened before (IE: All the reboots of Superman's origins). If anything these are just deceptions that have come to light. If you look back on their history, there is a lot in question as to the Maximoff twins. Their parentage has always been in question and these new revelations just add to what is already there, as opposed to ignoring it like it never happened. In essence, it doesn't negate the periods of time when they thought their parents were X, Y and Z.

At the end of the day, the twins have always had an air of mystery about their past.

Even their powers have always been suspect. If you go back to their early appearances in Avengers, there was a point they took a leave of absence because their powers were fading and they thought they needed to go back to Transia because they believed their powers were somehow linked to the place.

Also, Wanda's powers being mutant or mystical in nature has always been in question, particularly during an Avengers run in the early 80s when they made a connection between her powers and the demon Chthon.

(The issue numbers escape me at the moment)

The reveal that Magneto and Magda are not their parents is just a variation on the Whizzer/Miss America parentage story.

... But yeah, getting to what Monolith is saying, this puts a lot of question into the whole Magda situation.

As I understand it, Magda discovered that she was pregnant and fled to Wundagore Mountain, supposedly gave birth and then fled into the mountains, never to be seen again, because she went fruit loops after giving birth. (You are right about the grave being ceremonial. It popped up in some of the 90s X-Men books)

However, I'm of the mind that if there's no body, you can't conclusively say that she is dead. Allegedly dead, sure, but definitively? Possibly, possibly not? That's the magic of fiction. In all honesty, Magneto hasn't really bothered looking to find out what happened to Magda (Even going so far as to erase all record of her on Asteroid M during an early period of Claremont's X-Men run)

Was she really pregnant? Did she end up on Wundagore? Did she give birth? Did she die? These are all interesting questions. The only one who has presented anything is Bova -- vis-a-vie what the High Evolutionary told her. Which, given the Evolutionary's many deceptions over the years, his credibility is not that great.

What really happened to Magda would be an interesting story to say the least.
