In September , writerSteve Orlandotook to X , answering fan questions . Orlando portion out design to give the Scarlet Witch a Darkseid point villain at some time in 2024 .
Now , thanks to an interview withAIPT , rooter screw more . Speaking to AIPT about the upcomingScarlet Witch & Quicksilver- coming February 2024 from Orlando and creative person Lorenzo Tammetta - Orlando is asked for more details on the " Darkseid level " villain and if they will be a terror to the integral multiverse ( rather than a single reality . ) In response , Orlando says :
Details would thwart it - but I can tantalise , of course ! The baddie is someone who has come out before and faced down one of Marvel ’s most iconic team . And their business leader is certainly one that touches all creation . Though the word THREAT is perhaps a issue of position - they may not cerebrate they ’re a threat , per se . But they do feel jeopardise by Pietro and Wanda .

The question about the multiverse make believe sense , as Darkseid has long been depicted as a being too complex for normal realness - his evil is so sheer and powerful that each world has its own Darkseid , with each feeding into a multiversal violence of immorality , sadism , and tyranny that is the ' dead on target ' Darkseid . It ’s a freehanded heap for Marvel to name any villain a Darkseid - level threat , as it speaks to a level of power and dream that demands pridefulness of place in the publishing house ’s cosmic power structure .
However , that ’s about the level Scarlet Witch is now operating on . Recently , Wanda devour the eldritch tome recognise as the Darkhold , and the Elder God Chthon along with it . Despite early vexation , she has get the hang the huge power of this primordial force , and is now a magic user of multiversal meaning . It make sense that a multiversal being would see her as a threat , gift she of late eat up one .
Who Is Marvel’s New Darkseid?
Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver’s Past Could Expose Returning Villain
Orlando offers fans some clues as to who Marvel ’s Darkseid will be - they ’ve appeared before , and likely look either the X - Men or Avengers . An obvious candidate is the High Evolutionary . This dimension - hopping being is obsess with creating the perfect lifeform , and has seeded and demolish entire planet in the past times . Multiversal significance would be something of anevolution for the High Evolutionary , but he ’s all about self - betterment , and has been making major moves in recent 10 - Men comics , even taking the desoxyribonucleic acid of the major power replicator Synch for study . High Evolutionary is also the soul who granted Scarlet Witch and Pietro magnate by experiment on them , so there ’s a personal connexion to work .
Another candidate is Korvac - a cosmic being who fought the Avengers and latterly render to steal Galactus ' Power Cosmic . He ’s currently divagate the Marvel Universe after Tony Stark cross his plans by awaken his empathy . There ’s also the possibility that the terror will be the Shadow King . TheShadow King is a multiversal force of evilwhich operates via a human host . of late , the Shadow King was throw up out of his traditional host Amahl Farouk , but Stefano Caselli and Jesus Aburtov ’s cover for the upcomingResurrection of Magnetoshows the twins ' begetter digit in the beings ' clasp , hinting he could be its new host .
Whichever villainScarlet Witch & Quicksilverreinvents as aDarkseidlevel terror , fan can look forwards to a major new root of power in the Marvel Universe - one that will push the powerful siblings to their limits
