THIS STORY CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."
SPOILER WARNING!
It's been a while since "WandaVision" ended, and as Doctor Strange finds out in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," Wanda has spent the intervening time studying the dangerous Darkhold and hatching her plans to exit Earth-616. One of the earlier indications of Wanda's current power level comes when she absolutely mops the floor with the combined forces of Kamar-Taj.
However, it's worth noting that it's not her destructive Scarlet Witch powers that turn the tide of the battle in her favor. Instead, she wins the fight by whipping out an old-school power that fans haven't seen since "Avengers: Age of Ultron" — mind control.
After mentally scanning the sorcerer troops, searching for a weak link, she causes panic and disarray, which she uses to break through the ranks. This Darkhold-corrupted version of the character might just be the single most powerful person the MCU has introduced, but sometimes the old bag of tricks works best.
