A loose adaptation of the Avengers vs. X-Men Marvel Comics storyline adapted into the MCU with their versions of the characters: With Wanda Maximoff's powers out of control, especially when she resurrects her brother Pietro, Tony Stark, Vision, Steve Rogers, and Natasha Romanoff, a conflict between the Avengers and X-Men arise. The Avengers believe she can control them with proper training while the X-Men believe she needs needs to be contained until her powers are brought under control. This leads into a confrontation between the two teams, and things only get worse when the Brotherhood of Mutants get involved after their leader, Magneto, learns of his son's resurrection, his daughter's powers, and the man responsible for making them orphans to begin with has returned. An all-out war begins between the two hero factions while Wanda does her best to keep her powers under control to prevent a chatastrophic event that'll change their universe forever.
