This November, Marvel’s greatest mystical hero (sorry Strange!) gets a brand new protege in the form of Amaranth!

Created by artist Jen Bartel for last year’s New Champions variant cover program, Amaranth will make her in-universe debut in SCARLET WITCH #6 from Steve Orlando and artist Lorenzo Tammetta.  She will be introduced as a former protégé of Agatha Harkness who now seeks Wanda’s help to unravel her shadowy past and control her emerging magical gifts.

Speaking about the announcement, Orlando said “Ever since she debuted in Jen Bartel’s gorgeous variant cover, I’ve been intrigued by Amaranth. Who was she? What was her story–no, her mystery? So, when the chance came to bring her into SCARLET WITCH and explore those questions with the rest of the creative team, I leapt.”

He continued, adding “Bringing Amaranth through the Last Door gives us a chance to upend Wanda’s dynamic with a scenario where Wanda’s faced with a powerful, mysterious being she struggles to figure out–an inverse of her own dynamic earlier in her life. Amaranth’s unique gifts hint towards an auspicious parentage and impressive power, but her life has been tinged with tragedy. There might be no one in the Marvel Universe that can help her, but if there was one–it would be the Scarlet Witch.”
