Today, Two Marvel Characters Return From The Dead Missing Memories

I don't know, you want for ages for two mystical major Marvel characters to die, then return from the dead – but only as past versions of themselves, missing everything that has happened to them in the past fifty years of Marvel continuity, including their marriages. And then two come along at one, on the same day. Welcome to The Trial Of Magneto #3 and The Death of Doctor Strange #2. Oh, spoilers.

The Scarlet Witch, Bleeding Cool had basically predicted. We stated that, even though she was not a mutant, Cerebro had been tricked into backing her up in the Battlestar Galactica-like memory bank of mutant souls and gene samples – but only a much older version of herself.

Which is just what has happened, she has no knowledge of her children or of her marriage. But then the same thing happens to Doctor Strange who kept a back-up of himself from the sixties as well, in case of death and has no idea about anything that has happened since…

… including his own marriage to Clea.

Given that they are both teachers at the Strange Academy, that may make for some entertaining lessons where the pupils teach them about everything instead. Though for Wanda at least, she gets the telepathic cliff notes…

At least one version of her does, anyway…

She's not alone in a Krakoan highlights episode either, as Echo gets a quick update on the history of her Phoenix host past as well…

Always got to keep a tape of atrocities committed on hand, just in case.
