Who are Wanda and Vision?
The two key heroes of the Avengers, Wanda, and Vision, fight evil and protect innocents. Many of you might know Wanda from the X-Men. Then how did she appear in the MCU movies? Well, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch is a mutant. The reason she appears in both the X-Men as well as Avengers is that Disney did not own the Fox until 2019. Therefore, she appeared in Avengers as now Disney owned X-Men as well as The Avengers. She was born with specific genes that gave her superpowers. Apart from having superhuman strength, speed and stamina, she possesses the ability to control things with her mind. With the help of telekinesis, telepathy, and mind control, she can protect herself and others from the bad guys.
Whereas, Tony Stark (Iron Man), created Vision, an Android. He possesses one of the six infinity stones on his head, Mind Stone. This allowed him to have the ability of precognition, he could tell the future with super-logic. Apart from all the superhero qualities that he possesses, he can hover in the air, shoot with the energy of his mind stone as well as pass through the walls, which appears to be quite unsettling rather than useful.

However, this is where the actual plot twist comes in. Since WandaVision is not a prequel to the Avengers Infinity war, the question that bothers everyone is how come Vision is still alive?
