Things are a little more ruthless in this reality than in the original House of M world - now it seems almost no humans have a place in this world, most have been wiped out. And it’s more or less the same world as before, with Magneto ruling the land with an iron grip, or at least, the portion of the world he’s been given by “God Emperor Doom”.
Now, as part of the current Secret Wars, the world created in House of M has been reborn as one of the realms in Battleworld. This new Secret Wars series doesn’t have the involvement of the original creators, and instead comes from the creative team of Dennis Hopeless ( Spider-Woman) and pencils from Marco Fialla. One can make a solid argument that the original House of M series is what propelled him to A-list artist status. The original series was written by superstar Marvel scribe Brian Michael Bendis and drawn by Olivier Coipel, then a relative newcomer to mainstream comics. But not before the Scarlet Witch gets rid of 99% of the mutants in the world, or at least their powers. Eventually, the characters start to see cracks in the created world, and reality reverts to the way we know it by the end. In this newly created reality, Scarlet Witch’s father Magneto rules a mutant-run world, where she and her siblings serve as royalty and most humans are second class citizens–except certain human Avengers, some of who are bigger celebrities than ever, as long as they are all willing to tow the line of Magneto’s rule.
Scarlet Witch’s brother Quicksilver convinces her that the Avengers and X-Men plan to kill her, and she uses her nearly infinite reality-altering powers to create a world where everyone in that room, Avenger and X-Man alike, gets whatever their fondest desire is. For those of you who might not remember, or weren’t reading comics back in the 2005, House of M was about how the Avengers and the X-Men got together to try and solve their “Scarlet Witch problem” (basically, the problem was that she was both super crazy and super powerful at this point in time). It seems crazy to say it, but it’s been a whole ten years since Marvel’s House of M event mini-series rocked the Marvel Universe.
