It seems that she is still having deep remorse over causing The Avengers team to scatter before she was forced into a deep sleep by Xavier, who expresses doubts on how long she can be contained to her father Magneto. The Avengers and other heroes have gathered to decide her fate and the majority have decided to eliminate her. Though, the majority of the crowd decided to end her life for the sake of world, Captain America asks them to look for an alternate solution that doesn't need killing her.

Wolverine steps up to volunteer for the job as no one else has the guts to do it. Others are worried about if the words of her insanity gets out on public, the existing human-mutant relationship will set back to ages. To save his sister from execution, a desperate Quicksilver begs his father to save Wanda from the crowd but got denied. As the heroes were looking for Wanda to ask for her decision over the matter, suddenly they all started vanishing into a blinding white light.

When the light is gone, everyone else discovers them in a new world with no memory of the previous event and a reality that they all desired. Spider-Man finds himself married to Gwen Stacy and Uncle Ben is alive too. Hawkeye is still alive here and works for underworld boss Luke Cage. The X-Men or The Avengers doesn't even exist and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s in-charge Wolverine has noticed this change of reality. Mystique has two kids; Rogue and Nightcrawler and currently in an affair with Logan. On top of everything, this new world is ruled by Mutants, not humans.

Wolverine goes on an investigation to get some answers and is captured by Luke Cage. He recalls how Wanda's psychic breakdown took the life of Ant-Man, Hawkeye, Jack of Hearts and Vision, then destroyed The Avengers. The folks present there believes his theory because apparently, a mutant girl named Layla Miller can show them the reality. Rest of the heroes of this world is assembled and awakened from their illusion to confront Magneto and finally end this falsehood forever.

Houseof M – Spider-Man, Fantastic Four & X-Men

"House of M" is a follow-up crossover event that carried out the effects of "Planet X" and "Avengers Disassembled" by Marvel Comics. The main limited series published on 2005, featuring the titled story was written by Brian Michael Bendis (Age of Ultron, Civil War II), who was assisted by artist Olivier Coipel (Avengers Vs. X-Men, Siege) for its eight issue run. Bendis' work on this event would leave a mark and will cause effect to many crossovers in the upcoming years for sure.

Scarlet Witch's Shattered Reality

During the course of action a similar alternate reality was created for a brief time in the manner of “The Age of Apocalypse” crossover which depicted a parallel universe. Regular monthly ongoing titles like Excalibur, New X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine, as well as several limited series like Fantastic Four – House of M, Iron-Man – House of M, Mutopia X – House of M and Spider-Man – House of M had acted as tie-ins for the event. Following the end of the event, everything was reverted back to normal as it were but the mutant population of the world is reduced to a hundred and few.
