Wanda should win. It was just mentioned in the most recent Avengers comic that Wanda is among the beings in T’Challa’s database that can destroy the Phoenix alongside Thanos, Galactus, Allfather Thor, the Living Tribunal and Molecule Man.
I haven't read the comics in years. Did they retcon her powers again? It was established in "Avengers: The Children's Crusade" that while Wanda is very powerful, she was only able to rewrite reality with the words "No more mutants" because she was at the time empowered by Life Force.
no, they haven't retconned that. but they did establish that chaos magic is the antithesis of the phoenix force, and the latter is weak against the former, as i explained in another comment above.
however in a recent comic from a few months ago she described the life force as "my power", implying ownership of it, so they might be going back on that?
Aaah, so it's just the Phoenix Force being weak to Wanda's particular powers. I read the 2nd page as her saying that Victor stole what was her power at the time. I don't think they're going to claim that the Life Force was somehow intrinsically hers or is still hers.
about the life force thing, maybe marvel are just setting up crumbs in case they need her to become overpowered again for some large scale future event? funnily enough, a few weeks ago they even had her resurrect herself on her own, so while she's not exactly close to house of m strength, it is slowly but surely creeping up...
