Details

First appearance: (in flashback: Head Like A Hole)

Erik Lehnsherr	In the 1970s, Erik returned to Europe to find his roots, marrying a Rom woman, Magda. In 1976, Magda bore Erik children, Wanda and Pietro. However, shortly thereafter during a riot, Erik's mutant powers of magnetism fully emerged and, thinking his wife and children dead, he lashed out, killing many of the rioters. For further details, see his individual page. PB: Ian McKellen
Magda Maximoff - deceased	Was leader of the clan. She met and married Erik and bore him two children in 1976, a boy and a girl. However, shortly thereafter during a riot, Erik's mutant powers of magnetism fully emerged and, thinking his wife and children dead, he lashed out, killing many of the rioters. Horrified by what her husband had become, Magda fled with the children to her Romani clan, where Erik could not find her. Magda passed away as the result of an aneurysm caused by the Great Headache in May 2003. PB: None.
Pietro Maximoff	Twin brother to Wanda, Pietro initially joined their father's Brotherhood of Mutants, but became disillusioned after X2. He became a double agent, working with the X-Men, until his cover was blown and he had to flee. For further details, see his individual page. PB: Til Schweiger
Wanda Maximoff	Twin sister to Pietro, Wanda remained with her mother and the clan while her brother sought out their father. Her path eventually lead to the X-Men and an ucomfortable reunion with her brother, before she joined with X-Force. For further details, see her individual page. PB: Carrie-Anne Moss

Other family members include:

• Django Wanda and Pietro's uncle, Django was instrumental in raising them, attempting to fill the role of father figure in particular for Pietro.

• Hanzi Hanzi is one of Wanda's cousins - a few years back he had traveled with his father to visit Wanda in Cambridge and had managed to become quite smitten with a local girl. He turned to Wanda for help in convincing Django to let him leave the caravan; despite his unease at once more losing a family member to a world that wasn't Rom, he finally caved from much pressure from Wanda. She then helped Hanzi settle in the area and secured a job as a security guard at Agatha's museum for him. A good man, if a bit superstitious at times, he and his wife have been living a fairly peaceful and nondescript lives.

• Like the Szardos Clan, the Maximoffs have a large extended family of relatives, who are all vocal about how the clan should run.
