Despite WandaVision's focus being squarely on Wanda's grief so far, the series' greatest victim of all is Vision, Scarlet Witch's own husband. For the most part, the pair have lived an idyllic life in the sitcom-flavored suburban neighborhood of Westview with its perfect rose bushes, friendly neighbors, and community talent shows. It's a dream come true for Wanda and Vision, who are happy in love and the parents of two exceptional boys; their life as it appears is perfect.

Yet all is not well in WandaVision's picturesque town of Westview. It's become increasingly clear, especially to Vision, that something isn't right. Their perfect world is a little too perfect but the edges aren't lining up. Small glitches in the simulation within their world have alerted the synthezoid that something has gone badly awry in their town, and all signs point back to his wife, Wanda, being the one behind it all. The townspeople defer to her, sometimes with outright fear, and those Vision has pulled out of the mind control they're seemingly under have reacted with panic and pain. They're slowly being tortured and it's hard to watch.

Yet, despite how bad things are for the townspeople, they're worse for Vision. Through the course of six episodes, he's come to suspect that the woman he loves is someone he doesn't even recognize anymore. What's more, he's starting to realize Wanda might be manipulating him just as much as their neighbors. Here's why Vision may be the greatest victim of Scarlet Witch's Hex.

Scarlet Witch Has Lied To And Manipulated Vision

Wanda and Vision Fight in WandaVision

Throughout the Avengers' movies, one of the hallmarks of the relationship between Vision and Wanda Maximoff has been honesty, even when the truth was hard to hear. Their truth with one another has never been brutal or harsh, but still, they have never kept things from each other, instead choosing to discuss them outright. The same goes with taking turns protecting each other. In from Thanos's henchmen Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive.

By now, Vision is coming to the horrifying realization that Wanda has been mind-controlling and manipulating him for a while. Once he puts the pieces together, he realizes that every single time loop and rewind, every convenient distraction that popped up just when he was about to confront Wanda have all come from his wife. Most chilling of all, when he confronted her about it, her dismissive response was worse than angry – it bordered on sinister. "No, Wanda. You can't control me the way you do them!" said Vision. "Can't I?" she asked, the threat in her voice clear.

It's terrible new knowledge for Vision, to know his own wife is manipulating him. Yet, for Vision, who, despite being a synthezoid, is perhaps the most empathetic Avenger of all, it's even worse when he tells her that she's hurting the townspeople and she doesn't seem to care. Suddenly, he's living with a complete stranger and he doesn't even understand enough about what's going on to know whether or not he – and their twin boys, Billy and Tommy – are in real danger.

Wanda Violated One Of Vision's Fundamental Personal Requests

In episode 5, "On a Very Special Episode..." it's revealed that Vision's corpse had been kept in a SWORD facility after killed by Thanos during Infinity War. However, nine days prior, Wanda had broken into the facility and stolen Vision's body then resurrected him. It was clearly an act of grief, with Wanda desperate to regain the one she loved after his death. As Agent Jimmy Woo pointed out, however, it was a violation of Section 36b of the Sokovia Accords, with SWORD's Director Hayward adding it was also a violation of Vision's own living will. "He didn't want to be anybody's weapon," Jimmy realized.

Wanda's act was a dual-fold betrayal of Vision. First, she disregarded his personal wishes regarding his own body upon his death, an act of removing his bodily autonomy and consent even after he made his intentions expressly clear in his living will. Ever the empathetic but logical synthezoid, he was aware of how powerful and rare he was and did not want himself falling into the wrong hands.

It was also a betrayal of Vision's wishes regarding how he saw his role as an Avenger and protector of humanity. Vision was on Iron Man's team during the events of sign the Sokovia Accords and to agree to abide by them. Vision's choice wasn't driven by a sense of guilt, like Tony Stark, nor of playing politics, like Natasha Romanoff, but of thinking it through and arriving at the conclusion that g the contract was truly the right thing to do to protect humans. Wanda violating the Accords without his consent is a double betrayal.

Worst of all, while Vision knows Wanda is controlling the town, he doesn't yet know – not fully, anyway – of his death. He certainly doesn't know she stole his body and resurrected him. That particularly brutal reveal hasn't arrived yet, but it will, and when it does, it will be utterly devastating for the sensitive synthezoid.

Vision Still Has No Idea Why Wanda Is Doing This

This leads to the hardest part: Vision still has no idea why Scarlet Witch is doing this. All he knows is that his loving and near-perfect wife has lied to him on the way to becoming controlling, insanely powerful, manipulative, and even seemingly cruel. He finally exploded on Wanda and yelled that he couldn't anything about his life before Westview and that he was scared, but the truth of his past is devastating. There are three major pieces of his life that have yet to be revealed or, at least, confirmed to him and any one of them is on the level of a betrayal worthy of shattering a relationship down to its foundations: 1. He's dead. 2. Wanda stole his body to resurrect him. 3. Her Hex is the only thing keeping him alive.

Finding out he'll lose his marriage, his boys, and his life if he steps outside Scarlet Witch's manipulated fake reality is a lot for anyone to handle, even a synthezoid with a computer brain. There are three episodes of WandaVision left, and eventually, Vision will learn the truth about himself and his fake world. Heartbreak of an incomprehensible sort is heading his way, and while the show has done an excellent job of focusing on Wanda's grief, it may want to start paying attention to Vision, too. A reckoning is coming, but because he's in the dark, he just may be the one hurt most by Wanda's actions by the time the final curtain closes.
