What about poor Pietro Maximoff?
|
That ridiculous West Coast Avengers story where he's literally selling out his beloved sister to the commies for medical experimentation was thankfully later explained in an X-Factor Annual as Pietro being under the mental control of Maximus. Comic book writers have had a tendency to be nothing short of embarrassing when it comes to addressing heroes genuinely afflicted with mental illness. They invariably turn them into murderous raving lunatics with their close friends, relatives and colleagues calling them names and trying to take them out rather than get them the medical and psychiatric help they need. Everybody inevitably comes out looking bad.
