Exploring the Dynamics of Wanda's Vision: Identity, Memories, and the Future

In the WandaVision series, one of the most intriguing plot points revolves around the character of White Vision and his recovered memories from another Vision. If White Vision had regained his memories, could Wanda have lived with him after eliminating the version she created? This question opens a fascinating discussion about identity and memory in the Marvel universe. Let's delve into the complex web of WandaVision to understand the dynamics at play.

Recovering Memories and Identity

When the original Vision was resurrected in WandaVision, he regained his memories and became a different person altogether. Wanda, on the other hand, is not aware of this change. This separation raises the question of what would have happened if White Vision had also regained his memories.

Imagine if White Vision had all the memories he was previously devoid of. These memories wouldn’t make him the original Vision since they are pieces of another being. White Vision is a blank slate—a new entity with no preconceived notions or personality traits. His memories are data, not an integral part of his being. This disconnect is a crucial point to consider:

He is not the true Vision: If White Vision had received these memories, he would not be the authentic Vision who had the personality traits of Iron Man (Stark), Hulk (Banner), J.A.R.V.I.S., and Ultron, expressed through the Mind Stone. These traits were merged into Vision’s character and would form a part of his identity. No inherent identity: Since White Vision lacks the Mind Stone and the embedded traits of the other characters, his memories would be external data, not his own identity. As a result, the memories would shift the way he thinks, but they wouldn’t wholly define him.

The Argument of Wanda's Vision

Wanda’s Vision made a strong argument for why she should live with the original Vision. She believed that neither of them is the true original, as both are pieces held together. White Vision is essentially a clean slate, while the original Vision has a complex amalgamation of traits and experiences.

Therefore, a merger would not create a perfect, whole person. It would simply amalgamate pieces of a whole into a stranger. The original Vision feels more like home, as he is a part of Wanda’s past—a shared experience and identity.

Future Possibilities

Marvel has not explicitly addressed whether White Vision would have been a viable option for Wanda. However, if he had memories, it’s plausible that Wanda would have been tempted to reshape him into the version of Vision she knew. Yet, such an act would be a lie, a partial resurrection based on what Wanda remembers, not the full extent of Vision’s essence.

Without proper knowledge of her magic and guidance, this could be dangerous:

Lack of full magic knowledge: Wanda still has not mastered her magic fully, and a partial resurrection might backfire. Guidance scarcity: Without guidance, this manipulation could lead to unforeseen consequences.

White Vision’s Exit

The original Vision left towards the end of WandaVision, not just for Westview Vision but also for their children. It was a complex decision, likely driven by a desire to give Wanda space to grieve. White Vision, too, might need a similar period of separation to incorporate his memories into his identity:

Time for self-reflection: He needs to understand how the memories affect his identity and change his perspective. Respectful withdrawal: He might believe that giving Wanda space is the kind thing to do, showing respect during a difficult time.

Conclusion and Speculation

The fate of White Vision remains uncertain. Marvel has not addressed this in any of the upcoming movies or series. However, it is clear that his memories, while important, do not define him entirely. White Vision is a character who needs time to find his own path—much like the other characters he encounters in the Marvel universe.

As the universe unfolds, it’s likely that we will see more stories involving White Vision, exploring his journey and identity. His memories might shape him, but his true identity is yet to be discovered.
