"The memory of my tenure as ruler of the world was expunged along with my reign itself. That I recall it at all can, again, can be placed at the feet of magic."

"Doctor Strange stepped in when Wanda cast her spell, and did his best to stop it. That is why the majority of the X-Men on my world retained their mutant gifts...and those of us who were there retain our memories of that reality. However, he was only fighting half the battle...he could fight my daughter's magic on its own terms, but he had no defense against her mutant power. He could mitigate the damage, but not completely cancel it out...I wonder if anything could."
