The sequel to WandaVision takes us back to Westview in Agatha All Along, furthering the magical storyline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The show introduces many new characters with unique powers, one of the most intriguing being the Teen (played by Joe Locke).
His real name and past are a mystery, even to Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn). Eager to help Agatha and show the Witches’ Road, the Teen follows her, as she’s curious about his potential.
We don’t know his name yet, as something strange always happens when he tries to share any information about himself. But there are a few hints.
A Spell Protects the Teen’s Identity
It may be odd to refer to a character as “the Teen,” but that’s really all we know about him. Many modern TV shows feature characters whose identities are kept secret until a big reveal shows them to be someone important.
For example, the Stranger in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and now, the Teen in Agatha All Along. The Marvel series drops hints early in its first two episodes.
In the second episode, titled “Circle Sewn With Fate / Unlock Thy Hidden Gate,” two unusual moments occur when the Teen tries to talk about himself. In the first instance, while at Agatha’s house, he asks to join her on the Witches’ Road journey.
Agatha asks for his name, and though he answers, his mouth becomes sewn shut when she says it. The Teen even repeats his name, with the same strange result.
Later, when driving back to Westview after recruiting witches for Agatha’s coven, the Teen speaks about his life, but Agatha only hears that he’s from Eastview before his voice fades out. She can still hear other sounds, but his voice disappears, and he doesn’t notice.
This suggests that a powerful spell is protecting the Teen’s identity. Whenever he shares information, something stops Agatha from hearing or seeing it. Even his boyfriend is simply listed as “boyf” in his contacts.
This spell is strong enough to prevent the Teen from noticing it. But who could be strong enough to cast such a spell? And why?
Is the Teen Wanda’s Son, Wiccan?
There are rumors that the Teen is Billy, Wanda Maximoff’s son, from the comics. In WandaVision, Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) creates two sons with Vision (Paul Bettany) — Tommy and Billy. Tommy is fast like his uncle Pietro, while Billy shares his mother’s reality-warping powers.
Though Wanda loses them by the end of WandaVision, her desire to bring them back drives her toward villainy in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Billy, also known as Wiccan in the comics, is one of the Young Avengers.
In the comics, Billy and Tommy are reincarnated by a demon named Mephisto after their initial creation by Wanda. Years later, they are reborn as Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepherd. Despite being born to different families, they eventually realize they are Wanda’s children.
Together, they join the Young Avengers, with Billy becoming Wiccan and Tommy becoming Speed. The MCU is hinting at a Young Avengers lineup that includes Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), Kamala Khan (Iman Velani), Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), and Eli Bradley (Elijah Richardson).
The Teen in Agatha All Along mentions being from Eastview, not Westview. This could refer to the way Wanda’s children’s souls return to the world through other families.
Additionally, the fact that a powerful spell protects him suggests that only someone with equal strength could cast it.
In the Marvel universe, no one is more powerful than the Scarlet Witch. The Teen also breaks one of Wanda’s spells by freeing Agatha, a feat that impresses her. He claims it’s because of his studies, but such power is rarely just learned — it’s often inherited.
It’s also possible that no one in Westview can hear the Teen’s name because the town’s residents refuse to acknowledge Wanda’s past. As her son, the Teen may be similarly blocked from sharing his identity.
The Teen Could Be Nicholas Scratch, Agatha’s Son
Another possibility is that the Teen could be Nicholas Scratch, a villain from the comics and Agatha’s own son.
In the first episode, “Seekest Thou The Road,” Agatha returns to her home after Wanda’s spell is broken and sees a room full of trophies and medals with Nicholas Scratch’s name on them.
In the comics, Nicholas Scratch causes trouble for Agatha many times, even going as far as selling his soul to Dormammu, one of Doctor Strange’s enemies.
The Teen appears well-studied, which would make sense if he were Agatha’s son, familiar with her ways. In the comics, Nicholas and Agatha don’t have a great relationship, as he often aligns himself with demons and villains.
If the Teen is Nicholas, he may be following the Witches’ Road to grow more powerful and exact revenge on his mother. Whoever the Teen turns out to be, he’s likely to bring more challenges for Agatha and her coven.
The WandaVision sequel, Agatha All Along, introduces a mysterious character known as the Teen. Protected by a powerful spell, his true identity remains unknown.
He may be Wiccan, Wanda’s son, or Nicholas Scratch, Agatha’s son. As the story unfolds, the Teen’s identity and intentions pose new challenges for Agatha.
The first two episodes of Agatha All Along are available to stream on Disney+, with new episodes airing every Wednesday night.
