Agatha All Along: Is Teen Wanda's Son?

So who really is Wicca/Billy Maximoff/Billy Kaplan in Marvel Comics and the MCU?

This is where the history of Marvel Comics and the story unfolding so far in the MCU really begin to intertwine. Let's start with Marvel Comics.

In Marvel Comics lore, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Vision originally got their twin sons Billy and Tommy thanks to a deal with Mephisto – the Marvel Comics version of the devil. Mephisto attempted to bring the spirits back, but the twins' spirits overwhelmed his power thanks to the sheer strength of Wanda's magic, and eventually (years later!) their spirits found new bodies.

YOUNG AVENGERS BY HEINBERG & CHEUNG OMNIBUS (Young Avengers Omnibus)

In the first volume of Young Avengers, Billy Maximoff was reincarnated in the form of Billy Kaplan, the son of Jeff and Rebecca Kaplan (with identical appearance, powers, and personality, albeit with different parents and in a new body). Billy Kaplan looked up to the Avengers and, after a chance encounter with Wanda/Scarlet Witch, discovered that he had powers similar to hers. He initially went by the superhero name “Asgardian” before finally switching to “Wiccan”. (The reborn Tommy, now named Thomas Shepherd, would eventually become the superhero “Speed.”)

Wiccan is one of the most well-known gay characters in Marvel Comics and even eventually married his friend, the Skrull named Hulkling.

How does this fit in with what we've seen in the MCU? Good question.

Since the Billy and Tommy we've already seen (at least the ones in our main 616 universe) turned out to be a creation of Wanda's magic and her curse, it's likely that it's Billy Kaplan we're seeing Agatha all the time Either he was reincarnated in a different body, as happened in the comics, or he came from another dimension.

However, the fact that Agatha is clear white He's Wanda's son (and he seems to know it) and adds an interesting wrinkle to everything we really want to see from a logistical perspective.

Teen/Wiccan is played by Joe Locke

At just 21 years old, actor Joe Locke's career is off to a great start. So far he has only been involved in two projects, and both were acclaimed series: those from Netflix heart stopper, where he plays one of the main characters, Charlie Spring, and now Agatha all the time, where his role as a teenager/Wiccan/Billy is clearly central to everything that transpires. Coincidentally, both projects are based on acclaimed comic book titles.

Locke was born on the Isle of Man in northern Europe and has spoken on numerous gay issues in his home country and elsewhere over the years.

In addition to his on-screen roles, Locke was also a well-known theater artist; Earlier this year he played Tobias Ragg in a Broadway production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber from Fleet Street.
