“Tin” is Nicholas Krats
Agatha all along may have provided the answer for Tin’s identity
The most pressing mystery sets up in the first two episodes of Agatha all along is easily the identity of John Locke’s character, simply referred to as “Tin” by the credits. The suspicious god Tin is the one who helps Agatha break the illusion of the true crime-style procedural drama she’s trapped in at the beginning of the show, and wants to join her on the journey to the Witches’ Road . Agatha seems to be under the influence of some spell that hides Tin’s identity from herWith his name and background magically censor himself.
It is very possible that Tin is Nicholas himself, having found his way back to his mother (perhaps unknowingly) through some convoluted magical circumstance.
One of the most glaring possibilities for Tin’s true identity was already revealed in the first episodes. It is revealed that Agatha has a long-lost or dead son named Nicholas ScratchA character that exists in the original Marvel comics. It is very possible that Tin is Nicholas himself, having found his way back to his mother (perhaps unknowingly) through some convoluted magical circumstance.

“Tin” is Billy Kaplan
Wiccan is the more likely candidate for Tin’s true backstory
As compelling as Nicholas Scratch is as the true identity of Tin, an arguably much stronger case can be made for Billy Kaplan, also Wiccan. Billy Kaplan is the son of Scarlet Witchwho, in both the MCU and the comics, inherits his mother’s ability for arcane power. Tin actually being Billy is almost an open secret among Agatha all along viewers, with some convincing pieces of evidence supporting the theory.

For one, Tin mentions being interested in being able to use magic”To blow, to shield, to levitate,” almost exactly describing Wiccan’s power in the comics. But the real smoking gun Connecting Tin to Billy is his admission that his mother was the reason Agatha was freed from her illusionWith Wanda’s destruction along the Darkhold meaning that Agatha’s false reality is no longer maintained by its caster. Marvel’s own mistakes in keeping the secret all but confirm this theory, with Locke being credited as Billy in trailer subtitles (via comicbookmovie.com).

Agatha is aware of Doctor Strange and America Chavez’s activities
The “cause” of Wanda’s death may be reflected in her illusion
A lot can be inferred from the details of the police procedural Agatha is trapped in at the beginning of her self-titled series. Come across A case whose victim is obviously representative of Scarlet WitchAgatha’s false reality is able to crumble after the collapse of Wanda and the Darkhold’s influence. The illusion seems to explain this in a way that fits into the narrative of the show-within-a-show, coming up with a key piece of evidence, a book titled Dialogue and Rhetoric: Eminent History of Learning and DebateAn anagram for “darkhold.”
It seems as if the illusion may also be intimately aware of the two men who set in motion the chain of events that lead to Wanda’s death. as a detective, Agatha is aware of two “perps” who may be connected to the crimeBut seem to have gotten away at the scene of a car crash. The “perps” could be none other than Doctor Strange and America Chavez, whose activities after the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness May now be known to Agatha.

Agatha is still in another illusion
The perfect mid-season twist Agatha all along could pull off
Over the course of two episodes, Agatha is completely freed from the true crime illusion Wanda trapped her inAllow her to remember who she is and reevaluate her situation. It is also revealed that this false reality is unique to her, with the other residents of Westview tolerating what they thought were troubling hallucinations Agatha suffered. However, this logic calls into question whether Agatha is truly existing in the real world now.
The citizens of Westview are revealed to fully remember the horrifying (from their perspective) events of windovision, Agatha’s neighbor John told her that they would rather not even mention Wanda by name. If this is the case, one would think the Westview residents would be much more aware and sympathetic to the possibility that Agatha is trapped in a lingering version of the same illusion that controls their lives. This can Perhaps point to a “matrix-within-a-matrix” situationMeaning Agatha has yet to actually emerge in reality.

Agatha all along will revive Scarlet Witch
The witches way could lead to Wanda’s return
The possibility of Scarlet Witch’s resurrection is certainly not off the table Agatha all alongAnd It could easily be the show’s biggest impact on the MCU. in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda Maximoff voluntarily gives her life to destroy the Darkhold, collapsing beneath the ruins of Mount Vungador and the Darkhold Castle. These events were reflected in Agatha’s hallucination, with Wanda turning out to be a murder victim in the crime drama.

As Agatha begins her journey to restore her powers, it is possible that the Witches’ Road could revive Scarlet Witch. The path provides a harrowing set of trials that promises to reward any witch who successfully survives the journey with “what they’re missing.” If Tin really is Billy Kaplan, “what he’s missing” could very easily translate to his deceased motherBring the Scarlet Witch back to life in the MCU. Considering the story of​​​​​​​​​The Witches Road as a demiplane that connects the worlds of the living and the dead together in the comics, this theory is very palpable.

Agatha all along will introduce Mephisto to the MCU
One of the biggest missing villains from the comics could see a in the series
Of all the powerful Marvel Comics villains to never be introduced to the MCU, the demon lord Mephisto might just be the most glaring example. Essentially the Marvel equivalent to the devil himselfMephisto is a hellish entity responsible for some of the most tragic events in the comics, such as the creation of Ghost Rider and the Green Goblin. with Agatha all along With the supernatural side of the MCU more fully explored than ever before, Mephisto could finally be canonized in the franchise.
Specifically, the presence of Nicholas Scratch, even as a missing figure in Agatha’s life, legitimizes the possibility of Mephisto’s existence in the MCU. In the comics, after being resurrected by the Salem Seven, Nicholas swears allegiance to the insidious being after being banished to Hell itself, where Mephisto normally resides. If Nicholas Scratch ever appears as the series continues, he could be the perfect avenue to finally introduce Mephisto to the MCU.

The Witches Way is a reflection of Agatha’s psyche
The MCU may have a much different plan for the important location
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has never been particularly against making drastic changes to the comics when the story allowed it, and their presentation of the Witches’ Road could be the next great example of this. One theory relates the presence of the mysterious “Teen” who helps Agatha break free from her illusion to the Witches’ Road in a mind-blowing wayPostulating that both are actually figments of Agatha’s subconscious. This misdirect would be a great reflection of the similarly ground-breaking revelations made in WandaVision.

Agatha did not need Tin’s help in breaking the spell placed on her, which faded naturally after the death of the Scarlet Witch. instead, Tin and Agatha’s journeys on Witches Road are magical creations of her own subconsciousSet a journey in which Agatha learns to give up the power she was chasing to protect the real teen (read: Billy) instead. The short scene in which Tin is seen casting powerful spells in the future may relate to Wiccan becoming a powerful being called “The Demiurge” in the comics, something other less compassionate witches will want to take advantage of.

Rio Vidal is Victoria Montesi
Tin might not be the only Marvel Comics character to be cast as an original role
One of the other obvious mysteries set up in the first two episodes of Agatha all along is the backstory of Rio Vidal, Aubrey Plaza’s character. Rio Vidal is seemingly an original creation of the MCU, referred to as a “Green Witch” With some connection to Agatha’s past, possibly as an old romantic flame. however, WandaVision Previously pulled the trick of introducing an original character only to reveal them as a magic-user from the comics with Agatha herself, meaning Rio Vidal could only be an alias.
There are several tantalizing options that could reveal the true identity of Rio Vidal, but HHe most convincing can only be Victoria Montesi. In the comics, Victoria Montesi was born to a long line of priests with a unique immunity to the corruption of ​​the Darkhold, although Victoria in particular is also tinged with the blood of the demon Cthon, who resides in the evil Tome. . It is possible that the apparent destruction of the Darkhold has heavy implications for Victoria Montesi, moonlighting as Rio Vidal in her search for answers.

Agatha all along will tease Doctor Doom’s mother
Mephisto isn’t the only important Marvel character the series could introduce
Should Mephisto truly be inducted into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Agatha all the same, Another powerful witch relevant to upcoming films may also be introduced along with him.

Billy and Tommy’s souls are trapped in the Darkhold
The pages of the Darkhold could explain Billy and Tommy’s return
If the teen is truly Billy Kaplan, that would mean that Billy (and Tommy), or at least some versions of them, were somehow able to return to the main MCU timeline despite their apparent destruction at the end of WandaVision. While the multiverse may be an easy explanation for this, a much more interesting answer may lie within the pages of the Darkhold itself. It is very possible that When Billy and Tommy first disappeared, they didn’t die, but instead their souls sucked into the nefarious spellbook..
This could be contained Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, In which Scarlet Witch hears the voices of what she thinks are the Earth-838 versions of her children crying for her. In fact, those could have been the screams of her original Billy and Tommy, trapped in the Darkhold. The subsequent destruction of the Darkhold may have released Billy and Tommy’s souls back in time, resulting in the teenage Billy Kaplan introduced in Agatha all along.
