Warning! This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along.

Agatha all along Including the reveal that Tin is Billy Maximoff and has many questions in the process, chief among them what happened to the Maximoff twins in the MCU. The question of Joe Locke's Marvel identity has been common ever since Agatha all alongs premiere, with many theories and rumors circulating about his character. luckily, Agatha all along The end of episode 5 put an end to the rumors by confirming him as Wanda Maximoff's son, Billy Kaplan.

However, for the uninitiated with Marvel Comics, this revelation may come as a shock. The question of how Billy can be depicted as he is still WandaVisionHis ending is undoubtedly a valid one, however Agatha all along Episode 6 explains further. Like the cast of Agatha all along It continues to decrease in population, but the intrigue increases, the story of Billy and Tommy comes into full question, as well as how one or both twins are now active again in the MCU.

The tragic end of WandaVision for the Sons of Scarlet Witch explained

Wanda's twins were never real in the main MCU

Billy and Tommy Maximoff were first introduced to the MCU in 2021 WandaVision. The show centered around the titular characters living out their fantasy world through a series of sitcom episodes, although it was later revealed to be much darker in nature. Following Avengers: Endgame And her immense grief after Vision's death, Wanda traveled to the town of Westview where her synthetic partner planned to buy them a home. In an outpouring of grief and chaos magic, Wanda enveloped Westview in a hex, enslaving all the townsfolk as "cast members". In Wanda's idyllic TV show.

Midway through the show, Wanda used her magic to create two children. The children were twins named Billy and Tommy. The former was created to reveal Wanda's powers of magic, while the latter has his uncle Pietro's powers of super speed. Eventually, Agatha Harkness broke Wanda's hex by alerting the newly crowned Scarlet Witch to what she was really down to in enslaving Westview's citizens. Wanda decided to break the hex in order to free the townspeople, but it meant her dream life fell apart.

As the hex dissipated for good, Billy and Tommy disappeared as if they were just a figment of Wanda's magical powers...

The last house to leave the Hex was Wanda and Visions, who said goodbye to their children. As the hex dissipated for good, Billy and Tommy disappeared because they were just a figment of Wanda's magical powers. WandaVisionIts ending then led into the story of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Where Wanda tried to retrieve her children using the Darkhold, resulting in the MCU death of the Scarlet Witch.

As Billy is back in Agatha all along explained

The Multiverse, Marvel Comics, and other methods that could explain Billy's revival

With the revelation that Joe Locke's teen is Billy, came the burning question now is how he got back. As explored, the Billy Maximoff of WandaVision is never real. Regardless, he is part of Agatha all alongs witch coven, and the MCU may have some explanations for how he got back. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Confirmed that Billy and Tommy are real in the multiverse, with other variants of Wanda Maximoff having children. As such, the simplest explanation was always that Agatha all alongS Billy is one from another universe, but episode 6 blows that theory out of the water.

in Agatha all along Episode 6 William Kaplan and his family are shown in a car crash just outside Westview as Wanda's spell over the town comes to an end. William's mother is distracted by the witch over Westview and crashes the car into a tree, killing her son (crucially, neither she nor William's father witness his death as they rush off for help). But as William's life fails, Billy Maximoff's soul takes over his body after Wanda uncreates him and Tommy.

Billy awakens in William's body, unclear as to how this happened, but focused on one thing: Tommy. He says his brother's name when he awakens, and later confirms that he can sense his brother's presence, although not where he is. Billy then lives William's life for 3 years, before his research leads him to Agatha Harkness and Evan Peters' Ralph Bohner, who returns after his appearance in WandaVision. He also confirms that what he is looking for at the end of the witches road is Tommy, not Scarlet Witch.

So how exactly is it even possible? Could it be that Wanda used her winding magic before her death to actively preserve the souls of her children? This would raise some pretty big questions about what she then hunts for them in the multiverse. It would seem more logical that Billy and Tommy's souls persist after they are wild out of existence is accidental, and Wanda simply does not understand what she has done.

The Darkhold was a path to many dark abilities after all, but it was also incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile. Trusting something so dark to offer simple answers without caveats is a bit foolish at best. The most likely theory that explains how Billy came back actually comes from Marvel Comics. We will come to that later The other big question Agatha All Along poses is about Wanda's kids.

Where is Tommy Maximoff?!

The other Maximoff twin remains hidden

Before exploring the comic book origins of Billy and Tommy, it should be noted that the MCU has yet to give any hints about the latter. Billy's confirmation in Agatha all along Episode 5 makes Tommy's departure all the more intriguing as the MCU seemingly builds towards the Young Avengers. as of Agatha all along Episode 5's ending, it is unknown where Tommy is.

In short, we don't know where Tommy is, or even if he can be revived, because of how specific Billy's resurrection was. It could be that Tommy's soul is trapped in another dead child of the same age, in the same area, but that seems like a remarkable coincidence. That said, there are some hints from Marvel Comics that could answer this mystery, and indicate that the two twins will be reunited in the future of the MCU if the source material is to be followed.

How Marvel Comics Answers the Mystery of Billy and Tommy

It seems that the MCU is really following the comics, and revealing that Billy and Tommy are part of the live-action universe stems from the concept of reincarnated souls. In the source material, Wanda's creation of Billy and Tommy was similar to how it was presented in WandaVisionWith only one notable difference. In the former, Wanda used two lost souls to physically create the twins, something that is not mentioned in WandaVison. The devil Mephisto then claimed the souls back, only for them to escape and be reincarnated into two boys.: Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepherd.

WandaVison can be recommended to explain that Wanda used two lost souls to create Billy and Tommy, thus explaining as their reincarnation in the MCU.

Billy's reincarnated soul eventually discovers his magical powers and also finds out that his boyfriend, Teddy Altman, is a Kree-Skrull hybrid. The two tell each other about their powers and eventually join the Young Avengers. Teddy is also teased in Agatha all along Episode 2, with Teen/Billy receiving a call from someone saved in his phone as "Boy." Eventually, it is through the Young Avengers that Billy is reunited with his reincarnated twin, Tommy.

While Billy discovered his magical powers in New York, the reincarnated soul of Tommy Shepherd is doing the same in New Jersey. Tommy accidentally vaporizes his school with his super speed and is thus imprisoned and experimented on. After some time, the Young Avengers free Tommy and he joins the team as Speed. After several adventures, Billy and Tommy discover that they are the reincarnated souls of Scarlet Witch's twin, confirming their fraternal bond.

That said, Tommy is nowhere to be seen Agatha all along. This could mean that Tommy's story is set aside for an MCU future after the end of the show, potentially tying him in with the Young Avengers or Vision Quest. In a Young Avengers story, Billy could free Tommy and the missing half of Wanda's twins could be confirmed for an MCU future beyond the story of Agatha all along. This would, of course, require Billy to abandon his Witches' Road mission, though.
