All that fuss about who is Teen in ‘Agatha All Along’ is finally solved. He was confirmed to be Billy Kaplan, a sorcerer and reincarnation of one of Wanda’s twin sons. Billy joins Agatha Harkness on The Witches’ Road, seeking to reunite with his brother Tommy. But how did Billy Maximoff turn into Wiccan? Here’s all you need to know:
Who is Billy Maximoff?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe introduced the young version of Billy Maximoff in WandaVision, where Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) mysteriously gives birth to twins Tommy and Billy Maximoff. The siblings witness an accelerated childhood owing to Wanda’s magic, where they transform themselves into 10-year-olds instantly.
While Billy inherits Wanda’s chaos magic, Tommy takes after his late uncle Pietro’s superhuman speed. They live together as a happy family in Wanda’s reality-altering chaos magic along with their father Vision. Wanda soon realizes it is impossible to force the entire town of Westview to live out her fantasy and the series ends with her putting Tommy and Billy to bed, and undoing the magical hex that controlled the town.
The twins dissolve in the climax along with their father because they couldn’t exist in reality without Wanda’s magic.
How Billy Maximoff becomes Teen aka Wiccan?
Agatha All Along, a spinoff show of WandaVision, recently confirmed how Billy Maximoff goes on to become Teen aka Wiccan. Joe Locke, who plays the character, is first introduced as Billy Kaplan, a Jewish teenager in the backstory. It was witch Lilia Calderu, an expert in divination, who places the mysterious sigil on him that blocks Teen from sharing his identity.
Billy Kaplan dies in a car crash just as Wanda ends her magical hex and the souls of Billy and Tommy, who are assumed to have been erased by the destruction in the Westview, take over other bodies. So, Kaplan dies in the car crash and his body wakes up again with Billy Maximoff’s soul.
Wiccan’s backstory in Marvel comics
Billy and Tommy were originally introduced as Wanda and Vision’s sons in the comics who die prematurely at the hands of dark lord Mephisto. The villain absorbs their power while manipulating Wanda to believe her children were merely a figment of her imagination. Later, Billy and Tommy are reborn as two ordinary teenagers Billy Kaplan and Thomas Shepherd. In Billy’s case particularly, he is an ordinary teenager who awakens his magic while fighting school bullies.
In Agatha All Along, Billy awakes his magic on The Witches’ Road during a heated confrontation with Agatha Harkness.
