Agatha-Harkness-from-WandaVision

Agatha All Along will expand the story of Agatha Harkness after her imprisonment at the end of WandaVision, but the character already has a long history in the comics. Long before the events of WandaVision in the Multiverse Saga, and even before the MCU itself, Agatha Harkness has been a figure who appeared in Marvel Comics in connection with several characters.

Related WandaVision's Upcoming Spin-Off Is Copying Scarlet Witch's Original In The Best Way WandaVision's first spinoff is set to premiere very soon, and the new MCU Disney+ series is expected to copy one of the best parts of its predecessor. In WandaVision, Agatha is also revealed to be an old witch whose knowledge is extensive, but it appears that her powers are considerably less developed than in the comics. However, considering she has featured in comics for more than 50 years, facing down threats from all across the Marvel universe, it only makes sense that her powers are less defined in a miniseries that plays out across 9 episodes.

Likewise, the character is notably less experienced in the MCU. In The MCU, Agatha was kicked out of her coven for practicing dark magic in the 17th century. However, in the comics, she first became involved in magic in the 15th century. By the 17th century, comic Agatha was leading her own coven. In addition, her age in the comic places her as being significantly older, remembering up to 500 years before Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea.

Why Agatha Harkness Is Getting Her Own MCU Show Agatha's Story Has Just Begun Some people have questioned why Agatha Harkness, a character who has never starred in her own series of comics and always appears as someone in the background, was chosen to lead an MCU spin-off. While she played an important part in WandaVision, most villains don't get their own show to expand their story when the hero is finished with them.
