Agatha Harkness, a fascinating character from the Marvel universe, has recently captured fans’ attention once again in the new Disney+ series, Agatha All Along.

A question arises regarding what happened to her son, Nicholas Scratch, and the clues provided throughout the series hint at a deeper and darker story.

In the comics, Nicholas Scratch is a powerful magic user who often finds himself in conflict with heroes like the Fantastic Four.

Agatha Harkness and Nicholas Scratch

In the premiere episode of Agatha All Along, viewers are shown an emotional Agatha peeking into a child’s bedroom belonging to Nicholas Scratch.

This moment leaves many fans wondering about the relationship between Agatha and her son.

In the comic books, Nicholas is known for his magical abilities and often serves as an antagonist.

He has a complicated relationship with his mother, who is both protective and ambitious when it comes to her magical pursuits.

What Was Revealed About Nicholas in the Series?

The third episode features a warning from witch Jennifer Kale, who advises a character known as Teen to be cautious around Agatha.

She ominously mentions that Agatha “traded her own child for the Book of the Damned,” commonly known as the Darkhold.

This revelation introduces the idea that Nicholas may have been sacrificed for the sake of power, hinting at a dark deal that Agatha made in her quest for greater magic.

The identity of the entity Agatha traded Nicholas to remains a mystery, but Mephisto, a notorious demon in the Marvel universe, could be a key player.

Jennifer Kale suggests that Mephisto might have had some involvement, leaving fans speculating about the potential connection between the demon and Agatha’s son.

More Clues in Agatha All Along

In the fourth episode, an intriguing exchange occurs when Aubrey Plaza’s character, Rio Vidal, tells Agatha, “That boy is not yours.”

This statement further fuels speculation that Teen might actually be Nicholas Scratch, or at least related to him in some way.

While this theory remains unconfirmed, it highlights Agatha’s tumultuous journey through motherhood and magic.

Fans have previously speculated about Nicholas’s fate, including theories that he was transformed into the rabbit, Señor Scratchy, which was featured in WandaVision.

However, those theories have yet to be substantiated in the new series. It’s suggested that Agatha may have named the demon after her son as a way of coping with her grief over losing him.

The Future of Agatha and Nicholas Scratch

If Agatha seeks to reclaim her magical power on her quest called the Witches’ Road, there is potential for her to have a change of heart.

If she can find a way to reverse the deal that led to her son’s disappearance, it could become a pivotal moment for her character, allowing her to evolve into a more heroic or anti-heroic figure.

Jennifer Kale also offered several possibilities regarding Nicholas’s future, suggesting he might be dead, turned into a demon, or even an agent of Mephisto.

However, these theories remain speculative, and Marvel is known for surprising its audience.

Interestingly, just a week after the premiere of Agatha All Along, Marvel published an article about Nicholas Scratch’s history on their official website.

This timing hints that Marvel wants to familiarize fans with Nicholas Scratch before potentially bringing him into the MCU.

As of now, no actor has been announced to play the role, and it remains uncertain whether Joe Locke’s character, Teen, is indeed Scratch in hiding.
