[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 311889, member: 5079"] Some musings, as I do my best to do a one-man recreation of the hoopla of theorizing and conjecture that was occurring while the episodes were airing, hitting their zenith in eps 5 & 6. At this stage, I believe there are four characters whose real identities have not been confirmed: Dottie, Agnes, Ralph and the witness relocation person Jimmy Woo was searching for in his initial appearance. Agnes has made a few references to Ralph. The "unseen character" is a staple of sitcoms; usually the spouse of a secondary character who is the brunt of jokes. In comic books, there was a long history of Wanda being manipulated and even possessed by insidious forces. Let's consider some of them: Magneto: classically portrayed as the father of Wanda and Pietro, although I think this was later retconned. (And then re-retconned. And maybe re- re-rectconned.) This may seem impossible, since the MCU and the X-MEN films were owned by different companies. But! Some months before WANDAVISION, Disney purchased Fox. That mutants will be incorporated into the MCU is an inevitability. ENDGAME introduced alternate timelines and the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel is called MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. And now, Evan Peters -- Quicksilver from the X-Men films! -- may or may not be Pietro of this universe ... or another. Did Wanda breach the Multiverse? Chthon: the Lovecraftian elder god once possessed Wanda as his human host. It was later revealed that her hexes tapped into chaos magic, and that Wanda was linked to Chthon at her birth in Wundagore. Immortus: the time traveling villain once kidnapped and brainwashed Wanda to use her probability altering powers to change the timeline. This set off a series of events where Wanda changed the fabric of reality (House of M). Mephisto: In a nutshell, deeply connected to the magical birth of Wanda's twins. Heavily favored among the online theories for being behind the events of WANDAVISION. And some random theories that were kicked around: Loki: killed in INFINTY WAR, but an alternate version was introduced in ENDGAME. No direct connection to Wanda, but his eponymous series is following shortly after WV. Could the God of Mischief be linked from this series into his own? Emma Frost: Some speculation was made that Dottie might be Emma, using her mind controlling powers to manipulate Wanda. Additionally, it's been known for some time that Wanda would have some level of involvement with the next DOCTOR STRANGE. Could Strange himself show up in WV, leading into his film? If not, perhaps Wong? Maybe Mordo? That "aerospace engineer" mentioned by Monic started some conjecture about Reed Richards. The Fantastic Four, like the X-Men, had been acquired by Disney recently.
