Did ‘Agatha All Along’ Just Give Us Our First Glimpse of the MCU’s Blackheart?

by

As a long-time comic book enthusiast with a soft spot for the mystical and the macabre, I find myself utterly captivated by the enigmatic twist that “Agatha All Along” has taken us on. The introduction of possible supernatural entities like Blackheart, a character steeped in dark energies and intrigue, is a tantalizing prospect that harks back to my childhood days spent poring over Marvel comics.

The series titled “Agatha All Along” debuted its first two episodes, and while viewers seem to be appreciating it, critics are showing mixed opinions. Following the storyline of “WandaVision”, Agatha, who is still disguised as Agnes, finds herself ensnared by a spell cast by the Scarlet Witch. However, she manages to escape thanks to a character called Locke’s The Teen.

Teenager and Agatha join forces, though it’s a tense partnership, since they both aim for the same objective – traversing the Witches’ Path. The Teen yearns for power, while Agatha, now powerless, is resolute in recovering what was taken from her.

In the series Agatha All Along, one of the initial secondary characters introduced is Rio Vidal, portrayed by Aubrey Plaza, who was previously confirmed as a green witch. This adds an enigmatic aspect to the plot. To travel the Witches’ Path, Agatha requires a coven, so she reaches out to old companions. One of these contacts is Lilia Calderu (played by Patti LuPone), a witch who provides Agatha with a list of potential members. Among the names listed, there’s a puzzling symbol: a black heart.

Agatha interprets the dark symbol as referring to Mrs. Hart (Debra Jo Rupp) or herself as a green witch, but Rio Vidal adds a layer of complexity since he too is a green witch. The heart might be hinting at their intricate romantic past, subtly suggested in the series. However, Agatha’s explanation that Lilia drew it with a black pen could also mean something more ominous – perhaps a link to Mephisto.

Could it be possible that not only Mephisto might make an appearance in the series, but also his offspring, a character named Blackheart, in a unique twist where the character’s gender has been changed? In the original comics, Blackheart emerged from the intensified wickedness of Christ’s Crown, New York – a location teeming with dark energies due to centuries of human sin. Mephisto brought Blackheart into existence as his successor, guiding him on how to corrupt anything and everything in his path.

Blackheart, this powerful demon, possesses an array of abilities such as dark sorcery, manipulation of reality, extraordinary physical might, swiftness, and resilience. He also boasts teleportation capabilities and the ability to read minds. Often found in conflict with Ghost Rider, there are whispers that Ghost Rider’s upcoming MCU appearance, along with characters like Jennifer Kale and other supernatural entities, could pave the way for a potential Midnight Sons venture, as hinted by Agatha All Along.

Could Blackheart truly be Rio Vidal, considering her menacing demeanor? Or might it instead be Mrs. Hart, who seems oblivious to any supernatural abilities, secretly masking herself as a centuries-old demon?
