Who are you really, Mr. Teen?

Full spoilers follow for Agatha All Along's two-episode premiere, WandaVision, and Doctor Strange 2. Potentially big spoilers also follow for Teen's real identity.

Agatha All Along has made its spellbinding debut on Disney Plus – and, like many of you, I'm already caught up in its biggest mystery: who is Teen, the enigmatic character played by Joe Locke?

Shocking no one, Marvel doesn't give us a definitive answer at any point in the show's two-episode premiere. In fact, the comic giant goes to great lengths to ensuring that Teen's real name isn't disclosed in the episodes 'Seekest Thou The Road' or 'Circle Sewn With Fate, Unlock Thy Hidden Gate'. Clearly, there's more than meets the eye with the particular Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) character.

But, like any good detective, I've scoured Agatha All Along's first two episodes for clues to determine Teen's actual identity. I don't want to brag, but I think I've already worked out who he is, too. So, before you continue scrolling, this is your final warning: potentially huge spoilers follow for Marvel's latest TV show. If you haven't seen any episodes yet, read my Agatha All Along review first and then stream them. Once you've completed both tasks, you should be safe to proceed.

What is Teen's real name in Agatha All Along? Is it Billy Maximoff?

In the immediate aftermath of Agatha All Along's debut, the prevailing theory among Marvel fans – myself included – is that Teen's real name is William 'Billy' Maximoff. Yes, one of Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch's twin sons who first appeared in WandaVision.

There are plenty of signs to support this fan theory. For one, Teen wants to navigate the dangerous, sorcery-filled realm known as The Witches' Road. Individuals who successfully pass its numerous trials will be gifted a grand reward once they reach the end. With Wanda seemingly perishing in Doctor Strange 2's final act, what better reason would one of her sons have to successfully traverse The Witches' Road and rescue his mom from eternal damnation?

That isn't the only compelling piece of evidence that Teen is really Billy. Early on in episode 2 when he's conversing with Agatha Harkness, the latter asks him what his name is. Teen tries to tell her, but his mouth is covered by some of dark magic spell that prevents Agatha – and viewers – from hearing what he says, or even reading his lips to work out what words he's uttering.
