In this article, we will explore details about the Salem Seven and their powers and abilities.
Who are the Salem Seven in Agatha All Along and Marvel comics?
In Agatha All Along and Marvel Comics, the Salem Seven are a key group of magical antagonists tied to Agatha Harkness’s family. In the comics, they are the seven children of Nicholas Scratch, Agatha’s powerful son, who resides in the secret witch community of New Salem. Each sibling, Vertigo, Brutacus, Gazelle, Hydron, Reptilla, Thornn, and Vakume, possesses unique magical abilities. They often serve as adversaries to Agatha and the Fantastic Four.
In the Disney Plus series Agatha All Along, the hooded figures of the Salem Seven threaten Agatha and her new coven. Led by Vertigo, this group seems to be based on their comic book counterparts but reimagined for the MCU.
In Agatha All Along, the Salem Seven takes on the role of the main villain. However, their reasons for pursuing Agatha remain unclear. Although the show hints that witches Agatha wronged in the past might seek revenge now that she’s freed from Wanda’s spell, the Salem Seven’s true motivation remains a mystery.
