Agatha All Along introduces a group of villains, the Salem Seven, who have deep roots in the comics. These seven figures appear to be dark sorcerers who pose a threat to Agatha and her coven.
In the comics, the Salem Seven are key enemies of Agatha. They have a strong connection to her son and play a significant role in her downfall. However, the Salem Seven have been altered slightly in the MCU’s Agatha All Along.
This powerful group of magic users is linked to Scarlet Witch and the Fantastic Four. In Agatha All Along, Agatha Harkness breaks free from the spell cast by Wanda Maximoff, which ends her role as "Agnes." The Disney+ series follows Agatha as she forms her own coven and embarks on a mystical adventure.
Here’s what we know about the Salem Seven and how they are connected to Agatha Harkness and her dark magical past.
Who are the Salem Seven in Agatha All Along?
In Agatha All Along, this group makes their MCU debut, intending to take down Agatha and her coven. The Salem Seven are among Agatha’s most dangerous enemies, and the series hints that they might be seeking revenge.
The Salem Seven appear in hooded forms in Agatha All Along, surrounded by an air of mystery. The show takes inspiration from the comics but adds its own creative twist to the characters.
In the comics, the Salem Seven are depicted as the grandchildren of Agatha Harkness. They are powerful sorcerers raised by Agatha’s son, Nicholas Scratch. These seven siblings possess magical powers, which they inherited from Scratch.
Each member can transform into an evil creature with extraordinary abilities. They originally abducted Agatha and burned her at the stake, a crucial event that shapes their hostile relationship.
Although they are powerful, Agatha eventually defeats them.
Powers and abilities of the Salem Seven
The seven members are no ordinary magic users. Each possesses unique powers, making them intimidating enemies.
In the comics, Thornn is the most malicious member of the Salem Seven, capable of transforming into a yellow, demon-like being with detachable red horns.
Gazelle, the least villainous, can take the form of a deer-like humanoid with super speed, strength, and agility. Vakume can fly, absorb energy, and control the wind, while Vertigo can cause intense nausea in her enemies.
Brutacus transforms into a super-strong red demon, Hydron can morph into a merman with the ability to shoot water, and Reptilla becomes a snake with smaller snakes for hands.
However, in Agatha All Along, the MCU has decided to change things up. The Salem Seven in the show can transform into actual animals. Here are the actors playing the Salem Seven and their transformations:
- Okwui Okpokwasili - Cicada
- Marina Mazepa - Snake
- Bethany Curry - Crow
- Athena Perample - Fox
- Britta Grant - Rat
- Alicia Vela-Bailey - Owl
- Chau Naumova - Coyote
The Salem Seven’s role in Agatha All Along
In Westview, Rio Vidal tells Agatha about the return of the Salem Seven, suggesting that Rio is aware of their power. The ominous appearance of animals—a crow, a rat, and a coyote—hints at the Salem Seven's impending arrival, marking a turning point in the series.
They eventually appear in the second episode of Agatha All Along, outside Agatha’s house as mysterious figures in black robes.
This development threatens Agatha, prompting her to consider leaving Westview. However, Teen convinces her to focus on regaining her powers and heading to the Witches’ Road.
The Salem Seven then attack Agatha, but she and her coven manage to escape through the Witches’ Road, which is opened by a ritual performed by her coven.
Thus, the Salem Seven are powerful beings who are greatly feared by both Agatha and her coven.
Agatha All Along can be streamed on Disney+.
