Detailed Information of Superhero
Agatha Harkness (Earth-199999)
Agatha Harkness was a powerful sorceress of the Salem coven of witches, who her mother Evanora was the leader of. In 1693, the coven put her on trial for practicing dark magic and magic that was above her rank. While initially pleading remorseful and innocent, Agatha quickly used her dark magic against her coven when her mother said that there was no hope that she'd change for the better. She drained the magic power and life energy from her coven, even her mother, then fled Salem. At some point, Agatha gained possession of the Darkhold, the "Book of the Damned," which she studied rigorously.

TRIVIA
Hahn previously voiced Doc Ock in the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Agatha says her wedding anniversary is on June 2nd, which could be a reference to the date in real-world history when the first person executed for witchcraft was convicted and sentenced to death during the Salem Witch Trials, which is a significant part of Agatha Harkness' backstory in the comics. This version of Agatha is also a Salem Witch and was put on trial but her coven, but it's unclear if she was part of the actual Salem Witch Trials.
Agatha alludes to a husband named Ralph throughout the episodes of WandaVision, but he isn't actually revealed until the final episode and he's never seen with her. This is an homage to a classic sitcom trope where the neighbor would make allusions to a spouse that never appears on the show.
The exterior of Ralph's house (which Agatha takes over) is the same as the house used by the main witch character in the 1960s sitcom Bewitched.
