Theories surrounding the true identity of the sorceress Rio Vidal have begun to be raised by the audience since the first episodes of the series. Agatha All Along . However, it was not until the latest episode that Marvel Studios officially confirmed that she is the goddess Death, through a series of flashback segments during Lilia's ordeal. Besides, all the clues leading to this truth are clearly explained, thereby helping the screenplay become much clearer and more logical. In addition, Agatha Harkness inherently understood Rio's identity, but decided not to share it with other members of her witch society.
Another notable point is how death works in the MCU. Right from the first episode, when Rio appeared outside the town of Westview, she wanted to eliminate Agatha like it was impossible. This raises many questions in the hearts of the audience about the operating principles of the MCU version of Death, and it seems that the goddess of death can only collect the souls of victims after they die.
Death's origin is also slightly changed from the original comic. Accordingly, Rio is the original Green Witch. This detail shows that besides death, Rio is also associated with life and creation, similar to Shiva – the Hindu goddess of death. This may be the basis for Marvel Studios to explain the birth of Nicholas Scratch, Agatha's son, in future projects.
Death's origins and powers in Marvel comics

Death, also known as Mistress Death or Lady Death, makes her debut in the series Captain Marvel #26 (1973) by Mike Friedrich and Jim Starlin. This character is an abstract entity in the Marvel universe, the embodiment of death and possessing god-level powers. If Eternity (which appeared in Thor: Love & Thunder) is the representative of the living universe, Death is the symbol of the end, and is mainly depicted in the form of a skeleton wearing a cloak. black or purple. However, with his power, Death can arbitrarily transform into any shape, the most common being the image of a Caucasian woman.
Death has appeared in many major series, with the participation of famous superheroes and super villains such as Thanos, Adam Warlock, Elders of the Universe, Deadpool, Nova, Spider-Man or Beyonder – rare characters. Hoi once successfully killed Death to show off his strength. Death's appearances in Marvel comics are often associated with tragedy, gloom, and dark stories – similar to what's going on in Marvel Comics. Agatha All Along .
In terms of strength, because it is an abstract entity with no clear physical form and the embodiment of death, Death is almost immune to all types of damage. Even though he was killed by the Beyonder, Death is still an immortal individual and can easily be revived. This character's knowledge and power are limitless, and he also possesses the ability to control time, space, matter and reality. With the ability to completely control the concept of death, Death can “kill” and revive anyone. She even has her own kingdom called Realm of Death.
In the TV version, Rio/Death's power has not been exploited too deeply but is only shown through some scattered details in the film. This witch easily broke the spell that Wanda used on Agatha, and can also control many different types of elements, along with a set of professional fighting skills and the ability to heal wounds. respect.
Death has been “teased” in the MCU

Although it wasn't until now that Lady Death officially appeared in the MCU, this character has been “teased” in a number of previous Marvel Studios projects. In the post-credits scene of The Avengers (2012), The Other warned Thanos about the danger of the Avengers with a line: “ To challenge them is to court death ”. This line can be roughly translated as “ To challenge them is to bring about your own death ”. However, the verb “court” can also be understood as “flirt”, suggesting that confronting the Avengers could help Thanos impress Lady Death.
If you don't know, in the original story, Death once made Thanos fall in love with him. He even collected 6 infinity stones and wiped out half of the universe's population, just to receive attention from his “muse”. The relationship between Thanos and Death in the comics is quite complicated, but it is completely eliminated in the movie version. With information surrounding the mad Titan will soon reappear in the MCU, plus Death has officially stepped onto the silver screen, Marvel Studios will have the opportunity to further explore this love affair in future projects. .
Besides, Lady Death also experienced a strange love affair with Deadpool – the new superhero who joined the MCU this summer. That caused the fire of jealousy to burn fiercely in Thanos. He cursed Deadpool with immortality, so that the “muddy” mutant would never have the chance to meet Death again. Marvel Studios currently holds all the cards needed to recreate this complicated love triangle and can even “add more spice” thanks to the past relationship between Rio and Agatha Harkness.
