Marvel has never exactly been at the forefront of LGBTQ representation. So far, every queer character has been more or less tokenized: a director cameo, a quick kiss, a character with two moms. Technically, the first appearance of a gay Avenger was actually baby Billy Maximoff in WandaVision, and that was only because fans knew he was destined to eventually become Young Avengers member Wiccan.
Agatha All Along changed all of that. Not only did the series confirm Billy was out and proud and very in love with his boyfriend Eddie, it also teased some tension between Agatha Harkness and Rio Vida, the black-hearted Green Witch. It wasn’t until after we learned they are exes that Rio revealed her true form: Death itself. “What can I say?” Agatha quipped. “I like the bad boys.”
