Who is Agatha Harkness in comics?

In Marvel Comics, Agatha Harkness is a powerful witch, depicted as a sinister heroine and teacher of Wanda Maximoff. She is the one who mentors Wanda in knowing real magic, turning her into Scarlet Witch. The two had a friendly but complicated relationship. In the comics, Wanda gives birth to her children by channeling her magical energy, based on advice given by Agatha. It was later revealed that her two boys were actually fragments of Mephisto’s soul and the villain reabsorbs them. Marvel’s Agatha Harkness briefly mind-wiped Wanda’s memory of her children so that she could deal with the trauma. Later in comics, both the witches have shared a good on and off relation. Agatha’s magical powers include manipulation, teleportation, illusion-casting, age reduction, and more.
