WandaVision: Is SPOILER Really Mephisto?
WandaVision Episode 5 has shocked Marvel fans with its major twist ending, which brought a [...]
Mephisto? Or Mephisto-Made?
So... I know he is X-Men's Quicksilver but, I'm not entirely convinced about that... There's gotta be something more... Perhaps is Mephisto's hand behind this? Or maybe he is Mephisto himself (?) #WandaVision pic.twitter.com/7zhygjvhon

Two working theories right now: Quicksilver is either a manifestation created by Mephisto to help keep Wanda locked into her perfect fantasy life. Or, "Pietro" is actually Mephisto himself taken human form, to achieve a similar purpose. The latter scenario could be key: In the comics, Wanda's twin boys were created from shards of Mephisto's soul, and the devil eventually came to collect them. If "Uncle Pietro" is indeed Mephisto, Wanda and Vision's family could be headed for a real tragedy.

Mephisto could also be “Pietro”. Obviously the ending of Ep. 5, we had the X-Men version of Quicksilver show up. Wanda looks like she had nothing to do with this. If you look closely in the mirror, you see Pietro’s hand is red. Red is the color of the devil 🤷🏽♂️ pic.twitter.com/ghAdLP60k9

Now we come to the red hand theory. This tweet lays it out pretty concisely, but there is a caveat: Some fans have questioned whether or not (based on the angle) we're seeing Vision's hand reflected in the mirror, as he is also present in the scene. Look and decide for yourself.

why do people think quicksilver is mephisto💀 i keep rewatching the scene and i don't see the red hand everyone is talking about
For every Marvel fan that spots Pietro's devilish red hand, there's another who claims not to see it. Either the devil is that tricky, or we're on our way to one of those "gold/white vs. blue/black dress" situations.
prevnextHand Signals
The references to multiple X-Men films in the latest #WandaVision episode is quite surprising (X1’s gun scene, X3’s red jacket and “no needle” scene, prequels Magneto hand movements, and of course Quicksilver)

As you can see, hands are definitely a theme of WandaVision Episode 5 that fans are latching onto. Besides Mephisto, an earlier scene showed Wanda using Magneto-style hand-gestures to turn SWORD agents' own guns against Director Hayward.

But the hand in the mirror before Quicksilver mock the Popsicle, is that you Mephisto? https://t.co/MUEIWcYbA8

Some Marvel fans are (literally) hearing the devil knocking at that door. Are they right to be wary?
prevnextGrey Arm Theory
Not denying the fact that the multiverse exists but the Quicksilver we see is definitely Mephisto. The mirror doesn't show a reflect of Evan but a red hand and another thing which looks like a gray arm. pic.twitter.com/ys3gtaZvyq

Some fans have graduated from the Mephisto Red Hand Theory to an entire gray arm theory that's now going around.

Hell is truly having to wait seven more days to get to the bottom of this Pietro/Mephisto question.
