And yes, as some folks kindly reminded me, we did meet AIM in Iron Man 3, but in the comics, AIM are a crooked super-science company founded by Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker, the Avengers: Age of Ultron curtain-jerker and the man who activated Wanda and Pietro Maximoff’s metahuman powers. We’ve known since the trailers that a brand new secret organization would be joining the MCU, which is why we’re thrilled to welcome Advanced Idea Mechanics back to the party. The birth brother of Simon Williams (known more commonly as Wonder Man), he became a dedicated enemy of the superhero team when Simon was killed during a conflict with the superheroes. Williams Innovations gradually failed, thanks in part to stiff. Eric Williams aka the Grim Reaper is a long-time villain of the Avengers. Simon, meanwhile, dutifully entered the family business and took over its management after Sanford’s death. So who is WandaVision‘s mysterious Beekeeper and what could he mean for the future of our suburban MCU pals? We have a few theories… A.I.M. Scorning his family’s high-tech manufacturing business, Eric became a gambler and a professional criminal, rising within the ranks of the Maggia organized crime cartel. It’s a moment that we first saw in one of the recent trailers, but it didn’t make it any less unsettling when it happened onscreen in this episode. He doesn’t seem too pleased that she spots him, either. Wanda, out on the street in front of her house in the evening, spots a manhole cover being pushed aside…and a man in a beekeeper suit climbs out.

There’s a disturbing moment in Marvel’s WandaVision episode 2 that breaks up the otherwise note-perfect rhythm of sitcom life. This article contains WandaVision episode 2 spoilers.
