Originally bound in iron scrolls, the Darkhold contains the vast, diabolical magical knowledge of the Marvel Comics’ chaos deity Chthon.Īn Elder God of dark magic who sensed Wanda Maximoff’s reality-altering nature as a ‘Nexus Being’ (a being with ties to the so-called Nexus of Marvel’s Multiverse, a place where all realities touch), Chthon gave Wanda a portion of his own chaotic essence at the moment of her birth. But its true nature is as one of the publisher’s most primal magical artifacts, a wealth of sorcery that dates back to the time before the sinking of Atlantis in the Marvel Universe (as does its possible MCU guardian Agatha Harkness, one of Marvel Comics’ most ancient magical beings). Sometimes called the ‘Book of Sins,’ Marvel Comics’ Darkhold has an ancient, eldritch history of black magic, chaotic deities, and reality-conquering power.

In Marvel Comics lore, the Darkhold is a tome of evil magical knowledge with direct ties to Wanda’s history and her powers – and the sinister undercurrent of manipulation and mayhem that goes along with her magical abilities.įorged by one of Marvel’s Elder Gods, the Darkhold has haunted Wanda and the entire magical environment of the Marvel Universe for most of her Marvel Comics history.
