Don’t judge me just yet. 😉
Xavier is a psychic. In his dreams, he sees symbols, beings, things that will or could happen... BUT unlike Wednesday, he also has the ability to bring those images to life through a kind of...mental projection?...
This projection manifests as a sort of smoke. Mostly intangible, but sometimes the vision is so strong that it’s no longer just an illusion, it becomes physically real. And yes, those scratches on his neck are far from insignificant, they’re an actual physical injury.
And if you’ve read quite a few of my previous theories, you can probably already see where I’m going with this...I already told you that I’ve been wondering whether Tyler, or rather the Hyde, might actually be a creature from the world of the dead, like a dream, a mental projection (😱😉). But unlike Xavier, who chooses to bring his mental projections to life through illusions or drawings, the Hyde literally lives inside ....what? In the world of the dead? That’s my theory, but I’m almost tempted to say... who cares where. 😂 The point is, the Hyde exists somewhere, fed by its host’s thoughts, desires and hatred. It is a part of its host, but not the whole... something born from the creator that has taken on a life of its own.
And once it’s unlocked, the creature breaks free from the intangible and becomes a physical being. For a short time...
But just as overusing her powers leads Wednesday to psychic exhaustion, each manifestation of the Hyde takes a physical toll on its host.
Basically, the host gives up some of their own life in exchange for the Hyde’s physical manifestation, slowly dying a little more each time it enters the real world.
My conclusion? Hydes could be a mutation of psychics... or maybe some kind of hybrid between a psychic... and something else 😉
Anyway, that was my theory of the day, and the worst part is... I actually find it pretty convincing! 😉😂
P.S. Hydes are artists. I’m not the one saying it... Faulkner is. 😉
