How did Henry become “001” on his way to becoming Vecna?
Henry Creel was a boy with psychic abilities who was resentful of humanity.
Henry’s mom, Virginia Creel, wanted Henry to get help with his supernatural abilities, so she took him to Hawkins National Laboratory where a Dr. Brenner started conducting tests on Henry. Dr. Brenner put a device in Henry’s neck to suppress his powers and to prevent him from escaping the laboratory.
This was where Henry was designated as the first test subject, “001.”
Why would Vecna kill his own family?
Henry’s mom, Virginia Creel, wanted Henry to get help with his supernatural abilities as a child, and Henry wasn’t a big fan of this.
He and his family were eating dinner on a casual night in the Creel house when Henry used his powers to control his mother and kill her.
As Henry appeared to pass out, he was able to use his powers to hypnotize his father, Victor Creel, so he could kill his sister the same way he did his mom. Henry’s dad was the last adult Henry had in his life.
How did Henry get his powers back after being controlled in the laboratory?
When Eleven was reliving a flashback and was trying to regain her powers from her past life, she ran into Henry, where he was trying to help Eleven and himself escape.
He tricked her into removing the controlling device from his neck so he could then use his powers freely to defeat Eleven.
Henry now had full use of his powers.
Why does Vecna look burnt?
After Eleven removed the device out of Henry’s neck, Henry and Eleven battled in the lab playroom. Eleven fought back and used her powers to pin him against the playroom wall and accidentally opened a gate to the Upside Down.
Henry was last seen in human form before he vanished behind the wall. As he was falling through “dimension X,” he was being electrocuted by the abnormal red lightning, burning his skin, which turned Henry into burnt Vecna.
Why does the mind flayer look like a spider?
Vecna had an obsession with spiders as a child and liked to collect them in his attic.
In the Upside down, Vecna created the mind flayer by using his powers to gather particles from human remains and shadow particles from the Upside Down world.
He used his powers to replicate a spider based on his childhood fascination.
