There are many ideas that support this, so let us start off today’s movie by noting that we will be talking about every piece of evidence that leads in the right direction. I just wanted to let everyone know that this video will have a lot of huge spoilers, so be prepared!
You prepared? So let us get started!
Although we only had a fleeting encounter with Eleven’s mother, Terry Ives, in seasons one and two, and despite the fact that we do not know much about Eleven’s father, there is a good chance that the spellcaster Vecna is actually Eleven’s biological father.
Now, there is no denying that the biggest revelation of Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 1 was Henry Creel being the experimental subject number 001. Dr. Brenner had no intentions of just studying Creel, he wanted to control him and, ultimately coming to a realization that he will not be able to control Creel, Dr. Brenner tried to recreate him and soon began a program – one that led to the other test subjects being born. In other words, that is how Eleven was born.
Now, if we have to stress on the part where Dr. Brenner wanted to recreate One, and given that nothing was divulged about his recreating method, it is quite possible that Creel’s DNA may have been used to create the other children, which very much includes Eleven, thus making Henry Creel aka Vecna Eleven’s father! You know it is a valid point and you can’t really ignore this.
Next comes the part where Eleven, while remembering the events of the Hawkins Lab massacre, recalled Creel telling her that he was really glad that she was born. With Eleven claiming that Creel tricked her, Creel told her that he actually saved her from being a prisoner there, further stating that to Dr. Brenner, she was nothing more than a lab rat to be tamed. Creel called her superior and had even offered her to join him. His initial plan was to escape with her, mind you, only her.
It was never really his plan to bring the other kids along and that’s why he got rid of them, in the first place. No wonder he wanted Eleven to join him into reshaping and remaking the world however they see fit. In short, he wanted her to rule the world along with him and it is only normal for a father to want his daughter to do that.
Amongst the number of possibilities that point Vecna as Eleven’s father, the flashbacks show Eleven being nine years old and Vecna to be in his thirties, 33 years to be specific. Like it or not, but this does support the theory! Also, we can’t really disregard certain procedures like artificial insemination, or let’s say, biological sample from Creel being implanted in the mother, Terry in this case, and thereby resulting in the birth of Eleven.
It is mandatory that we take every possibility into account. Who knows, the ultimate face-off between El and Vecna in season 5 might take a turn where Vecna actually discloses to her that he is her father, so as to serve some kind of a distraction and make her want to save him? This theory here is huge and if this gets revealed in season 5, you will be the first one to say that you always knew it!
Now, coming back to the part where Henry Creel was the very first test subject, it is pretty clear that Dr. Brenner did some stuff to him in the lab, details of which have not been disclosed yet. We know this for a fact that Dr. Brenner’s actual motive was to create more children like Creel, you know, children with psychic abilities.
Now, our research states that so far, the number of children who were part of the experiment were close to 18, each with different levels of strength. But if you meticulously look at things, it is only Eleven who ended up having powers that in a way complimented the strength and power of 001. This hints towards a very basic fact – her abilities are biological and they have been passed down through genetics and we are obviously stressing on Henry Creel’s genetics here.
There’s another intriguing and wild theory, we may add, which suggests that it was Dr. Brenner’s idea to use the original DNA of 001 like a sample of sperm and artificially inseminate Terry without her having the slightest idea, while she was a part of the Project MKUltra.
Well, of course, it is not the right thing to do but knowing Brenner’s reputation, you know this possibility cannot be brushed off. If you don’t strike a chord with this, how about a different theory that states that Creel might have managed to be in a relationship with Terry when she was at the lab and gotten her pregnant?
Creel, upon seeing Eleven, immediately got fascinated by her and he was always there to help her out in the lab. It was the biological connection that he had with Eleven that made him realize how powerful she was and that is precisely what made him plan their eventual escape.
With this, we have come to the very end of our video here. Do let us know about your views in the comments section. We’d love to know if you and we happen to be on the same page. Do you really think it is Vecna who happens to be the biological father of Eleven or do you think it is someone else? Hit us with your thoughts. And till then, stay tuned for more interesting content on Stranger Things.
