Hello there.
I’m Paul Rea from the Official Teen Wolf Wiki. At the time of this recording,
I am suffering complications from oral surgery and remain unable to speak. I
am using this voice generated by Lovo AI so that you don’t miss another trip back to Beacon Hills.
Today, I’ll explain my theory about werewolf sparks that developed over several earlier videos.
Due to the limitations of this AI voice,
the video will be more data-driven and less rambling than normal.
If you enjoy exploring the canon and nostalgia of Teen Wolf, subscribe for weekly videos.
If you want to support the channel financially,
we have this pitiful excuse for a tee-shirt I did with Represent Dot Com.
There are only one hundred of this design and no more will be made once these are sold.
Or burned?
Eventually we’ll have to burn them, I think?
We could give them to charity. But, really, haven’t those folks suffered enough already?
Gerard: Lycaon didn't just refuse to honor the gods, he challenged them.
He invited Zeus to a banquet and then tried to serve him the flesh of a human being.
Angered, Zeus blew the place apart with lightning bolts.
And then punished Lycaon and his sons by turning them into wolves.
You must believe that one canonical fact in order for the rest of my werewolf spark theory to work.
Zeus made the first werewolves with a lightning-borne curse.
This divine spark from Zeus gave the first 50 Alpha werewolves the
ability to make new werewolves.
In other words, they can share their spark to create little werewolf sparks through scratch or bite.
Only the divine spark of an Alpha can create new sparks in this manner
and those new sparks are always connected to the spark that made them.
This is why Peter was able to exert enough control over Scott in Season 1
to call him out to the woods in his sleep and to send him to kill his friends.
It’s not mind control. It’s just a limited connection
from the divine spark to the little spark it created.
This ability to create might explain why an injury from an Alpha would heal slowly.
Spark energy transferred in the wound would be rejected by the little spark already embedded in the werewolf.
This could also explain why sparks can be inherited within the same family.
The divine spark, when the alpha dies peacefully, would connect to another familial spark
because same calls to same.
On the other hand, when a little spark kills the holder of a divine spark,
that divine spark jumps to the killer.
My guess is that this is a function of proximity. I doubt you could blow up
an alpha werewolf with a timed explosive and receive their spark from miles away.
Derek: I'm the Alpha now.
The theft of a spark must be a face-to-face affair.
Peter: Do you want the bite? If it doesn't kill you, and it could, you'll become like us.
In addition to these common outcomes, there are also
times when the divine spark interacts badly with the human’s spirit.
These instances will result in unpredictable transformations.
Whereas the little spark says “werewolf”,
the human’s energy is corrupted and warps the message to say “kanima” or “jaguar”.
This warping of the divine spark could explain other creatures as well.
Were coyotes could have started as a "bite gone wrong". That would explain
their similarities to werewolves and the downgrade of power during reproduction.
As we saw with the resolution of the Kanima, these damaged sparks remain
altered even once the human resolves their issues. Jackson is now human, wolf, and kanima.
This could explain why Mr. Douglas is human, wolf and lion.
If a bite went wrong initially, perhaps due to the Nazi bastard's overwhelming arrogance,
he might have developed lion parts instead of becoming a werewolf. Once he matured and resolved
some of his issues, the werewolf transformation completed leaving him with bits of both.
My theory also covers the concept of true alphas.
None of the sparks, divine or little sparks, are stagnate.
They mix with the human’s life energy and can be enhanced or diminished by their human side.
If a werewolf lacks confidence, the spark can dim.
If a werewolf is a great leader and enjoys the confidence that comes from
the loving support of a family or pack or both, the spark will grow.
This will also allow the individual to better exploit the full potential of
the spark for strength and healing. This is true of all werewolves regardless of status.
This spark enhancement explains why we're told a pack makes you stronger,
as each member can better grow the spark to full potential.
In rare cases, the human’s natural spirit or internal energy will
enhance a little spark to full alpha status. This is called the true alpha.
For this to happen, the human must be exceptionally moral with pure
intentions and the unerring desire to do the right thing, which is why it is so rare.
As we know, most humans are terrible, petty people and could never reach this level.
This true alpha spark cannot be stolen because it is new and unique. It was mostly created
by the human’s energy and is therefore only
distantly related to the original divine spark created by Zeus.
If this true alpha chooses to share his spark, the little spark created is unique as well.
These created betas can take the true alpha spark because they are part of it,
they are compatible whereas a regular little spark is not.
