After defeating them, the Avengers/Thunderbolts team departed but Patsy elected to remain in Centerville. A team composed of Avengers and Thunderbolts helped clear the town, which was apparently being victimized by a convoluted conspiracy composed of the amusement park developers, the Sons of the Serpent, and Salem's Seven. Later, after the destruction of New Salem, Scratch resurfaced in the town of Centerville as "Mayor Nicholas." The whole town of Centerville and all of its inhabitants had entered a contract as an amusement park version of "America's Heartland Next-Door." When Patsy Walker returned to visit her hometown, she discovered that the town's whole population was possessed by demons. Agatha Harkness eventually disowned Scratch as her son.
Scratch's powers were removed by Harkness, leaving him as a normal human being. He had Salem's Seven takeover New Salem, but was defeated by Agatha Harkness and Gabriel, Devil Hunter. From the Dark Realm, he later took mental possession of Franklin Richards. He attempted a world conquest, but was thwarted and confined to the Dark Realm by Agatha Harkness. įrom the Dark Realm, Scratch restored the Salem's Seven's powers and took mental control of the Fantastic Four. The New Salem community then exiled him and banished him to a dimension known as the Dark Realm. Outraged, Scratch attacked, swaying the community against him. They countered Scratch's claims against Harkness by explaining that they hadn't known of New Salem until Scratch's actions made them aware of it. Although initially defeated and captured, the Four escaped and confronted Scratch at Harkness's trial, where all of the New Salem community was present. They also abducted Franklin Richards in the process, which then caused the Fantastic Four to follow them back to New Salem.

The New Salem witches then abducted Agatha for her trial and execution. Scratch, now a warlock, became the leader of New Salem and brought the community to believe that it had been betrayed by Harkness through her dealings with the outside world. Scratch fathered seven children, who would come to be known as Salem's Seven.
Agatha left the reclusive community to live among normal people, and in time even became a nanny to Franklin Richards, son of Reed and Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four.
