Wednesday Season 2 Still Has A Big Addams Family Mystery To Solve After Pugsley’s New Powers Reveal
season 2 will take a closer look at the Addams Family and their unique gifts, but one family member remains an enigma. After its initial release on Netflix shattered records in 2022, Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega, is returning for season 2 in 2025. And while fans can’t wait to see Ortega return to Nevermore to wreak more mayhem and mischief, things will be different since Wednesday is not returning alone. With her younger brother Pugsley also in attendance, this season is certain to be more of a family affair.
In fact, the trailer revealed many of the rest of the Addams Family appearing in this season alongside Wednesday, and even provided a glimpse into the strange and mysterious powers other members of the family possess. Season 1 revealed that Wednesday is a psychic, whose powers allow her to communicate with the dead, see visions of the past, and make things happen with just her mind. And Pugsley appears to possess powers that allow him to conduct and wield electricity. But not all the Addams Family’s powers have been revealed.
Wednesday Season 2 Needs To Reveal What Gomez’s Powers Are
Gomez Is The Only Addams Without Powers Revealed So Far
As far as powers are concerned, it appears that the Addams all have special gifts, and in most instances, they appear to be genetic. For Wednesday, her psychic powers appear to be passed down from her mother, who similarly experiences visions. And for Pugsley, his electric conductivity and discharge is also a power that he shares with his uncle Fester. But Gomez, Wednesday’s father, has not showcased any distinct powers thus far in the series.
It is possible that he could also have electric powers, like his brother Fester Addams, and his son Pugsley, but nothing in the series has suggested this is the case. Despite this, he was a student at Nevermore, which suggests he possesses some supernatural gift, and resides in this world filled with monsters and mysterious creatures. It’s also possible that the show is reserving revealing his powers to highlight them in an important moment during season 2. But it would be odd for the patriarch of the family to have no special gifts when all of his relatives do.

Gomez Addams Has A Unique Skillset
The introduction of powers for the Addams Family is a fairly novel concept that has been incorporated into the Netflix series. However, it does appear that the powers chosen have some relevance to the previous iterations. For instance, Fester was frequently seen playing with electricity in other shows and films, but in Wednesday, he now has the power to generate electricity.

The trailer for Wednesday season 2 revealed countless hints about what the next installment holds, including 1 gag from the 1960s Addams Family show.
Gomez has often been depicted as a master swordsman, and someone who has near superhuman reflexes, and this has already been hinted at in Wednesday season 1. When Wednesday saw her parents in a vision at Nevermore during their school days, she saw Gomez wielding a sword. This could suggest that he has some supernatural gift as a swordsman and duelist, but that remains to be seen. However, it does seem likely that season 2 of Wednesday will dive deeper into the powers that the other Addams Family members possess in order to expand their characters and reveal why they are a part of the outcast group.
