Biography[]

Believing WCKD is good, Teresa contacts them of her and her groups whereabouts, leading to an ambush by WCKD. Once Dr. Ava Paige arrives she greets Teresa and Thomas informs the group that Teresa is with WCKD now.

Teresa attempts to get Thomas to come with them, but he is still angry with her and refuses. But if you see in the book, she only joined WCKD to save everyone and everybody also in the film, but it's more understandable there.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

• Disease Immunity: Teresa Agnes was shown to be immune to the deadly Flare virus and its effects. In Death Cure, when Ava Paige announced that the virus was airborne in the city dozens of the people wore mouth masks to be unable to breathe it, except for Teresa due to her immune gene keeping her unaffected.

Abilities[]

• Deception Mastery: In the book, The Fever Code it was said that WCKD had never operated the swipe in Teresa's brain to had lose any of her memories before entering the Maze with Thomas and the other Gladers which meant she had still been associated with WICKED and their methods of finding a cure. When arriving in the Glade in the first film, she looked to not have known anything about her life as the others didn't but might’ve been pretending not to know as she said Thomas in the box, her own name which (usually took the boys 1 to 2 days) to remember, and in the second film, easily had all her memories restored with WCKD instantly.
• Trickery: In The Scorch Trials, she was against the idea of Thomas and the others from them leaving the WCKD facility for she agreed with their methods in finding a cure to the Flare, but knowing that Thomas would refuse going back she secretly contacted Janson to send more WICKED soldiers to her and the groups location to ambush the army resistance known as the Right Arm at their headquarters to capture the immune children for their tests. This caused a treachery with Thomas and the Gladers as they otherwise loss all their trust in her.
• Dagger Proficiency: In the Maze Runner film, Teresa seemed very skillful in using a dagger as a weapon for defense against the Grievers. When leaving the Glade to escape out of the Maze she helped Thomas and the other Gladers to fight their way through the Grivers and before going over to save Chuck from falling off the edge, she cut off a piece of the Griver's mechanical tail with ease.
• Medical Intuition/Medicine Creation: In the Death Cure, in the following months of working with WCKD she became a skilled and resourceful scientist at using the knowledge of what makes immunes like herself different from being able to withstand the Flare virus and harvesting subjects' blood to create a serum for treatments. When kidnapped by Thomas and the others to an abandoned church they had asked her to surgically remove the swipes out through their necks so WICKED couldn’t track them and she successfully performed it safely. Then after removing Thomas’s she asked how long it was since Brenda was treated with his blood, and he applied to her that when she left them in the Scorch she never needed another for the following months, so that’s when she snuck a bandage with his blood on it to bring it back for research and discovered that it was able to fully cure the effects of the virus permanently.
