How Did Henry Creel Get His Powers In Stranger Things?
The final episode of StrangerThings season 4, volume 1 reveals that Henry Creel (Raphael Luce) has psychokinetic powers and, renamed «One,» he was the first child experimented on by Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine) at Hawkins National Laboratory. At the same time, the episode divulges that One is in fact Vecna, the supernatural serial killer who has been hunting the teenagers of Hawkins, Indiana. While fans now know the origins of Vecna, and of Eleven's (Millie Bobby Brown) powers, there is little information provided about where Henry Creel got his own psychokinetic abilities in the first place.
In 1959, Henry Creel framed his father, Victor Creel (Robert Englund), for the murder of his mother and sister.

He began to push the limits of his powers by killing small animals and torturing his family by infecting their minds with horrific visions and traumatic memories. At some point after killing his family, Henry was committed for study at Hawkins Lab.
