Silver Kincaid Killing Victoria Neuman Is A Classic The Boys Plot Twist. The Boys doesn't always follow the comic book storylines, such as that of Becca Butcher's brutal death, and this is for good reason.
First arriving in The Boys season 2, Neuman was shockingly revealed as the head-popping supe who took out Jonah Vogelbaum, Alastair Adana, and more. We assumed Victoria Neuman's powers were simply making people's heads explode, but Gen V just confirmed she shares the same haemokinetic skillset as Marie.
In case that doesn't make sense to you, Neuman injected her daughter Zoe (Olivia Morandin) with Compound V, the substance that turns people into Supes, in The Boys Season 3.
Victoria Neuman is able to cause a nosebleed in Starlight without actually causing her head to explode. Later, Victoria showcased a more direct form of blood manipulation by cutting her palm and making her blood levitate from the wound, the same method typically used by Marie Moreau.
Summary. Gen V hints that Marie Moreau is more powerful than Victoria Neuman. Marie has shown more versatility with her blood manipulation abilities, using it as a physical weapon and preventing blood loss. Marie has the potential to grow and develop her powers further, as she is still new to being a supe.
Although Homelander is one of the main antagonists of the comic series, he is not killed by his archenemy Billy, but is instead killed by Black Noir. His name literally means "A person from one's homeland". It is suggested that the homeland he's born from would be America (due to his outfit).
Black Noir, the clone of Homelander, is the only character to canonically beat Homelander in a fight, making him the one Supe who can do the impossible.
Victoria manipulating Marie Moreau so that she goes her way. Victoria Neuman, born Nadia and also known as the Head Popper, is the secondary antagonist of the 2019 Amazon series The Boys and one of the overarching antagonists of its 2023 spin-off series Gen V.
We've been seeing Victoria Neuman blow people's heads up for two full seasons on The Boys, but we finally learn how she's been doing it in Episode 7 of Gen V, titled "Sick." As it turns out, she's got the same Magneto-esque, blood-bending power that Marie does.
Following Noir's death in the third season finale of the main series, Eric Kripke confirmed in July 2022 that Noir's actor Nathan Mitchell would portray a replacement Black Noir in the upcoming fourth season of the series; describing the character as a "whole new" and "really interesting and hilarious character".
Acquiring a supe-killing virus gives Neuman the ability to overpower even the strongest supes like Homelander if the need arises in the future. How she will get her enemy supes in contact with the virus is yet to be seen. She will likely ensure that no one else learns about her secret weapon.
Victoria Neuman is a dangerous antagonist in The Boys, arguably even more so than Homelander. While her powers have always been assumed to be confined to blowing up heads, Gen V confirms that she's way more powerful than even this. She can do everything Marie can but better, as she's honed her powers for years.
The Homelander (John Gillman) is one of the main antagonists of the comic book series The Boys and the media franchise of the same name, created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
After his mother got killed accidently by his heat vision he felt great guilt and sadness over her death and felt even more uneasy about his powers and after seeing his dad covered in blood he became scared of him and having nightmares of Homelander killing everything and everyone and Ryan himself.
While there's no denying the depravity of Homelander, Butcher is the darker character - mostly because he's shown to fully understand how evil his choices actually are, and yet continue regardless.
In the comics, Black Noir is a long-time member of the Seven, almost always shown in silhouette with his face obscured. His powers include super strength and supposed skills as a pilot. He is stronger than even Homelander; Mother's Milk states he can "[...] bench a dozen Mack trucks".
After his most recent dalliance with Homelander, Soldier Boy is captured by CIA black ops agent Billy Butcher and brutally tortured and murdered by him for information on Homelander's recent activities.
In Dear Becky, set twelve years after Butcher's death, Hughie is sent Butcher's diary by an unknown individual, leading him to confront his past actions and killing Butcher.
The brain damage he suffered at the hands of the powerful Solder Boy impacted his ability to talk, but his understanding of language is intact. His emotions are a different story, however. The trauma of his experience has rendered Black Noir an undisputed psychopath.
In the finale, released on Prime Video on Thursday night, Homelander (Antony Starr) ruthlessly killed Black Noir by shoving his hand through his chest and ripping out his organs. "I don't think we walked into the finale knowing we were gonna do it," Kripke said.
Homelander Is Stronger, But Starlight's Powers Are More Diversified. Homelander's sheer strength will likely never be matched by another supes in The Boys. Maeve and Black Noir, who are far stronger than most supes on the show, little could do against Homelander – and the same can be said about Soldier Boy.
Kripke has also explained that when in a fit of rage, Ryan is even more powerful than his father. "The strength of Ryan's lasers — which were surprisingly powerful — are way more powerful than even Homelander's when Ryan gets angry enough," he told TV Guide.
Hughie. Hughie certainly is the most good-hearted character among all (considering that a huge majority of them are either deeply rotten or have vague, ambiguous morals). He cares about people and not just the people he loves.
