T<\/span>he Boys<\/em> released on Amazon Prime Video earlier this month, with another season of exploring what could possibly go wrong when superheroes are more popular celebrities, more powerful than politicians and more revered than Gods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first season gave audiences a face to hate, in the form of Homelander, a \u201cSupe\u201d with some of the most questionable ethics we\u2019ve seen on TV. And still, somehow, in the second installment, they\u2019ve managed to produce something worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stormfront debuted as the newest member of \u201cThe Seven\u201d this season \u2014 a social media darling, who on the face of it, is outspoken, idealistic, and categorically \u201cGen Z\u201d. But over the first few episodes, she turns out to be more like the monster under your bed your parents warned you about when you wouldn\u2019t eat dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the \u201cSupes\u201d are finally taken to task for all the war-crimes committed in the first series, Stormfront, and her team of meme-makers, have come in to remind us that The Boys<\/em> is a critique of a generation hooked on to social media \u2014 one that is influenced by jingoism, and always willing to follow the leader. But that\u2019s just one indicator that Stormfront is actually one of the most evil superheroes to have ever been written. Here are six more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s Manipulative\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memes speak louder than words \u2014\u00a0at least in a Universe where superheroes can do no wrong, and popularity ratings are currency. Stormfront capitalises on this really well. With her power to sway mass opinion, and use social media to push an agenda, there really isn\u2019t telling how far she\u2019ll have to go, before her fans realise she\u2019s a monster. This enables her to get away with almost anything \u2014\u00a0which, in this case, is not ideal, because…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s Racist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comics describe Stormfront as a former Nazi general who never died during the war. But the show hasn\u2019t gotten that far into Stormfront\u2019s backstory just yet. All we know for now is that, far from her social media persona, Stormfront is actually racist. This hate for people of colour comes through several times in the show\u2019s first five episodes, in scenes that audiences are bound to find shocking. In fact, Stormfront\u2019s behaviour is so questionable that\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She Even Intimidates Homelander<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who\u2019s seen the first season of The Boys<\/em> will know Homelander is not one to be messed with. He kills innocents with no remorse, manipulates superheroes into doing what he wants, and has kidnapped the wife of the show\u2019s protagonist, Billy Butcher. Still somehow, Stormfront has emerged as the one person who can creep even the most evil man on TV out. Plus she has no regard for authority whatsoever, essentially making her Homelander\u2019s most likely nemesis (or, God forbid, ally?).

No one knows what Stormfront’s true agenda is because no one really knows anything about her.<\/blockquote>
She\u2019s Not on Anyone\u2019s Side<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason we can\u2019t tell whether she\u2019s a friend or an enemy is because Stormfront appears to have no allegiances, except to her doting followers. She rejects all appeals for friendship from Starlight, \u201cThe Seven\u2019s\u201d previous social media darling, who actually believes in all the values Stormfront stands for. But, at the same time, she also seems to reject Homelander and Vought\u2019s authority, insisting that men have had their way for too long. After five episodes, it\u2019s pretty clear that Stormfront isn\u2019t really on anyone\u2019s side. Which, really, just ensures that…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s (Virtually) Undefeatable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the comics, Stormfront is described as the second-most powerful superhero in the Universe, only behind Homelander. And, in the show, too, she displays powers that would put other members of \u201cThe Seven\u201d to shame. While some, such as \u201cDeep\u201d, have already proven to be quite useless (all he does is talk to fish), Stormfront has the ability to shoot plasma fields from her palms, destroying anything in sight. And then there\u2019s also the minor point that\u2026 Well, let\u2019s just say she doesn\u2019t break easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She Has Secrets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of the superheroes in \u201cThe Seven\u201d, barring maybe Starlight, are particularly \u201cgood\u201d. Still, they aren\u2019t exactly worried about being exposed as evil either. Each one of them reveals their hand too early in the series, which often comes back to bite them, either through a drop in \u201cpopularity ratings\u201d or in the form of Billy Butcher\u2019s \u201cBoys\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Stormfront is a little different. No one knows what her true agenda is because no one really knows anything about her. The five episodes so far point that she\u2019s hiding a secret that may, by the end of the series, make her the least-liked character on TV today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly, The Boys<\/em> has proved this season that no matter how bad things seem, there\u2019s always someone or something worse standing on the sidelines. Catch up with the series on Amazon Prime Video<\/a>, and it\u2019ll soon become apparent that not all those who wear capes are heroes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
