The Boys fans surprised to learn one Season 4 supe seemingly can’t be killed
Prime VideoAll supes have their weaknesses (except, perhaps, Homelander), but The Boys Season 4 reveals Victoria Neuman is seemingly indestructible.
Victoria Neuman becomes a formidable main antagonist for Season 4, having been revealed to be a supe back in Season 2. She can control anyone’s blood, and has notably used it to explode her target’s head.
She also has super strength, super hearing, and durability. But fans were surprised by just how durable Victoria is in a scene in The Boys Season 4 Episode 1.
The Boys try to pull a fast one on Neuman by switching her eye drops with acid. But Kimiko and Frenchie are thwarted by Neuman’s daughter, who’s revealed to also be a supe herself.
Having heard the disturbance, Neuman goes to talk to Hughie in their recon van. During the conversation, Hughie throws the rest of the acid from the thermos on her, and it does absolutely nothing. In fact, Neuman is seemingly more concerned with her suit being ruined than being drenched in acid.
This leaves an opening for Butcher to sneak up next to her and hold her at gunpoint. To everyone’s surprise, a gunshot to the head also does nothing and instead ricochets into the van.
Neuman, it would seem, is durable enough that she can’t be harmed by bullets or acid. Fans were thoroughly impressed with Neuman so far.
Viewers were shocked, with one saying, “That acid wasn’t sh*t or the shot to the head HELLO? Durability is insane.”
“The acid and gun shot being nothing towards her yeah no one’s touching Victoria Neuman,” commented another.
But fans also couldn’t help but compare Neuman’s abilities to Marie Moreau from Gen V. Marie is the main protagonist of The Boys spinoff series with the same abilities to control blood.
Fans are speculating that with the full scope of Neuman’s indestructible powers, and her connection to Marie and Red River, Marie has yet to realize her full abilities. With Gen V heading into a new season, Marie’s storyline will expand even further.
The Boys Season 4 will stream new episodes on Amazon Prime Video. You can read our recap of Episode 2, why fans don’t understand Starlight’s powers, the series ending after Season 5, and new TV series to stream.
