The Boys just brought back its most terrifying superhero
One of The Boys’ longest unresolved plot threads was finally addressed in the Season 4 finale, as we finally saw the terrifying supe Cindy again.
It came at the end of a shocking finale forThe BoysSeason 4, which saw the show’s various heroes at theirlowest points. In one surprising moment, Hughie and Starlight are both attacked, and things look particularly dire.
That’s becauseHomelander‘s array ofdeputized supesincludes Cindy, who was last seen in Season 2’s The Bloody Doors Off. Cindy was a patient at the Sage Grove Center who was being used as a test subject for Compound V. Infamously, she escaped the facility at the end and was last seen hitchhiking down a highway.
The absence of Cindy since Season 2 was a huge question mark for fans. She was demonstrated to be incredibly powerful, even by The Boys’ standards. No one is sure what she was up to in the interim, but a Seven on 7 webisode did hint at her becoming a serial killer, whom Black Noir was sent to deal with.
Cindy is a telekinetic who is shown to have remarkable control over her powers. In her first appearance, she makes a security guard who shoots at her implode with a wave of her hand and crushes several metal doors simultaneously to free the Sage Center’s other inmates.
She appears to be just as strong in her return, throwing a boat at Hughie and Starlight. We don’t actually get to see her fight, though, with Starlight managing to escape as Hughie is captured.
The next season of The Boys will be the last, so it’s fitting that we finally see Cindy’s story come to a close. Considering that The Boys has already teased thereturn of Soldier Boyand a massive showdown between Homelander andBilly Butcher, it could be an all-out season of chaos when Season 5 finally releases.
