The Boys
The Boysseason 2 introduced two new supes with incredibly dangerous ( and peculiarly similar ) index , direct many to hypothecate that Congresswoman Victoria Neuman ( Claudia Doumit ) and get away Sage Grove affected role Cindy ( Ess Hödlmoser ) could be sis . WhileVictoria Neuman inThe Boysseason 3 endingwas in the run to become the vice president , Cindy was n’t even mentioned in the third season . AfterThe Boys ' season 2 finale revealed that Victoria was the supe creditworthy for many wicked head explosion , the third time of year saw Victoria becoming a scoundrel potentially more serious than Stan Edgar ( Giancarlo Esposito ) - who could be the forefather of both Victoria and Cindy .
Cindy was first introduced when the Boys investigated Sage Grove Center , a psychiatrical adroitness where Vought was experimenting with the effects of Compound V on grownup subjects , in an effort to stabilize the drug so that anyone could safely utilise it to give themselves major power . Former Seven memberLamplighter ( Shawn Ashmore)was utilise as a nurse at Sage Grove , to bump off subjects who had outlive their usefulness and burn the evidence . The patients at Sage Grove were sent there due to mental unwellness , and then cut off from contact with their mob , with their deaths officially write off as self-annihilation . After Lamplighter accidentally burn through the door of her electric cell , Cindy escape and freed the ease of the patients at Sage Grove . Cindy was eventually knocked out by Stormfront ’s ( Aya Cash ) electric power , but Cindy also rapidly recovered and was last seen buck a drive to freedom .

The Boysshowrunner Eric Kripke has confirmed that Cindy will return in the time to come , but this has n’t happened yet , and the inquiry of Cindy ’s relation to Victoria also has n’t been resolved . With unsealed motif and armed with terrifyingly irregular powers from theeffects of Vought ’s Compound V , Cindy is a major wild scorecard — and Victoria herself is in spades one of the more mysterious characters inThe Boys . Here ’s why Cindy and Victoria Neuman could be sisters .
Compound V Effects Vary From Person To Person
Compound V was created by Vought founder Frederick Vought . The first unforced Compound V receiver was Vought ’s married woman , Stormfront , who developed powers of trajectory , near - invulnerability , and electrical energy propagation . The drug appear to cause permanent genetic mutation , which is why Homelander ’s Word Ryan ( Cameron Crovetti ) has the same powers as his founder despite never being given Compound V. The experiment at Sage Grove were geared towards refining Compound V ’s effects . ease up Phoebe to babies reliably produces supes , but in adults has varying outcome . As Lamplighter put it , " Sometimes you get powers , sometimes you get a junkie , sometimes you just burst . " Sometimes , it results in sinewy telekinesis comparable toEleven and Vecna fromStranger Things — as pick up in both Cindy and Victoria .
Notably , the more coarse effects of Compound V let in increase strength and durability . Starlight hold up a .50 calibre sniper bullet to the chest like it was barely an inconvenience , while Black Noir survived an explosion that destroyed most of a construction with only a few burns . Kimiko , aka The Female , bring around from a wound that should have been fateful in a subject of seconds . Beyond that , there ’s a big hand of variation . Some supes have alone or unusual traits like Popclaw ’s bony retractable claw and the Deep ’s talent for talking to fishes , but others have more oft pass powers like super - speed ( A - Train is under atmospheric pressure from being in such a competitive category ) . genetic science are the most potential account for this variation , which signify that super - powered sibling could terminate up with the same abilities .
Cindy and Victoria Neuman Have Similar Powers
BeforeThe Boys ' time of year 2 finalerevealed that Victoria Neuman was the supe who had been detonate forefront , the popular lover theory was that Cindy was responsible for , with Vought perhaps smuggling her out of Sage Grove to do their dictation . Cindy could have simply been introduced as a red Clupea harangus , but the similarity between her and Victoria ’s powers is interesting . They ’re not exactly the same — Victoria specifically point heads and causes them to explodeScanners - style , whereas Cindy uses her powers to crush hoi polloi so that they implode ( with a similar splutter effect ) . Given that Cindy is understandably unstable , they could really have the same powers , with Victoria having check to operate hers better . More importantly , while their powers are standardized to one - anothers , almost no supes inThe Boyshave display remotely similar abilities , suggesting Telekinesis is n’t a common Compound - V gift .

One potential job with this possibility is that we ’ve already seen one set of siblings affect by Compound V inThe boy — Kimiko and her brother , Kenji . While Kimiko ’s abilities are restrict to super - strength , heightened lightness , and enduringness , Kenji developed telekinetic powers . This could be explained by Compound Phoebe only make similar power sets in sibling in some case or , instead , Cindy could be Victoria Neuman ’s girl rather than her sis . The congressman remark hold a girl during a news broadcast , and Stormfront evidence that supes do n’t always mature like normal hoi polloi , so Victoria could be much older than she appears .
What Are Victoria Neuman’s Motives?
After Victoria outmaneuver and publically disgraced Stan Edgar inThe Boysseason 3 , it ’s exonerated that she has more up her arm than just secretly working for Vought while publically protesting the troupe . In many way , Victoria ’s electric arc is similar to Stormfront ’s appointment to the Seven . When the truth about Compound V was made public , Stormfront rail off against Vought at rally - arrive at the reliance of multitude who had lost faith in the company itself . Likehow Stormfront manipulate the public , Victoria has been doing essentially the same thing , though she ’s appealing to a very dissimilar bunch and has become more successful than Stormfront ever was . An obvious analog for existent - life-time U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio - Cortez , Neuman is Vought ’s way of gaining ascendancy over a immature , reform-minded demographic who distrust pot and unfeignedly believe in the power of government to change things - people like Hughie , for exercise .
So , if Cindy is Victoria ’s babe ( or half - baby , to explicate why one babe is mixed race and the other is not ) , does that mean that the congressman sold out her own kinsfolk to Vought ? Potentially , yes . Even before one ofThe Boysseason 3 ’s biggest twists , in which Victoria struck a wad with Homelander and publically betrayed Stan Edgar , Victoria already turn up how far she would go to pursue her personal goal . In fact , Victoria was ruthless enough to explode the head of her own staff phallus during the congressional earshot plan of attack , just to make it expect like she was a victim of the attack along with everyone else . Everyone that Victoria has vote down so far has move Vought and herself further away from being exposed . Victoria also killed Susan Raynor ( Jennifer Esposito ) when she got nigh to the truth about the emerging " superintendent - terrorists , " Jonah Vogelbaum ( John Doman ) before he could bear witness against Vought , and alsoChurch of the corporate leader Alastair Adana(Goran Visnjic ) after he told her that he had enough dirt on Vought to put down the company .
Cindy having a personal vendetta of revenge against Victoria Neuman would sure as shooting make things interesting forThe Boysseason 4 , as this would potentially make her an friend to the Boys . Moreover , unlike Kimiko , Cindy does n’t seem interested in limiting the carnage triggered by her powerfulness . This means that the Boys may front a difficult choice of whether to put Cindy down , or allow her run free to bring mayhem on Vought or Victoria inThe Boysseason 4 .

The onlyThe Boysepisode Cindy featured in definitely gave her way more screen time than seems necessary if she was just a one - off appearance . AsHomelander ’s team inThe Boysseason 4is bound to get stronger and even more malefic , Cindy would be a fine addition either to The Seven or the Boys . Even if Cindy is n’t Victoria Neuman ’s baby , there ’s still dire need for some closure with this intriguing and unbelievably severe supe , peculiarly after viewers last saw Cindy being let slack on an unsuspicious world . interrogatively , despite Cindy being seemingly ineffective to master her powers or have any social skills , sje has managed to keep quiet and out of Vought ’s radio detection and ranging ( as far asThe Boyshas break , at least ) .
Whether Cindy is in Vought ’s custody or is still out there somewhere , she ’s a ticking time bomb that ’s tie down to explode soon . It ’s possible thatThe Boysseason 3 made no reference of Cindy because her homecoming is being earmark forThe Boysseason 4 .
