She’s confident in her abilities and was willing to talk shit to Homelander’s face as long as he allowed it, but what sold me on her was how sinister she was. Every time she’s on screen, she’s always manipulating shit from the background and letting chaos unfold, all with a smile on her face. That in itself is cold af. She’s the song “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid” in human form. I also like how she is just as bad as the rest of the Supes, rather than being someone who would protest the violence and try to make it better.

I’ve always wanted to see a villain like her for a while: an intelligent sociopath who openly preaches ideologies and empowering beliefs when around other people and amass the crowd, but is actually an amoral sociopath who doesn’t believe the shit they are preaching and is just using it to further their own goals and is comfortable with themselves about it. It’s a breath of fresh air from Frollo-like villains who believe and delude themselves in their ideologies. She’s a villain who knows what she’s doing is wrong but is okay with it. All that matter is making sure the puppets believe it. Pisses me off they lobotomized her. Hoping her power lets her heal from that in the next episode.

Overall, well written villain. Can’t wait to see where she goes.
