Stormfront theories/questions - Potential SPOILERS
So I'm left with some questions about the newest member of the Seven, mostly based on post-ep 3 research. I mainly looked all this up because I was 100% a fan and then 100% hated her and that pissed me off.
- How old is she really?
- Pippi Longstalking Halloween costume (seems a little "old fashioned")?
- Lady Liberty connection?
- Is she a Nazi? (Quick comment to Homelander about blue eyes, SS lightning bolts on posters at her "rally" in the trailer)
- Vought (the actual guy) personal project?
- Why would a Black man hire a white supremacist? Does he know?
Comments
I bet that not only does Edgar know she is racist but it was his idea to get that demographic on board. He is obviously not above shoving his morals aside for the almighty dollar.
My theory is that Stormfront's real ability is power absorption, similar to Rogue from X-Men.
the Pippi Longstocking reference, along with the "I changed with the times" quote seems to imply that she actually is old
Stormfront appears to rival Homelander in power, but somehow nobody has heard of her before? Like Liberty wasn't as big of a deal in 1970 as Homelander is now???
She refers to her mom as Adele? Others have speculated that Adele is actually her daughter.
no other super hero displays anti-aging abilities. A-Train and his predecessor Marathon have been said to be past their peak. And many supes just look older than the 30-ish that Stormfront seems to be.
Liberty appears to have blond hair in the flash back, and does not display either flight or lightning powers.
All other Supes' names seem to be related to their powers somehow, but if Libery=Stormfront, what the fuck does Liberty have to do with lightning?
in the most recent episode she tells Starlight something like, "I'm going to enjoy using you"
she comments about Homelander's blue eyes
So yeah, my theory is she's an analog to Parasite from DC Comics. She started out as a blond haired blue eyed hero with generic strength powers, hence the name Liberty (an analog to Captain America). Each time she absorbs someone's powers she takes their youth and part of their appearance. She also becomes more powerful overall, so she's grown from a B-tier Supe fighting crime in the middle of nowhere, to a member of the 7.
As a white supremacist, she's eying Starlight and Homelander because she wants their hair and eye genes. And she wants to start an "Army of Supes", because that way she will have more people whose powers she can absorb.
It looks like a lot of plot is going to be crammed into 3 episodes but I am really enjoying this show and I have faith it will be entertaining to the end.
