President Vic.” A vocal advocate for stricter regulation of people with superpowers, Newman spoke out against Vought and found like-minded allies in Billy Butcher’s Boys, who joined him. with politicians at congressional hearings against evil company.

Ultimately, the downfall of the Storm Front resulted in Victoria Newman being appointed head of the FBSA (Federal Sublime Affairs Bureau). boys Season 3 begins with Hugh Campbell, Billy Butcher, Frenchie and Kimiko, all happily working for Neuman, bringing justice to custodians who abuse their power or cause collateral damage. happy time? Not necessarily. What the boys don’t know is that Victoria Newman is actually virtual headshots. I can’t believe this isn’t the AOC using its powers to kill Susan Raynor of the CIA, disrupt Vought’s congressional hearings, and assassinate The Collective Church’s Alastair Adana.

boys‘ The ‘Neumann is a superman’ twist raises many questions. Who does she work for? What is her goal? where’s she from? boys Season 3’s opening three episodes deal with these issues… and then some.

Explaining Victoria Newman and the Boys’ Red River

Of course, the always unlucky Hugh Campbell was the first to realize that Victoria Newman was harboring a dark secret, and he had two leads at hand – “Nadia” and “Red River”. When Starlight steals some documents from the off-screen Vault headquarters, Huey discovers that Victoria is a pseudonym and Nadia is the councilwoman’s real name. A video that Hughie found later was tagged “Nadia N”, so we can guess “Neuman” Correct her real last name. Meanwhile, Honghe is a collective home for children with superpowers. Most of Red River’s children are either orphaned (Madelyn Stillwell’s son is a resident) or given away after their superpowers begin to manifest, but through two gory photos from her profile, boys Implying that Newman blew off her biological parents’ heads. Needless to say, Red River’s acceptance rate isn’t great.

“Nadia” grew up in Red River around 1986 and had a good friend named Tony. Thanks to the discovery of a “Wanted” poster on MM’s well-organized investigative committee, we learn that Tony later became a registered police officer and his conversations with Newman confirming their growing estrangement as adults. Seeing Congresswoman Newman on TV after years of no contact prompted Tony to get in touch.

Vought has the Red River visible on his chest, with the building surrounded by a barbed wire fence and 24/7 security, but a few push of the pause button has confirmed Madeleine Steele Madelyn Stillwell as the supervisor. in the late 1990s. Because Tony begged Victoria Newman to expose him “what happened?For him, the Red River must have hidden a darker secret than a mere orphanage for superhuman children.

The Boys Season 3 Confirms Newman Is Stan Edgar’s Adopted Daughter

boys The big reveal for season 3 comes when Hughie opens a video file pulled from Red River with one of those miracle USBs that can automatically download an entire hard drive in seconds. Victoria Newman is the adopted daughter of Stan Edgar. After impressing in the Red River, Edgar finds Newman underage, who offers to take care of her like a parent. He pointed out that this is not “technique“Adopted, but only to avoid creating documentary evidence linking them. Edgar brought Newman home and became her father just like any other adoptive parent. Because the video still uses the name” Nadia”, we can assume that “Victoria” is an identity Edgar devised on his own to conceal his child’s true identity.

The relationship between Stan Edgar and Victoria Newman is complicated. On the one hand, there is a sincere father-son relationship between them. Vought’s CEO reads stories to his niece as if he were reading them to Nadia himself. After Tony’s accident, he puts his arm around Neuman to reassure her, and she responds with the mischievous admiration you’ll find in the healthiest father-son relationship. Degas’ adoption of Nadia wasn’t just a tool—she actually became his child. Having said that, Edgar certainly has ulterior motives in adopting a child from the Red River. He provides the loving home environment that Nadia has always wanted, but what does he get in return?

Stan Edgar’s adoption of Victoria Newman could confirm the Red River’s dark secret Tony hinted at. In Nadia’s adoption video, the invisible doctor says to the child, “You’ve improved a lot, that’s why you’re here. This line implies that Red River trained and honed the abilities of dangerous young Compound V subjects, allowing leader Vought to select the most useful children for his great design.

Is Neuman working for Vought?

Short answer, yes. The longer answer is Neuman’s allegiance to Stan Edgar, not Vought Corporation. We can assume that Edgar steered his daughter into politics (perhaps at the expense of adoption) and used her influence in Congress to benefit Vaughan from the start. Newman’s anti-regulatory policy may have been designed to distract suspicion — a tactic so successful that even Billy Butcher was arrested. Stan Edgar probably ordered Neuman to kill Susan Raynor because her investigation into Vought began to dig up a lot of fascinating information, and Adana because of his damaging information about all the superheroes who used to be. member of the Collective Church (Adana’s own records exposed fascism before the storm, and all after). Meanwhile, the bloody parliamentary hearings were suspended before doing any serious damage to Vought, but without affecting Victoria Neuman’s reputation as an activist. bravely against extremism.

Neuman’s promotion to the FBSA was like music to Stan Edgar. This connection allows Vought to relieve their more valuable employees of responsibility by sacrificing the little ones. In a typical case, the termites get away with blowing up another man’s urethra in exchange for a Cold Snap, a Stacker, and an Airburst, which Walter probably doesn’t care much about. Neuman assumed it was Butcher’s fault, when she was actually following her father’s orders. As an added bonus, Neuman’s FBSA gig actually means Stan Edgar chained Billy Butcher for an entire year.

What is Stan Edgar’s plan for Victoria Neuman?

Adopting a child just to have a loyal political pawn seems rather extreme, as Vought could (and probably did) bribe some MPs with cold cash. Plus, Neuman’s campaign is sure to cause some PR headaches for Vought — is it worth the trouble? And, boys Part 3 This means that no one in Vought knows the truth about Victoria Newman, except for Stan Edgar himself. Unbeknownst to the seven, Ashley was still in the dark, and if Madeleine Stillwell did, she wouldn’t.

All indications are that Stan has a larger design for Neuman that only they know, but the underlying clue may lie in boys Part 3 is out. Edgar tells Robert Singer how he plans on Vought to leave the superhero business entirely and focus instead on pharmaceuticals and defense. It may seem like an unattainable goal, but perhaps having a secret daughter in Congress can help lubricate those wheels. If Neuman could be approved for military use by the V-24, Vought would have more money than Gunpowder to build guns and the need for overgrown idiots like Homelander would cease. This of course would explain why Edgar was happy when Victoria publicly smeared her superheroes.

Later on, it seems that if Edgar adopts a child so that they become a politician, then perhaps he wants the last child to become president. When recommending the co-captain of Starlight Seven boys In season 3, Edgar explains that the real power is not superhuman abilities but the way he affects others. What could be more influential than President Victoria Newman, following her father’s bid in the Oval Office?
