Marie reversed death itself Homelander is SCREWED🤣
When Sage said that she got Cipher a present she was talking about Annabeth! She knew that killing her would help Marie level up her powers even faster!
I need Cipher, Stan Edgar and Homelander to have a scene by the end of The Boys. All that energy would be insane on screen lol
Hamish Linklater is absolutely killing it in this role and now I need him to interact with Antony Starr
The reason I feel like female Jordan has more chemistry with Marie could either be that male Jordan is usually cold and defensive while Female Jordan is more emotional and understanding which makes the tone of the scene they share much more different or more likely majority of the sexual tension scenes are usually shared between female Jordan and Marie more so than Male Jordan in s2.
Clearly, the real Cipher wants Marie to heal his body in the tank.
Marie's powers are a lot like the X-Men character Elixir. He's an Omega level mutant with the ability to manipulate organic matter. He can drain life from people or give people life, he can boost mutant abilities or restore abilities to mutants who have lost them, he can cure disease and remove chemicals from people's bodies, he can resurrect people, he can also resurrect himself. He's one of the most powerful mutants with godlike control over life and biology.
Sage definitely brought Annabeth to the prison for Cipher as her “gift to speed things up”

I have a theory. After watching what Marie did, it feels like Marie and Victoria don’t actually share the same power, which I always suspected was different. Victoria’s ability seems more like hemokinesis, since all she’s ever done is rupture, burst, or manipulate blood flow when she has a direct visual target. Marie, on the other hand, just proved she must have biokinesis when she fully healed and brought her sister back to life after her throat was slit, something hemokinesis alone could never do. To me, that’s even more proof that Victoria is a restricted version of Marie, limited only to blood, whereas Marie can affect entire biological systems such as healing, regeneration, and possibly even reviving life.
