Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys has just come off one explosive season, and production is currently underway for Season 4.
The next season is set to introduce us to a bunch of new characters, and we now have a look at incoming supes Sister Sage and Firecracker. Check them out:

Based on the character descriptions, I have a feeling that Sage will have something to do with Super Speed (like A-Train) or time travel; and Firecracker will have some explosive, fire-based powers—that, or she’s a play on X-Men character Jubilee whose powers look like fireworks.
It’s unclear whether these two will have some significant role in the upcoming season, but seeing that details about them are being kept under wraps, they could end up being major players. Who knows, maybe they could be characters from the upcoming spinoff Gen V, which is said to focus on a group of heroes-in-training under the watchful eye of Vought.
The Boys has been having a phenomenal run so far, and is kind of the perfect series to poke fun at the ever-massive superhero movie franchise. After Jensen Ackles’ run as Soldier Boy in the last season, everyone is wondering what kind of other superhero sociopath showrunner Eric Kripke has under his sleeve. We know that Homelander’s son Ryan is being touted as this would-be villain, but hopefully Butcher and his team aren’t too late to save him from the brink.
No release date has been announced for the next season of The Boys.
