The Boys: What Happened to Shockwave? Will He Return?
credits: Amazon Prime Video
Since The Boys has returned with its fourth season, viewers have been wondering where some of the characters they have seen in the previous seasons are. This includes Shockwave (Mishka Thébaud), a Supe speedster who was slated to replace A-Train in the superhero squad known as The Seven. Despite this, he hasn’t appeared in the series since the second season, and the viewers want to know what happened to Shockwave.
Here is everything you need to know about Shockwave’s situation in The Boys.
What happened to Shockwave in The Boys?
Shockwave was killed in Season 2 Episode 7, titled Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker, which premiered on October 2, 2020.
Toward the end of the episode, Jonah Vogelbaum, a retired Vought scientist who led the team responsible for training Homelander, appears at a Congressional hearing to testify against his former employer. However, his head explodes before he is even sworn in. Several others in the room die similarly, including Shockwave, as per Screen Rant. Ashley Barrett, who has been standing near him amidst the confusion and chaos, gets sprayed with his blood and begins screaming.
Why was Shockwave killed in The Boys Season 2?
According to Looper, Victoria Neuman was responsible for the deaths in the courtroom that day. Although the reasons behind murdering Shockwave remain unknown.
The comic book series that inspired the television show features a distinct cast of characters. Neither Shockwave nor Victoria Neuman, as depicted in the show, appear in the source material. Therefore, the comics do not explain Neuman’s actions towards Shockwave. Speculatively, her motives for eliminating the speedster, along with the other individuals present, could be two-fold. Firstly, it may have served as a diversionary tactic, drawing attention away from her true targets. Secondly, Shockwave’s powers potentially posed a threat. His speed could have allowed him to intervene and protect those Neuman intended to eliminate.
Will Shockwave return in The Boys Season 4?
No, Shockwave is unlikely to return in The Boys Season 4.
The character of Shockwave is not featured among the cast listings for the current season of The Boys on any reputable entertainment websites. This suggests that Shockwave will not be appearing in this season.
