The Boys 2x7 - Poll!

Mostly likely Cindy but I think she is either working for the Stromfront/Vought or the church

I think it's some one we haven't seen yet.

StaceyJess

I think it was the Deep’s gills and that’s the reason he touch his head

Matthew’s First Name

I voted the Church, yet is it possible Storm Front has that ability? Yet if she did, wouldn't she have used or/or we would have seen her use it in the past when bashed the guy's head in? I honestly don't know...my mind is blown.

Angel Groves

Edgar giving permission to the collective makes sense because it was do or die. They never expected Vogelbaum to testify or Starlight to escape. He's just making the best of an awful situation. He's also probably not too happy that they took Homelander 2.

Cinya

This probably wasn't their first time helping Vought. Just their biggest job.

Cinya

My bet is on someone we haven’t met, that has a clear objective, but we just don’t see it yet. I’m thinking someone else out there wants homelander/vaught and doesn’t want someone else getting in their way.

KingKoopa11

I think it’s the church because the leader of the church told the deep and A-train that there would two spots open. Starlight is now with the boys and the other speedster got killed.

I don't think it's Cindy. She doesn't seem like someone that can be controlled easily so why would the let her out for a controlled hit earlier in the season? Also, she didn't know who Frenchie or MM was when she broke out at the hospital but they were right next to the CIA Director when she was killed so she would have seen them there.

Chris Skalicky

I did haha :D

Lukas

Anyone else notice the psychotic guy at the beginning of the episode was Charley Koontz A.K.A. 'Fat Neil' from Community 😄😄

Rhys Davies

One would think Cindy would target stormfront first if it was her, if it's the church not only it gives a good position to partner with vought but may even replace them

pong191

I think it was the Church because the Supe killed the chairman, Vogelbaum, some random people and then Shockwave to give the appearance that this was a random attack, but Alastair Adana (head of the Church) did want A-Train back on the Seven and squashing this trial would mean the Church would be represented in The Seven, rather than just Vought itself. The Church also has many followers, so they could have heard about Agent Raynor's investigation from someone else in the CIA.

I suppose it could be the Church, but then why would they have killed Agent Raynor earlier in the season? Whats more, wouldn't Vought have a register of every known Supe, since Vought holds the monopoly on compound V? Similarly, while Cindy's powers have the same look as the exploding head deaths, Cindy had no way of seeing Raynor at the time of her death, and I don't think Stormfront has Cindy on standby in case Stormfront or Vought needs someone's head detonated. I think that the perpetrator is Stan Edgar himself. The hearing was being broadcast on live television, so Stan would have only needed to turn on the television to view his targets. Stan Edgar is also likely one of the few people who knows the full breadth of Vogelbaum's activities while employed at Vought.

Introducing a character that can make people explode but then not have them be the person exploding people is kind of weird so I think it's Cindy. Although her choice of targets made no sense.

World's Greatest Detective

It's the fly from season 1

Queef Burglar

It felt to me more like a “We still have a card, I just don’t want to play it” in reference to Becca. You could be right tho

Liz Fritz

I think it's the church. The reason for taking out the deputy director is because she said "It's a coup." Right after she said that her head exploded. The church could be planning a coup with supes to take control of Vought. I also think, the Deep might actually know the supe who explodes heads (the reason he checked his own head after watching it happen to everyone else). And also, like everyone else says, it's a coincident Shockwave dying and the head of the church saying they can get A-Train and Deep back into The Seven. I don't think it is Edgar because when Homelander went to confront him about adding Stormfront to The Seven, he was upset about Homelander creating supe villians. If they blame the attack on supe villians, it would only add fuel to Edger's problems.

I really don't think it's Cindy because I don't see how she could of been there to blow Raynors head up in episode 1. Also every time Cindy used her power it was more of crushing stuff. She crushed that one guard, crushed the doors and crushed Frenchies bomb, and when she did all that she crushed the whole object. Here's it's only the peoples head's doing anything, and they're exploding outwards not being crushed inwards. I do think it's the church because that part of the story has yet to connect to everything else. Also Stormfront said in a previous episode that she used to be a member, so that's some kind of connection.

The Sci-Fi Slut

I would say the church, but I don't see why they would take out the deputy director earlier in the season

Nathan Mortenson

Its probably The Church. The head of the hearing died first and second the witness making Vought look bad and still stay safe. Soon after that they killed Shockwave making their bargaining position even better.

Milamber Nova

That would be a hell of a thing.

Ram

I think Stormfront took over Cindy’s power

Longway

I think it’s edgar . We haven’t seen him for a while and I think it’s intentional, maybe they showed us Cindy to get familiar with her powers and since she’s an adult power user it means she’s a successful experiment and probably have been replicated..... remember how the CIA agent said it’s a coup from the inside.

Sahar

I think Cindy was just a red herring by the writers to make us think "Oh she's the person who blows up people so it must be her" but I'd be surpised if we never saw her again, when she blew up the guard she blew his whole body up not just his head, whoever did this also did it to Reynor because her head blew up as well. My moneys on the leader of the Church, he did say he was going to get A-train and The Deep back in the Seven and now that Shockwave is gone its the perfect way for A-train to get back in

Liam C

My best guess: there are nanobot explosives, courtesy of the Church of the Collective, in every can of FRESCA

Danny King

Recon its the Church. When Shockwave's head exploded. He was on his own by the window (And the only 1 in the camera shot to avoid any confusion). I recon he was the target. I dont think anyone knew that Vogelbaum was even going to testify, Homelander looked shocked when he turned up.

Lando

I think it’s Mr. Edgar, though second choice is definitely Church of the Collective. Pretty convenient Shockwave gets taken out of the picture just as A-Trains getting cozy with the Church.

Sheebs

I'd bet that is Mr Edgar's power. See someone, reach out and kill them. We already know he has cameras in surprising places (like black noir).

Fajen Thygia

I think that it could have been caused by Edgar and vought to try and distract away from the hearings. That way they can also claim that it was caused by a supe terrorist

carlonconsole

The fact that stormfromt and homelander looked pretty confused at what was happening and they targeted a trains replacement makes me doubt they had anything to do with it

Paul Alexander

If it wasn't the church's doing they definitely knew that it was going to happen. Also it wouldn't make too much sense for this to be Cindy since the only confirmed kill from her had his whole entire body POP. It has to be someone else.

Temperistic

BUTCHERS BROTHER IS ALIVE AND POPPIN SOME HEADS

Rhys Davies

I doubt it's Vought. Its obviously somebody from Stormlander's camp. Remember that the first time we saw a head explode it was when the FBI lady was talking about a coup within Vought.

coffeemilk

I might be wrong, but by the look of Butcher's face at the end, I think he knows who did it.

RoadRaf

Not Cindy, not Vaught. When Raynor's head was popped, she was secretly meeting the Boys, Cindy would have no way of knowing anything about any of them at that point. Unless she was under Stormfront/Vought control, in which case why make Cindy pop her head and let the Boys go when that's who they've been looking for this whole time? Has to be the church, they had all that info on A-Train, when questioned how they knew, the leader said "the church knows all kinds of things." They had to be the ones tracking Raynor and the Boys with the head popper. They're definitely playing both sides. Stopping the Boys earlier when Raynor got killed would have helped Vought, but whatever info she learned on that phone call before her head popped would have helped the Boys. They have their own agenda.

Ram

I voted for Vought, but after thinking about it more it’s sort of a toss up between Alister and Edgar. Both would have a lot to gain from stopping the hearing.

The Storm103

The ending seems like it was set up to deliberately make it look like Cindy did it so they can subvert expectations for next episode. That or Cindy was used by the church maybe?

IMO Alistair (chairman of the collective) telling Deep that there were two new spaces opening up soon on the seven was strange at the time, and then to see shockwave die, and (at a reach) starlight being outed as the mole is super suspicious.

Bit random of a theory but what if it's butchers brother?

Gandulf

I think it's cindy but she is being used by the church or edger

Dip602

Edgar's, the CEO of Vought, is on trial for gross misconduct and breaking federal laws and he is no where to be found in the courtroom. Thats not a coincidence!

Erich Bomke

Alistair or Cindy wouldn't have a reason to kill Raynor, so I think it was someone at vought (Edgar?). Maybe Alistair made a deal to get A-train back in the 7 and that's why shockwave was killed. I assume that whoever is behind the attacks was given the power after they tested it on Cindy

The Church of the Collective is kind of a stretch when you try to tie them to the FBI director getting killed early in the season too

These are not random deaths

Douglas Kelley

Stormfront used to belong to the Church of the Collective so that’s a direct Vought-Collective tie. Once we figure out their history we’ll also find out who’s popping heads. Cindy is not a team player.

Bunny Norris

I cannot believe there are people who thinks it is Cindy...

Douglas Kelley

If I had to guess, I'd say it's Alistair the head of the church.

Glynn Rockwell

Doubt it's Cindy.

Conner Simpkins

Alastair said he had a meeting with Edgar so...

Nate

I think Cindy is a huge red herring and it is the church. The leader told a train that he’d be back in the 7 and the next day his replacement dies. Seems way to convenient. Also fun fact, the actor Nathan Mitchell, who plays black noir, actually does have a tree nut allergy so maybe that’s why they decided to do it like that.

I think the Cult Leader is behind it since we have seen Shockwave die he is probably a secret Supe himself and can enter people's minds that's how he knows about everyone...and he can most likely make their minds go boom haha

I'd say the church. They seem to have a long history of Supe connections. Stormfront alluded to being apart of it. "That place used to be pure. And then they started letting all kinds of people in. You know?" The church seems to actively recruit superpowered people. One of the hooks is the influence they have with Vought. It wouldn't surprise me if they had a vested interest and the supes on hand to carry out their will.

Jo

The church seems the best bet but what about congresswoman Ms Neuman!? Edit: if it was the church, then why they let Eagle the Archer live to tell the media? They could've used that power to silence him.

Irfan Malik

Going for a bold claim of Mothers Milk. Think he’s not letting on certain things and I think Vought are holding his family captive and that’s why he didn’t take up Mallory’s Offer because Vought needs him to do something for them first. Very unlikely but would be interesting

I don't think that its Cindy popping heads...i have no ideas who it it but don't think it's her. Also, did you notice The Deep grab his head when he saw that happening? I don't know if that was just a reaction or if he might have an idea what that is so he was checking.

Chris Skalicky

Cindy definitely seems like a red herring at this point. I think it's gotta be either that dude that runs the church, or Edgar.

Fyre

church of the collective I think they have a bigger goal and wants vought out of the way

spencer

I think it might be one of the hinted at hero's for next season but can't say who without giving anything away

Who ever it is I think is working with storm front and homelander given how calm they where seemed like they had this planned. I don't think Cindy is part of this as she was blowing up people fully not just their heads I feel that was done to show it someone similar but not her.

Can't remember her name, but the Deeps new wife, calling it now.

SpookyGhost

Cindy's crushing of that guard looked more like someone crushing a Capri sun than a targeted head explosion. Also it wouldnt explain who killed raynor since Cindy would have still been at the facility. Homelander and Stormfront just looked apathetic the whole time. Vought would not be able to explain how this targeted attack during their hearings wasnt at least influenced by them in anyway. Congressman then the key witness being the first to go make it too obvious even if all the others in the room were randomly killed for chaos. The Church makes the most sense but i dont think we've met the person with this ability at all as of now.

Ryuhitsuya 21

I definitely don’t think it was Vought because why would they kill their new speedster and this would only be a bad look and hurt them but I do think it was Cindy because all of the deaths seemed very random and she could possibly be looking for revenge on Stormfront

Christian Bolda

I think it's Edgar. That mans stare could make anybody's head explode sup or not

Josh Bornman

ALL OF THEM.... don’t know how but I have a feeling they are all involved

Deadpool

Gotta be the church. Outside of a few random kills All of the kills felt premeditated. If it was Cindy there probably would have been a lot more casualties.

I was thinking Cindy when they first showed her but this seems kinda strange even for her

MOB12

Maybe the church has a ploy to take down Vought, and will frame Cindy who might want revenge against Vought for experimenting on her. Dont know what the church's plans are though.

Joel

It has to be the curch. Otherwise The Deep and A-Train story would be even less relevant than we thought.

I'm gonna be honest. I have no fucking clue. I dont think its Vought and I really don't know what's up with the Church and those damn Frescas. And I don't think Cindy cares enough about these random people in the room. Im just shocked

The Das

I was thinking Cindy cause it seems like her powers but idk why she wouldn't kill stormfront then or try.

zell

I feel like they have to be leading up to something with the church. They might have killed that speedster guy for A Train.

Ethan Prendergast

Church under an agreement with Edgar

R

Definitely the church and those damn frescas
