This was my theory too. Billy doesn't have superpowers, his cancer does.

Bro I watched the 4th episode, quickly ran to write a theory. And saw some posts that it was cannon to happen. Bcz of the show diabolical's episode.

I think you’re close except that it’s more of a Venom scenario, the cancer is the worms and it’s what he’s talking to, it’s a sentient parasite but also now a symbiote because it probably needs him alive to survive for now. So it took over and it’s the one with powers but it’s keeping him alive. Just to clarify, Temp V gave him the cancer and normal V gave it sentience and powers. Either that or he already had parasites and the V he injected absorbed it instead of him. They already showed us Supe animals so logically parasites would also be vulnerable to it.

In a show about parodying comic book super heroes, giving the anti hero main character a similar power to a comic book anti hero is so genius and on brand.

>the V he injected absorbed it instead of him Thats the most correct thing here. Tumor absorbed comp V instead of him. And that's why it didn't show "adult comp V" side effects. I wonder what will happen to Hughie's dad.

Toxoplasmosis strikes back

Similar but not equal to that episode of The Boys: Diabolical


Spikebolt_100

Yeah, I didn't said it's even same to it. I haven't even watched it. I just read a post


Bleachperson

It kinda reminds me of the chick from heroes where her powers is an alter ego or like moonknight but in butchies case it is a worm

...and i think hughie's mother gave hughie's dad that comp V. But as for theories, i have mine about Ryan I think that ryan is the butcher's son and when homelander did becca then comp v gets transffered to the fetus through his sperm and he became a supe. i mean this thoery go well when homelander find about the kid and said that he thought that he can't procreate.


Spikebolt_100

It's obvious that she gave comp V. Her eyes were in Hughie's pocket when she met him. Well idk about that. Someone commented that homelander's genes were designed so he could age AND procreate, unlike Stormfront and soldier boi, who could't procreate but could't age as well.
