The Boys Season 4 Finale: Butcher's Powers Are Unveiled

The Boys Season 4 Episode 8 is now out, and you have to admit that I may have just described this episode as the finest web series episode I have ever seen. In fact, it is a huge understatement given how fantastic it was. Though there was a lot of amazing things in this episode, Butcher utilizing his abilities was the standout. His abilities have been rumored for a very long time, but The Boys Season 4 Episode 8 has confirmed them.

We learn earlier in the series that Butcher tried to cure himself of his illness by taking some compound V that Frenchie had stolen. It was eventually discovered that Butcher had hallucinations of his deceased companion in The Boys Season 4. Kessler Joe, but in actuality, the disease is speaking to him and directing him.Although Butcher murdered Ezekiel, we were never shown how he accomplished it. As shown in The Boys Season 4 Episode 8, Compound V gave Butcher superpowers but also gave his disease sentience. As a result of his disease, Butcher was able to grow tentacles out of his body, which he used to murder Victoria Newman. Additionally, as the series goes on, The Boys Season 5 could reveal a Venom-esque imitation.
