New season of The Boys and new arrivals at Vought: the Seven team, after some moments of difficulty in the previous season, is complete and the new entries have already captured a lot of attention. Firecracke seems to be among the decisive characters of The Boys 4 but did you know that her character is inspired by a real person?
If the Prime Video show has always maintained several references to the company, the season four reflects the United States presidential elections more than ever who instead see the threatening looming of Patriot and Victoria Neuman in the show. And so even the references for the characters were rather oriented towards politics.
Firecrake is no exception and as confirmed by showrunner Eric Kripke, Super was modeled on Marjorie Taylor Greene (American politician and avid supporter of Donald Trump ed.): “The idea came from ‘Hey, isn’t Marjorie Taylor Greene scary?’ – Kripke told Variety – It’s just that kind of personality. For example, you had Trump, but now you have Trump sympathizers who are trying to outdo each other in how outrageous, sexualized, gun-toting, and slavishly obedient they can be. And that very idea that wouldn’t just begin and end with Patriot – the showrunner emphasizes – but we wanted to create these spores that develop into these other characters, and she’s a version of that.”.
What else does the future hold for Firecrake in The Boys universe? We’ll just have to wait to find out as the fourth season of The Boys is under attack from haters on Rotten Tomatoes.
