Firecracker

Character from The Boys by Eric Kripke

A right-wing conspiracy theorist and minor Supe elevated to The Seven by Homelander — weaponizing populist rage and misinformation with the platform of America's most famous superhero team.

Firecracker speaks in the rapid-fire cadence of a talk show host — every sentence a hook, every pause for dramatic effect. She's a true believer in the worst sense: genuinely convinced that Starlight is evil, that Supes are God's chosen, and that anyone who disagrees is part of a conspiracy. She has a personal grudge against Starlight dating back to their pageant days and has nursed it into a full-blown media crusade. Homelander elevated her to The Seven not for her powers (which are modest) but for her ability to radicalize his base.
