The second season of The Boys has recently wrapped and it certainly delivered on all of the hype it had coming into it. Part of the reason that the Amazon Prime series has been so successful is that it continues to subvert everyone’s expectations and deliver shocking moments.

The first season was filled with scenes that startled viewers. The Boys felt like nothing else on television anywhere. Season two had the tough task of following that up even though fans knew to expect something wild. As difficult as that was, the second season managed to pull out some great plot twists.

10 A-Train Gets Back In The Seven, Not The Deep

At the end of season one, The Deep (Chace Crawford) had been exiled to Sandusky, Ohio due to his sexual assault on Starlight (Erin Moriarty). While he wasn’t officially out of The Seven, it was clear when he met up with the team in season two that he wasn’t being welcomed back.

Most of The Deep’s season two arc focused on him rehabilitating his image with the Church of the Collective and trying to get back into The Seven. He even recruited A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) into the Church. So, when the finale came and someone was returning to The Seven, it was a shock that it would be A-Train and not The Deep.

9 Susan’s Head Explodes

The Boys certainly doesn’t shy away from the gory or the gruesome. That was the case during the season two premiere, “The Big Ride.” In it, Hughie (Jack Quaid) convinced the rest of The Boys to meet up with Susan Raynor (Jennifer Esposito), the Deputy Direct of the CIA.

Considering her recurring role in season one, nobody expected her to die so soon. Just as she started to put important pieces together, her head randomly blew up. At the time, nobody understood it but it played a major part in some vital storylines of the season.

8 A-Train Helps Annie & Hughie

The rivalry between A-Train and Annie/Starlight was a major plot point of season two. They battled at the end of season one until he had a heart attack. When he returned, he threatened to tell on her relationship with Hughie and what she was doing with Compound V.

He also blamed her for “messing with the money.” A-Train’s issues with Hughie go even further back, as he was the one who killed Hughie’s ex-girlfriend Robin. So, it came as a true surprise when he showed up to give them valuable information against Vought at the last minute.

7 How To Stop Black Noir

The most mysterious character on the show is easily Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell). Nothing is really known about him, from his origins to what he looks like to his motivations to the extent of his powers. Season two gave him a larger role, especially with some violent scenes.

At times, Black Noir seemed like he was unstoppable. He ripped someone’s face in half, killed several people, and beat The Boys and Starlight with relative ease. Hilariously, Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott) stopped him by simply feeding him an Almond Joy because he has a bad nut allergy.

6 The Identity Of The Supe-Terrorist

When season one wrapped, it was revealed that Homelander (Anthony Starr) injected various terrorists with Compound V, thus creating supe-terrorists. Season two saw The Boys have to deal with the arrival of one who was smuggled in by some of Frenchie’s (Tomer Capon) friends.

The Boys went after this terrorist, only to discover that he was actually Kenji Miyashiro (Abraham Lim), the younger brother of Kimiko/The Female (Karen Fukuhara). The surprise was an emotional one made all the more heartbreaking when he met his end so soon after.

5 Liberty’s Identity

In “Nothing Like It In The World,” Annie joined Hughie and Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso) on a trip to North Carolina to find out more about a supe named Liberty. She was around in the 1970s but hadn’t been seen in decades. When they arrived, they learned a disturbing truth.

Liberty had brutally killed a man simply because he was Black. She made racist comments as she did it, too. Then, the woman recounting the story explained that Liberty was still around, except now she was going by the name Stormfront (Aya Cash). It was a true shocker that proved the series had a major new villain around.

4 The Hearing

A lot of the season dealt with the idea that Vought Industries would have to pay for their sins. From allowing supes to run amok to the Compound V scandal, they were in trouble. A hearing was called where Congresswoman Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) would go against them.

Neuman also had a key witness in Jonah (John Doman). Then, the hearing was shockingly attacked by whatever killed Susan Raynor earlier in the season. Heads exploded all over the courtroom, including those of Vogelbaum and Shockwave in a truly stunning scene.

3 Lamplighter’s Story

When Starlight first joined The Seven in season one, it was said that she was replacing Lamplighter (Shawn Ashmore). He was finally seen in season two, now working as an orderly at the Sage Grove psychiatric hospital. Frenchie revealed that he had burned children to death in their past.

Viewers also saw him light up a patient at Stormfront’s request. He seemed just as bad as the worst of The Seven. However, it came as a true surprise when he told his side of things. He never meant to kill the kids and he agreed to work with The Boys as a witness against Vought.

2 Stormfront’s Past

Fans got their first look at who Stormfront really was in the third episode, “Over The Hill With The Swords Of A Thousand Men.” She slaughtered several minorities and said racist things to Kenji as she murdered him. The reveal that she was Liberty only added to it.

However, nobody saw it going nearly as deeply as it did. Stormfront explained to Homelander just how old she was. She was the first successful Compound V subject and the widow of Frederick Vought, founder of the company. On top of that, she was an actual Nazi, explaining her racist attitude.

1 Source Of Head Explosions

As noted, Susan Raynor and various people at the Vought hearing were the victims of having their heads blown up. Fans had many theories. There was the possibility that it was Cindy, an unstable Sage Grove patient with similar abilities. There was also a theory that it was someone in the Church of the Collective since Shockwave (A-Train’s replacement) was a victim.

However, that all changed when Alastair Adana (Goran Višnjić), the head of the church, had his head blown up in the finale. Then, it was revealed that Congresswoman Victoria Neuman was the one who did it. Considering her fight against supes, nobody thought she was one herself, especially one who has killed so often.
