Spoilers If you havent seen the show or read the comic.After the head exploding episode from Friday, I've seen numerous theories and speculation on who exactly Stan Edgar is. Some think he's a Supe with head explosion powers, others say he's Frederick Vought himself who is Stormfront's husband. None of that makes sense to me because Stan Edgar is Black or at least Hispanic. It could be that when he took Compound V it turned him black like a The Boys version of Red Skull. Could be.In season 2 episode 1 when Raynor was saying "its a coup from the inside" right before her head exploded, I believe she was talking about inside Vought. I think in the season finale it will be revealed that Vought has been going through a fight within the company and the fight is between Vought board members, and Stormfront and other Nazis trying to take over the world using supes.The narrative that Edgar lays out to Homelander is Frederick Vought defected to America, perfected Compound V, and created the first superheroes to help win the war. Stormfront says she was given the first successful Compound V injection.I believe the truth maybe that Frederick Vought was in love with Stormfront she was his wife. He perfected Compound V and gave it to her because he didn't truly believe in the Nazis goals. So to keep it out of their hands he left to America. Americans use Compound V, but as we see in the show, heros make too many mistakes. Also he begins to realize his wife really bought into the Nazi message and intends to move forward with the Nazis plans, so he destroys the Compound V formula, Stormfront probably kills him (for the culture).So the Vought company began trying to recreate Compound V using whatever samples available and testing it on the unsuspecting public. Originally using the Church of the Collective to distribute Compound V and indoctrinate their heroes, now they use Christianity and hospitals. Stormfront admits to being part of the Church at one point. Realizing the original Compound V haults aging and after failing at being Liberty, Stormfront decides to play the long game and wait for Vought to perfect Compound V enough to carry out her plan.Frederick Vought founded Vought Inc. and must of had a controlling interest in the company. Then Stormfront killed him and took over, then passes controlling intrest to Adele her daughter. Then pretends to be Adele's daughter and control was passed back to her when Adele dies. Which is where she comes into the show.First thing we blame on the company Vought is Hughie's girlfriend Robin, but it was A-Train's negligence under Homelander's orders. Butcher's wife missing. She went to Vought because she was raped by Homelander. The plane crash, Homelander figured a tragedy worked better for the narrative and purposely messed up the plane(watch it again if you don't think so). Supe Terrorists, Homelander again. Stan Edgar/ Voughts only crime so far is not being able to stop Homelander (who can?)and lying about Compound V.First off, I don't think Stan Edgar has powers. I think most heros in The Boys are from single parent homes, because thats who they mostly targeted for treatments, and because of that all Edgar has to do is take an firmly authoritative stance and they fall in line ie. Homelander.I think Stormfront blackmailed her way onto The Seven. She was going to tell the public about Compound V, and because of Homelanders terrorist play Edgar wanted to keep the lid extra tight. Then Starlight leaked it, so Stormfront loses her leverage over Edgar. That's why it was important for her to cause mass destruction and get the kill on Kimiko's brother, now she can't be booted from The Seven, because she's a savior to the public.Stormfront is doing things behind Voughts back. Vogelbaum didn't know about Sage Grove because its not run by Vought. Its ran by Stormfront using Vought resources which she has access to being she technically is in control. Why during the Sage Grove breakout we didn't see the typical Vought storm troopers, Stormfront has to break her appointment with Homelander to come and regain control. Its because they operate independently from the rest of the company.Stormfront is just using Homelander and really has no interest in him besides he can give her a supe baby that won't grow old and die like Adele did. Maybe outliving her kid may have pushed her over the edge into rehashing her old plans. Also she knows Homelander is probably the one asset the company has to stop her, so keeping him on her side is important.The Boys are just in the middle of it all scratching the surface at whats really happening. What makes it worse is that they blame everything on Vought and are trying to take them down which is ultimately helping Stormfront.I think Edgar working with The Church of the Collective popped everyones heads, but ultimately to stop Stormfront. Everything Stormfront does still reflects on Vought. Stormfront knows this and wants Vought to go down, causing everyone to go to jail leaving her in charge. So as villianous as it is, they did it to keep Stormfront from having control.They also popped Raynor's head in the beginning. Adele dies, Stormfront inherits control of Vought and starts making demands that they can't deny her. Then someone inside Vought leaked info to the FBI, thinking they could get them to take care of her by ruining her reputation and keeping her out of the public, not able to spread her message. Stormfront then explains to Edgar who she really is and what she knows about Vought, so to stop the investigation in its tracks he gets Raynor's head popped off. In the courtroom he did it again to save the company and send a message to Stormfront. Like she knows about Compound V, but not the other breakthroughs Vought has made in her absence.My theory is Stan Edgar is trying to keep Stormfront from taking over Vought, and then America and the rest of the world. I think as viewers we label Vought as viillians because thats how its viewed by the protagonists The Boys. I think they maybe trying to do good, but cover up bad things to continue to do business.Let me know what you think? via /r/FanTheories https://ift.tt/3nnsuUg
