Stan Edgar is one of the crucial characters of The Boys who hasn’t frequently appeared on the screen. In fact, he can be considered as the only human or supe to keep Homelander within his limits.
Throughout Season 2 and even until Episode 4 in Season 3, Stan and Homelander’s passive-aggressive beefs were pretty intense. On one side, we had the supe, pursing his lips and looking like he’ll shoot lasers any second. On the other side, we had the head of Vought saying, “I dare you!” just with his stoic stare.
However, the tables turned in Episode 4. Homelander made a deal with Congresswoman Victoria Neuman/Nadia, where she rats out Edgar in exchange for a vial of Compound V for her daughter Zoe. It was also inevitable because if Nadia said no, her daughter would be blown into a million pieces. While that would have been ironic, it didn’t happen.
Instead, the man in charge had to temporarily leave the position of control in Vought, which the supe said could become permanent. So the question is if Stan Edgar will ever return to Vought.
It isn’t confirmed, but Stan Edgar might return to Vought. According to IMDb, the character will appear in the remaining Season 3 episodes.
Currently, everything hangs in the balance for all characters in the show, and Stan is no exception. In the final exchange between the supe and the “former” head, the latter says something quite chilling.
Edgar tells how the real face of the public’s heartthrob might soon come out because there will be nobody to cover for his erratic and borderline psychotic behavior. These words are the only thing that gives us some sort of hope that the man would be back at Vought soon enough.
However, none of it is confirmed, and at this point, everything seems unpredictable. What is definitive is Stan’s presence in the next few episodes.
But besides all this, Stan seems to have been in control for the last 30-odd years since Payback was the superlative team in the country. So, removing him so quickly with a few meager charges seems a little unlikely and even far-reaching.
Will Edgar now turn towards our boys to eliminate Homelander, or will he bring out another card that would shock everyone? Well, we just have to wait and find out.
About The Boys
