Klara Risinger, better known as Stormfront, is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Homelander) of Season 2 of Amazon's 2019 adaptation of the comic book series The Boys, and a minor antagonist in Season 3. She is set to return in Vought rising.
Having previously gone under the name Liberty, she is the newest member of the Seven, joining after Translucent's death and soon becoming a rival to Homelander for leadership of the group. She is adept at using social media and has a large following online, using her position as a platform to advocate for more superheroes being made in order to combat the threat the nation faces from "Super-terrorists."
Unknown to everyone, Stormfront is secretly a century-old Nazi, the wife of Frederick Vought] and the first successful Supe ever created. Her true intentions are to finish what the Nazi Party started decades ago and create millions of Supes that would help her kickstart a war against "inferior races" and wipe them out.
She was portrayed by Aya Cash in Seasons 2 and 3 and by Charlize Theron in The Dawn of the Seven in Season 3, with the latter also portraying Queen Ravenna.
Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- Fitting with the black-comedy nature of the series, she has plenty of comedic moments. However, she is still taken completely seriously, especially the reveal of her being an evil Supe in her massacre of the apartment complex, and her impassioned speech to Homelander espousing her Nazi beliefs.
- While losing her family may seem tragic, it does not tie into her motives or make her sympathetic because of her actions. Furthermore, it is not given very much sympathy, especially after her true colors are revealed.
- She and Frederick Vought created Compound V in the hopes of creating super soldiers to eradicate other races, making her partially responsible for all of the events in the story.
- She holds supremacist views that she extends to her victims, enemies and even her allies. Particularly her racism towards A-Train, Kimiko, and Kenji; and her supremacy against humans like Ashley, Stan Edgar, and Becca Butcher.
- While she has supremacist views, they don't stop her from hurting white people and other Supes, such as Billy Butcher, Starlight and Hughie Campbell.
- She posed as a superhero named Liberty as an excuse to commit hate crimes. At one point, she brutally killed a young black man named Myron Hunter and had Vought silence his sister, Valerie, with a measly $2000 check, not caring about the lifelong trauma she developed.
- She joined the Seven in the hope to gain power through social media and create an Aryan army. After the creation of Supe-Terrorists, she repeatedly spread anti-immigrant propaganda on the news and social media to foster the public's fear of terrorism.
- This makes her indirectly responsible for one her followers, Tommy Peterson, becoming increasingly paranoid about Supe-terrorism from constantly viewing her propaganda. This eventually lead to Tommy killing Kuldeep Singh, a convenience store worker Tommy suspected to be a Supe-Terrorist.
- While chasing down Kimiko's brother, Kenji, she killed a black family (2 children and one parent) for absolutely no reason and likely would've blamed it on Kenji. She also went on to cause mass destruction across the apartment, killing 59 people in total and injuring countless others.
- She sadistically tortured Kenji by breaking his wrists before killing him while calling him a "yellow bastard."
- She arranged a sit-down between Starlight with her mother just to spite her, being well aware over how Annie felt about Donna at the time. When Annie tearfully confronts her over this, Stormfront merely passes it off as a sob story.
- While stopping a robbery with Homelander, Stormfront urges Homelander into killing the petty thief. They go on to have sex in the same area even while covered in the thief's blood.
- She and Homelander successfully cause Homelander's son, Ryan, to turn against his mother and run away with them, with her trying to manipulate Ryan into upholding her supremacist views.
- She intended to kill Kimiko and broke her neck during the fight, the latter only surviving due to her advanced regeneration.
- She tried to murder Becca Butcher when she stabs her eye in self-defense when she tried to take Ryan away from her. Ryan ultimately uses his heat vision to stop her, but he accidentally kills Becca in the process, making her indirectly responsible for Becca's death.
- She said some racial remarks towards Stan Edgar, calling him "pretty smart for his kind."
- Her relationship with Homelander is more so based on mere idealization rather than genuine love. While she still provided him reassurance, she only stayed with Homelander because she believed him to be the perfect Aryan as well as his previous promise to continue her plans of creating an army of Supes, and also desired to corrupt and manipulate his son, Ryan, into adopting her racist ideology. Once Homelander broke that promise and she realizes she's lost all influence over him, she promptly grows emotionally distant and ignores him before committing suicide that same day.
What Prevents Her from Being Pure Evil?[]
- She does genuinely care for her late husband and daughter, Frederick and Chloe, being shown to genuinely miss them and is saddened that she outlived them due to her longevity. When she is horrifically scarred by Ryan, she begins to hallucinate speaking to Frederick, reminiscing over a family picnic with them.
Trivia[]
- Aya Cash considers Stormfront to be more evil than Homelander because, while Homelander's destructiveness is about ego, Stormfront has a deliberate racist agenda.
- While Stormfront is currently Near Pure Evil, her status may or may not change in The Boys' upcoming prequel, Vought Rising.
