If Vought International's new "Seven on 7" segment is anything to go by, Stormfront might've won in The Boys season 2 after all. When Hugh Campbell detonated Translucent's anal passage in The Boys season 1, he didn't just leave a mess on the walls. Vought was forced to fill the vacant seat at the Seven's table, and eventually chose Stormfront, who seemed perfect in every way - popular, powerful, and less outwardly detestable than the likes of Homelander and The Deep. Unfortunately, Stormfront turned out to be a Nazi secretly creating an Aryan-style Übermensch race of Compound-V subjects, following the will of her late husband, Frederick Vought.
To achieve this stomach-turning goal, Stormfront stoked public fear of immigrants and foreign folk being super-terrorists hidden in plain sight. Spurred on by Homelander, the American public began demanding widespread use of Compound-V in order to combat this wholly fabricated threat. Thanks to the efforts of Billy Butcher's Boys (with a little help from Queen Maeve and A-Train), Stormfront was outed, widely condemned, and then deprived of 3 of her 4 limbs by Ryan Butcher. Eric Kripke confirmed Stormfront survived the attack, and is locked away at a Vought facility when The Boys season 3 begins.
By usual standards, Stormfront being left physically mutilated, publicly disgraced, and unable to achieve her life's sole aim can't be considered anything remotely resembling a victory. Indeed, The Boys' season 2 finale strongly hints that Stormfront's Compound-V plan was thwarted as soon as her Nazism became common knowledge. The October "Seven on 7" promo for The Boys season 3, however, proves otherwise. According to Vought's right-wing talk show host, Cameron Coleman, a "surprisingly large" section of Stormfront loyalists calling themselves "Stormchasers" have since emerged, bearing signs that read amazingly inappropriate slogans such as "Stormfront was right" and "Stormfront save us." Coleman says the Stormchasers are fighting for Stormfront's "vision of the future" and this proves the villain might've actually won in The Boys season 2.
Whipping people into a racially-charged frenzy, Stormfront planned to lead her movement from the front - the public face of Compound-V's rollout. By being defeated and locked away, Stormfront has instead become a martyr, and her message is actually growing louder in her absence. Almost getting lasered to death by a small boy probably wasn't Stormfront's intention, but in terms of achieving Frederick Vought's "utopia," it's arguably the best thing that could've happened to her. In The Boys season 2, Stormfront had a following; in The Boys season 3, she has an army.
Even more disturbingly, Cameron Coleman subtly champions Stormfront's cause. The presenter refers to the "horrific charges against [Stormfront]" and emphasizes how the (heavily armed) Stormchasers are merely exercising their constitutional right to free speech. Coleman is, of course, a puppet sitting on the corporate hand of Vought International, so if the VNN host is making efforts to embolden the Stormchasers, he's only taking orders from above. Perhaps Stan Edgar hasn't entirely given up on Stormfront as a tool in The Boys season 3.
"Seven on 7" introducing the Stormchasers greases the fascist wheels for Stormfront's return, one way or another. The villain could break loose (with some help) in The Boys season 3, and lead her hateful fan club without the sugar-coated persona of season 2, making her more dangerous than ever. Whether or not Aya Cash physically returns as Stormfront in The Boys season 3, her malicious spirit is going nowhere. Satirizing the American far-right and Trump's infamous "very fine people on both sides" remark, the Stormchasers will continue to pose a big problem in The Boys season 3. And if there's one thing Vought excel at, it's manipulating an angry mob.
