  • Stormfront – A Nazi superpowered individual with electrical and flight abilities, introduced as a new member in Season 2.
  • Supersonic (Alex) – A former boy band member briefly recruited in Season 3.

    • Vought and Compound V

  • Vought International is a powerful, corrupt corporation that manufactures and markets superheroes as both celebrities and weapons. They control the Seven and use their public image to generate profits and political influence while covering up their misdeeds.
  • Compound V is a chemical created by Vought that gives individuals superpowers. Originally developed in secret, Vought has been injecting it into infants to create superheroes, leading to the rise of supes like Homelander. Its widespread use underpins the company's dominance and is the root of much of the show's conflict.
