Susan Heyward as Sister Sage and Valorie Curry as Firecracker on The Boys Season 4 (via @theboystv / Instagram) Sister Sage is a new supe introduced in The Boys Season 4. She is canonically the smartest person on Earth in the show and is expected to advise Homelander with his plans of world domination. While her character was not a part of the comics, Sister Sage will surely play an important role on the show. Showrunner Eric Kripke has spoken extensively on the character and its role in the storyline. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he explained the reason he wanted to introduce this new character as the ‘smart one’ in the series adaptation: “It’s both commentary and satirical that you have literally the smartest person in the world that could cure all of society’s ills, but she just can’t get anyone to listen to her. So then she becomes a bitter misanthrope.” In an interview for IGN, Kripke also mentioned that writing the nuances of Sister Sage’s character traits had been a difficult task: “It’s actually a lot harder to write because the challenge of writing the world’s smartest person means that we have to be smart as writers, and then that is sometimes a very tall order […] She’s very challenging because every single thing she does, she’s eight moves ahead and she’s brilliant. Getting yourself in that head space is really hard because we’re not nearly as smart as her. I’ll tell you, writing dumb characters is much easier than writing smart characters.” It will certainly be interesting to see how Sister Sage’s story pans out in this season and how she makes her place among The Seven. Audiences can watch The Boys Season 4 streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Season 4 (via @theboystv / Instagram)
