Ryan Could Be The Hero Or The Villain Of The Series
Ryan’s fate is will be inThe Boysseason 5 is unclear, buthe likely will have to choose a side.The young Supe’s loyalties were fickle in season 4. At one moment, he was looking wistfully at a family picture of Billy and Becca, whereas the next, he seemed to be supporting his enraged father. Butcher and Homelander are arch rivals, but Ryan is also the superpowered son of the most powerful part of the Seven. As such, the side he chooses will be essential to the fight that will ensue inThe Boysseason 5.
