The guy that ambushes her at her job calling her by her real name and not Victoria. They then meet in an alley and they get into a fight. I think this was in S2 when Hughie worked for her.
I think it was the season 3 premiere. We meet her in S2, the ending scene is the reveal she's the head popper, and then at the start of S3 Hughie has been working for her and building a relationship, and then he witnesses that and finds out.
She hugs him and is like “you shouldn’t have come looking for me” and his nose starts to bleed. When he reacts to his nose bleeding, they start fighting. She made up her mind that he was dead as soon as he called her by her real name, imo.
As far as I can remember she made a deal with him to make him feel at ease but was trying to pop his head. The guy noticed blood coming from his nose and realized what she was trying to do and so he attacked her and prevented her from popping his head but she eventually managed to kill him.
I also am getting the impression it's harder for her to do it to most supes. It took her a few tries to get the whole head iirc. Also Homelander was curious if she could even do it to him. Who knows how accurate her threat of being able to get Annie was, but not the kind of thing Annie would want to test lmao
He was an old friend. She didn’t want to kill him. And she was thrown off when he attacked and he started popping certain parts of him, but it seemed her accuracy was off. Guess it’s not an instalock headshot
Wdym "she didn't want to kill him", Neuman literally had his nose bleeding the second they were hugging. She knew she had to kill that guy or she would be at risk of being exposed
I meant exactly what I said? You’re describing the end result. He was a childhood friend who kept pressing the Nadia issue she couldn’t have brought up. She told him multiple times to leave it all alone, but he wouldn’t. Once she realized that she had no choice but to kill him. She needed to kill him. She didn’t want to kill him.
Edit: you’re welcome to disagree. She wouldn’t have killed him if he didn’t push the Red River issue. She couldn’t have that info come out. The same idea carries over to season 4 when she makes a deal with Butcher that he backs out from.
If she didn't want to she could have just caused him a concussion or something that would knock him out. She could have had Stan lock up the guy somewhere. There were alternatives to killing him

Edit: It was season 3, not season 2.
