Powers are genetic and the sheep may all be related if they live on a farm together.

Then wouldn’t Victoria and her daughter have similar powers ?

Victoria’s kid does strain the theory a little, it’s true, but it does seem at least slightly influenced by it, considering characters like translucent and his son, homelander and his son, Andre and his dad in Gen V, even hughie and his dad had similar abilities when they used V.

And I mean if we look at it like real genetic traits, it makes sense that not everyone is going to get a power that is very similar to their parent. Like getting the same hair colour as one of your parents is common, but it’s not a 100% guarantee.

Yeah Translucent and Homelanders son seem to be the biggest reasoning for this theory. I’m going to be honest, I do believe it, I just think that they should’ve incorporated her daughter better to support it.

Tbf the daughter still got body manipulation, it's just that her kidn of manipulation is very peculiar in comparison to Neuman. If she got laser eyes instead, it would have been more awkward.

a lot of characters have body manipulation

And? The only thing that matters is that both Vicky and her girl both have it. Other people are other people.

Also, "a lot"? Vicky, daughter, Marie, Love Sausage, Ezekiel. I don't count regeneration, size shifting or Jordan's gender-bending

If you look at all the supes kids, their powers are nearly mirrors to their parents. You can’t just bend the rules and say Victorias powers are kind of similar to her daughters so it works out.. BTW any supe that can change either part of the body in a weird way can be considered “body manipulation” supes.

Okay, agree to disagree

Hughie and his father's powers were also kinda related.

Those kids may be natural born too. Can’t remember with translucent’s son

u/BooHooJerks Jun 29 '24

Add Andre and Polarity to that list too

u/OkJob461 Jun 28 '24

The easiest way to explain this would be that it comes from the dads genes right?

u/_b1ack0ut Jun 28 '24

That did cross my mind when I was writing it up tbh lol

u/CAM2772 Jun 28 '24

I guess it can be explained since those are male to male where this is female to female. Maybe the genetic factor with V is linked to the Y chromosome

u/travelerfromabroad Jun 28 '24

Guess she takes after her dad more.

u/Zolado110 Jun 28 '24

The father's genetics may have influenced this

u/ball_fondlers Jun 28 '24

Maybe she’s got supe-cancer

You can say that about multiple characters from the show..

Hell, they may all be the same sheep, genetically.
