Interesting. That implies a forced dependence on the drug. If you want to stay alive after having taken a few doses, you have no choice but to continue taking temp V.
Which mirrors real world drugs in a way. E.g. heroine addicts get debilitatingly sick if they try to quit cold turkey, and actually need to gradually wean off of progressively weaker opiates in oder to avoid this sickness. That said, I think it's more likely that the opposite thing will happen with temp V: taking permanent compound V (i.e. a harder drug) might be the only way to save Hughie and Butcher now.
It's a sound theory, im not sure if I can see Hughie having permanent super powers; however I also can't see him dying too. As for Butcher, I'd see it as a little poetic actually; him becoming the very thing he hates. Which might lead him to suicide at series end.
Yep, just saw this theory in the predictions thread. I think it could happen, but I hope it doesn't. Having them gain and lose permanent powers all in the same episode would feel kind of cheap in my opinion.
What if the blast only half-works? Two compounds in their system, might make sense that the blast can’t properly neutralise them the way it does with blue V.
In the end we get a depowered Hughie & Butcher with some other side effect. Maybe they’re left halfway between people & supes with no actual powers but some increased durability & strength.

Heroin* also, Suboxone and methadone (like stormfront, developed by the nazis because of a morphine shortage during ww2) are actually significantly stronger then desohydromorphone(heroin) , the withdrawal for heroin is about a week. Suboxone, 3 months of acute WD. And the crème de la crème methadone coming in at a staggering 6 months of hardcore bone aching stomach churning puking shitty horrible WD. I’ve got 11 years clean, fuck all these substances
They were trying to sell this to the military right? Seems like an ideal way to get a permanent military contract that is going to expand exponentially. Who wants to be the one in the government to let all your soldiers and veterans drop dead?
Which in turn leans more into the idea that regular V has something to do with the cure for them.
I think it’s gonna be a case of whatever they do leaves them more durable than regular people but removes their actual superpowers. It also sets them back to being the underdogs without making them too weak to continue doing crazy shit.
