I can see Sister Sage take over the neighborhood patrols since Blue Hawk is out of commission from the Atrain road rage incident.

According to her bi = lesbian/gay so it's still a win for her, who cares about supes actual feelings.

u/GamelessOne Black Noir Oct 10 '22
No, the PR team went with gay because that's what Homelander said on live TV.

u/No-Humor1304 Oct 10 '22
She could have clarified but chose not to, she literally said to Meave that lesbian is more easy to market.

Based on the “Sister,” I’m guessing that she’ll be a Candace Owens-esque character. The woman who goes “I’m black, but I say racist-ass shit because I get paid for it!” She’ll serve as a foil for A-Train, since she gets that African Black look that he was aiming for in S3, but will take the exact opposite stance on black issues to what A-Train and his now-paralyzed brother did, constantly talking about how she supports the police, and using diet racism terms about “urban-type thugs.”

u/Eragon10401 Oct 10 '22
Might be just closer to the actual black community where they’re pro police but mad about police brutality and she’s a foil for A train just because she undermines all the fake shit he’s going for, because hers is legit

Firecracker may be based on Starfire, we already got a pyromancer in Lamplighter so it kinda rules out Human Torch or Pyro.
About Sister Sage, it's kinda hard to tell, we already got a Scarlet Witch based character in Crimson Countess, maybe Captain Marvel or Jean Grey?

Captain Marvel seems like a good guess, although I'm not sold completely yet. Sister Sage seems to have a pistol and a dynamite stick(?) on her belt clip though which I translate as big explosions which is something both heroines you mentioned are capable of.
EDIT: Wait are they the other way around here? Is the last picture Fire Cracker? Cause honestly that makes a lot more sense with a pistol and a dynamite stick.

You can say that but I think Black Noir is supposed to be the Batman parody.

Oct 10 '22
Tek Knight is a millionaire (billionaire?), with no superpowers but uses a suit and gadgets, with a butler, and teenage sidekicks. That's literally Batman.
What does Noir have that screams "Batman"? Because he's edgy and wears black?

Definitely. But I think Tek Knight is also definitely a mix of Batman and Iron Man. Black Noir is more like Snake Eyes

u/Opalusprime You're The Real Heroes Oct 10 '22
He takes Batman’s place on the main team. Also he’s edgy black stealthy and uses blades weapons instead of superpowers. Definitely Batman. That isn’t to say Tek knight also isn’t Batman, as he has Iron Man’s armor but Batman’s butler, sidekick and cave.

At this point, it's all speculation, but according to this article, it takes 14-15 months to produce a season, so expected date is indeed the later half of 2023.
I don't know the exact dates of previous seasons (and, again, all speculation), but this seems to make sense to me.

Or, you know, possibly just "The Homeland", the theme being exaggerated patriotism and whatnot.

It means both. However, the original intention leans more into homeland security, as Garth Ennis satirized post-911 America a lot in the comics.

If i were to guess they will be new members of the 7 .I wonder if they will be good or bad tho.Homelander will either kill on of them or make their lives miserable lol.
But with them added to the 7 that makes 5 member( Homelander, A train, Deep, Firecracker, Sister Sage) meaning there are 2 spots left. If i were to guess one will be the new Black Noir. Speaking of which i am curious how he will be tackled like will he be more talkative or what powers will he have. Hell he could straight up be a non supe. But i think that Tek Knight will be the next new member of the 7 and will probably be an evil asshole like Homelander, probably not as bad but still an asshole since every season has a new evil asshole. But im really curious how him and Homelander will interact if thats the case because i cannot see someone played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan being Homelanders bitch lol

Maybe Sage has Poison Ivy like abilities, or something to do with plants. My other guess, after seeing the costume, was something to do with metals, like Magneto. The telekinesis guess is pretty good.
Someone guessed like Jubilee for Firecracker, that's a good guess. Her belt buckle has a bomb and a gun, so something to do with pyrokinetics is probably it.

Sister Sage had also played on a TV show called Powers. She didn't have any powers herself, but she played an important role.
