The Boys has taken Butcher on a wild journey, and now he’s facing a terminal illness, leading to some strange occurrences in his life. The latest theory suggests that Butcher may be dealing with more than just a brain tumor from Temp V. He has been hallucinating his dead wife and a parasitic worm seems to be working its way through his body. This theory also involves the idea of a second imaginary friend, the CIA’s Kessler, who Butcher unknowingly interacts with.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Kessler was introduced this season and has only been seen interacting with Butcher. There are hints that Kessler may not be real, and Butcher could be playing out both roles. The idea that Butcher may have blocked out Kessler’s death in the past, leading to his secret explosion powers, adds another layer of complexity to the situation. The symptoms Butcher is experiencing could all be linked to the mysterious worm in his body, which seems to be brain-warping and possibly granting him powers.
It is unclear if Butcher’s interactions with Kessler are real or a product of his imagination, but they seem to be connected to his illness. The possibility that Butcher is acting out both roles in a Tyler Durden-esque manner is intriguing and could explain his strange behaviors. The idea that Kessler may be a manifestation of Butcher’s hidden abilities is a fascinating twist, adding more depth to his character.
As the mystery surrounding Butcher’s condition and his connection to Kessler deepens, fans are eager to see how it all plays out. The strange occurrences and hallucinations Butcher is experiencing paint a confusing and intriguing picture of his mental state. The presence of the parasitic worm and the tentacles seen in recent episodes add to the mystery, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating the resolution of these twists and turns.
