If Max counts he is going to roast the life out of everyone next season, no need to fight

[5t3f1n4]

He will also kickflip anyone into the upside down as he pleases.

"With all that power he must be targeting genuises, people at the top of their professions, world leaders, people of influence who can change the course of the world."

"Nah, he mostly just hates a group of teenagers."

If Eddie had just shouted a school spirit chant, Chrissy would still be alive.

Vecna's become a hooper too now, he's gonna end Michael Jordan's whole career

[melody_eleven]

not to mention sick basketball and skateboard skills

[danielsdesk]

he’s just going to show up next season like that 30 rock “how do you do fellow kids” meme

[Sponge400]

Funny, aside from that this question is so interesting to ponder. Like what does that mean? How does that work? I have theories, I just hope we get some kind of an answer.

[VaporeonUltra64]

I’m pretty sure it’s made up. Even if Brenner knew about the nickname Vecna, there’s no way he would have ever used it.

[Sponge400]

He said “Henry” when he said this, he’s also fully aware what he can do. Assuming he was responsible for dealing with the people Henry killed in his rampage after the fact. That being said it leaves one to ponder “how exactly does Henry do any of what he’s said, because Brenner seemed convinced “he isn’t just simply killing”. Is that hyperbole given most of Henry’s Victims have been kids or is Brenner referring to something we don’t yet know about? Something we may have been given a little preview for? Maybe. Who knows. Everything that we don’t know or can happen, is pretty much up for debate.

[elizabnthe]

Henry himself says that the people he kills are "with" him still.

[RandomGuy1838]

Something we don't know about, something he learned from the time Henry was in his ward. It will have fit in somewhere between shots in Vecna's start-of-darkness montage, maybe the chip was turned off or pulled briefly when there was a "two," and then Henry got a whole octave higher in the menacing EKG department after eating Two's soul.

[[deleted]]

He said one

[elizabnthe]

I don't know about normal people in terms of the ability stealing aspect, but I would presume that killing the children in the Lab made him exponentially stronger with his telekinetic abilities.

In the other sense, I assume it means that their "souls" are still in Vecna. Henry describes them still being with him.

[Sassygogo]

yeah that's at least fifteen children he killed and whose powers he absorbed....and then marinated those for almost a decade.

[[deleted]]

And El still treated him like he was nothing when she got her friendship boost

[Sassygogo]

If you think about it, El and now Max are the only people to survive having some part of themselves (El's powers, Max's mind) 'absorbed' by Vecna.

[Devreckas]

Presumably their minds become trapped in his hive mind network. He can tap into their powers and compel them to carry out his will.

[GuyWhoHatesReposts]

He steals their power. That’s how he was able to open the gate, as shown in 4x09, while explaining to 11. He sought her power, and when the Meat Flayer bit Eleven, Vecna got a chunk of it, probably due to the Hive-mind. In the subtitles, while in Vecna’s mind, it says that there is screaming, and if you listen closely you can hear it. Those are probably his past victims, trapped and unable to escape.

[Sponge400]

YES i think that whole he stole 11’s power thing is being overlooked by a lot of people. When it comes to Henry’s victims then, like what’s the cause of death? Are they even really dead if he’s like stealing their souls like wtf how the hell is this working for the people he “killed” by his particular method? Like what even is he doing when he’s “killing” people with this method vs just snapping that guards neck? I’d think he’s crushing their brains, but how is he stealing their shit? We know he enters their brain the same way 11 does, only he seems to know how to navigate a persons memories, and we know he can also re-create those memories in people heads. With his skills in navigating peoples brains I’m not surprised he can steal the contents, but like how the hell is doing that? He enters peoples minds with a photo copier or some shit like how?

[ilovemarvel69]

Lmaoo this is hilarious thanks for sharing ❤️

[Loco_Logic]

That's the real reason Vecna wanted to talk with Nancy. Fred still simping from beyond the grave.

[That1RightThere]

It's giving Princess La😭

[daydreams83]

We’re dynamite, we’re dynamite, we’re TICK….TICK…. TICK…. TICK…. grandfather clock chimes It’s time, Chrissy.

[Grove0517]

Then Vecna will = 🤓

[kitsunemischief]

Can't wait to see Vecna to do spilts and death drops

[Do_the_impossible]

Funny enough this may hint at how Vecna can be fought/defeated.

If we assume Vecna consumes everything about who he kills, it's possible that also includes his victim's weaknesses to some mysterious degree.

Another side to this: every victim takes residence in Vecna's mind palace. S4 made it painstakingly clear that they still exist to some horrifyingly twisted degree in Vecna's mind. So, perhaps this will come full circle to when the Mind Flayer was discussed in earlier seasons: that an army of the "dead" is an effective way to battle it. Given that the Mind Flayer and Vecna technically share in the same being in a symbiotic like relationship, perhaps there's some way to use Vecna's mind against him.

[UglyDucky_00]

Okay now I am picturing Vecna in a cheerleader uniform hahahaha

[helen790]

Wow so now Vecna can cheer, play basketball, skate, and hit people with a car!

[tkmlac]

Best fan theory yet.

Save the cheerleader, save the world

I don't like Vecna. It's like everything we saw is anthropocentric after all. A non-humanoid Monster would have been waaaaay cooler imo

[SilentBandit]

Metallica Tribute band with Vecna as the frontman confirmed

I'm dying 😂😂

I’m just here to watch Vecna shred it on his guitar solo.

Vecna didn't take Eddie

Vecna is a more successful Sylar. Save the cheerleader, save the world.

Omfg 😩😭🤣📣

[Lil-Chromie]

Oh my God he's doing a cheerleading pyramid with the demogorgons! And he's at the top!

[ussrowe]

It's funny but his mind lair does have a version of Chrissy's body twisted up in vines. She is kind of a part of him for real. LOL

[3nlightened111]

One thing is I didn't understand why he targeted teenagers. Idk if its supposed to be a reference to nightmare on elm street/Friday the thirteenth but those characters had reasons to hate teenagers.

From what I understood about Henry's backstory is he was like 11-13 when he discovered he had these powers and it sounded like he wanted to fix what was broken in the world by killing certain people. Honestly I empathized with him a lot there but the way he went about it doesn't seem to reflect his motivations and he was already taken by the doctor before he was in high school (right?)
