"The Boys" Season 4 newcomers Valorie Curry (Firecracker) and Susan Heyward (Sister Sage) dive into their characters' motivations. Curry hilariously describes Firecracker as an "extremely f'd up Cinderella" with Sage as her strategic "fairy godmother," and explains how her character's delusion makes her uniquely powerful.
