WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Supacell (2024)

Although Supacell season 1’s ending did wrap up the show’s story perfectly, the finale’s many twists also set up an even better season 2 plot. Supacell is a British superhero series that arrived on Netflix in June 2024. The show follows a group of South Londoners who discover that they have developed mysterious superpowers and are being targeted by a group of “Hooded figures.” Supacell’s protagonist, Michael, is a delivery driver who can teleport and, with a lot of effort, has some limited access to time travel. Gradually, Michael’s story unites the rest of Supacell’s cast of characters.

There is the struggling single father Andre, whose super strength doesn’t stop him from aligning with a shady group who promise financial stability for him and his young son. Then there’s the telekinetic Sabrina, the superfast drug dealer Rodney, and Tazer, a gang member whose ability to become invisible leads him to reconsider his path. Blue Story director Rapman created Supacell and the series features the same blend of gritty gangland crime, moving melodrama, and comic relief that made his debut so successful. However, Supacell also features a lot of super-powered action heroics, as proven by its season 1 finale.

How Supacell’s Ending Sets Up Supacell Season 2

Supacell’s Victoria Tease Proves Ray and Krazy Weren’t The Worst Villains

Supacell season 1 ends with the violent gang leader Krazy dead, but the real villains of Supacell are only revealed after the ending credits. Krazy was working for Ray, a shadowy figure who was watching the show’s super-powered protagonists from a distance and observing their powers. Even Ray himself turns out to have a boss in Siân Brooke’s seemingly kindly Victoria. When Victoria first appeared, she was a harmless sickle cell disease researcher. Supacell’s post-credits scene proved there was a lot more to her than this side. The pivotal scene began with Ray visiting Krazy in a hospital bed.

Krazy thanked Ray for saving his life after he lost his showdown with Michael. Ray was initially friendly, but Victoria soon appeared and began pointing out Krazy’s many failures. As Krazy begged for another chance, Victoria coldly ordered him to be shot and killed. The subsequent exchange made it clear that Victoria was the one calling the shots all along, as she warned a terrified Ray that he had also failed her. Victoria zoomed in on an image of Michael as she promised that, from now on, she would be handling the Supacell heroes her way instead.

Why Dionne Still Dies In Supacell’s Ending

Michael Can’t Save Dionne Even With Time Travel

Throughout Supacell, Michael struggles with a flash forward that informs him his beloved fiancée Dionne is destined to die unless he brings the Supacell team together. In the season 1 finale’s ending, Micheal finally masters time travel, the superpower he has been struggling with throughout the series. Michael unlocks this vital ability after Rodney attempts to take Krazy’s hidden device from him, forgetting that Krazy’s superpower is the ability to temporarily borrow another person’s powers. Krazy steals Rodney’s super speed and, in an instant, stabs the entire team to death. This sets up Michael’s heroic last stand.

Michael proves he can turn back time at will when he stops Rodney from accidentally letting Krazy kill the entire gang. Michael stabs Krazy to death before the gang leader can temporarily steal Rodney’s powers, but even this doesn’t stop a bitter, dying Krazy from firing off a few random shots as he expires. Krazy’s shots manage to miss all the heroes, but one stray bullet hits and kills Dionne. Since she has no superpowers, Dionne dies quickly as Michael holds her in his arms, devastated. Michael’s powers are too depleted to turn back time again and avoid this fate.

Supacell’s Hooded Figures & The Organization Explained

Krazy And His Gang Are Supacell’s “Hooded Figures”

Throughout Supacell season 1, Michael and the rest of the gang struggle against a set of “Hooded figures” who are determined to take super-powered people hostage for some nefarious reason. Eventually, Supacell’s ending reveals that Krazy is the leader of the “Hooded figures” and they are a gang working for Ray. The group abducts anyone with superpowers and turns them in to Ray and Victoria, who are researching the link between a family history of sickle cell disease and these emergent powers. Although Ray and Victoria claim to want the best for these test subjects, it is obvious they are oppressing them.

Why Andre Turns Against Krazy In Supacell’s Ending

Michael Reminds Andre Of Krazy’s Crimes

Andre’s super strength was central to the Supacell gang succeeding against the “Hooded figures” but, when the finale’s battle began, the single father was on the side of the villains. This was arguably understandable since they offered him safety and stability for his at-risk son. Michael successfully convinced Andre to switch sides after he pointed out Krazy’s crimes, proving that the “Hooded figures” were far from heroic. He achieved this by temporarily stopping time mid-fight, proving that Michael’s powers of time manipulation aren’t limited to jumping back and forward into the past and future.

Supacell’s Post-Credits Scene & Krazy’s Death Explained

Victoria Kills Krazy For Good In Supacell’s Post-Credits Scene

Although Krazy was seemingly stabbed to “Death” by Michael, his life was saved by the missing super-powered girl, Jasmine, reviving and healing him. However, Ray’s boss, Victoria, had Krazy shot for failing his mission in Supacell’s post-credits scene. This was an effective way to prove that, for all of his threats and the many deaths that he caused, Krazy was not the most dangerous villain in Supacell. Instead, he was just a cog in a much bigger, more dangerous machine that was still coming for the heroes. This sets up Victoria’s vengeance, Supacell season 2’s most promising and worrying storyline.

The Full Meaning Of “Supacell” Explained

Supacell’s Heroes Gain Their Powers From A Sickle Cell Mutation

The meaning of Supacell’s title is hinted at throughout season 1 as the characters realize they all share a family history of sickle cell disease in common. Eventually, the title is fully explained in the season’s ending when Ray tells Supacell‘s heroes that their powers come from a sickle cell mutation. Their powers seemingly activate at times of severe stress or when they encounter other Supacell carriers who have accessed their powers. This explains why Supacell‘s hero Michael needed to bring the team together, even though, tragically, this was not enough to save the life of his innocent fiancee, Dionne.
