Is Queen Maeve dead in season 3? Is Queen Maeve alive?

Is Queen Maeve dead in season 3? Is Queen Maeve alive?

What happens to Queen Maeve in The Boys Season 3? is she even alive? That’s probably one of the questions on the minds of The Boys fans. 

As you know, in the finale fight Queen Maeve fought with Solider Boy and then Solider Boy was about to use his radiation-infused energy blasts and kill everyone present.

Queen Maeve sacrifices herself and throws Solider Boy off the Vought building, and in mid-air, we see Solider Boy exploding, but with that explosion, did Queen Maeve die or is she still alive? 

Is Queen Maeve dead in season 3? or Is Queen Maeve alive?

Queen Maeve is still alive in The Boys but is powerless because Solider Boy’s radiation-infused energy blast hit her. 

At the finale of The Boys Season 3, Queen Maeve, Billy and Solider Boy go to Vought Tower’s 12th floor to kill Homelander. 

As the fight is about to break out, Homelander brings Ryan with him and gives an emotional speech about him, Ryan and Solider Boy being a family. 

Still, Solider Boy being an alpha, ignores all the bullshit and decides he will kill both Ryan and Homelander. 

But as Ryan was Becca’s son and Billy had promised her wife that she would take care of Ryan, he now decides to protect Ryan and fight Solider Boy. 

Queen Maeve initially sided with Solider Boy and fought with Homelander because he had kept her hostage and tortured her earlier. 

Still, after a certain point, when Solider Boy was trashing everyone and was about to use his radiation-infused energy blast, Maeve thought of switching sides and saving everyone by sacrificing herself. 

As we have seen with Kimiko, if Soldier Boy’s radiation-infused energy blast hits a person, it will eliminate all the compound V from their body, and also, they will lose all of their powers. 

The same happened with Queen Maeve as well. 

While Solider Boy is about to use his radiation-infused-energy blast and kill everyone while fighting Billy, Homelander, Queen Maeve, Kimiko, Hughie, MM and Annie, we see Queen Maeve stepping in and throwing herself with Solider Boy from the top of the 12th floor. 

From the viewers’ standpoint, it looked like she died in the blast, but at the ending credits of The Boys Season 3, we see Queen Maeve still alive. She has lost one eye but is still alive and powerless. 

She then decides to leave the city with Elena. 

The same footage was recovered by Ashley later on, but Ashley finally showcased some kindness and decided to delete the footage so that Queen Maeve could spend the rest of her days freely without trouble. 

Because if Homelander came to know about the footage, he would try to kill Maeve for sure; hence Ashley first time did the right thing.
