Brad Wolfe Loki Season 2 S New Character Explained
Who is Brad Wolfe aka Hunter-X5?
In Episode 2, Hunter X-5 goes rogue and takes the identity of Brad Wolfe. He becomes a movie star on the scared timeline and has a life for himself. In the Marvel Comics, something very similar happens. A rogue TVA agent becomes an actor named Brad Wolfe and while working on the movie Zaniac, here comes the interesting part, Brad Wolfe becomes possessed by an evil entity that turns him into a serial killer.
Wolfe turns into a monster and starts bringing the story of his movie to life, killing a number of women. He renames himself to Zaniac, and eventually, becomes an enemy of Thor. Zaniac was killed off by Thor in the comic run of Thor#319.
However, in Loki Season 2, it seems like he isn’t possessed yet. Who knows, in the future, we get to see him fight Loki and Mobius as a possessed being, calling himself Zaniac, in the future. The interesting thing is that Brad Wolfe gets possessed while filming the sequel to his movie, Zaniac.
In Episode 2, Brad mentions that he is going to start working on a sequel so there’s a possibility that we might get to see Zaniac in action too. As of now, this is just an assumption and only the future will tell what we get to see in the upcoming episodes of Loki Season 2.
