No wonder, Vecna inStranger Thingsis a powerful villain, but what are exactly his powers, and how does he choose his victims? Here’s everything you need to know.
Not just the strongest villains ofNetflix’sStranger Things, but Vecna can safely be assumed as the strongest villain in the TV series world. And yes, the scariest looking one as well. He is far more powerful than Demogorgons and the Mind Flayer. What makes Vecna an even more interesting character is his past as a human and evil motivation to become a monster. Who would think the innocent-looking introvert Henry would be the real king of the upside-down.
We have seen the monster killing the Hawkins teens in the most brutal way that one cannot even imagine. But out of all the people, how exactly does Vecna choose his victims, and what are his real powers? If that’s unclear for you as well, then here’s an explanation.
Vecna’s Powers In Stranger Things Explained And How He Chooses His Victims
We have seen Vecna controlling the mind of his victims way before the day he plans to kill them. Once he takes control of the mind, he traumatizes them by showing the visions of their dark past. He takes them to unknown places and gives them a glimpse of himself. The pain of his victims doesn’t end here. Every single one of his victims experiences nose bleeding and severe headaches as well. Vecna can easily connect himself to his prey remotely and control them at any time he wants. His powers are a lot similar to Eleven’s, but he is far stronger and more experienced than her.
Controlling the mind is just the start of Vecna’s torture. After playing around with them in their head for a while, it’s finally the time when he takes control of the victim’s body. Vecna makes his prey float in the air, break their bones, and finally explode their eyes, consuming their life energy and killing them once and for all. His strong tentacles also play a keen role in getting a hold of his victims while they try to escape from his realm. With every single person he kills, Vecna creates a new door to the upside-down world, connecting the two worlds more and more together.
Now, how does Vecna selects his victims? Using his telepathic powers, he can easily go through every memory in a person’s mind. So he intentionally chooses the person with a weak state of mind and one who had a rough past, as it’s easy to get control of their mind.
