Welp, A-Train finally got his powers back, but with the caveat that he has to live with his enemy’s heart inside him. What a time for him to survive! Most of Season 3 showcased A-Train crawling closer to his redemption arc — and all his missteps along the way. He half-heartedly helps out his neighbors, which leads him to discover the systemic injustice afoot in his Black community that he previously overlooked. No one punishes Blue Hawk for paralyzing his brother, so he murders him. A-Train gives Hughie an earnest apology for murdering his girlfriend, which lands him a frustrated superpowered punch to the face.

Still, A-Train sides with Homelander throughout Season 3. However, his reasoning for doing so was mostly rooted in self-preservation. He was essentially powerless, and Homelander blackmailed him to follow orders or he’d expose that A-Train couldn’t use his powers without dying. Now that A-Train has his powers back, and a literal new heart, it remains to be seen how he’ll act. Perhaps he’ll find his way to the Boys, but based on his past record, I imagine it’ll be a season-long journey filled with amends and little victories before he gets there. Regardless, he could be done supporting Homelander now that he has nothing to lose and Season 4’s A-Train will be focused on how to escape Vought’s grasp safely.
