Blindspot is a hero who recently joined The Seven. Unlike other superheroes, he has a disability. His eyes don't function properly, while he isn't completely blind, his vision is no better than that of a blind person. However, as a superhero, Blindspot naturally has his own superpower, enhanced hearing.

His super hearing is extraordinarily powerful, allowing him to construct mental images of his surroundings through the reflection of sound waves, essentially using his ears in place of his eyes. This ability is something Blindspot takes great pride in.

Lately, though, Blindspot hasn't been happy. Stormfront, the new leader of The Seven, doesn't like him. He also just received bad news, he's been kicked out of The Seven.

"I... I don't understand, ma'am," Blindspot said as he sat in Madelyn's office. Although he couldn't see, he faced her, confident she was seated in front of him.

"I mean, The Seven are short on members. There's no reason to replace me... I... I haven't done anything wrong lately, have I?" Blindspot questioned, his confusion evident.

"Yes, yes, you haven't done anything wrong. In fact, you've been great. You are definitely a competent superhero, but..." Madelyn said softly, "I'm sorry. You can't stay with The Seven any longer."

"Why not!?" Blindspot demanded.

"Because Stormfront doesn't like you," Madelyn revealed. "You know what she's like. If she doesn't like you, there's nothing anyone can say."

Stormfront, a racist woman and the current leader of The Seven. As the superhero who replaced Homelander, her strength far surpassed that of the average hero.

Blindspot could attest that even if all the current members of The Seven combined their forces, they still wouldn't stand a chance against her. On top of that, Stormfront possessed a skill that Homelander never had, the ability to control public opinion.

In just two months as leader of The Seven, Stormfront had turned Vought's disadvantages into strengths, completely dominating Homelander's independently-formed "Superhuman Alliance" in the court of public opinion.

Stormfront was clearly Vought's next cash cow, and no one, including Madelyn, wanted to upset a money maker like her.

"This isn't fair..." Blindspot muttered. He had worked harder than anyone could imagine to earn his place in The Seven. God only knew how ecstatic he had been when he found out he was chosen.

After that, he trained even harder to maintain his position within the group. Now, just because of a single word from Stormfront, he was being kicked out?

It wasn't fair!

"A-Train was kicked out too. You're not the only one," Madelyn tried to console him.

A-Train had been the first to leave The Seven, partly due to his heart condition and also because his dark skin didn't sit well with Stormfront.

Just one month after Stormfront became leader, A-Train was gone, replaced by Shockwave, his former racing rival.

Now, aside from Blindspot, all the remaining members of The Seven were white: Stormfront, The Deep, Shockwave, Soldier Boy, Black Noir, and Lamplighter.

Blindspot was the only non-white member, an Asian. So it wasn't surprising that he was the latest to be removed.

"And... and the new member...?" Blindspot asked, still unwilling to give up hope. He wanted to know who would be taking his place.
