Stranger Things Fans Theorise Holly Wheeler Has Powers

Fans of Netflix's 'Stranger Things' have been speculating that Holly Wheeler, the younger sister of Mike Wheeler, may develop supernatural powers in the final season. The theory stems from a scene in the first episode of season five, titled 'The Crawl', in which Mike gives Holly a Dungeons & Dragons figurine named 'Holly the Heroic' and describes her as a cleric with divine powers, including the ability to cast a dimension door that can teleport her anywhere she visualises.

Viewers have noted that Holly has had increased screen time this season, and some believe this foreshadows her playing a crucial role in the battle against Vecna. One Reddit user, @mwrld99, shared a theory titled 'Holly the Heroic', suggesting that the figurine's powers may be a hint that Holly will gain abilities to protect herself or escape Vecna's Mind Lair. Another user, @Upper_Copy_5347, questioned whether any child taken but not killed by Vecna, including Holly and Max, could develop powers similar to Will Byers.

However, not all fans are convinced. Some argue that Holly may have a heroic moment without necessarily possessing supernatural abilities. The final episode of 'Stranger Things' is set to air on New Year's Day at 1am in the UK on Netflix.
