Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Vought International has two new hires to boast about: Supes Firecracker and Sister Sage made their epic debut Monday in two first-look photos from “The Boys” Season 4 revealed by Amazon’s Prime Video. In the photos, which you can view at the bottom of this post, you’ll see Susan Heyward suit up as Sister Sage and Valorie Curry rocking her Firecracker costume. Both of the supersuits were designed by Laura Jean Shannon, “The Boys” costume designer who styled Jensen Ackles’ fan-favorite Soldier Boy look for Season 3. Fans will want to pick the details of these costumes apart as much as possible, because Amazon says that everything else about the Firecracker and Sister Sage characters “will be kept under wraps until the season airs.” While we don’t know when that will be just yet, we do know “The Boys” Season 4 is currently in production in Toronto — so stay tuned.

The event will see much of the same price cuts on products in every category, from apparel and tech to home entertainment and beauty.

According to a draft of the Workplace and Equal Opportunity survey obtained by Fox News Digital, the Pentagon wants to know whether "racist/extremist organizations or individuals" are a problem both where they work and in the community around their duty station.They also want to know if service members "know how to report experiences of extremist activity." In a different section, service members are asked if they witnessed or worked with anyone who showed "support for an organization, ideology, or hate group that promotes violence, discrimination, or other illegal acts." The survey asked about different examples of support, such as attending a rally, trying to recruit people, or openly advocating "illegal acts of violence or terrorism." It asked service members to check off which ideology or goals were being expressed, a list that includes anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim, White supremacy, sex and gender identity discrimination, and anti-U.S. government sentiment.
