Stormfront is a 'Liberty' 

In the comic book, Stormfront's character is originally played by a man. However, Aya Cash playing the role changes several aspects of the plot.

As per the book's plot, the origin story of Stormfront begins with his recruitment into the Third Reich during WWII. It is also stated that the character's ideology comes from Hitler, and he expressed racist views about inferior races. However, in the series, as Stormfront's character is a social media influencer, her true beliefs about racism are kept from the public.

These hints include her praising Homelander's blue eyes and her attacks on black civilians.
