Now they just need to get back to the States safely.</p><p>But with all the good guys come some bad guys, and they don’t come much worse than Jamie Campbell Bower, aka 001, aka Vecna. The ultra-powerful supposed guard is actually highly bonded to Eleven, only with far more violent tendencies. He now feasts on those with trauma and guilt in their past, shattering their bones every time.</p><p>The only person to escape his clutches thus far is Max (thanks to Kate Bush, naturally), but we’re curious to see how this goes.</p><p><strong>Stranger Things season 4 volume 2 plot: What will happen?<br></strong><br>In the final two episodes of the season we’re likely to see how the gang join forces in order to take down the terrifying being that is Vecna – especially now they know his real identity.<br>During the 'Massacre at Hawkins Lab', Vecna revealed himself actually be 001 – the first superpowered child to be taken in by the lab.<br>001 had been chipped and experimented on, with his blood being used to later breed a host of children with powers… including Eleven.<br>He is also, unfortunately, highly narcissistic and more than a bit of a megalomaniac, believing his power prove he is above your average human.
