Warning: This article includes minor SPOILERS for Twisted Metal season 2, episodes 1 through 3!
Twisted Metalseason 2 introduces audiences to the new character, Mayhem, but it’s possible she’s actually one character from the video game franchise. Based on the bestselling Playstation games, the Peacock show is back with a whole new group of characters. Fans will finally seeTwisted Metal’s Axel, Calypso, and Mr. Grimm on the small screen.
WithTwisted Metalreleasing weekly instead of all at once, fans have plenty of time to speculate about the story and come up with theories. My first theory connects to theTwisted Metalseason 2 character, Mayhem. Even though she was described as a “new character” leading up to the show, I think she’s secretly one video game character.
Twisted Metal Theory: Mayhem Is Secretly Calypso’s Daughter
Mayhem Could Be Krista Sparks From The Twisted Metal Games
Before they confirmed Mayhem as a new character, I saw her in the first trailer and guessed that she was Krista Sparks, the daughter of Calypso. Krista appears inTwisted Metal 2andTwisted Metal: Head-On, as well as the comics. She has a similar physical appearance, though she wears different clothes. Other fans also theorized this was her identity as well.
The first three episodes of Twisted Metal are vague about Mayhem’s backstory, and she’s cryptic about why she wants to compete in the tournament.
After watching the debut episodes of Twisted Metal season 2, I’m convinced we were right about our theory. The first three episodes of Twisted Metal are vague about Mayhem’s backstory, and she’s cryptic about why she wants to compete in the tournament. This is contrasted with Axel and Dollface, whose backstories might not be fully dissected yet, but aren’t cagey.
It feels inevitable that the show will include a twist related to Mayhem. I think they’re building up to her being Calypso’s daughter, though they’ll probably give her a different name since Dollface’s name is Krista like theTwisted Metal (2012)video game.
The theory of M4YH3M being Calypso’s daughter is an especially convincing possibility because the first of the three finale episodes is titled “M4YH3M.” The only other character whose name is alicense plate episode title inTwisted Metalseason 2is Dollface, who also plays a significant role in the story.
Twisted Metal Season 2 Will Reveal Mayhem’s True Identity In The Finale Episode “M4YH3M”
Mayhem’s Backstory Probably Won’t Be Divulged Until The Episode “M4YH3M”
If Mayhem truly is Calypso’s daughter, I can guarantee they will reveal it during her title episode. The episode description for “M4YH3M” mentions Calypso’s investigation uncovering surprising secrets. The tournament leader discovering that Mayhem is his daughter would be quite a surprising secret for him to learn.
Ultimately, fans will probably have to wait until the final threeTwisted Metalepisodes release on August 28 to find out if this theory is correct. Either way, the second season ofTwisted Metalis bound to provide us with some exciting twists.
