Buffy Summers’ Biggest Secret: The Slayer’s Power Was Never Meant for Her
In a revelation that has left fans and scholars of the Slayer mythology reeling, newly uncovered Watchers’ Council documents suggest that Buffy Summers was never intended to be the Slayer.
According to the ancient scrolls, the mystical power that activates the Slayer is designed to find the “most suitable vessel” at the time of its calling. However, a catastrophic miscalculation occurred when Buffy was chosen. A rare celestial alignment disrupted the Slayer selection process, bypassing the originally destined girl and instead anointing Buffy—a “wild card” who had no prior connection to the lineage.
The revelation raises unsettling questions. Did Buffy’s unconventional approach to being a Slayer—her defiance of tradition, reliance on her friends, and repeated confrontations with the Council—stem from her being an unorthodox choice? Could the “true Slayer” still be out there, unaware of her potential destiny?
Giles, Buffy’s longtime mentor, confessed he had long suspected something unusual. “Buffy has always been… different,” he admitted. “She challenges fate in ways no Slayer before her ever has. Perhaps this explains why.”
The news has sparked a frenzy among fans, with theories exploding across forums and social media. Some speculate that the “true Slayer” could become an ally—or a rival. Others wonder if this twist sets the stage for Buffy to confront the very foundations of her calling, potentially rewriting the destiny of all Slayers.
Buffy herself remains characteristically defiant. When asked for her thoughts, she reportedly said, “Does it matter? I’ve saved the world. A lot. Destiny can take a back seat.”
