'The Passage': New villain Horace Guilder's plans are something that Amy's newfound superpowers couldn't possibly take on

Guilder's main interest lies in the side effects of the virals and creating an army out of The Twelve - something that Amy alone can't possibly take on.

This may contain spoilers for The Passage season 1 episode 5: "How You Gonna Outrun The End of The World?"

Fox's ongoing series 'The Passage' has done a brilliant job in its debut season, following Justin Cronin's novels of the same name, showing how controlling and destructive overwhelming amounts of power can be. Through the story of Amu Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney) and the devastating Project Noah, that infiltrates subjects with a virus from a South American bat to turn them into superhumans, we have seen how the pioneer of the project, Dr. Tim Fanning (Jamie McShane) fell prey to his own plans. And now, by the looks of it, another man of power introduced in the latest episode, Horace Guilder - a government director - could be following the same path. But first and foremost, Guilder, played by James Le Gros, is a vicious villain and could also prove to be equally dangerous for Amy, despite her recently developed superpowers.
