Making his first-ever Supanova appearance, Bower sent shockwaves through pop culture with his unforgettable turn as Vecna in Season 4 of Stranger Things. His chilling performance earned Critics Choice and MTV nominations for Best Villain and had fans counting down to the show’s highly anticipated final season.
