AMC offered a two-part Preacher Season 2 premiere, with the first episode taking place on Sunday night and the second during its regular air time on Monday nights.

After an entire season setting up the story of Jesse Custer and Genesis as well as the backstory of The Saint of Killers, things exploded right out of the gate in the first episode and this season looks to see The Saint of Killers hot on the trails of Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidy. Here is a look at five questions coming out of the first two episodes of Preacher Season 2.

5. Does The Saint of Killers Have a Weakness?

In the Preacher comic books, the first time that Jesse comes face to face with The Saint of Killers, he orders him not to shoot and Genesis is able to stop the big man. However, as shown in the Preacher Season 2 premiere, Genesis has no effect on The Saint of Killers. This is smart, in a way, because it makes this big bad man more dangerous and forced Jesse to use his brains to get out of trouble rather than just using Genesis.

However, this also makes The Saint of Killers almost unstoppable. He is the Angel of Death and is immortal, invulnerable, has superhuman strength, and superhuman speed. He showed this in the premiere episodes as he soaked up bullets and just let them fall around while shooting his guns at blazing speeds. It is also interesting to see the first episode of the season premiere as his bullets caused bazooka sized holes. With an unstoppable cowboy after them, the stakes on Preacher just got blown into the sky.
