One of the most entertaining ideas comes from a short comic shared on Reddit by user DrDallagher. In the comic, Vander is shown discussing names with Powder and Vi\u2019s mother, Felicia. Vander says, \u201cI\u2019ve always loved the name Violet,\u201d like in the show\u2019s flashback. Then Silco, who was still a close friend at the time, chimes in with, \u201cyou know what I<\/em> love?\u201d hinting at a rather nefarious connection to an illegal use of powder. Another Reddit user suggested this idea, noting the possibility that Silco\u2019s love for explosives might influence his naming of Powder.<\/p>
Some fans, loving the theory, have embraced it as part of their head canon, claiming it\u2019s only fitting that both Vander and Silco, longtime friends of Felicia, would have named the sisters. Others took it a step further, linking the sisters\u2019 names with their respective skills, like Reddit user Piorn proposing \u201cViolence\u201d and \u201cGunpowder\u201d\u2014Vi with her fists and Powder with her knack for explosives.<\/p>
Other fans have pointed to League <\/em>lore to tie the name to Jinx\u2019s original story. In the game, Jinx refers to her machine gun as “Pow-Pow,” a probable reference to a childhood nickname that connects her destructive tendencies with her character. Some theorize that the creators of Arcane<\/em> chose to name her Powder as a subtle reference to her weapon, creating a link between her past and future in a way that fans would recognize.<\/p>
