Overview

• On early episodes of The Power, contestants Matthias Mangiapane, Aaron Königs, and Lucas Schwarze were shown using homophobic insults.
• The comments targeted queer figures including Katy Bähm, Manuel Flickinger, and Nina Queer (Daniel Wegscheider), according to TAG24.
• Nina Queer challenged Mangiapane to confront her on her talk show, and Flickinger called the attacks scandalous and baseless.
• The series features an AI host named Delta that drew scrutiny before launch.
• Joyn is releasing 10 new episodes each Monday toward a 50‑episode run for a €40,000 prize, and Schwarze has since described the shoot as a “single fever dream.”
