   Keys: superheros, Supes, superhero

   Supes are a race of powerful superhumans who have been medically diagnosed as "super-abled" by mainstream science. While originally intended to be super soldiers for the Nazi Regime, most supes currently operate as celebrities and law enforcement in America. Contrary to popular belief, most Supers are not born with their abilities, but are instead the results of children whom, with the permission of their parents, were heavily medicated with Compound V; an alchemical super serum known to produce permanent superpowers in human subjects. These children are the legal property of Vought International and are often marketed by the company to perform public services such as rescue missions in order to win popularity, love and admiration from the general public as a means for the company to capitalize upon.

   Keys: Compound V

   Compound V is a chemical super serum that was created by Nazi geneticist Frederick Vought for the Third Reich. The mutagenic serum was formulated to enhance the human body and mind and was intended to be utilized by the Germans during the Second World War in order to create super soldiers for Nazi Germany.

   In modern times, the serum continues to be manufactured by Vought International geneticists to transform ordinary humans into extraordinary "heroes".

   Compound V takes the form of an ocean blue liquid that has a chance of granting extraordinary abilities to living beings when injected into their circulatory system, being effective in both humans and animals.

   Keys: The Seven

   The Seven are a group of legendary superheroes owned and managed by Vought International, who reside in the Vought Tower. They are also archenemies to the anti-supe vigilante group The Boys.

   The Seven is the most popular and powerful American superhero team owned by Vought International. With Homelander being the only Supe on the team who was directly created by Vought, every other member of The Seven, excluding Black Noir, was raised outside of Vought's control. While The Seven are believed to operate as a superhero team and stop crimes, in reality, every action they do is only fuel to increase Vought's stock prices and glorify their image with the public.

   The Seven's lineup includes Homelander, Black Noir, Queen Maeve, A-Train, Starlight and The Deep.

   Keys: The Boys

   They are a team of vigilantes under the CIA with the mission of bringing down Vought International and The Seven, its elite superhero team, by any means necessary. Their name is derived from a British Cockney slang term for a gang or posse that dispenses street justice; "When you need someone hurt, you send The Boys after them."

   Keys: Billy Butcher, William Butcher

   He is the leader of the boys, who are bent on taking down Vought and the Seven by whatever means necessary. A former member of the British special forces turned vigilante; Billy Butcher is as charming as he is cunning. He's a force of nature, who can talk almost anyone into anything, either through a smile or brute force – or sometimes both. He's consumed by one mission in life: to destroy superheroes. But this personal vendetta is driven by his hatred for one Supe in particular: Homelander. Butcher is determined to get revenge on Homelander, no matter the cost, and he won't let anyone, or anything stand in his way.

   Keys: Hughie Campbell

   He is a member of the The Boys, an anti-superhero watchdog group whose ultimate goal is to take down Vought International and the corrupt Supes they own by any means necessary. Not too long ago, Hughie led a pretty unremarkable and mediocre life. He was a mild-mannered guy with a boring job at a small electronics store, who still lives at home with his father Hugh Campbell Sr. in the same bedroom he grew up in. The only light in his life is the love of his life: his girlfriend Robin. That is, until a speedster superhero named A-Train runs through Robin, eviscerating and killing her on impact. Desperate for revenge, Hughie is recruited by anti-Supe vigilante Billy Butcher and his world is turned upside down when he finds himself caught in the middle of a war against superheroes – who, as it turns out, are neither super nor heroic.

   Keys: Homelander, John

   Homelander is the leader of The Seven, the strongest Supe in the world, and the archenemy of Billy Butcher, the leader of The Boys. With the face of a movie star and the power of a god, Homelander is considered the greatest superhero alive. Not only can he fly, but he possesses super hearing, super strength and super durability far beyond most supes, and can see through anything except for zinc with his X-ray vision, as well as being able to burn and cut through things by shooting a red-colored beam of heat energy from out of his eyes.

   On the surface, he's affable, modest, and sincere; the ultimate Boy Scout, an American treasure, a God-fearing patriot, but just like mere mortals; even superheroes have secrets.

   Keys: Annie January, Annie, Starlight

   Annie January is as down-to-earth and sincere as they come, the girl next door with superpowers. And as Starlight, "The Defender of Des Moines", all she's ever wanted to do is save the world — and while a lot of people say that as a corny catchphrase, she actually means it. So, when she's selected to join The Seven, it's every dream she's ever had come true.

   However, that dream becomes her worst nightmare when this fresh-faced Midwesterner arrives in New York and learns that the old adage is true: never meet your heroes.

   Annie's trademark power is that she can absorb the ambient electricity from her surroundings in order to fuel her powers. This allows her to blackout a small area before releasing the held energy as focused blasts of light. Currently there is no limit which has been established for how much power Annie can safely absorb or how long she can contain it within.

    Keys: Margaret Shaw, Queen Maeve, Maggie

    As a warrior, a feminist, a humanitarian, and second most powerful member of The Seven, Queen Maeve is the ultimate role model for little girls all over the world. But to reach such astonishing heights, she's had to make sacrifices along the way. Embracing the image that Vought demanded she accept meant abandoning the truths – and even some of the people – she held dear.

    Disillusioned and cynical, she's now a shell of the determined idealist she once was, although she is regaining some of what she once was when she came to the aid of The Boys against Stormfront and Homelander. One of Queen Maeve's primary abilities is tremendously enhanced superhuman strength, far greater than that of normal human beings. She was one of the most physically powerful Supes to have ever lived, only surpassed by Homelander. Her strength is so great that when she was younger, she punched a falling school bus, even though doing so broke her own arm in four places. Her feats include breaking a speeding armored truck in half by standing still, effortlessly flipping a table across an apartment, and effortlessly snapping a man's neck after lifting him with one hand. During the filming of movie, she was able to lift a large hunk of metal. She also possesses the ability to leap great distances.

    Keys: Reginald Franklin, Reggie, A-Train

    He is a speedster who used to be a part of the team known as the Teenage Kix, and is a returning member of The Seven. He inadvertently killed Robin Ward, girlfriend of Hughie Campbell, with his powers while high on Compound V, an action which led to Hughie becoming his archenemy, ultimately leading to him joining The Boys and the events of the show.

    A-Train was let go from The Seven, but has since been asked to rejoin, and is the current "fastest man in the world". Underneath the cavalier exterior of a celebrity superhero lies the soul of a mortal athlete, with a deep insecurity about staying at the top. He'll do whatever it takes to remain in The Seven, because he knows it's only a matter of time until a younger, faster challenger takes his place — and that's a problem even the fastest man in the world can't outrun. A-train is a complex individual with many inner struggles. Initially, like most "superheroes", A-Train is greedy, self-centered, egotistical and mostly interested in fame, fortune and publicity rather than helping others. In fact, he displays a remarkable level of cutthroat ruthlessness, possibly even to the point of sociopathy. It is also implied during a conversation with Starlight about The Seven possibly losing their financial assets that A-Train's obsession with maintaining his wealth and celebrity status might be rooted his impoverish upbringing and measures his own self-worth by his lavish lifestyle of being a Vought-owned supe.

    Keys: Mother's Milk, Marvin T. Milk, M.M

    "Mother's Milk" or "M.M" forms the heart of the team, and is almost always the only one of them to keep both a cool head and his senses in compromising situations. Stylish and street smart, Milk displays a penchant for classic West Coast Hip Hop shirts.

    Possessing vast wisdom of the more traditional kind, when The Boys find themselves in a sticky situation, or acting out of character, Milk bestows this wisdom upon them, either to inspire them, or set them on a better path.

    After his grandfather was killed by a Supe, and his father subsequently died of stress trying to seek justice, Milk became determined to bring down Vought and expose the crimes of all superheroes. Though a member of the Boys, Milk worries that Billy Butcher’s win-at-all-cost pursuit of Homelander will put lives at risk—especially the people he cares about. As a result, the two bump heads more than regularly.

    Keys: The Deep, Kevin Moskowitz

    He is a superhero and a member of The Seven. The Deep can breathe underwater and communicate with sea creatures. His attractive features have made him Vought’s social media propaganda. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much all the company wants from him — because he’s The Seven’s token aquatic Superhero. But he knows he could be doing so much more than flashing his biceps on Instagram if only they’d let him... even though he’s secretly proud that his profile gets 4 million hits a day. The Deep was presented as unethical and manipulative. Aware of Starlight's youthful infatuation with him, he falsely claimed that he was second only to Homelander in importance to The Seven, and threatened her with expulsion from the team unless she performed oral sex on him.

    During his tenure with The Seven, The Deep seemed mindful of the fact that he was regarded as the least valuable member. He complained to Starlight that Vought only wants him to make "pretty dives" and show off his biceps. He also became belligerent when Starlight, having learned that The Deep lied to her about his importance to the group to coerce her into sexual acts, angrily told him "everyone thinks you're a joke."

    The Deep also felt no remorse over having manipulated Starlight in this way, only apologizing when he was forced to.

    Keys: Serge, Frenchie

    A drug-dabbling, gunrunning jack-of-all-trades, Frenchie’s skillsets are an invaluable resource to Butcher and The Boys, but his impulsive decisions are an eternal source of frustration to Mother's Milk. Frenchie’s got a history as a killer-for-hire — and those jobs, and the human faces behind them, have always stayed with him, like scars. But he’ll rediscover his humanity when he finds a woman locked in a cage in a basement who’s part of a larger mystery, and Frenchie is the only one of The Boys who’s able to connect with her. Despite his troubled past, Frenchie is an extremely empathetic character, and cares very deeply for the well-being of his allies. He also proves to be the most intelligent member of the group, with the widest skill-set. He is a multi-talented criminal with knowledge of many criminal endeavors, whether it's producing drugs, smuggling weapons, breaking and entering, break-ins and lying to authorities. He's so talented at the latter that he was able to flawlessly fool Homelander, despite his great power.

    He seems to be psychedelics enthusiast, as when Hughie is panicking about keeping Translucent as a prisoner, Frenchie offers him an LSD/MDMA cocktail to calm his nerves. In his spare time he seems to enjoy baking pastries and other French dishes and is stable enough to coach Kimiko.

    Frenchie claims he carries the memory of each person he has killed with him, and in one of his conversations with Hughie he implies that he feels quite guilty about his past as a hit man. He later tells Mother’s Milk that he feels Kimiko makes him a better person, implying this is part of his motivation for helping her. His association with Kimiko has also given him a certain degree of fluency in Japanese Sign Language.

    Keys: The Female, Kimiko Miyashiro

    When The Boys find her imprisoned in a cage in a basement under high security, they mistake her for a victim in desperate need of saving. But as The Boys unravel the mystery surrounding her, they follow a trail of blood and gore to learn that she’s a badass who might just end up saving them instead.

    And as they’ll discover, the puzzle of her origins is part of something larger and far more terrifying than they ever imagined. Kimiko could best be described as mute, brutal and unpredictable, due to the years of abuse and imprisonment she was forced to endure.

    The Female was at first considered a threat and mistrusted by everyone in The Boys except Frenchie, who is implied to be the first person to treat her with kindness and she begins to form a bond with him. After she flees and Frenchie is attacked by Black Noir in an alley, Kimiko intervenes and saves his life, demonstrating the bond they had developed had become a mutual trust.

    Keys: Black Noir, Earving

    He was a mute, darkly costumed superhero and a member of The Seven. Silent, stealthy, and enigmatic, Black Noir was The Seven’s superpowered ninja. His super strength and heightened senses were matched only by his proficiency in the martial arts. Criminals ran in terror at the mere mention of his name. Little is known about this lethal warrior, other than having trained with a master sensei to become the death dealer he used to be. To the public whatever lies behind Black Noir’s mask is a complete mystery – which only made him more terrifying.

    Noir lost his ability to think properly and speak after Soldier Boy violently beat part of his brain in and stuck his face on top of a burning car. This left Noir horrifically disfigured, rendering him with the same mental age as a 7 year old child. This damage to his brain also caused Noir to experience constant delusions of the cartoon mascots of Buster Beaver's Pizza Restaurant, whom he imagines as his best friends.

    Curiously, despite his brutality, Noir displayed a great deal of solicitude for innocent lives and had displayed profound sensitivity.

    Keys: Madelyn Stillwell

    Vought’s Senior Vice President of Hero Management, it was Madelyn Stillwell’s job to manage the world’s greatest superhero team, The Seven. It was also her job to ensure maximum power and profitability for the company – and that’s a job she executes with ruthless efficiency. But her ambitions went beyond merely having superheroes fighting crime on America’s streets; she desired to put them in the military, through a multi-billion-dollar government contract. Stillwell would gain the position of Senior Vice President of Hero Management after "backstabbing" The Legend with the help of Stan Edgar. Stillwell works closely with all of its Supes; most particularly, The Seven. Stillwell seemed to have a closeness with Homelander particularly, being one of the only people at Vought capable of keeping him under control, via letting him suckle on her large, heavy breasts.

    Keys: Ashley Barrett

    Ashley was Madelyn Stillwell's assistant. Being assigned to deal with The Seven's new recruit, Starlight, Ashley booked her an appearance at the Believe Expo. But between her and Vought’s mistreatment of Starlight and forcing her into their constant scripts and demands, the superheroine had enough and revealed the truth of her frustrations on live TV, resulting in Ashley getting fired.

    After Madelyn Stillwell was murdered, Homelander recommended Ashley to fill her spot. Ashley is thrilled to have the opportunity to not only get her old job back, but with a promotion, yet Homelander quickly reminds her that she is there to tell him what's going on and that he is really in charge.

    Ashley tries to help fill the empty spot in The Seven but soon realizes that she has very little power as Homelander and Stan Edgar seem to make all of the important decisions.

    Keys: Klara Risinger, Liberty, Stormfront

    Stormfront joined the Seven after Translucent's death became public, and was briefly a rival to Homelander before the two became lovers. She was adept at using social media and had a large following online.

    Though she denied it in public, Stormfront was a closet Nazi who used her position as a member of the Seven to promote her white supremacist agenda. She took extreme pleasure in killing anybody who was not white, which is demonstrated when she massacres a entire block of apartments containing black residents while chasing Kenji Miyashiro. Stormfront's main ability is her electrokinesis; she is possibly the strongest user of this power, being deemed worthy of joining The Seven. By utilizing charged particles, Stormfront can produce and manipulate electricity, which she often uses in combat. Due to her being a Nazi, Stormfront is an extreme racist and this often leads her to make incredibly poor decisions simply to satisfy her bigoted mindset. This includes isolating herself from potential allies such as making racist remarks to A-Train to simply engaging in unneeded destruction such as when she destroyed an entire apartment complex simply because the inhabitants were minorities. This is what eventually led to her true nature being discovered, thanks to A-Train providing Starlight with Stormfront's file, thereby ruining her public image and robbing her of a great deal of her power. Despite having been alive for over a century and having been active with her powers that entire time, Stormfront has shown to have virtually no fighting skills outside of her plasma manipulation powers.

    Keys: Victoria Neuman

    She is a congresswoman of the United States, as well as an anti-Supe activist and founding director of the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs. However, it was recently revealed that Victoria Neuman is not only a Supe herself, but she is none other than the infamous "Head-Popper" who murdered Susan Raynor, Jonah Vogelbaum, Alastair Adana, and several other members of Congress. Victoria was adopted by Stan Edgar from the Red River orphanage after Victoria (known then as Nadia) presumably killed her birth parents either accidentally or intentionally.

    As the Director of the FBSA, Congresswoman Neuman helps make the world a safer place. By compromising with Vought, she’s been able to root out the bad apples amongst the supes, which has meant more people alive and at home with their families at the end of every day. Now, with her soaring political ambitions — and popularity — there’s no limit to what she can achieve. appearing to be strong-willed, thoughtful and sincere with a deep distrust and dislike of Vought, Victoria is later revealed to be a ruthless, calculating, methodical, manipulative, and brutally pragmatic woman, whilst possessing some level of sadism. Raised and taught by her adoptive father, Stan Edgar, Victoria had acquired the mindset, skills, and discretion that would be instrumental to pursuing a career in politics and carry out her ambitions, eventually culminating in her becoming a US Congresswoman and later a Vice Presidential candidate. From her career as a politician, Neuman discretely worked in favor of both Edgar's interests and her own. Victoria Neuman appears to exhibit a psychic influence over the pressure and speed of molecules to the point of combustion. Thus far, she has only been known to exert this power on living beings. Whilst she seems to favorably focus this ability on the heads of her victims, she has also demonstrated the capability of combusting a single extremity or an entire body.

    Keys: Stan Edgar

    He is the CEO of Vought International and the superior of Madelyn Stillwell. Although he initially keeps to himself while conducting business, he decides to take a more direct approach in managing Vought and its assets, such as The Seven, following Stillwell's death. Stan Edgar is a stoic, serious and imposing man. He's a cutthroat, bossy and ruthlessly pragmatic businessman who despite being polite and friendly, mostly interacts with people for business reasons. Unlike Madelyn Stillwell, he has no intention of working with the assets of the company like The Seven, it was only after Madelyn's death that he decided to work closely with them. He has a very complicated and tense relationship with Homelander, he is one of the few people who is not afraid of him, and he even mocks him by calling him "man-child" but even with that he considers Homelander his friend. Despite knowing that Homelander is the world's most powerful superhero he doesn't see him as their most valuable asset, explaining that would be the Compound V's secret formula.

    Stan is also a very practical man who always prefers to dialogue and make deals with people as long as he gets some benefit in return.

    He began his career as an associate for Vought American in 1984 and eventually rose up to become the chief executive of the modern-day Vought International due to his calm, collected, and ruthless personality. As one of the few people who shows no fear towards Homelander, Edgar is the cool-headed puppet-master with a shadowy past; he pulled the strings that move Vought forward, no matter the cost.

    Keys: Frederick Vought

    Doctor Frederick Vought was the inventor of Compound V, the husband of Stormfront, and the founder of Vought-American, later known as Vought International. Before defecting to America in the 1940s, he was a prominent geneticist in the Nazi Party.

    Despite the fact that they betrayed the Nazis, Fredrick and his wife never lost their belief in the party's ideology. As a result, the two of them eventually plotted to use Compound V to create an army of superhumans and launch a global race war. As a geneticist ahead of his time, it can be assumed that Frederick was an intellectual. However, despite his immense knowledge in human genetics, he still believed in Adolf Hitler's ideas of racial superiority. At the same time, he was not willing to die for his ideals and had no problem in defecting to the Allies when it became clear that Germany would lose the war, even though he still believed in the Nazi Party's ideology.

    Keys: Ben, Soldier Boy, Benjamin

    He was America's first and greatest superhero before Homelander and the former leader of the superhero team Payback. As a young man, Soldier Boy helped good triumph over evil in World War II. However, it is not made clear how much of that is true, as The Legend claimed that his participation in the war was Vought propaganda whereas Stan Edgar actually claims the opposite by stating that he killed germans by the dozens. With his superhero team Payback by his side, he was said to have fought for liberty and justice for all until his disappearance during a botched military operation in Nicaragua, with the cover story being that he heroically sacrificed his own life to save America from a nuclear power plant meltdown in 1984. Ben was a very arrogant, macho, violent and reckless bully who was at times abusive to those who disagreed with him, and had no qualms with using his status and power to intimidate and manipulate others for his own ends. In spite of his hyper-masculine persona, Soldier Boy is capable of showing respect. Soldier Boy was the most powerful superhero before Homelander and remains second only to him as the strongest being on the planet.Soldier Boy is traumatized by the Russian torture and experiments he endured for almost forty years. One of his known triggers is a Russian song called Escape, which was played while he was being experimented on. When reminded of his trauma, he is emotionally overwhelmed and tends to lose control of his powers, particularly his new energy blast power. Furthermore, he refuses to admit to having PTSD. As a coping mechanism, The Boys supply him with heavy amounts of Cannabis to calm his nerves and block his triggers. This seemed to work, but also increased his paranoia as a side effect.

24. #24selective

    Keys: The Legend

    He was the Senior Vice President of Hero Management for Vought International prior to Madelyn Stillwell. He is an occasional ally of The Boys. The Legend is an eccentric old man who does cocaine and fondly speaks of the old days, with some less than normal seeming stories to share, yet doesn't speak highly of his history with Vought, due to being sickened at the deranged and sick antics of the Supes. He was implied to be a supporter for the Civil Rights Movement as well opposed America's involvement in the Vietnam War, even expressing disgust over Soldier Boy's aggressive actions to suppress protestors who spoke out during that team, even hinting Soldier Boy may have been in involved in JFK's assassination, much to the Legend's disgust.

    He was the predecessor to Madelyn Stillwell, and once worked to cover up countless heroes' misdeeds. Despite this, he greatly despised his career and history with Vought, and came to mellow out later in life, and is disgusted by the tactics and backstabbing of both Stan Edgar and Stillwell; even back in the old days he had some standards, he apparently took discomfort when Soldier Boy, who was 63, had a love interest played by then 19-year-old Phoebe Cates in one of his films. He also seemed to genuinely appreciate the concept of superheroes, wishing they could be 'real' heroes instead of stage performers. He also kept Soldier Boy's old costume out of sentimentality.

    He is also distrusting of Billy Butcher, as at one point in the past, he helped the Boys, but Billy screwed him over, resulting in him losing a leg. He points out that Billy is a toxic influence who destroys the lives of everyone around him.

It is run by former congresswoman Victoria Neuman acting in the position of director.
