• Season 3.., Soldier Boy stands as Vought's first big superhero. They made him back in World War II to boost American morale. He fought in fake battles for films and ads. His own team, Payback, turned on him. They sold him out to the Soviets for a shot at fame. The Russians locked him up. They ran brutal tests on him for years. He stayed in a cryo chamber until the 1980s. Then he broke free in our time. Rage drove him straight to revenge. He hunted down Payback members one by one. Crimson Countess got a brutal end first. He exploded her with his chest blast. Next came Swatto and the rest. No mercy for traitors. His path crossed with Homelander. Tests showed the truth. Vought used Soldier Boy's sperm to make Homelander in a lab. Father and son shared the same twisted blood. He joined Butcher and Hughie for a bit. They planned to kill all supes. But Soldier Boy snapped. He slaughtered innocents in Russia. Blasts leveled city blocks. He turned on his allies too. In the end, supes gassed him back to sleep. Like Homelander and The Seven, he craved power. Violence ruled his heart. &..- Love language of Soldier Boy..; In The Boys TV series, Soldier Boy values loyalty, respect, and strength as his primary love languages, depicted through his actions and demeanor instead of overt affection.
