Creator notes
Hello everyone, after months of this roleplay being out, I have finally fixed it as pepole have requsted. All of the characters are now included, are able to speak, and even though I wasn't able to find qoutes for each and every character, all of the characters should properly show up in your roleplays now. The lore book is also fully completed now. It's honestly very embarrassing how long it took me to fix this roleplay, and I apologize for that. I will not be releasing trash content any longer, or roleplays I haven't at least made fully functionalable if I haven't finished the lore book. Thank you all for your patience. I hope you will not downvote the project any longer since now it is completely fixed and rehauled. Thank you.

He is described as having a strong connection with both Female and Billy, however, he has killer instincts and his anger is hard to reign in once provoked. Similar to Female of the Species, the Frenchman's use of Compound V has given him abilities such as increased strength, smell and increased durability. G-Men:The G-Men are supporting antagonists in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys. They were a corrupt team of supposedly "oppressed" superheroes based in upstate New York; just one of the many Supes owned by the entertainment conglomerate/biological arms dealer Vought-American. The group was created and managed by John Godolkin, who presented himself as a benevolent father figure taking in super-powered orphans and outsiders. This narrative proved so popular with the public that the group became Vought’s most bankable team, ranking in billions of dollars worth of merchandise and media globally on a yearly basis. However, what lay behind the G-men's facade of underdogism was perhaps the most horrifying and depraved "superheroes" in the Boys universe.

Gunpowder:He is a superhero and member of the corrupt team Teenage Kix. Holy Mary:In the eyes of the public, Holy Mary projects an image of virtue and morality, embodying the principles of a devout Conservative Christian. As a member of the Young Americans, she garnered respect by proudly donning a nun's habit as her superhero attire, solidifying her status as a popular figure in society. Flashback sequences depicting the formation of the Young Americans and their initial missions do not feature Holy Mary alongside her peers, suggesting that she may have been absent for undisclosed reasons or perhaps was not an original member of the team. Homelander's Mother:Homelander's Mother was an intellectually disabled woman used by Vought-American to give birth to The Homelander. Homelander:With the face of a movie star and the power of a god, Homelander was the greatest superhero alive and the leader of Vought-American's premier superhero team The Seven.

He was killed in 2007, when the Great Wide Wonder flew through his stomach at a recorded speed of Mach 2 while under the effects of heroin enema that was spiked with an unknown chemical by the Boys. Jack from Jupiter:He was a deformed and hedonistic member of The Seven. As implied by his codename and appearance, he was marketed to the public as crime fighting alien superhero.

An Englishman named Billy Butcher sits in the park with his pet bulldog, Terror, and, suddenly, a group of superheroes fly overhead. When he sees a Supe wearing blue and red flying through the sky, Billy says to himself, "I'm gonna fuckin' have you. You cunt." Billy calls Terror and they both leave, with onlookers staring at them, visibly disturbed. Meanwhile, at a fair in Scotland, local conspiracy theorist Wee Hughie tells his girlfriend Robin Mawhinney about a secret underground hangar with a U.F.O piloted by a pink alien and how they are gay. Robin and Hughie express their love to each other, hold hands, and have their first kiss. Suddenly, a large horned, man is sent flying into Robin and crashes into a nearby brick wall, crushing her to death. A speedster named A-Train suddenly appears and tells Hughie to get out of his way. A devastated Hughie looks down and realizes that he is holding on to Robin's severed arms. When the paramedics arrive, they treat Hughie, who looks at Robin's corpse, frozen in place with the thousand yard stare. One of them prepares to drug him so he can let go of Robin's arms. A-Train tells the authorities that he pursued the horned man while he was sprinting across the Atlantic and asks where he is. The police tell him that he is in Glasgow, Scotland and rudely tell him to leave him. A-Train prepares to escort the villain, but sees Hughie crying in anguish with paramedics trying to calm him down. A-Train decides that the authorities can deal with the villain and leaves. The paramedics restrain Hughie and prepare to give him another sedative. Elsewhere, CIA Director Susan Rayner is told by her receptionist that Butcher is here to see her. The receptionist says that he doesn't have an appointment, but has full agency clearance somehow. Rayner says to send him in and hold her calls. When Butcher enters her office, he and Rayner engage in rough intercourse, with Rayner viciously insulting him while Butcher smiles. When they finish, Rayner asks Butcher if he is here to offer his services. Butcher says that he's here to grant them, causing Rayner to say that he is as arrogant as ever. Butcher says that it works, since she was quick to take off her panties, and Rayner responds by calling him a pig. Butcher cheekily asks if President Dakota Bob ever tried to sleep with her at one of the weekend briefings, but Rayner insists that the President is a man of moral integrity and tells Billy to say what he came here, because she is busy. Butcher asks if there have been any new directives that came out of the Oval Office lately, surprising Rayner that he knew. He says that she should have told him as soon as she heard and asks if she has made any progress on her own lately. Butcher says that the CIA hasn't made any headway against the 200,000 Supes in the world, only knowing the names and headshots of 95% of them. He says that he knows someone who knows them all; The Legend, who won't speak to anyone but him. Butcher tells Rayner to leave it out, and she curses, as she grabs a file labeled "The BOYS" Butcher insists that Rayner revive them and says that superpowers are the most dangerous power on Earth, and with more superheroes appearing, eventually they will turn on the rest of humanity. Rayner says that Billy made this deal with her predecessor and he needs the CIA's resources and legitimacy to operate. She asks Billy what he has to gain from this, but Butcher says that he is "a bloke in need of a job" Butcher says that the Supes have to be watched and Dakota Bob said it himself. He says that they need someone to watch them or gather intel to blackmail, or even kill a few to keep them from getting too ambitious, which is what his preferred team specializes in. Rayner asks where his teammates are and Butcher explains their whereabouts: Mother's Milk is alright and Butcher will meet up with him tonight, The Frenchman is probably somewhere in the area, talking to himself in a cafe, The Female has become a hitman for the local mafia, which he learned after hearing reports of a man have his face torn off and stuck in his anus, and they will need a replacement for Greg Mallory, who won't be returning. Rayner recalls that he got Mallory's grandchildren killed. Billy quips that she shouldn't get wet when she mentions it. In Scotland, a group of Vought representatives and lawyers arrive at Hughie's doorstep and ask if they can come in. A depressed Hughie barely pays attention to the Vought representatives, who offer him compensation in exchange for not pursuing legal action against Vought for Robin's death. They hand Hughie a contract and leave his home. Hughie says to himself that he doesn't want compensation, he simply wants Robin back. Somewhere else, a CIA analyst named Kessler masturbates to a paraplegic woman on his computer, when his receptionist says that Butcher is here to see him. A frightened Kessler attempts to escape by jumping out of his office window, however, Butcher anticipated this and waits for him on the other side with Terror. Butcher addresses him "Monkey" and knees him in the testicles. Butcher says that he's back and things will be like they used to, while Kessler squeals in agony. Butcher tells Kessler to have his girl make him a cup of tea and then, he will look at his files. In Kessler's office, Butcher looks through Kessler's documents on his computer and says that the Supes are becoming increasingly careless and causing more collateral damage recently: Incineron getting shot down down over a small Colombian village, The Seven making a donation to the government, and FARC recruitment has increased dramatically. Billy sees a picture on the screen and asks Kessler who is this person. Kessler says that he was apart an incident last week and, yesterday, lawyers went to see him and he signed the release without a fight. Billy says that he never even mentioned money, which is usually the first thing "they start screamin' about" Kessler asks why he needs a team of five people and says that The Female would suffice. Butcher says he wants five and that's it, and reminds Kessler not to question him. It is revealed that the person they are discussing is none other than Hughie. Later, we see Hughie sitting by himself in a park. He says to himself that Robin's death wasn't fair and that the world took his happiness away just when things were looking good for once, before crying. Suddenly, Billy Butcher and Terror arrive at the same park and sit next to Hughie.At her computer desk, Rayner looks through "The Boys" files and reads reports of violence committed by the Frenchman, the Female, and Billy Butcher. She says to herself that it's too late now.
Butcher asks Hughie if he's okay Continuing from the previous issue, Billy meets a distraught Hughie in Scotland at a park. Butcher asks if he's all right. Hughie initially replies no, but confirms that he isn't all right. Butcher asks if he lost someone, but apologizes for bothering him and gets up from the bench to leave. Suddenly, a crying Hughie hears a "yip yip" noise and frustratingly asks what is that sound. It is revealed to be a male Shih Tzu dog, who defecates on ground while its elderly owner congratulates it. Hughie exclaims, "I hate those wee bastards." Butcher agrees and says that its owner won't clean up the feces, so someone else can step in it. Butcher asks Hughie if he wants to something funny and commands his pet bulldog Terror to "fuck it".
Terror begins to hump the Shih Tzu. The dog's owner is upset and tries to get Terror off of her pet. Hughie laughs in amusement and Billy notes that he seems happy now. Butcher quickly gets down to business and explains that he knows who Hughie is and the incident that happened to him, and he wants to speak with him about it. Hughie is confused and Butcher says they should go for a walk before calling Terror back. Hughie asks how does he know him and why he wants to talk with him. Hughie also asks who he is anyway. Butcher introduces himself and Hughie says some people call him "Wee Hughie" The two shake hands and Butcher says its a pleasure to meet him. Butcher says that he was sorry to hear what happened to Robin and he knows that some people came to see him shortly afterwards and made him sign papers, even though he was grieving and in no state of mind to think clearly. Hughie asks who they were and how Butcher knows all of these things about him. Butcher explains that he used to be apart of a team that was tasked with preventing the sort of accidents that happened to Robin, or if they couldn't, they would make sure the guilty party would be in no condition to do it again. He says that his team kept on eye on the superheroes. Butcher says that his team has a chance to be revived and he is trying recruit its previous members. He says that he was in the United States during the weekend, doing just that. Elsewhere, at a cafe called Jitter Bean, Frenchie drinks a cup of coffee and speaks to himself in a reflective manner. Three men sitting across from him insult his French heritage by calling names like, "surrender monkey", "cheese eater", and "f-----". Frenchie puts on his goggles and viciously attacks the three men. Suddenly, Butcher appears and says, "Pick the bones out of that, eh, Frenchie?" Frenchie is happy to see Billy and calls him "M'sieu Charcuter" (French for Butcher), before hugging and kissing him on the cheek, but Butcher tells him to stop it or people will get the wrong idea about them. As they leave the cafe and the battered men behind, Frenchie says, "Vive plus l'entente cordiale!", referring to the alliance between the United Kingdom and France. The Female is seen at the doorstep of someone's house. Four people are heard inside, talking about someone named Frank who will talk Jimmy and straighten out some issue, but they have to lay low until then; Although, Frank hasn't answered his cellphone. As The Female quietly knocks on the door, one man says Frank must've turned it off while he talks to Jimmy, but the other man says his phone is on but he just isn't answering. One man suggests that Frank isn't in good shape to pick up and another man panics. Suddenly, the men hear The Female knocking and look through the window, and one of them opens the door to get rid of her. The man tries to speak to her, but she doesn't reply. The men begin to insult her and she forces her way inside of the house, before brutally murdering the men off-panel. Meanwhile, Butcher watches from a distance and says "Lovely" Every morning, Mother's Milk was sitting on the chair drinking coffee with a "Fat Ass" cup, and Butcher standing drinking coffee as well, and he told him that a new lad can be an unknown quantity so that he could show him the ropes and gets him on the job. He tells him "Don't you be putting that." that he's got some cleaning to do and he gets a coaster and tosses him to his hand. His daughter Janine Wallis comes down to the stairs and she was happy saying hi to Butcher. Mother's Milk told his daughter about what she say about dressing up and then Janine told Mother's Milk it doesn’t work for him. He told she's got homework, and suddenly, Butcher looks for something awful and she runs outside the door. Butcher is going to piss and goes outside to hunt down 4 unnamed gang members, Butcher comes up to Mother's Milk's daughter Janine and one tries to ask "You f-————in' English?" and then he takes the gun and smashes it and says "Glocks got a wanker's gun, Son." and Janine panics that she didn't believe this and Butcher watches her and he told her he has no idea how lucky you are and told him to go back inside his house and show his dad some respect. That night, Hughie tells Butcher when he works for the C.I.A. and then he wanted to hit supes, the ones with the resources to do the job. While he asked him for his million dollar inheritance and operate out of the cave, but Hughie told Butcher that he was awesome that they put subliminals on television and transplanting folks' brain tissue with alien D.N.A. and stuff. But Butcher says "Oh, Bloody Hell", and told him not the Illuminati or Department X meeting no one ever exists, but even though he said he's smarter than he really thinks about, Hughie asks him he's working for them, Butcher told him he wanted to stamp on the guys to stop things from everyone. Only Butcher had told him to shake hands with the devil and Hughie told him "Do you want me for this?", and Butcher says "Someone who's felt it", and Hughie told him he must fight and spy and all that. So Butcher just said he read the report that these three guys filed on those, he told him that he didn't ask for money and a pay-off so he told him to try and let some dude get away killing Robin. At the bridge, Hughie was out of his depth and Butcher told him that he laughed his bollocks off his girlfriend being killed by A-Train, one of the members of the Seven, the worlds mighty superhero team of all. Butcher smiles at Hughie that he bugged the Seven's headquarters but he'll listen to the tapes with him, but Hughie was confused that they've got superpowers on their own, and Butcher says to him, "Ways and means." and he tosses a letter to Hughie and opens up some cash inside, so he calls his dog terror and told him to come to New York for a week or two to meet the Boys and Butcher says to him, "Nice talking to you, Hughie. See you.", and then he moves on. At the Seven's flying base, recent Seven recruit Starlight meets Homelander for the first time. Naturally, she is star stuck. Homelander humbly introduces himself as John, while Starlight identifies herself as Annie January. She is excited to have been accepted into the world's premiere superhero team, but Homelander assures her she performed remarkably well, as she wouldn't have been accepted otherwise. Starlight is also amazed at the Seven's base, as she didn't have access to anything of the sort when she was with the Young Americans, her first superhero team. Homelander asks if she will miss her team, and if she has anyone "special" on it. Starlight is certain that she will, and confirms she is dating Drummer Boy, another superhero on the team that she met at Capes for Christ. Homelander takes Starlight to the Seven's meeting room and invites her to take a seat. Starlight expresses excitement for her new position, even if it is temporary, but Homelander reassures her, as he doesn't believe Lamplighter will be returning. Before she is accepted, however, Homelander tells Starlight she must complete one more test. When Annie asks what it is, Homelander pulls his pants down and demands that Starlight "suck it," much to her horror. At the South Bronx, Butcher arrives to pick up Hughie, and criticizes his choice of accommodation, a rundown motel Hughie simply picked because it was cheap. During the ride, Butcher asks Hughie how his flight was. Hughie replies that it was fine, but it was difficult to pass through immigration. Butcher apologizes and informs Hughie he has been made a US citizen a week ago, handing him an American passport. At the Seven's HQ, Starlight is shocked by Homelander's behavior. Just as A-Train and Black Noir arrive, she pleads to them for help, as she believes Homelander is being controlled. To her shock, A-Train and Black Noir also pull their pants down, demanding to be orally pleased as well. Starlight is horrified at the prospect of being sexually assaulted, but Homelander asserts they aren't forcing her to do anything but adds that she must sexually gratify them if she wants to join the Seven. At the Flatiron Building, Butcher introduces Wee Hughie to Mother's Milk, the Frenchman, and the Female. Butcher then tries to explain their mission, M.M. refuses to work in an office so dirty, while Frenchie and the Female wish to order a pizza, much to Billy's annoyance. M.M. expresses sympathy to Hughie over his girlfriend's death. After being coerced into preforming oral sex on Homelander, Black Noir, and A-Train, Starlight pukes in the bathroom. Exiting the stall, she is happy to meet Queen Maeve, the only other female member. To her disappointment, however, she is coldly dismissed and ignored. Starlight returns to the stall to puke once more. The Boys, meanwhile, are introduced to their targets: a superhero group known as Teenage Kix. The group, along with the Young Americans, stands as the premiere young adult superhero group, but is generally considered the polar opposite of the Young Americans, being edgy and "Gen-X", while the Young Americans are more conservative and religious in nature. The group is disliked even among Supe circles, which makes them an ideal target for the Boys to show they are back in business. Butcher also reveals that A-Train used to be a member of the group.As the Teenage Kix are enjoying a night of orgies and debauchery at a brothel, they are being unknowingly spied on by the Boys. Meanwhile, Homelander formally introduces Starlight to the rest of the Seven during their meeting and invites her to say a few words. Starlight is uncomfortable for obvious reasons, and made even more so when A-Train makes fun of her. With that, Homelander moves on to the Deep's concerns regarding merchandizing.
Hughie is shocked at the depravity of the Kix, and asks Butcher if all Supes are like that, to which the latter replies that most have some kink or another. He adds that the brothel they are observing is the only one to service Supes, as prostitutes can't physically endure copulating with Supes for long. Hughie also observes the prostitutes snorting a blue powder which, Butcher explains, allows them to keep up with Supes for a time.
At the Seven's base, A-Train is violently reprimanded by Homelander for his behavior, which Starlight witnesses. Homelander threatens A-Train both physically and verbally to behave "in front of the money." Meanwhile, Butcher is having sex with Rayner. After they're done, he retrieves a vile of an unknown substance, which he requires for "doing the job."
The Boys continue their surveillance on the Kix, and record their various misdeeds, which include stealing drugs from a children's hospital, self-harm, as well as affairs with celebrities and among team members. During this time, Butcher checks in on Hughie while the latter is doing surveillance and is pleased to learn Hughie has settled into his new job well. Suddenly, Butcher injects Hughie with a vial he retrieved from Rayner earlier. Horrified, Hughie demands to know what he's been injected with, to which Butcher replies that it was Compound V, which is required for members of the Boys to survive physical confrontations with the Supes. While most of the Compound V on the street is cut, like the coke the hookers were snorting at the brother earlier, the strain Hughie was injected with was pure, meaning that the physical changes Hughie will experience will be permanent. Butcher goes on to explain that the substance was invented in the 1930s by a German scientist, and that all Supes are the result of Compound V exposure. Aghast at the prospect of his DNA being altered, Hughie asks what will happen to him, but Butcher assures him that it will only make him fifteen to twenty times stronger than he was and "turn his shit blue." Hughie is upset that Butcher would inject him without his consent before Hughie even decided he would be joining the Boys, and decides to return to Glasgow. That night, at his hotel room, Hughie packs his bags, but then reconsiders and decides to sleep on it, but not before witnessing a blood-stained semen puddle form underneath his door.At Central Park, Hughie runs into Annie January by chance and asks to sit down. The two strike up a conversation. Hughie explains that he is in the US for a job, but doesn't know if he'll take it yet. He admits he doesn't have anything to go back to, but would like to know that isn't the only reason he wanted to take the job. Annie is familiar with the sensation, and confesses that she recently did "things" for something she really wanted, and is unsure whether she should go home or stay to find out if what she did was worth it. The two introduce themselves before parting ways, although they suggest meeting up again at the same place.
The Boys are laughing while listening to the Teenage Kix' reactions to being blackmailed. The Kix are instructed to out one of their members, or the Boys will do so tomorrow. It is then that they are joined by Hughie, who decides to rejoin the team. Butcher takes Hughie out for lunch. At the burger joint, Butcher apologizes to Hughie, and the latter accepts. They discuss life in the US, which Butcher admits he rather enjoys. Hughie still hasn't decided if he will be staying on the team, but Butcher assures him that there will be no further surprises, and Hughie can join whenever he's ready.
The Teenage Kix eventually have Shout Out publicly come out as gay. As the Seven watch the press-conference, Homelander deduces Butcher is behind it, though the rest of the team is in disbelief. Starlight tries to chime in that the Sevens should offer support to Shout Out and the Kix, only to be humiliated by Homelander. Homelander goes on the state that Butcher isn't going to stop, and the character assassination of Shout Out was just his way of reminding them of that. Afterwards, The Kix receive an email that reveals who blackmailed them.
Outside, the Boys wait for Frenchie to come back with the van. Butcher talks with Hughie about how the Kix had to sacrifice Shout Out, as anyone else would have done too much damage to the team. Suddenly, the team is confronted by the Teenage Kix, who wish to exact revenge on the Boys for blackmailing them. Big Game's threats are met by laughs from Butcher, as he and the Boys prepare for a brawl. While the rest of the Boys brutally pummel the Teenage Kix, Hughie is forced to fight Blarney Cock. An inexperienced fighter, Hughie panics as Blarney Cock claws at him and eventually throws a desperate punch, which pierces straight through Blarney Cock's abdomen and kills him. Butcher gently reprimands Hughie for this, while Mother's Milk comforts Hughie. As the Kix are defeated, a hamster crawls its way out of Blarney Cock's anus. Taking sympathy on the animal, Hughie decides to take it with him. Butcher tells the rest to go inside, while lamenting that the Supes are going to have "one of those fucking funerals" now.
At the Seven's base, Jack from Jupiter is surprised how public the Boys' fight with the Teenage Kix was, and wonders if perhaps the Boys aren't what they used to be. Homelander, however, cautions against underestimating Butcher, especially after what happened to Lampligher. At the Flatiron, Butcher tells Mother's Milk he let Hughie have a few days off. Together, they wonder who could have tipped the Kix off.
Later, Butcher and Hughie watch Blarney Cock's funeral on TV, attended by Vic the Veep, Blarney's teammates, and numerous other heroes, with the Seven being notably absent. Publicly, Blarney Cock's death is blamed on "time terrorists." Later, Hughie tells Butcher that he can't stay, as he feels guilty over killing someone. Butcher assures Hughie he won't try to stop him, but lets him know that he thinks he's making a mistake. Hughie wonders why Butcher cares about spying on superheroes and keeping them scared. Butcher confides in Hughie that a Supe raped his wife, and he only found out about it after reading her diary. He also recounts her gruesome death at the hands of a super-powered fetus, which he was forced to beat to death with a lampstand. Butcher claims that he knows who did it, and will have his revenge one day. When Hughie asks who it was, Butcher simply replies that it was one of the "big boys." He then reveals that Supes have a casualty allowance, similarly to police tactical units. Unlike the police, however, the casualty allowance for Supes is at 60 percent, instead of 20. This is because Supes aren't trained, but the government is too scared of them to go against him, so the Boys act as a countermeasure. Butcher says that it used to be simpler, as the Boys used to keep an eye on the Supes for the Government, while corporations backed the Supes. Nowadays, however, while President Shaefer hates the Supes, his vice-president, Vic the Veep, used to be the head of Vaught American, meaning they are one bad day away from a Supe-friendly president. Hughie asks if this is the reason Butcher wants him to stay, but the latter clarifies it's because Hughie is good at it, and has a score to settle, but also because he always wanted a little brother.
The Seven hold a press-conference, where Homelander introduces their newest member, Starlight, although the latter is clearly uncomfortable with how revealing her new costume is. The Boys watch this on TV. M.M. asks Butcher if he thinks there might be a few Supes that have their hearts in the right place. Butcher asserts that, even if there are, "fuck 'em."Tek Knight, a hero of the super-team, Payback visits a psychiatrist. He has developed a problem in which he wants to have relations with anything he can. After a false tip to capture a terrorist army, Payback was flying back to their headquarters. He became aware of fellow teammate and robot, Mind-Droid's rear end. He tried having relations with him in mid-flight and was suspended from the team. He has gone on to make attempts on several other things. He finally gets kicked out of the doctor's office and told never to return when he tried to have his way with the doctor's coffee cup when he left to answer the phone.
Wee Hughie is called in to see Butcher. He finds the rest of the Boys sitting around. He is surprised that Frenchman and the Female are just playing Monopoly on a Cluedo board. Mother's Milk tells him that they're both crazy and are waiting to put the hurt on someone else. Wee Hughie then receives a black overcoat similar to what the others all wear. He now really feels like part of the team.
Hughie meets with Butcher and they discuss the coat. Butcher tells him that if they get in a fight to just hit anything not wearing one. They arrive at Vinnie's Comics. As they wait to meet with The Legend, Butcher tells Hughie the secrets of the real heroes. Comic books are just a front. The truth is the supes all pretty much have their dark secrets. Butcher says that they are an asset to them because they wouldn't be able to blackmail the supes if the truth was made public.
When Butcher introduces Hughie to the Legend, they are given what will become their next case. The Legend's sister's grandson was recently thrown off a rooftop and the police are not doing much to find out who is responsible. The Legend says that the supe known as Swingwing is involved. Swingwing was Tek Knight's first Laddio, his sidekick.
Meanwhile, Tek Knight is doing all he can to resist the temptation of the current Laddio. When Laddio wants to have a workout and bends over to do some streches in front of Tek Knight, he knows he needs to send him off. Tek Knight is left wondering who he can get to help him with his problem.Hughie reads through a SwingWing comic book while he and Butcher sit in a restaurant. Hughie is annoyed by the writing in the comic and how unrealistic it is. Butcher points out that comic books are supposed to simplify reality, and hands him a picture of a young dead man, who was supposedly in a relationship with SwingWing. Butcher identifies the victim as Stephen Rubenstein, who fell off a roof of a building, with nothing suggesting foul play. However, there is also nothing suggesting Stephen might want to take his own life, nor any mention of SwingWing. Hughie asks if it might be a good idea to talk to SwingWing, but Butcher has no idea where to find him. Hughie observes that some of Stephen's friends were interviewed, and one of them, Paul Drake, is nine years older than the others. Butcher agrees they should interview the "possible bumchum." As they leave, Hughie asks Butcher not to use such language to describe gay people, so Butcher promises to moderate his language for Hughie's "delicate ears."
At the Vernon family estate, Tek Knight's butler, Thomas, resigns his position after the former apparently raped him in his left ear. Meanwhile, Hughie and Butcher arrive to the Red Rooster. Hughie is hesitant to go into a gay bar, something Butcher makes fun of him for considering Hughie's earlier objections to Butcher's language. Inside, they order drinks, although Butcher orders a club soda since he doesn't partake in alcohol consumption. The barman serving them turns out to be Paul Drake, so Bucher asks him about Stephen. Paul is reluctant, but the pair convince him they are British detectives on exchange. Hughie asks Paul what he knows about SwingWing. Paul recounts that none of the officers ever mentioned SwingWing, but also that they didn't consider the possibility of murder. He says that Stephen was vulnerable and confused. At this point, Max, Paul's boyfriend, takes offense and leaves. Butcher asks if Paul had anything going on with Stephen, but the latter denies this. Upon being asked by Hughie, he also denies that Stephen was suicidal, but had only recently come out, and is the reason he went to see SwingWing, the gay-friendly superhero. He also reveals that SwingWing occasionally brought Tek Knight along, but the latter clearly loathed homosexuals. Stephen tried talking to SwingWing a few times, but was unsuccessful. Upon being asked if SwingWing is gay, Paul replies that he doesn't know.
Tek Knight talks to Homelander about joining the Seven, but is shot down since the latter knows about his proclivities. Tek Knight demands to know who told him. Homelander doesn't want to reveal his source, but eventually relents and tells Tek Knight it was a "little friend of his."
As the Female and Frenchie play reverse strip poker, Mother's Milk and Hughie have a drink. M.M. reveals he was in the military when Hughie tells him Butcher put him on a two-pint rule. Hughie asks if M.M. ever killed people, which the latter immediately deduces is about Blarney Cock. M.M. confirms he did kill people, and that they're still in his head. He didn't know the people he killed while he was in the army, so he had to make excuses to justify it. The people he killed since he joined the Boys, on the other hand, he knew the world was better off without, so his only regret was being unable to kill them twice. Hughie asks if Butcher ever killed anyone, to which M.M. replies that Butcher sleeps just fine, too. Hughie laments that every time he thinks he's figured Butcher out, the latter does something that puts him back to square one. He recounts how, when the two were at the gay bar, Butcher was completely natural, despite his previous slurs. M.M. explains that Butcher doesn't hate gays, or anyone else if there is no point to it, and that is pretty much all Hughie needs to know about him. To Butcher, a person is either a problem, someone who can help him, or he doesn't care. M.M. also reveals that everything Butcher says serves his plan in some way, as the man doesn't waste time or words. M.M confesses he used to hate gay people because of the environment he grew up in, but stopped when he discovered what he truly hated.
The next day, Butcher and Hughie take a trip to Westchester to visit Tek Knight. Butcher asks if Hughie has finished reading the comics, and he confirms that he has, although they don't get any better. SwingWing's stories are very politically correct and unsubtle, Laddio only ever fights guys his size, while Tek Knight, despite his dark mystique, is profoundly boring. Butcher agrees with the last sentiment, observing that the Boys never had any cause to take an interest in Tek Knight, despite him being around for a long time and being one of the "big boys." Upon hearing the doorbell, Tek Knight asks Thomas to answer it, before realizing the butler is no longer present. He frantically strips and hides his suit before rushing to the door. He is greeted by Butcher, who immediately identifies him as Tek Knight. in: Issues The Boys Issue 9 Sign in to edit

Butcher and Hughie let themselves in, while Robert Vernon furiously denies being Tek Knight. The pair ignore his protests, however, and head straight for the library. Bucher picks up a book, which opens a hidden passage to Tek Knight's lair. Butcher explains that Eagle the Archer, a member of Payback, once beat his girlfriend to death while high. In exchange for keeping it a secret, Eagle told Butcher everything he knew about his teammates, including Tek Knight. Butcher then says they wish to ask Tek Knight some questions, although Hughie just requests the location of the bathroom before excusing himself. Meanwhile, Butcher asks about SwingWing, and Tek Knight confirms his former sidekick is gay, and claims that he'd always known. Butcher is surprised, Since Paul didn't share the same opinion about SwingWing. Butcher asks if SwingWing being gay bothers Tek Knight, but the latter denies this, although he admits gay people make him uncomfortable. Tek Knight, however, refuses to give up SwingWing's location. Out of options, Butcher takes his leave. Hughie, meanwhile, was unable to access the bathroom and is forced to defecate on the floor.
At the Flatiron, the Boys have a laugh at Hughie's misfortune. Hughie tries to move on to finding SwingWing. Butcher replies that they still don't know where SwingWing is, since Tek Knight wouldn't give up his location, but observes that Paul was right about Tek Knight hating gay people. M.M. doesn't believe this to be sufficient motive, however. Hughie checks his phone, and notices he received a text message from Paul.
Outside the Red Rooster, Paul's boyfriend Max confesses to being the one to have sent Stephen to talk to SwingWing, although he denies that he wanted Stephen to get hurt. He elaborates that he spotted SwingWing land on the roof of a motel and then leave without costume by chance. Later, he grew jealous of Stephen talking to Paul, so he gave him SwingWing's location, in hopes that Stephen would leave Paul alone. Hughie returns to the Flatiron to inform the team on his findings, but is shocked when Bucher shows him a newspaper exposing Tek Knight and revealing what he did to his family butler. With Tek Knight apparently being gay as well, Bucher concludes that Tek Knight didn't hate the gays at the Red Rooster, but was jealous they were talking to SwingWing, which would give him motive to murder Stephen. Hughie finally tells the team what he found out from Max, but Butcher considers it a moot point. Hughie is concerned about going after Tek Knight, but Butcher assures him that Tek Knight is a pushover without his suit, as he technically isn't a Supe, but bought his way into being a superhero instead. Hughie asks what they will do to Tek Knight once they get him out of the suit, since he doesn't have any powers. Butcher states that they will cut him a deal if he behaves himself, but will be forced to use violence otherwise. Butcher goes on to say that he knows Hughie isn't fond of that side of the job, but warns him that he will have to get used to hurting people sooner or later.
Inside his cave, Tek Knight is furious over being outed by Thomas, when he is surprised by Bucher and Hughie. He prepares to fight them, but is ambushed and quickly dispatched by the Female. Upon being interrogated, He denies having anything to do with Stephen's death, and claims to not even have met him or seen him with SwingWing. Hughie points out Tek Knight told them SwingWing was gay, but the latter replies that he only did that because he hoped they would go after SwingWing instead, but didn't tell them where he was because grew sick of Billy's attitude. Hughie asks why Tek Knight would want to mess things up for SwingWing, since the two are supposed to be friends. Tek Knight confesses that he'd developed a problem recently where he compulsively has sex with people and inanimate objects. SwingWing outed him to the Seven, preventing him from joining the team. The main reason SwingWing did this, Tek Knight claims, has to do with the Talon. He recounts how the Talon was a villain from their early days that switched back and forth between good and evil. Tek Knight and SwingWing spent a great deal of time chasing her over rooftops, but the three eventually realized they were just friends playing a game. Years later, the Talon showed up and suggested they have a reunion inside Tek Knight's cave. The three eventually engaged in a threesome, but it was ruined when SwingWing told the Talon to "suck Tek Knight's big bamboo--".After interrogating Tek Knight, Billy and Hughie leave the hero to his misery and take their leave. Billy fails to see how Tek Knight's confession connects to the story, but Hughie doesn't believe it matters. He observes how people love to brand others as gay, and asserts that they've been doing the same thing with SwingWing, without stopping to consider if that has anything to do with his motive. Butcher asks if Hughie thinks SwingWing killed Stephen after all, to which the latter replies that it's finally time they "met the cunt."
The pair go to the address provided to them by Tek Knight and confront SwingWing at his hotel. SwingWing play dumb at first, but after Hughie threatens him, he attacks the pair and flees to the roof. Hughie goes after him, while Butcher takes the fire escape to cut SwingWing off. On the rooftop, Hughie finds SwingWing dressed in his suit, ready to take flight. He is forced to fight SwingWing alone, as Butcher claims the ladder is out and he can't help (although this is untrue). Hughie is reluctant to hit SwingWing, as the latter isn't really a Supe so Hughie might kill him. After some encouragement from Butcher, however, Hughie finally knocks SwingWing out with one punch. After coming too, SwingWing confesses that Stephen waited for him at the roof of the motel he was staying in and surprised him when SwingWing took off his helmet. SwingWing wasn't alarmed by this, as others have figured out his identity before. Stephen then recounted his story, which SwingWing found boring, as he'd heard it many times before from other gay individuals. In particular, Stephen had feelings for a guy, but was afraid of rejection. SwingWing encouraged him to go for it, so Stephen confessed his feelings for none other than SwingWing. The hero was horrified by this, however, and ended up throwing Stephen off the roof, although he claims this was an accident. Hughie wonders why SwingWing freaked out so much, given how much time he spends around gay people, but the latter replies that this is only an image Vought-American crafted for him, and he himself actually hates homosexuals. With his armor and mask on, he feels insulated from them, but he didn't wear his suit with Stephen. With that, Butcher orders SwingWing to get up and explains that he will be working for the Boys from now on, feeding them intel on other Supes. Secretly, however, he unscrews a bolt from SwingWing's jetpack.
Afterwards, Hughie and Butcher have breakfast at a nearby diner. Butcher asks if Hughie is upset they let SwinWing off so easy, but Hughie denies this, lamenting instead how there is no real justice for Stephen, despite the fact that they solved the case, and only took it in the first place because the Legend wanted to know who killed his sister's grandson. Butcher, however, reveals that the Legend doesn't have a sister, and doesn't know the real reason the man wanted them on the case. He goes on to commend Hughie for his preformance.
A week later, Hughie meets with Paul and explains what really happened to Stephen. Paul remembers that SwingWing died a week earlier fighting a villain, but Hughie reveals that his jetpack malfunctioned and he was run over by the Staten Island ferry. Paul is disappointed there is no justice, but thanks Hughie nonetheless. Hughie notices Max hanging around, which annoys Paul. Hughie advises a more gentle approach with Max, as no one could have possibly known what SwingWing was really like. After he heads back to the office, he watches out the window as the two reconcile. Elswhere, Tek Knight is walking down the street, lamenting at his tarnished reputation. Suddenly, he sees a mother and her child about to be crushed by falling debris, so he saves them. The whole world is caught in a meteor shower, however, with a really big asteroid on its way. Curiously, the asteroid appears to have a small incision, roughly an inch in diameter and organic in nature. Tek Knight declares that "if it has a hole, I can fuck it," before taking off to stop the asteroid. Tek Knight proceeds to have sex with the asteroid until it explodes, thus saving the world. In reality, however, Tek Knight was killed by the falling debris. Upon autopsy, the coroner found a large tumor in his brain, explaining his bizarre behavior. As Hughie is reading this story, Butcher instructs him to brush up on his Russian, as they are going to Moscow tomorrow. After a rather uncomfortable ride in a cargo plane, the Boys arrive to Moscow. On their way out, they walk past chained prisoners which, Hughie is told, are to be dropped off at Anchorage. Meanwhile, a plane is descending towards the city. The pilots here faint moaning and buzzing from the cabin. When the copilot questions this, the pilot cautions against speaking ill of Little Nina, unless he wants rats sewn inside him. After she is finished masturbating, the copilot informs Little Nina that they are descending. The Boys are picked up by Monkey from the runway. On the way, Butcher teases Monkey about being in town for the Women's Paralympic Exhibition Tournament, much to the latter's chagrin. Monkey also assures Butcher that Rayner wasn't behind leaking the Boys' involvement to the Teenage Kix, which Butcher simply acknowledges. They stop outside of a bar, where the Boys get out while Monkey takes their luggage to the hotel. Inside, the Boys are warmly greeted by Vasilii "Vas" Vorishikin. Vas kicks all the other patrons out of the bar so he and his comrades could have a drink, save for "Flunky," whom Vas deems useful. When Vas leaves to get the vodka, Hughie asks Butcher about him. Billy explains that a couple of weeks ago, a supervillain's head exploded for no apparent reason as he was delivering his speech in a Moscow market, with a similar event occurring two days later. Hughie asks if they were shot, but Butcher says there was no evidence of this. He, however, remembered that someone once experimented with an enhanced version of Compound V in the early nineties, but the chemical became unstable and caused half the subjects to explode. At this point, Vas returns with their drinks. He explains that he used to be a police officer, but also a superhero known as Love Sausage, leader of the superhero team known as "Glorious Five Year Plan." With that, the Boys and Vas toast to the their arrival, although only Hughie and Vas actually take a drink, with the former unfamiliar with how strong it is. Little Nina meets with James Stillwell, who tells her about the Boys arriving to town, which presents a complication. Since Vought can't be involved, she will be forced to deal with the problem herself. The Boys, meanwhile, head to the morgue to examine the bodies of the deceased Supes. Frenchie finds no traces of ballistic projectiles, but discovers tattoos on the corpses that identify them as members of R.O.C. (Russian Organized Crime). Hughie asks Vas if he is okay, but the latter replies that he is just sad for his country, as it has become infested with crime and corruption. While he could do something about this as Love Sausage with his team, he laments the degradation of Russian society now that communism is no more. Billy and M.M. conclude it must have been the unstable V that killed the Supes, but will need to test tissue samples. With that, Vas calls Flunky to order them a large pizza, while expressing interest to Hughie about joining the small, but growing communist party. While they wait, Hughie observes how Butcher has no problems with using Vas, despite the fact that he used to be a Supe. Butcher simply brushes this off as no one being perfect. Hughie then asks about R.O.C., and Butcher and M.M. confirm the organization is savage and sadistic. When the pizza arrives, Vas is puzzled that Flunky wasn't the one that delivered it. They soon discover that Flunky's face has been cut off and put on their pizza. Issue 12, titled "Glorious Five Year Plan – Part Two," ramps up the tension as the Boys’ investigation into Vought’s murky operations deepens.

- #1PG
Keys: PG
"PG" are the codename initials of a minor superheroine character in the comic book series The Boys, also featured in six-issue spin-off miniseries The Boys: Herogasm. Her initials were revealed in the Vought transcripts The Boys had access to. History PG With Suck Ups A superheroine whose full codename and powerset has not been revealed. As her costume resembles a lightning beam, one can speculate that this character might have electricity-based abilities.
"PG" was apparently friends with Queen Maeve and both participated in a drug-fueled, all-female orgy with Invisi-Lass and Shehemoth. However, their friendship seemed to have deteriorated by the time of "The Boys: Herogasm," as Queen Maeve spoke unfavorably of her to Starlight during the final Supie Awards.
In her last chronological appearance in the comics, "PG" answered Homelander's call to organize a coup d'etat against the United States. This led to an attack on the White House. A character resembling her, wearing a red costume instead of the usual green, was spotted later during the attack. Whether this is indeed the same character undergoing a costume change or a potential coloring error, or if it represents someone entirely different, remains uncertain.
Known powers Flight: She is able to fly.
Trivia Her powers, hairstyle, initials, and exaggerated bosom, make her out to be a pastiche of the DC character, Power Girl.
- #2A-Train
Keys: A-Train, Speedester
[The] A-Train is a major antagonist of the superhero-drama comic series The Boys. He was a speedster who became a member of the Seven to replace their previous speedster. He is the archenemy of Hughie Campbell.
He inadvertently killed Hughie Campbell's girlfriend, while chasing a criminal. The one event kick-started the events in the series, by creating a vengeance against superheroes in Hughie, and Hughie's involvement in the Boys.
Contents 1 History 2 Appearance 3 Personality 4 Powers 5 Weaknesses 5.1 Psychological 5.2 Biological 6 Trivia 7 Gallery History In the comic series, A-Train is a speedster and an ally to Homelander but is youthfully reckless and arrogant. He was recruited by the Seven after leaving the teenager-based superhero group called Teenage Kix, as a replacement for Mister Marathon, the group's original speedster who was killed on 9/11 when The Seven botched a plane rescue.
He first appears after accidentally killing Hughie Campbell's girlfriend Robin Mawhinney while chasing a criminal, which causes Hughie to join the Boys to get revenge. As a member of the Seven, he is kept in check by Homelander after making fun of Starlight, the newest member of the Seven after Lamplighter's death. In addition, A-Train is convinced by the Seven to laugh off the incident where he killed Robin. When A-Train and Starlight are tasked with cleaning an undead Lamplighter, he attempts to rape Starlight a second time, but is temporarily blinded in one eye. When Homelander starts to take his plans into motion, A-Train decides to stay low, but is kidnapped by Billy Butcher. He is killed by Hughie for Robin's death, and after it was revealed he and the Seven only hired Starlight to sexually assault her.
Advertisement Appearance A-Train is a fair-skinned young man with a lean yet muscular build. He wears a blue suit and blue gloves, exposing his arms and shoulders. The suit has a massive white A on the front and back which connect, and a white belt with a blue circle that also has an A on it. His gloves have white cuffs around the wrist with ovals on the back of the hands.
Personality Like most "heroes", A-Train is self-centered and mostly interested in fame, fortune, and publicity rather than helping others. In fact, he displays a remarkable lack of empathy, possibly even to the point of sociopathy. He is a "superhero" with super-speed whose carelessness was responsible for the death of Robin, Wee Hughie's girlfriend, in the first issue, accidentally tossing over her a super villain he was chasing and crushing her into a brick wall. Initially he feels genuinely bad about it, but it's not long after that he just brushes it off as nothing.
A-Train is the crudest member of the Seven, being the one who most openly enjoys humiliating Starlight. A heavy drug user and bitter over Starlight, A-Train openly expresses a desire to sexually assault her again. One such attempt results in him being temporarily blinded in one eye from her. Due of his immaturity, A-Train is not respected by the rest of The Seven, with his only real friend being Jack from Jupiter, whom A-Train later sides against when Jack's reputation is ruined.
A-Train has also shown an immature side. When Starlight spoke at The Seven's meeting table for the first time, A-Train made multiple childish noises that sounded similar to some sort of slurping, earning the ire of Homelander due to it being in front of James Stillwell, and leading him to remind him that he isn't in Teenage Kix anymore and that there are times when he has to be serious. When he was captured by Billy Butcher and at the mercy of Hughie, he begs and sobs for his life in a manner of a crying toddler.
Powers Superhuman Speed: A-Train have the ability to move far beyond what is naturally possible for the vast majority of supes in The Boys Universe. Because of the wide range of speed levels in this category, the speeds that A-Train can achieve varies between subsonic and transonic, and perhaps, at maximum, the sound barrier. However, it is unlikely that he can compete with Mister Marathon since it is stated that the founding members of the Seven have received the highest exposure to Compound V. Accelerated Body: A-Train has a fully accelerated body and body systems, making it faster and able to work faster with the same amount of energy used. This allows him to heal and recover faster, with increased strength, speed and reflexes, as well as accelerated perceptions. A-Train's body hardens under immense pressure as a process known as the dilatancy phenomenon, which presumably lowers his wind resistance, allowing him to reach inhuman speeds. A-Train's mind and senses process information at such a speed that time seems to have slowed down, enabling it to perceive what would normally move too fast to be seen/heard and react accordingly. A-Train's body is also highly efficient when it comes to gaining energy, expelling far less waste product.
Advertisement Weaknesses Psychological Lack of Training: A-Train has no formal training in the use of his powers, or in handling dangerous situations. This led to him accidentally killing Robin Mawhinney. He says himself that he has very little control when moving at those speeds. Biological Blunt Force/Limited Durability: Although his body can withstand the force of high-speed travel, A-Train can still be destroyed. As demonstrated by Wee Hughie, who rips his head off with a single blow, even though he's been enhanced by Compound V. Left Eye Blindness (Temporarily): When A-Train attempted to rape Starlight a second time while disposing the corpse of Lamplighter, Starlight used her powers on his left eye to blind him for a while. This discouraged him from messing with Starlight any further. Trivia A-Train is a parody of the Flash from DC Comics, more specifically, Wally West due to his youthfulness and immaturity coupled with being the second Seven speedster and coming from a teen team before joining the main superhero team of his universe. Marathon's death and A-Train taking over mimics Barry Allen's death in Crisis on Infinite Earths and being replaced by Wally, which makes sense considering that when The Boys was being published, Wally West was the main Flash.
- #3Auntie Sis
Keys: Auntie Sis
Auntie Sis is a superhero and minor character in the comic book series The Boys. The unofficial leader of Super Duper with an unknown powerset, Auntie Sis appears to act as a protector to the other members of her team.
Background
Advertisement Early childhood At some point of her childhood, Auntie Sis was exposed to Compound V, a fact that would lead her to acquire superhuman abilities.
Long before assuming her superheroine identity, Auntie Sis grappled with a childhood trauma that haunted her. In her early years, she had a distressing experience while outside with her aunt, who was busy hanging laundry. Out of nowhere, a gust of wind dislodged a pair of her aunt's undergarments from the clothesline, and they descended onto young Auntie Sis, enveloping her.
From that moment on, she was plagued by recurring nightmares in which she felt trapped beneath oversized undergarments, which eventually led to her developing a severe case of claustrophobia.
Super Duper Auntie Sis appears all to be familiar with the dark underbelly of the "mainstream" Supe community, mainly from just attending a few parties and hearing about the annual Herogasm event, wanting to insulate her young charges from such dupious characters. Although she denies being the leader, it is obvious that the other members of the team look to her for direction. Auntie Sis also appears to be Super Duper's main contact with Vought-American.
At Malchemical's welcoming party as the new leader of Super Duper, Auntie Sis grew uneasy as he openly mocked the other team members. She suggested he join them on patrol, hoping it would redirect his focus, but this only fueled his ridicule. Reluctantly, Auntie Sis called Vought-American about his behavior.
Malchemical soon learned of Auntie Sis's complaint and warned her that such reports could delay his chances of rejoining Team Titanic. In response, Auntie Sis sternly advised him to improve his conduct and then walked away, not willing to engage in further confrontation.
Later that night, Bobby Badoing stayed up late, troubled by a nightmare that had haunted him. Seeking to comfort him, she shared her personal nightmare from her childhood. As Auntie Sis turned away from Bobby, the truth was revealed: it was Malchemical pretending to be Bobby all along, who by this point learned of her claustrophobia.
Inside Superduper's lair, Malchemical lurked on the ceiling, camouflaged as giant knickers. He gleefully dropped onto Auntie Sis, causing chaos. As the other Superduper members were helpless, Hughie Campbell, alerted by a hidden bug, rushed in to confront Malchemical, demanding he back off from his friends. Although Hughie was overpowered, Billy Butcher intervened, incinerating Malchemical. Hughie convinced Billy to spare Super Duper, deeming them non-threatening. Auntie Sis' presence in the comics remains absent following these events.
- #4Becky Butcher
Keys: Becky Butcher, Rebbeca, Becka · Secondary: Butchers Wife
Rebecca Joanne "Becky" Saunders, is a supporting posthumous character in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys. She was married to Billy Butcher.
History Rebecca Saunders is a social worker in London. She met Butcher on a subway train, and the two started dating not long after. Becky was able to temper a lot of Butcher's violent tendencies, and it is because of her that he quit drinking and getting into fights. The two eventually married and went on honeymoon to Miami, where they encountered the Seven on a public tour. That night, while Billy was out on a walk, Becky was raped by Black Noir (disguised as Homelander). Although she tried to conceal what had happened from Billy, she grew more and more emotionally distant due to her trauma.
Months later, Becky died when she prematurely gave birth to a super-powered fetus, who apparently ripped itself out of her womb. The fetus tried to kill Billy with its laser-sight, forcing him to beat it to death with a lampstand. Her death is the primary motivating factor for Butcher in his crusade against Supes, as well as the reason for his burning hatred towards Homelander.
- #5Bee Boy
Keys: Bee Boy
Beeboy is a minor character in the comic book series The Boys. He is a child superhero and former member of Sidekick Twelve. Beeboy is a child superhero affiliated with Sidekick Twelve, a Christian-themed superhero team inspired by the 12 Apostles. There are strong suggestions that the team leader, Oh-Father, may sexually abuse the children, making Beeboy a potential victim.
Beeboy and his fellow teammates make their first appearance at the Believe religious festival, where they have their own tent for fans to connect with them. Later, they are among the supes to respond Homelander's call for a coup against the White House, but the story does not show the children actively participating in the attack.
The media eventually exposes Oh-Father's abuse of the children, leading to the disbandment of Sidekick Twelve. The fate of Beeboy following this revelation is unclear.
Known powers Wing Manifestation: Beeboy has insect-like wings which allow him to fly in a manner similar to a bee. Enhanced Strength (Tentative): While it is never stated if Beeboy has enhanced strength, he is strong enough to carry one of his teammates while flying with the help of Beegirl.
- #6Bee Girl

- #7Big Game
Keys: Big Game, Leader of the Team Kix
Big Game is a minor antagonist in the controversial comic book series The Boys. He is a superhero and leader of the corrupt team Teenage Kix.
History Big Game is just one of the many so-called "heroes" who had been exposed to Compound V by Vought-American as children or in the womb, and developed superpowers as a result. Still a teenager, he joined the superhero team Teenage Kix, currently serving as its leader.
As a public figure, he appeared as a hero; in his private life, he could not care less about doing something good with his powers. He indulged in all sorts of vices, from drug abuse to massive orgies with his teammates. Secretly bisexual (as much as the group was supposed to be “dark and modern”, bisexuality would have still taken some audience appeal from his character), he had casual sex with his teammates Shout Out and Dogknott and was also seen being masturbated by a female celebrity alongside Jetstreak.
Someone had been taken pictures of the Teenage Kix in intimate moments, documenting their illegal and sick perversions, and threatened to make everything public if one of them did not admit in front of the world their “private shame”. Big Game managed to keep his vices secret, as Shout Out was voted by everyone to be outed as gay.
A secret informer, then, revealed the identity of the blackmailer to the Teenage Kix: The Boys. Knowing the identity of his attackers, Big Game led his team on the streets to confront The Boys openly. While he was giving instructions to his teammates on how to attack, he was headbutted by Billy Butcher, having his nose severely broken in the process and also losing several teeth. His last appearance was in fellow teammate Blarney Cock's funeral, still sporting said wounds.
Powers and Abilities Flight: Big Game is able to fly. Trivia He is most likely based on Nightwing from DC Comics.

Contents 1 History 1.1 Early Years 1.2 The Falklands War 1.3 Meeting Becky Saunders 1.4 Deaths In The Family 1.5 The Boys 2 Powers and Abilities 2.1 Powers 2.2 Abilities 3 Weaknesses 4 Equipment 5 Relationships 5.1 Family 5.2 Friends & Allies 5.3 Pets 6 Trivia 7 References History Early Years William was the son of Samuel Butcher and Carol Atkins-Butcher, and the older brother of Leonard "Lenny" Butcher. Raised in London's East End, the Butcher children often spent their nights listening to their father beat their mother over minor arguments of theirs. These beatings led Billy to resent his father and grow closer to his mother and her family. Because of his rough life at home, Billy started acting out in school, from getting in fights to calling teachers vulgar names. After a few years of this type of behavior, Samuel realized that Billy had taken after him and his lifestyle, something Billy had tried hard to avoid[1].
The Falklands War One night, Billy planned to kill his father, but was stopped by Lenny. As the two calmed down after the incident, Billy told Lenny he planned to join the Royal Marines. Inspired by his grandfather on his mother's side, Billy entered the Marines early enough that he was a participant in the 1982 Falklands War. It was during a battle on Mount Kent that Butcher got his first taste of killing, when he wiped out a small foxhole of Argentina troops after members of his platoon were killed. Not too long after the Falklands War ended, Butcher was kicked out of the Royal Marines following a bar fight. Returning to the East End to visit his mother and brother, Billy proceeded to get into yet another bar fight, which left both of his eyes severely bruised[2].
Meeting Becky Saunders The day after his most recent bar fight, Billy met a woman named Becky Saunders while riding a subway train. After Saunders made a remark that Butcher resembled a panda with his two black eyes, the two struck up a conversation, continuing to talk over drinks after getting off the train. A week later, the pair had lunch together, where Becky listened to Billy explain his parents abusive relationship and Billy told her that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Following this lunch, the two officially became romantically involved. During dinner with Billy, Becky, Lenny, and Carol, Becky encouraged Carol to leave Samuel for good. Carol agreed, and the four went to confront Samuel. After helping his mother get away from his father (almost fighting him in the process), Billy asked Becky to marry him. Becky joyfully said yes, with their wedding being held sometime later[3].
Deaths In The Family Billy's life took a turn for the worse when his brother Lenny was killed by a bus in 1986. While distraught over the loss of his brother, life for Billy continued, and soon got a job in construction. Eventually, Billy and Becky went on a week's vacation to Miami, Florida. During their trip, the two saw the superhero team known as The Seven in the area, having just saved world from a monster. Unbeknownst to Billy at the time, Becky was raped by a member of The Seven just before they were to return home to London. Billy was under the assumption that he had done something wrong to her, with him feeling like they were becoming distant from each other. Three months after returning from Florida while the two were sleeping, Becky was killed when a super-powered fetus cut its way out of her body. Billy immediately shot out of bed and killed the infant with a desk lamp[4].
The Boys After notifying the authorities, Billy was brought in for questioning by investigators, who immediately knew superhuman activity was involved. When Billy attacked one of the investigators who wanted Billy to lie about the official story, he was then approached by a man named Greg Mallory, who gave Billy a secret diary written by Becky. Through the contents of the diary, Billy discovered that the Homelander was responsible for raping Becky, and she purposely keep it a secret from Billy out of fear that his blood-thirsty nature would return, and he would die trying to kill the superhero. Mallory explained to Butcher that he could teach Billy how to get his revenge on Homelander, though it would be a long process that would take years to complete. Billy accepted Mallory's offer. As part of his "training", Butcher's first mission involved him killing the super-occupants of a large cabin in the woods. Using skills he picked up with the Royal Marines, Billy killed everyone inside the house with ease[5].
Over the years, Billy and Mallory would recruit others to join their cause of "keeping superheroes in-check", such as Mother's Milk, The Frenchman, and The Female. Each member of this team (which Billy dubbed "The Boys"), was enhanced with Compound V, a serum that was responsible for giving some superheroes their powers. This original incarnation of "The Boys" disbanded sometime around late 2001 to early 2002[6].
Some years later, Billy would be responsible for getting "The Boys" back together, this time adding a man named Hugh "Wee Hughie" Campbell to the team (who himself had a loved one killed as a result of the "supes"). It was during this latest incarnation of "The Boys" that Billy's plans for revenge on The Homelander that had been set up years prior began to come together. By this time, Billy had become more ruthless in his tactics, one example being his utilization of a modified version of Compound V to kill an entire warehouse of over 150 European-based heroes at once[7].
Butcher's revenge would really kick-off after Seven member Jack From Jupiter killed Butcher's pet dog Terror[8]. Enraged, he blackmailed Homelander with photos that supposedly show Homelander committing several atrocities, including cannibalism and rape. This ultimately backfired horribly, as Homelander didn't remember committing these atrocities and was slowly driven insane by them, which culminated in Homelander staging a coup and killing the president. When Butcher finally confronted him in the White House, Homelander reveals that he has no memory of the events taken in the photos. It is then that Black Noir came in and revealed his true identity as a clone of Homelander and that he framed Homelander for several atrocities, including the rape of Becky Saunders, just to have an excuse to kill him. After Black Noir killed Homelander, Butcher killed the severely injured clone by cracking open his skull with a crowbar, tearing out the brain[9].
Though he had avenged his wife, this did not heal the pain Butcher felt after losing her during his crusade against the Supes, causing him to break down in tears and realizing killing the Supe who raped her only made him feel worse, not better. Eventually after his emotional breakdown, Butcher decided to to rid the planet of the supes entirely, in hoping no one would get hurt by them ever again like he did. He planned to achieve this goal by detonating hundreds of bombs and releasing a cloud of an explosive Compound V strain, that can be detonated remotely by tuning the device to a certain frequency. With Vogelbaum's help, this strain was modified to target those with Compound V in their blood, meaning that millions of people would potentially die, innocent or otherwise. In pursuit of this goal, Butcher killed Mother's Milk, The Frenchman, and The Female, leaving Hughie alone to stop him. During their confrontation, both Hughie and Butcher tumble off the side of the Empire State Building, falling several stories below. While Hughie's leg is impaled on a fence, Butcher breaks his neck and is paralyzed. With his plan a failure and after a lengthy conversation, Butcher goads Hughie into killing him by falsely claiming that he murdered Hughie's parents. Stabbed with an iron pipe, Butcher died with a smile on his face.[10].
Powers and Abilities Powers E701A733-9BEC-48DF-BFC6-08DAAD692E51 Butcher fighting Soldier Boy
Superhuman Strength: Butcher's physical strength was augmented by Compound V. Hence, he was able to easily lift a grown man and knee him in the groin with enough force to hinder his performance. He crumbled a pistol in his bare hands, and one-shot Big Game with a single headbutt. He held Shout Out overhead with one hand, and easily broke another man's arm. He knocked out another man by pushing his head against a brick wall. He can punch a hole through a computer monitor, and one-shot a Supe with his signature weapon, the crowbar. Butcher also bit off Soldier Boy's nose and broke Crimson Countess' neck with his belt. He stuck a pickaxe through Swatto's head, and similarly, embedded a shovel in Soldier Boy's head and decapitated Mind-Droid with the same tool. He almost shoved his crowbar down Stormfront's throat, and headbutted him to cause profuse bleeding. He brutally caved in another man's face with a headbutt, as well. He was not intimidated by The Deep, who survived getting hit by an airplane. Butcher was able to lift up Jack from Jupiter by the throat and pin him against a wall before stabbing him to death. He also flipped off Black Noir's scalp with his crowbar. Butcher crushed a woman with his bare hands and killed Mother's Milk, despite his own Compound V enhancement. He pushed a Supe's face into a tree, denting it. Following Becky's death, he beat an infant Supe to death with a lamp (Butcher was powerless at the time, and the Supe was the child of Black Noir). Superhuman Durability: Reacts to brutal beatings and fatal injuries with only pleasure. Survived a grenade, that seriously injured M.M., exploding in his hand, after suffering a beatdown from the same person (although the blast injured his left arm and destroyed some of his fingers). Much stronger than Hughie, who took part of an explosion that destroyed the Flatiron building. He also withstood attacks from Stormfront, who is widely considered to be the second most powerful Supe in the world (3rd if you consider that Black Noir is stronger than Homelander) and survived heat vision from a baby that inherited Black Noir's powers. Abilities Expert Combatant: Butcher is an extremely skilled fighter. He is very strong in combat, physically and mentally. Expert Marksman: Butcher is a highly accurate marksman, demonstrated multiple times throughout the series. Gifted Intelligence: Butcher has been described by Homelander as "very smart." He has impressive tactical knowledge, able to place bugs and send untraceable messages with ease. Expert Leader: Butcher is a good leader, having united The Boys and inspired them to achieve their goals of eliminating The Seven. He would often put an end to the bickering between the Frenchman and Mother's Milk. Deception: Butcher was able to make a criminal think he was a police officer to gain entry into a club. He also convinced Mother's Milk to return to The Boys by lying about his association with the Frenchman. Manipulation: Butcher was able to harness Hughie's desire for vengeance against A-Train and the Supes, which was one of the reasons that lead to Hughie joining The Boys. Intimidation: Butcher commands an imposing presence. Indomitable Will: Butcher is an extremely determined man, never giving up on his mission to keep The Seven and all other Supes in line. He repeatedly stood up against extremely powerful beings like Homelander. Weaknesses People: His care for the people he thinks he needs to protect is not as strong as his drive to use violence as the answer. Equipment Crowbar (Signature weapon) Bowie Knife : Butcher uses a bowie knife to stab and kill Jack from Jupiter. Beretta 92FS Inox Serbu BFG-50A: Butcher's sniper rifle of choice is a semi-automatic .50 caliber rifle with a red laser sight.

Butcher frequently speaks with expletives, including (but not limited to) "bollocks," "wanker," "shit," and more infamously, the c-word and "fuck." Never was there an issue of the series where he didn't say at least some of these words. The Amazon version of the character is nearly identical to his comic counterpart, save a less muscular build and a beard. He's played by New Zealand actor Karl Urban. In a flashback of five years prior the shows events in The Bloody Doors Off, his haircut resembles his comics counterpart. Garth Ennis has called Billy Butcher his favorite character and creation.

- #10Black Noir
Keys: Black Noir, Clone · Secondary: Noir
Black Noir is the main antagonist of the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys, and the posthumous overarching antagonist of its sequel/spin-off miniseries The Boys: Dear Becky.
He was a silent and emotionless and also a sadomasochistic member of the Seven. He served as the secondary antagonist until it was revealed that he was the true mastermind of the rape of Billy Butcher's wife, Becky, and the sexual assault on Hughie's girlfriend, Starlight, as also the true archenemy of Billy Butcher.
Contents 1 History 2 Appearance 3 Personality 4 Powers and Abilities 4.1 Powers 4.2 Abilities 5 Weaknesses 5.1 Psychological 5.2 Biological 6 Relationship 6.1 Family 6.2 Allies 6.3 Enemies 7 Trivia 8 Gallery History Black Noir was a direct clone of Homelander, created by Vought as a fail-safe to kill Homelander if he ever overstepped his bounds. However, years passed and Black Noir was unable to fulfill the one purpose he was created for as Homelander was implied to have been a generally good person. Black Noir grew increasingly psychotic as he waited to realise his purpose. He then decided to orchestrate Homelander’s descent into villainy by framing Homelander for various crimes, including rape and cannibalism.
Seeing pictures of himself committing horrific crimes which he had no memory of drove Homelander insane, turning him into a violent sociopath who eventually attempts to overthrow the United States government. At the White House, Noir revealed his true purpose to Butcher and Homelander. Homelander snapped and fought him, but Noir overpowered and killed him. Though victorious, Noir received heavy damage during the battle - having been disembowelled, missing part of his skull and sustaining heavy burns all over his body. The US military intervened, attacking him with tanks and gunfire which further weakened him and, by doing so, allowing Billy to crack open his skull with a crowbar and crush his brain; finally killing him.
Appearance Black Noir is a man wearing a black skin tight suit. Behind his mask he looks identical to Homelander, sharing his blonde hair, fair skin, and blue eyes.
Personality Black Noir is silent, stoic, and utterly unemotive on the outside. However, beneath this veil of silence is a stone-cold psychopath who delights in every form of depravity imaginable, including rape, cannibalism, torture, manipulation, and murder. When revealed for what he truly was, he was gleeful - boasting about what he did to manipulate and frame Homelander, and otherwise accelerate events so that he may fulfill his primary purpose for existing.
He is also a lustful, perverted, violent, and sadomasochistic Supe known for killing Becky, Billy Butchers Dog, which was wrongly blamed on Jack from Jupiter, and as result of his perverted behavior. He was then killed a strongly deserved death by Billy Butcher.
Powers and Abilities As a clone of Homelander, Black Noir likely has all of the former's powers, albeit at a higher level. Noir is one of only two Supe who would certainly survive and ultimately win an encounter with The Boys according to a simulation.
Powers Superhuman Strength: Black Noir is strong enough to kill Homelander, needing just one punch to completely destroy his jaw. He is stronger than Homelander, who could hurl a fighter jet with one hand and kill Queen Maeve with just one punch. Superhuman Durability: Black Noir can withstand Homelander's heat vision and multiple anti-supe bullets. Noir survived after losing multiple limbs, an eye, and being disemboweled. Butcher had to break his skull open and destroy his brain to finally kill him. During The Seven's attempt to stop 9/11, Black Noir ended up falling from a great altitude when his teammates accidentally let him fall. However, not only did he manage to survive but he was completely unharmed. Superhuman Stamina: Black Noir has greater stamina than Homelander. He can perform superhuman feats for extended periods of time without getting tired or becoming weak. Superhuman Speed: Black Noir can move far faster than the average human, being faster than Homelander. Regenerative Healing Factor: Black Noir has a healing factor, like Homelander who healed from a slightly damage on his face with a prop sword by Queen Maeve. Supes specifically have Compound V inside their brain, if the brain is destroyed, the healing factor will not work Longevity: Black Noir ages more slowly than a normal human, due to Compound V. Resurrection: Compound V can bring life back to a dead brain, but limits the cognitive abilities of the user. Only works if the user has a functioning brain, when Billy Butcher destroyed his brain with a crowbar; Black Noir was finally killed. Heat Vision (Tentative): Similar to Homelander, Black Noir should be able to emit heat beams from his eyes. These beams are powerful enough to cut through most objects and can easily melt human flesh and bone causing people to burst into gore. Black Noir's son post birth immediately used the heat vision - thus implying that his father Black Noir must have the same power. X-Ray Vision (Tentative): Similar to Homelander, Black Noir should be able to see through any object and surface. Superhuman Hearing: Black Noir possesses tremendous auditory awareness, allowing him to detect sounds from miles away. He can also use this power to detect a person's heartbeat. Superhuman Smell: Similar to Homelander, Black Noir's sense of smell has been heightened far beyond normal human capabilities, allowing him to smell things others could not. Superhuman Voice (Tentative): Black Noir's vocal cords should be 20 times more powerful than the ones of a regular human. He should be able to rupture people's eardrums just by screaming. Flight (Tentative): As a Homelander clone, Black Noir should be capable of flying - however during the 9/11 incident his teammates had to carry him and wound up dropping him. It is possible he did this to hide his similarities to Homelander, or he believed that the bungling of the rescue attempt would benefit his goals. Becky's diary states very clearly she saw the "supe" float over her window. Abilities Pilot Skills (Tentative): During the 9/11 incident, Queen Maeve states that Black Noir knows how to pilot an airplane. He was meant to be the pilot, however, during the mission his teammates failed to prevent him from falling from the aircraft. The presence of personnel for his flight training hints that it might be an elaborate agenda, because none of the Seven can fly a plane to show his difference. Weaknesses Psychological Lack of Training: He has no formal training in the use of his powers, or in handling dangerous situations. Along with the rest of his team, these inadequacies led to disaster when they attempted to stop a terrorist hijacking of a plane. Mental Illness: His unstable mind causes him to lose control and reveal his true colors. This eventually leads to his downfall at the hands of Butcher and the military after being greatly weakened by Homelander. Obsession: Black Noir has an uncontrollable desire of fulfilling his purpose of killing Homelander. This causes him to become self-destructive and go to extreme lengths to create a situation where he can fight against him. Biological Blunt Force/Limited Durability: Despite being more powerful than Homelander, Black Noir is not immortal. After his fight against Homelander at the White House, Black Noir was extremely weakened. This ended up causing his death, when the military and Billy finished him off by firing multiple anti-supe bullets at his body and then destroyed his brain with a crowbar. Absence of fulcrum (Tentative): During the "I Tell You No Lie, G.I." storyline, the events of 9/11 seem to suggest that Homelander is unable to use his full strength in flight, requiring a solid surface to take full advantage of his power. As a clone, it is very likely that Black Noir also shares this weakness.

Trivia He is a villainous homage and parody of Batman. He may also be a parody of Bizarro, due to being a clone of Homelander who's even darker than he is and has limited speech patterns. Black Noir evolved beyond just being a Batman parody; he also embodied the trope of "Batman vs Superman" within DC's storyline. His madness and manipulation all revolve around fulfilling this trope in the final battle. Despite much as Black Noir's role as one of the main antagonists of the comic series, he was completely silent until the end of the series, when he revealed himself as Homelander's clone and confesses to orchestrating the events which led to Homelander's downfall and eventual death.

With the face of a movie star and the power of a god, Homelander was the greatest superhero alive and the leader of Vought-American's premier superhero team The Seven. Not only could he fly, but he also had super strength and super hearing, and he could see through almost anything with his x-ray vision and then destroy it with his laser eyes.
On the surface, he was an affable and humble superhero, but his true nature and his secrets were what led him to clash with The Boys, a watchdog group of anti-superhero vigilantes backed by the CIA, becoming the archenemy of the leader of said group, Billy Butcher.

John Gillman, the Supe who would be known as Homelander, was grown by Vought-American, being the first of a new breed of heroes as a result of Compound V. While most of Vought's supes up to that point had been injected with Compound V as adults, Homelander was the first successful attempt to inject the serum on an embryo.
Grown from the DNA of Stormfront and birthed from a woman with mental illness and no legal guardian that was part of one of Vought's drug trials, the baby was born circa 1951 in an underground lab with most of his powers active, killing his mother at birth by eviscerating her with his heat vision. The blood-smeared infant soon began to fly with his umbilical cord still attached to him while he used his heat vision to kill many of the doctors and nurses that oversaw his birth.
Early Years HomelanderComicFirstPublic Homelander's first public appearance, circa 1969
John was later raised and experimented on by Vought in a silo in South Dakota for the next eighteen years where he was tied to an hydrogen bomb at a young age in case his aggression got out of control. Throughout his childhood, he developed his different powers, which included super strength, speed and durability, healing factor, longevity, resurrection, heat and x-ray vision, enhanced senses, sonic scream and flight. Vought trained the future Supe to act the right way, building a public persona that the people could latch onto.
TheSevenIntroductionComic Homelander becomes the leader of The Seven
To the public, in a cover-up of the truth, his origin was that he "crash-landed on Earth", being found as a little baby at the bottom of a crater on a prairie without a spaceship. Hailing from the stars, the baby grew into a boy in a week and a teenager a week after that. Vought eventually realized that they needed a way to put down Homelander if it ever came to that, since using an hydrogen bomb wasn't practical, so from the same DNA they created a better and stronger clone that would work right next to Homelander, known to the public as Black Noir. In the early 1970s, Homelander became the leader of The Seven, a group made up of six other Supes who were created in the same way as Homelander after his success, including Noir.
9/11 Incident “ That's what you get when a bunch of fucks in tights try to save the goddamn day. ―The Legend on the 9/11 incident ” HomelanderPlaneBloodComic Homelander during the 9/11 fiasco
During the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, The Seven were sent to stop the hijackers that took over a commercial passenger plane and rescue the hostages inside. Unfortunately, Homelander and the rest of his team didn't understand the tactical or physical challenges the mission required, this coupled with the fact that Black Noir fell while being carried and Jack from Jupiter fleeing the scene, resulted in the Seven making the situation worse. Homelander and Maeve forcefully opened the plane door during the flight, resulting in one of the kids that was close to the door being sucked out of the plane and dying due to the the cabin decompression. Entering the plane while the air was escaping, Queen Maeve told the scared passengers to put their oxygen masks on while Homelander strolled to the cockpit to stop the terrorists.
Being overwhelmed by all the passengers screaming for help, Homelander told them to shut up with his sonic scream, making the passengers' eardrums bleed. After the Deep broke the windshield, Homelander killed the terrorists and the plane began to fall. As Queen Maeve chastised him for his incompetence, Homelander gave up and left the plane with Mister Marathon holding on to him. After Marathon convinced him that they should help the plane otherwise Vought would fire them, Homelander flew towards the back of the plane in an attempt to shove the tail down and level it. Not measuring his own strength, Homelander ended up breaking the plane in half and killed Mister Marathon due to the impact. The fractured plane ended up crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge.
Meeting the Boys “ I asked the others afterwards, and none of them picked up on it. All they got was a constant sense of disdain, like you barely thought they were worth looking at. Actually, you didn't look at them. You couldn't take your eyes off me. ―Homelander to Butcher regarding their first meeting ” Shortly after the 9/11 disaster, Homelander and The Seven began to be blackmailed with proof of their involvement in the incident by The Boys, a government-sponsored group of people tasked with policing, monitoring, and potentially stopping corrupt superheroes, led at the time by Lieutenant-Colonel Greg Mallory. The blackmail enraged Lamplighter, making him burn Mallory's granddaughters in a fit of anger, which threatened to unleash a violent conflict between The Seven and the CIA.
HomelanderMeetsButcherComic Homelander meets Billy Butcher
Knowing what a conflict between them and the government would lead to, regardless of who'd came out on top, The Seven and the Boys decided to make a truce to prevent said conflict from escalating, with the group of Supes agreeing to sacrifice Lamplighter, giving him over to the Boys so that Mallory could kill him as revenge. During the meeting where Lamplighter was given to the group of superhuman watchdogs, Homelander noticed how one of them, Billy Butcher, couldn't take his eyes off him, noticing some intense hatred coming from the man directed at him specifically.
Welcoming Starlight “ You were kidding. That's brilliant. That was an official meeting of the Seven- that means playtime's over. Do you understand? Do you? ―Homelander to A-Train ” HomelanderThreatensATrain Homelander threatens A-Train
Homelander was present to welcome Starlight, the new member of The Seven and replacement for Lamplighter, and show her their headquarters. Right after the tour, Homelander demanded that Starlight engaged in oral sex with him and two other members of The Seven, A-Train and Black Noir, as way to test how much she wanted to join the team.
He later held a meeting where he officially introduced Starlight as the new member of The Seven and discussed merchandising with the rest of his team, explaining that him, Noir and Queen Maeve gained more due to being more popular as "the big three". After Homelander caught A-Train making a slurping gesture to Starlight in the middle of the meeting, he threatened A-Train in private after the meeting and made him promise to never do that again in front of a Vought-American member.
Return of the Boys “ For us, duty calls- but let me just take a moment to remind the people at home that we're still watching out for them. That's our job. That's what we do. And should the worst ever happen, please, just remember: we'll be there for you. ―The Homelander's speech on live television ” TheSevenComicLiveTV Homelander and The Seven on television
Shortly after the members of Teenage Kix began to be blackmailed and were forced to out one of their own members, it didn't take long for Homelander to figure out that Billy Butcher and the Boys were back to policing Supes. During another meeting, Homelander informed the rest of The Seven about Butcher's return and how his targeting of Teenage Kix was a "warning shot" for them, saying he wasn't going to go away. Homelander also informed Starlight during their meeting that Vought American demanded her to have a more revealing and "photogenic" costume from now on.
Following a huge fight between the members of Teenage Kix and the Boys, where Blarney Cock was killed and the other Supes were left badly injured, The Seven talked about how unusual was for the Boys to be so public about their attacks. During a live interview, Homelander introduced Starlight in her new costume as the replacement of Lamplighter in The Seven, later giving a speech about how they'll always be watching out for the people before going off to save the world.
Weakened Truce “ Why do you hate me so much? I don't mean this problem with super-people in general, or why your team has the agenda that it does. I mean why do you hate me? I can hear your heartrate, you know. You can keep your face perfectly still, but can't stop your heart pounding along like that--and I know it's not from fear, I'd be able to smell it. It's anger. Exactly the same as the last time we met. ―Homelander to Billy Butcher ” HomelanderButcherBridge Homelander meets with Butcher at the Brooklyn Bridge
The next year, Homelander had conversation with James Stillwell, where he disclosed to the Supe that Butcher and his men probably informed the white house of their V.P.'s visits and Vic's speech, with Homelander believing their headquarters was bugged. He later sent the Deep to meet with the Boys to see if the truce was still active, as he believed he wouldn't be able to hold his temper if he went himself. After Butcher refused to speak unless Homelander himself came to him, the two agreed to meet at the remains of the Brooklyn Bridge. After explaining to Butcher what consequences his actions would lead to and him never answering, Homelander asked the man why he hated him so much and began to suspect that he did something to someone that was close to Butcher.
FourOfTheSevenComic An angry Homelander after his meeting with the Boys
After eventually figuring out that he did something to Butcher's wife, Butcher's pet Terror peed on Homelander, with the Supe threating to laser the dog before Butcher told him the truce would be officially broken if he harmed the animal. Tired of his games, Homelander told Butcher that he didn't care anymore and that he could start doing his worst if he wanted to, which ended their meeting. Back at their headquarters, Homelander was confronted by A-Train who demanded him to punish Starlight for blinding him after he tried to rape her, to which Homelander responded by throwing a fighter jet onto another, creating an explosion to make it clear that he wasn't in the mood for his complaints.
Setting up a Coup “ The only man in the sky is me. ―Homelander to the Muller family ” OhFather&HomelanderTalkStarlightComic Homelander talks to Oh-Father during the Believe event
Days later, Homelander had a meeting with James Stillwell where he wanted to go over his involvement in the Believe event this year, but the Supe told Stillwell that he didn't want to do it this time, and even agreed with Starlight when she decided not to assist the event either, but the two were eventually forced to go anyway after Stillwell threatened to put The Seven and Vought-American's relationship under review. After that, A-Train found Homelander curled into a fetal position while sobbing about why he can't do the things he can. When Homelander asked if someone was there, A-Train ran out of there in panic.
The day of the Believe event, Homelander went to talk to Oh-Father after his presentation with the Sidekick 12, telling him that he needed him to keep tabs on what was happening around the world and how people would react to certain developments. Later watching Starlight's speech for the event, Homelander asked the leader of the Capes for Christ if there were any more Supes like her, who really believed in truth and justice, but Oh-Father told him that other than Super Duper, no other superhero believed in that bullshit like Starlight did. Homelander then asked Oh-Father if they could help push Vought's agenda of incorporating superheroes into national defense as a way to take over the world, with Oh-Father saying that he believes only sixty to sixty five percent of the Supes would go along with it. With this information, Homelander asked him to arrange a get-together of every Supe that would come on board for this.
ComicHomelanderSupeMeeting Homelander reunites with all the Supes
Homelander later talked with Starlight in the VIP area of the event, telling her that he was impressed with how she stood up for herself against Stillwell, saying that it's always good to remind Vought that they're not their dogs. When Starlight brought up wanting to quit the Seven, Homelander mocked her about how hard she worked into joining the team and briefly had a moment of clarity, telling her that she could take the day off.
At the end of the Believe event, Homelander announced the winners of the Dinner with the Homelander prize, the Muller family of Larchmont, New York. Saying goodbye to the public, Homelander lifted the Muller family's car and took them up to the sky before dropping them to their deaths after telling them how they were scammed. After killing the Mullers, all Supes that Oh-Father called upon reunited with Homelander in the sky, ready to discuss their plan to conquer the world.
Secrecy and Reflections “ Are you scared? Of discovery, and punishment? Of what it means you are? Of the notion, by any sane measure of morality... that you've done something ctastrophic. ―Homelander to himself ” HomelanderReflectionComic Homelander talking to his own reflection
During one of Black Noir's flying lessons, Homelander met Ms. Bradley and welcomed her and James Stillwell during their visit on The Seven Satellite. Stillwell asked him about Starlight, but Homelander said that she was still on her leave of absence. He also told Stillwell that everything went well with the N.Y.P.D. visit following the Mullers' "disappearance". At the end of Bradley and Stillwell's visit, Black Noir tried to take off on his aircraft, which still had some live ammunition on its cannon armament, and killed his instructor, splattering his guts on Ms. Bradley in the process.
In the bathroom, Homelander spoke to himself in the mirror, saying that people were toys for his amusement. His reflection then responded, wondering why was he even saying that to himself, believing that he was trying to convince himself of it, and that a real god wouldn't need to declare stuff to himself in the mirror. Homelander's reflection asked him if he was scared of being punished after they discover what he was trying to do. Homelander was also confronted with the idea that every terrible thing he's done so far was an attempt to impress his "daddy", and this angered him enough to try to punch his reflection before composing himself. Finally, the reflection asked Homelander why he remembered doing his recent crimes but not the ones from the past, like the one involving Billy Butcher's wife, but Homelander snapped out of this and composed himself, trying to leave the bathroom before saying to his reflection that Butcher showing his most depraved crimes to the world won't matter once he enacts his plan.
Death He roused the Supes together to takeover the United States. He personally killed Victor Neuman. Coming face to face with Butcher he revealed he didn't remember committing his photographed acts. That's when Black Noir appears and reveals he was the one who raped Butcher's wife and got her pregnant, ultimately resulting in her death, also manipulating Homelander so that he could kill him, the one purpose for his creation. Angered at being used, he fought Noir, taking their fight outside, however Noir eventually won, holding a part of Homelander's torso and his arm, albeit heavily damaged.
Appearance Homelander is a tall and muscular man with blond hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. He wears a suit reminiscent to Superman and Captain America's, echoing a blend between both drawn from the comics. Homelander wears red gloves and boots, as well as the American flag as a cape, connected by a chain to a giant gold American bald eagle on his right shoulder, symbolizing patriotism.
Personality At first glance Homelander appeared to be a kind and caring individual, a hero who will do anything to protect the citizens of America and the American Dream. However, behind the facade he was deeply narcissistic, disturbed, and psychotic, showing no empathy. For a superhero, Homelander was incredibly brutal and aggressive, showing no concern for the safety of his own teammates or the people he should be protecting.
While he did not hesitate to commit huge acts of violence, Homelander in the beginning of the story still had a moral compass. He would get disturbed when he saw pictures of himself eating a baby, and the inability to remember doing such things eventually drove him further into insanity.
Powers and Abilities Powers HomelanderThrowsJetComic Homelander throwing a fighter jet with ease
Superhuman Strength: One of Homelander's primary abilities is his tremendous superhuman strength. Homelander is said to be the strongest man in the whole world. He possesses the greatest level of strength ever seen, allowing him to effortlessly overpower any opponent. He can hurl a fighter jet with one hand, crush a phone into dust, carry a car with four passengers while flying and kill Queen Maeve with just one punch. It is stated that he held up bridges scheduled for demolition. Homelander is considered a nuke when compared to the dynamite of Supes from the 1940's. He is superior to Stormfront, who can create tidal waves and hurricanes powerful enough to destroy entire villages and towns (8.6 Megatons of TNT). When injected or inhaled by Supes, Compound V increases their power even further, which Homelander has taken advantage of in the past. His strength was even enough to critically damage Black Noir during their battle. “ He's been in a silo in South Dakota for eighteen years, with a hydrogen bomb strapped to his ass 'til they're sure they can trust him. ―Old Legend ” GuyThrownAtHomelanderComic A regular human dies after being thrown at Homelander
Nigh-Invulnerability: Homelander is very resistant to physical harm and the most resilient of the Seven. He is not only completely bulletproof, but also unfazed by explosions. Vought had to keep a hydrogen bomb strapped to him for 18 years, because they had no idea what else could possibly kill him. When Queen Maeve tried to hurt him with a sword, the weapon ended up breaking upon impact on his face. Billy Butcher claimed that Supes can swim across the Sun, where it can be over 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. The only thing capable of destroying him in the end was his own clone. Superhuman Stamina: Homelander possesses stamina that is enhanced to inhuman levels. As a result, his muscles produce practically no fatigue toxins during physical activity. They are able to withstand the stresses of moving at superhuman speeds or performing other superhuman feats for extended periods of time, without tiring or becoming weak. Superhuman Speed: Homelander can move far faster than the average human. He can tag A-Train, who can run at Mach 3 and move faster than Starlight could see. He is also faster than the members of the Boys, who can dodge Stormfront's lightning (671 million miles per hour). Billy Butcher has claimed that some Supes can outrun tachyons, which are theoretical particles that move faster than light. Regenerative Healing Factor: Homelander possesses a healing factor that allows him to recover faster compared to ordinary humans as shown when he healed a cut on his face from a sword by Queen Maeve. Longevity: Homelander ages slower than a normal human, due to Compound V. Resurrection: Compound V can bring Supes back to life in case they do indeed die, but limits the cognitive abilities of the user. Compound V's resurrection also only works if the user has a functioning brain. Heat Vision: Homelander is capable of projecting highly concentrated beams of energy from his eyes. These blasts of energy are so powerful that they appear to be able to cut through anything. However, Homelander is most notable for using his optical beams on people, melting flesh and bone with ease and causing people to burst into gore. His heat vision can also take down an airplane, and cause a small explosion. X-Ray Vision: Homelander's vision allows him to see through any solid object or surface. Superhuman Hearing: Homelander possesses tremendous auditory awareness, allowing him to detect sounds from miles away. He can also use this power to detect a person's heartbeat, and can tell when they are excited or anxious, such as when he detected Billy Butcher's blood pressure to try and determine his motives. Superhuman Smell: Homelander's sense of smell has been heightened far beyond normal human capabilities, allowing him to smell things no other being could. He can use this power to detect an explosive, or to sense adrenaline produced by fear. SonicScreamComic Homelander's scream ruptures the ears of all passengers
“ SHUT UP! ―Homelander shouting ” Superhuman Voice: John's vocal cords are 20 times more powerful than the ones of a regular human, he can scream so loud that it rupture the eardrums of anyone around him. Flight: Homelander is able to levitate and propel himself at great speeds, allowing him to cover vast distances in a matter of minutes. He can keep up with airplanes and break the sound barrier. During the "I Tell You No Lie, G.I." storyline, he flew through the tail of a plane and smashed it in half. Billy Butcher says that some Supes can fly to the moon. Abilities “ He's humble, so he doesn't intimidate the men. He's vulnerable, so the women get to add a little romance to their fuck-fantasies. The right like him 'cause he's powerful an' he's ours. The left like him cause he's smart an' he's got a sense of humor, so at last this walkin' goddamn bomb is human... ―Old Legend ” Charisma: As a result of Vought's years of conditioning, Homelander was an extremely charismatic and incredibly charming public figure. In each of his public appearances, Homelander proved to be loved and followed by groups of all genders, ages, and political leanings. Acting: Homelander was trained by Vought to become a highly skilled actor, being capable of using his heroic facade to trick most of the public. When enacting his plans to take over the world, Homelander also acted very docile to prevent suspicion from Vought. Intelligence: Despite his mental illness, Homelander has demonstrated to be very intelligent when the moment arises. He's consistently proven to be the smartest and most aware member of The Seven, correctly suspecting that the Boys returned before anyone, and later planning a coup to attack the White House. He was so cunning that the Boys and James Stillwell were surprised as to why they even had evidence to blackmail him in the first place, something that was later revealed to be the result of Black Noir framing him. Intimidation: Homelander is known to have a very intimidating presence that helps keep the members of The Seven in check. Many of those around him would not try to face him due to him being way to powerful and don't want to be killed. Indomitable Will: Homelander's insanity, or his frame of mind, made him immune to those who try to threaten him. His strength of will is super dark that he sought to destroy anyone who gets in the way of what he wants no matter the cost. Although, his fearlessness has limits as he can be intimidated by James Sitwell, the high-ranking executive of Vought-American. Weaknesses Psychological Lack of Training: He has no formal training in the use of his powers, or in handling dangerous situations. Along with the rest of his team, these inadequacies led to disaster when they attempted to stop a terrorist hijacking of a plane. Mental Illness: Homelander is a mentally unstable man. His obsessive need to be adored coupled with his consummate lack of empathy and lack of moral reservation about harming, even killing others suggests he is afflicted with Malignant Narcissism. After getting tricked by Black Noir that he committed a variety of heinous crimes, such as rape and cannibalism, Homelander became even more insane and mentally unstable. Biological Blunt Force/Limited Durability: Homelander can be wounded and killed by someone who is as strong as or stronger than him, such as in the case of Black Noir. Absence of Fulcrum (Tentative): During the "I Tell You No Lie, G.I." storyline, the events of 9/11 seem to suggest that he is unable to use his full strength in flight, requiring a solid surface to take full advantage of his power.

Trivia Homelander is a parody of Superman and Captain America possessing the power set and fabricated backstory of the former and the patriotic costume of the latter. Ironically, Superman is one of Garth Ennis' favorite superheroes despite his disdain for the genre. Homelander’s suit incorporates prominent jodhpurs on the legs, which were originally designed as padding for horse-riding cavalry. While jodhpurs were common among officers in many European armies up through World War II, they are most heavily associated with the militaries of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Although Homelander is one of the main antagonists of the comic series, he is not killed by his archenemy Billy, but is instead killed by Black Noir. His name literally means "A person from one's homeland". With the comic’s focus on the military-industrial complex, the name is likely a reference to The US Department of Homeland Security, whose formation four years before the comic started was highly controversial due to perceived overreach and incompetence. The Amazon version of the character, played by Antony Starr, is almost completely identical to his comic counterpart, save for a more Herculean physique as opposed to being built like a tank, and a slightly altered costume akin to Hyperion and Ultraman. However, his Amazon version counterpart was shown that he actually raped Billy Butcher's wife, while in the comics he doesn't. Gallery
- #12Black Thugg
Keys: Black Thugg
Black Thugg is a minor posthumous character in the comic book series The Boys, who had his debut at the comic sequel The Boys: Dear Becky. He is a Supe and a member of The Skorchers, a group of sex-themed heroes seen only in flashback scenes. History Black Thugg's codename and persona are rooted in negative stereotypes associated with black males, likely a deliberate choice by Vought-American to resonate with The Skorchers' fan base. In a recorded business meeting, he expressed discomfort to Vought-American executives regarding the racial stereotyping demanded for his public image enhancement.
Black Thugg later meets his end by the hands of Butcher alongside his fellow teammates when they consume tampered food that renders them unconscious. An image of his lifeless, beheaded body marks the conclusion of his character's presence in the story.
Known powers Enhanced strength: According to information provided by Mother's Milk, when briefing The Boys about The Skorchers' abilities, he mentions that Black Thugg is "pretty strong". However, the full extent of his enhanced strength remains undisclosed.
- #13Blarney Cock
Keys: Blarney Cock · Secondary: Maeves Bastard
The Blarney Cock is a minor antagonist in the controversial comic book series The Boys. He was an Irish-born Supe and the bastard child of Queen Maeve and The Legend. Born the illegitimate son of The Legend and Queen Maeve, the boy that would become "The Blarney Cock" was raised in an Irish orphanage through the offices of Vought. When his powers manifested, he was then recruited, shipped to the US and rose up the ranks to Teenage Kix alongside his fellow supe Whack Job.
When the Boys yet again used embarrassing information to undermine Vought via their aggregated knowledge of superhero sex lives, they targeted Teenage Kix. In Blarney’s case, he had been caught stealing drugs while visiting a children’s hospital. Later, having found out it was the Boys that put the team in a humiliating position, Blarney and the rest of the group tracked them down, seeking violent revenge.
The Boys engaged in a brutal street fight with Teenage Kix, and while fighting Blarney Cock, Wee Hughie panicked and punched out his viscera, unaware at that time of the potential of his Compound V enhanced strength.
After receiving a public and highly televised funeral, Blarney was then the "fortunate" recipient of a Compound V assisted revivification, in an attempt to show that Supes were virtually invincible. However, the revivification process turned Blarney into a “r*****” according to his old teammates, causing him to mumble incoherently and constantly urinate himself.
In his zombified state, Blarney sought out the hamster that was in his rectum at the time of his death... which brought him into conflict with its new owner - Wee Hughie - who promptly killed him again. Hughie then burned Blarney’s corpse to both cover his tracks and ensure that he would stay dead.
The Legend would later reveal that he despised Blarney and believed that Hughie had done him a favor by killing him. He was not mentioned once by Queen Maeve.
Powers Flight: Blarney Cock is able to fly.
Trivia His real name (Martin Nurse) was revealed during his funeral. A gerbil crawling out of his pants after being killed by Hughie Campbell is a refence to fictious phenomenon of "Gerbiling", an urban legend first recorded in 1984 about a supposed sexual practice among gay men (as well as male celebrities like Richard Gere) involving inserting rodents into one's rectum in order to gain sexual pleasure. Having lived though various pop culture appearances such as South Park, this "practice" has been long since debunked by researchers and journalists as homophobic rumours energized by the Aids crisis. Blarney is regarded as relating tall tales in a charismatic or interesting fashion. Cock is a synonym for Rooster, also slang for the penis. Slang or aliases which include the word "cock" indicate a person is irritating or overly confident, it can alternatively suggest a proclivity for fornication.
- #14Cold Snap
Keys: Cold Snap
Cold Snap is a minor character in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys. He was the leader of G-Force. Background Cold Snap was among the first unfortunate individuals abducted by cult leader and serial child rapist John Godolkin during his childhood. He became just one of the numerous victims enticed to Godolkin's mansion with the promise of forming his self-proclaimed superhero teams. After being exposed to Compound V, he acquired superhuman abilities and eventually became a member of Godolkin's main team known as G-Men. He would eventually be reassigned to lead G-Force.
Later, Cold Snap, along with his teammates, meets his demise when Vought-American deems Godolkin and the G-Teams a public relations liability and dispatches heavily armed Red River operatives to attack their mansion.
Known powers Ice Generation: Cold Snap can generate ice with his hands. Trivia Cold Snap is an obvious parody of Marvel Comics' Iceman, one of the original members of the X-Men.
- #15Country Mama
Keys: Country Mama
A super-strong member of the minor-league super-hero group Team Titanic, Country Mama was in a meeting with Vought-American executives James Stillwell and Jess Bradley when they were attacked by The Frenchman and The Female in their headquarters.
In the ensuing skirmish, Country Mama put The Frenchman in a headlock, but was unable to prevent him from killing Regina Dentata. Her teammate The Starlike attacked the Frenchman with a poorly-aimed blast of energy, which severed his arm but also accidentally decapitated Country Mama.
Known powers Supernatural strength: Country Mama was strong enough to hold The Frenchman in a headlock.
- #16Crimson Countess II
Keys: Crimson Countess II, Crimson Countess
he second Crimson Countess is a minor character of the superhero-drama comic series The Boys. She was a member of Crimefighters Incorporated.
History The official tale about the Crimson Countess supported by Vought-American and their subsidiary Victory Comics, had her fighting heroically in The Avenging Squad during World War II, only to resurface in our world in modern times to fight evil in its new manifestations. In reality, the original Crimson Countess was killed during her first mission by a German airstrike.
This second version of the Crimson Countess had her public debut in June 1950 as part of Crimefighters Incorporated, a recast version of The Avenging Squad. The new team is presented solely as a crime-fighting force, with no military connotations whatsoever. She was also eventually replaced by another woman when the team was rebranded to Payback, and whatever happened to her is left to wonder.
Known powers Flight: Although she is not seen flying in plot scenes, some magazine covers (both for the comic series itself and also in-universe material) portray her successor (who is supposed to have the same powerset) doing so. Heat generation: The Crimson Countess has the ability to emit microwaves from her hands, resulting in heat blasts hot enough to melt steel.
Advertisement Trivia She, like the other Crimson Countess versions, is a parody of the Marvel Comics character Scarlet Witch.

Keys: Crimson Countess III, Crimson Countess
The third Crimson Countess is a minor antagonist of the superhero-drama comic series The Boys. A member of Payback, she was in a romantic relationship with Mind-Droid.
Contents 1 History 2 Known powers 3 Relationships 3.1 Allies 3.2 Enemies 4 Trivia History The official tale about the Crimson Countess, endorsed by Vought-American and their subsidiary Victory Comics, portrays her as a heroic figure who valiantly fought during World War II and later reemerged in the modern era to combat contemporary evils. However, the truth is that the original Crimson Countess perished during her first mission in issue #53 due to a German airstrike. Since then, other women with similar powers and appearances have been chosen to assume the same character. The current Crimson Countess is the third superheroine to bear this codename.
Officially, she was in a stable romantic relation with her teammate Mind-Droid, but again the truth was different: she slept around a lot, either with other Supes, most notably her teammate Stormfront, or with high ranking people in Vought-American, in the effort of earning a slot in The Seven.
The Crimson Countess accepted a lot of humiliations and compromises in her constant shots at career advancements, and during a Herogasm she even let Vic the Veep, the new politician endorsed by V-A, shamelessly fondle her breasts to arouse himself. Finally, V-A offered Payback as a whole the chance to join The Seven, something that actually each one of them had tried sooner or later: a group of subversive individuals, known only as The Boys, was causing a lot of trouble to The Seven and to the company in general, and they needed to be dealt with in a definitive way. During the night at Herogasm, Crimson Countess and Stormfront began to have sex with each other, with Crimson Countess giving oral sex to Stormfront. After Stormfront sent one of them, The Female, to the hospital, the team organized an ambush for the others: as soon as they showed up at their friend’s bedside, they attacked, without much care for the surroundings.
The Crimson Countess first tried to fry Hughie, but he managed to avoid her blasts. As she was about to finish her target, she was bitten in her arm by Terror, who had escaped in the cellar after being sent flying against a wall. As she reached the dog, she was about to melt him with an energy blast, but the dog’s master, Billy Butcher, appeared right behind her: using his own belt, he started strangling her, until he broke her neck, leaving her for the others to find.
Advertisement Known powers Flight (Tentative): While the Crimson Countess is never depicted flying in the storyline, several magazine covers—both for the comic series and in-universe material—illustrate her in flight. Heat generation: The Crimson Countess has the ability to emit microwaves from her hands, resulting in heat blasts hot enough to melt steel.

- #19Critter
Keys: Critter
Critter is a minor antagonist in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys. He was a vulgar Sasquatch-like Supe and founding member of the G-Men.
Contents 1 Background 1.1 Early Childhood and Career 1.2 Infiltration of the G-Men and Death at the Hands of the Red River Army 2 Personality 3 Appearance 4 Trivia Background Early Childhood and Career Not much is revealed about Critter's early life or anything in general about his career as a superhero. However, like the rest of the G-Men, he was presumably abducted by John Godolkin after being lured into his limousine and taken to the G-Men Mansion, where he would have been given large amounts of Compound V (which made him grow fur-like hair all over his body) before having his original name and identity erased in favor of one chosen by Godolkin as part of his "training". He would have also presumably later been sexually abused and brainwashed by Godolkin in order to control Critter and keep him obedient, as with what happened to his other peers. His position within the G-Main seems to have been mainly concerned with clerical and administrative responsibilities , such as recording new recruits and overlooking security, a role he deeply disliked.
Infiltration of the G-Men and Death at the Hands of the Red River Army He is first shown in the front entrance to the G-Men Mansion where he asked recent G-Whiz member "Bagpipe" (Hughie Campbell while undercover) for his papers. While remarking on why he was always tasked with "admin bullshit", snarky claims that "the devil with idle hands", to which Critter responds by calling him a "f$#%t”.
Critter was among the G-Men and related teams that were massacred by Red River on James Stillwell's orders.
Personality As with the case of most G-Men members, Critter was a crass and hedonistic so-called "superhero" who was casually sex-obsessed and more concerned with maintaining his luxurious lifestyle than actually trying to live up the made-up script as a "discriminated" Supe trying to protect a society prejudiced against them, which Godolkin and Vought created to simply market the team better. Ironically, like with the other White G-Men, he is shown to be deeply racist towards the all-Black G-Coast and G-Style spin-off teams. Additionally, he was also notable for being extremely homophobic, with Critter often calling his gay teammates "f$#%?ts" and jokingly suggested during one brunch that gay G-Men members Flamer and the Devine spend the money made from the franchise's revenue on "golden cock rings". Because of his anti-gay bigotry, Critter had something of a feud with the Devine over his use of slurs and mockery, an only situation worsened by Devine's smug and arrogant personality.
Out of all the G-Men, he was the most willing to openly challenge John Godolkin's increasingly irrational leadership decisions (or at least without being killed like Nubia), compared to most of his teammates, who at best just whispered their contempt and mockery of their leader either under their breaths or in private. He even went as far as to openly criticize Gondolkin for trying to add more members to the G-Men rooster and endlessly creating spin-off teams, despite how obviously impossible it was to conceal such a vast criminal enterprise without being it discovered by the public or attracting the attention of the authorities.
Appearance Due to the large amounts of Compound-V he was injected with as a child, Critter grew hair over his entire body and increased his height significantly, giving him a feral Sasquatch-like appearance, which resulted in his code name being "Critter". The only clothes Critter is shown a pair of trunks and a pair of boxing gloves on his hands.
Trivia He is a debauch parody of X-Men member Beast from Marvel Comics. Given that Critter was shown alongside Godolkin observing Jamal during a G-Whiz training session and was the most concerned with keeping the group's dark secrets from being revealed during the brunch scene, it appears that Critter was one of the older G-Men members that Jamal (Dime-Bag) claimed would "join in" on Godolkin's sex crimes on children.
- #20Dakota Bob
Keys: Dakota Bob, Robert Shaefer,
Robert Shaefer, commonly known as Dakota Bob, is a character in the Dynamite series The Boys.
Background Robert Shaefer, aka Dakota Bob, transitioned from business to politics. He was intelligent but unscrupulous, championing free markets and corporate profits. Rising at Halliburton, he made allies and foes with his unwavering, often ruthless ways. He entered politics, becoming Vice President after Dan Quayle's exit during George H. W. Bush's term. In this role, Shaefer bolstered corporate ties, showcasing competence and a strong work ethic. Post-Bill Clinton, he ran for president, clashing with superhero giant Vought-American over national security concerns. While he ran for president, he disliked his VP, Victor Neuman, whom he saw as a Vought-American puppet.
As President, Shaefer repaid campaign backers by privatizing most public services, except for intelligence and the military, which he considered essential for national security. This stance conflicted with Vought-American's plan to militarize superheroes. Shaefer ordered the CIA to monitor superheroes, leading to the formation of The Boys, a clandestine team to regulate superheroes with extreme measures.
After 9/11, Shaefer responded swiftly to the terrorist threat, preventing further attacks by intercepting hijacked planes. However, Neuman's interference led to a disastrous decision by The Seven, causing a plane to crash on the Brooklyn Bridge. Although Shaefer lacked evidence of Vought-American's involvement, he was determined never to lose control again. Instead of retaliating against Afghanistan, he invaded Pakistan, reshaping history.
In a subsequent incident, President Dakota Bob met The Association of Children with Special Pets in the Oval Office. He privately made disparaging comments about the kids before the meeting. While discussing The Seven's military goals, a security mishap happened. A boy's wolverine was released and attacked, fatally injuring Dakota Bob. This incident later prompted Homelander's coup against Acting President Victor Neuman.
Advertisement Trivia Dakota Bob is based on Dick Cheney, as both were involved with Halliburton.
- #21Dogknott
Keys: Dogknott
Dogknott is a minor antagonist in the controversial comic book series The Boys. He is a superhero and member of the corrupt team Teenage Kix.
History Dogknott is one of the many people who had been exposed to Compound V as kids and developed superpowers as a consequence. Still a teenager, he joined the superhero team Teenage Kix.
As a public figure, he appeared as a hero; in his private life, he could not care less about doing something good with his powers. He indulged in all sorts of vices, from drug abuse to massive orgies with his teammates. Secretly bisexual (as much as the group was supposed to be “dark and modern”, bisexuality would have still taken some audience appeal from his character), he was a sexual partner to Big Game, performing oral sex on his team leader while he used drugs.
Someone had been taken pictures of the Teenage Kix in intimate moments, documenting their illegal and sick perversions, and threatened to make everything public if one of them did not admit in front of the world their “private shame”. Dogknott managed to keep his vices secret, as Shout Out was voted by everyone to be outed as gay.
A secret informer, then, revealed the identity of the blackmailer to the Teenage Kix: The Boys. Knowing the identity of his attackers, Dogknott followed his team on the streets to confront the Boys openly. Dogknott himself had Mother's Milk as an adversary and was quickly knocked down after being thrown at Whack Job, losing several teeth when hitting the floor. His last appearance was in fellow teammate Blarney Cock's funeral.
Powers Canine Physiology: Dogknott has dog-like characteristics, such as a fur-covered body and possibly claw retraction. While the extent of his powers is not explored, he might have other sub-powers of or powers relating to canines. Trivia Dogknott is a parody of Beast from Marvel Comics' X-Men.
- #22Drummer Boy
Keys: Drummer Boy
Drummer Boy is a supe and the leader of the Young Americans.
History In the public view, Drummer Boy showed himself as a good and moral person, representing the values of a young Conservative Christian. Being part of the Young Americans and proudly wearing patriotic colors, he became a respected figure in society. His connection with the Young Republicans made him even more popular as a beloved and caring public figure: he was one of the superheroes to back Shout Out on national television when he openly declared he was a gay man and decided to take a break from his superhero duties.
In his carefully crafted public persona, Drummer Boy started a romantic relationship with fellow teammate Starlight. However, their connection was presented as strictly non-sexual, aligning with their shared commitment against pre-marital intimacy. This portrayal served as a counterpoint to the more rebellious Teenage Kix, appealing to a conservative segment of the population.
As fate would have it, Drummer Boy ended up becoming the leader of the team, taking over from the original leader, The Standard. Meanwhile, Starlight got a promotion and joined The Seven, filling the gap left by Lamplighter. With Starlight gone, the Young Americans could finally relax. At the same time, Drummer Boy started a romantic relationship with another teammate, Holy Mary. However, publicly, he continued to act like he was committed to Starlight, talking about the difficulties of being in a long-distance relationship.
The whole act fell apart when Starlight, feeling let down by her time with The Seven, came back to the Young Americans' place. Hoping for comfort, she walked in on Drummer Boy and Holy Mary having sex. Drummer Boy tried to explain, saying he felt lonely and wasn't sure when Starlight would be back, which he interpreted as a breakup.
- #23Eagle The Archer III
Keys: Eagle The Archer III
The third Eagle the Archer is a minor character of the superhero-drama comic series The Boys. A member of Payback, he does not make an appearance in the comics and is only mentioned by other characters.
History Eagle the Archer is not the first individual to bear this codename: the truth is that the original one perished during his first mission in issue #53 due to a German airstrike. Since then, other men with similar powers and appearances have been chosen to assume the same character. The current Eagle the Archer is actually the third one.
By the time the comics take place, Eagle the Archer is already deceased and only briefly mentioned by other characters. Soldier Boy recalls his friendship with Eagle during the events of The Boys: Herogasm. Billy Butcher mentions that he knew Eagle had "got coked off his tits" and had beaten his girlfriend so severely that she ended up in a coma. Butcher blackmailed Eagle by threatening to disclose this information unless he provided details about his other teammates from Payback, which Butcher later used to attack them with the Boys.
Equipment Hero Costume: Like most supes, Eagle has his own superhero uniform. Bow: Eagle uses a bow as his main weapon of choice. Quiver: Eagle has a quiver which he uses to carry his arrows. Arrows: Eagle carries with him multiple arrows.
- #24Fire Supe
Keys: Fire Supe
Like the rest of his team, the Fire Supe is sexually involved with Invisi-Lass of Fantastico. During Herogasm, he and Reacher Dick were having sex with Invisi-Lass, and the three did not even bother to stop the session when The Doofer apparently had just suffered a fatal drug overdose.
In his last chronological appearance in the comics, he and the other surviving members of Fantastico answered Homelander's call to organize a coup d'etat against the United States. This led to an attack on the White House, but it is unknown if he took part on it or not.
Known powers Fire Manipulation: This Supe is able to manipulate fire to an unknown extent. Pyrokinetic Aura: He is only seen engulfed in an aura of fire surrounding his entire body. It is suggested he is able to turn this aura off. Fire Immunity: He displays an apparent invulnerability to fire, at least from the flames he generates himself. Pyrokinetic Flight: He is capable of levitating and propelling himself through the air. He is only seen doing this while using his aura, indicating that it is connected to his fire-based powers. Trivia The Fire Supe is a parody of Human Torch from Marvel Comics. Unlike his Marvel counterpart, the Fire Supe is most likely not related to Invisi-Lass due to their sexual involvement with each other.
- #25Five-Oh
Keys: Five-Oh
Five-Oh is a minor antagonist in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys. He was a motorcycle-helmet-wearing superhero with laser vision as well as a founding member of the so-called "outcast" team (and secret sex cult), the G-men.
Contents 1 Background 1.1 Early Childhood and training as a G-Man 2 Personality 3 Powers 4 Trivia Background Early Childhood and training as a G-Man Like the rest of the G-Men, Five-Oh was kidnapped sometime in the past by John Godolkin as a child before being injected with Compound-V, which in turn gave him his superpowers. As part of his "training" in the G-Men, he was molested and brainwashed by Godolkin to be nothing more than his personal lapdog, as such was the case with all of Godolkin's victims.
Personality Wearing a helmet on his head and sporting a wardrobe fit for motorcycle rides, Five-Oh is an emotionless, slightly rude, Supe. He doesn’t seem to hold many ordinary people or even other G-Men in high regard—John Godolkin especially, often criticizing Gondolkin for his narcistic pretensions and nonsensical speeches. Nevertheless, Five-Oh was somehow still fanatical loyal when the interest of the G-Men franchise were threated. His only real friend seemed to be Cold Snap, with whom he seems to have formed some sort of a friendship. As the name suggests, Five-Oh has cop-like tendencies. Mostly modelling his costume and code name after motorcycle high patrol officers, he rides a motorcycle and wears a helmet as he pretends to keep the world in order. Five-Oh openly states that money is what drives him, not justice. Like most of the White G-Men members, he is also extremely racist towards blacks.
Powers Laser Vision: He also has special goggles that can produce energy beams. Trivia He is a parody of X-Men member Cyclops from Marvel Comics. Unlike the loving relationship between Cyclops and Jean Grey, Five-Oh completely despised Silver Kincaid (The Boys counterpart to Jean Grey) for being Godolkin's assassin. He even calls her a "prick-teasing bitch" after her death.
- #26The Frenchman
Keys: The French, Frenchie
The Frenchman, also known as Frenchie, is a main character of The Boys. He is one of the two powerhouses of the Boys — the other being Female of the Species. He is described as having a strong connection with both Female and Billy, however, he has killer instincts and his anger is hard to reign in once provoked. Similar to Female of the Species, the Frenchman's use of Compound V has given him abilities such as increased strength, smell and increased durability.

Advertisement Background The Frenchman's past is somewhat mysterious and vague however not for lack of his openness regarding his past, more so the Frenchman's fantastical stories concerning his past history is so dramatic it almost seems like a made up story. By his own account he was born in a small village in the Pyrenees that spoke its own unique dialect of French. The Frenchman was a young man who went to war, leaving behind his sweet heart Marie, to patiently wait for his return.
The war would change the Frenchman, and he would return with a new outlook on life, he would return as a pacifist. He return to his parents and as he had hoped to his darling Marie, however in an almost Shakespearean twist, Marie was now romantically attached to the Frenchman's bitter enemy, Black Pierre! The Frenchman would be distraught at this betrayal and sink into a depression. His father egging the Frenchman to stand up and fight is only met with his sons newfound pacifism. Since the Frenchman won't challenge Black Pierre to a duel (jousting with baguettes on bicycles, as is traditional in the town), the Frenchman's father decides to. Before the Frenchman can prevent his father from competing against Black Pierre in a duel tragedy strikes, as the Frenchman's father is lethally wounded and now the Frenchman is dealt another harsh card. Renouncing his pacifism the Frenchman becomes a wanderer frequently getting into bar room brawls before catching the attention of one Billy Butcher.
The Boys Assemble The Frenchman is eating at a cafe talking to himself as usual when he finds himself in a vicious fight. At the climax of Billy Butcher arrives and the two friends reunite with smiles and cheer. Butcher is reassembling an anti superhero squad under CIA backing and is there to recruit the Frenchman who also served on the former Boys squad. The Frenchman already knows all the other members of the Boys, except for the new scottish member Wee Hughie whom Butcher introduces him to. Butcher has decided that Teenage Kix be the very first mission for the Boys and as such the Frenchman helps in surveillance of the teenage superhero group, observing and recording embarrassing and illegal behavior undertaken by the Teenage Kix members. Butcher uses these acquired information to anonymously blackmail the Teenage Kix. One of their members must fall on their sword so to speak and make public their indiscretions lest the whole team be outed. Shout Out is the member who decides to make a public announcement announcing that he is homosexual, however this news announcement catches the attention of the Homelander who suspects Butcher and the Boys of this situation, and he sends the Kix an email revealing to them the identities of their blackmailers.
Advertisement Glorious Five Year Plan The Frenchman and the Boys are heading to Russia, heading to Moscow to meet with an old acquaintance of Butcher's Vasili Vorishikin also known as Vas and a former superhero known as Love Sausage. The group run afoul of Nina Kamenko, also known as Little Nina.
Personality Despite his frequent brutality, The Frenchman is a kind man and a loyal friend and has spent much time trying to help The Female, who is his best friend, deal with her mental problems. He appears somewhat calm and shy in nature, until provoked, and once provoked his anger can be hard to reign in, giving way to ruthless aggression and ferocious brutality against his enemies or any who might seek to mock or insult him.
Powers and Abilities Powers Superhuman Strength: Considered the muscle of the Boys team, alongside his best friend The Female, the Frenchman is superhumanly strong and extremely durable, which aids his brutal ferocity and nature. In a cafe, he brutally injured a man with a headbutt, and punched another man's bottom jaw off. He later instantly knocked out a man with a knee to the face. Against the Teenage Kix, he easily lifted one off the ground. The Frenchman was also able to slam two men's heads together with enough force to knock out one's eyeball, and also kill some other Supes. He injured Stormfront with a baseball bat, and snapped another Supe's neck. Possibly his greatest feat was throwing the Female onto a flying plane. Superhuman Smell: The Frenchman has a heightened sense of smell, surpassing even that of a dog. Superhuman Durability: Similar to his strength, the Frenchman can tolerate extreme amounts of physical pain. Abilities Expert Combatant: The Frenchman is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

While familiarizing himself with the supes of the world including their backgrounds and potential weaknesses, Hughie comes across a villain named Galaxius as well as the protocol that has been put in place to defeat him. What Hughie finds is truly disturbing. Hughie learns that the only way to defeat Galaxius is to satisfy him sexually. In fact, the Boys member reveals that it is up to one supe in particular, Reacher Dick, to use his powers to make his hand large enough to carry out the inappropriate task. Hughie is disturbed by this, and even stopped to ask his fellow Boys' members if the file was legit.
The Boys Presents: Diabolical “ By the many moons of my homeworld. Galaxius has returned once more. ―Jack from Jupiter ” After Great Wide Wonder and Ironcast are both killed following the former's overdose by the Boys, the public is horrified by the carnage. Homelander, Queen Maeve, and Jack from Jupiter quickly think of a way to distract the crowd by tricking the public into thinking Galaxius has returned. They then promise to avenge Great Wide Wonder and fly away.
Trivia Galaxius is a parody of Marvel's Galactus. The protocol to defeating Galaxius is a parody on a storyline by Marvel Comics in which Mister Fantastic uses the Ultimate Nullifier to defeat Galactus. Given the perverse nature of The Boys comic series, it is fitting that the only way to destroy a potentially world-ending threat is through sexual gratification, which flips the Marvel storyline The Boys is referencing on its head in a truly twisted fashion.

Contents 1 The Boys Presents: Diabolical 2 Personality 3 Powers 4 Weakness 4.1 Psychological 4.2 Biological 5 Gallery 5.1 Photos 5.2 Videos 6 References The Boys Presents: Diabolical Great Wide Wonder was one of the superheroes of Vought-American, who isn't a member of The Seven. He possesses the power of supersonic flight. Despite being a hero, he actually is a drug addict who enjoys heroin enemas and is a customer of drug dealer Oswald Deneeka. Due to his drug addiction, he was picked by The Boys as their next target.
Sometime in 2006, Great Wide Wonder gave a speech in Colombia University and took two female honor students he met in a private celebration up in the sky. He was having sex with them while flying all the way up into space, causing the girls to freeze to death. According to Butcher, their bodies were never recovered and are still floating in the vacuum of space.
In 2007, Butcher blackmailed Deneeka into adding a vial of chemicals made by Frenchie into his heroin enema liquid, causing him to enter a drug induced excitement state. He uncontrollably ran right through Ironcast and got both of them killed in a very gruesome way.
Personality Like most supes, Wide Wonder is hedonist and very irresponsible. He allowed himself to accidentally kill multiple women while he was having sex with them, because he forgot (or simply didn't care) that normal humans can't survive in space and, despite being responsible for multiple deaths, does not show any guilt.
He is also addicted to heroin and is very picky when it comes to his drug seller, not trusting most of them to give him a good product.
Powers Supersonic Flight: He possessed the power of supersonic flight, easily breaking the sound barrier, and being able to go from Mach 1.5 to Mach 2 in just a matter of seconds Superhuman Durability: Wide Wonder is durable enough to survive the stress of flying at Mach speeds, including withstanding the freezing cold of space and even smashing through buildings unharmed, but when he flies straight through Ironcast, he gets his bones broken and killed. Vacuum Adaptation: As explained by Butcher, while having sex with a few honor students he met in a private celebration he flew all the way up into space, causing the girls to freeze to death, confirming he can survive in space. Superhuman Strength (Tentative): As shown before he died he was able to dent Ironcast's stomach before getting himself killed, which may hint that he had superhuman strength. However it is also possible that this feat was caused by the superhuman momentum which he had at the time. Weakness Psychological Heroin Addiction: He frequently abused Heroin Enemas, this ultimately led to his demise. Carelessness: He is very irresponsible. He took heroin right before a big event and accidentally killed multiple women, because he forgot that normal humans can't survive in space. Biological Blunt Force/Limited Durability: While his durability are still greater than a humans, he is not invincible. When he flies straight through Ironcast, he gets his bones broken and killed.

Groundhawk Groundhawk (Comics) Real Name Unknown Alias(es) Groundhawk Species Supe Citizenship United States Gender Male Occupation Superhero Team leader of the G-Men Affiliation Vought-American G-Men Status Deceased Cause of death Killed By Vought American Comics Information Creator(s) Garth Ennis Darick Robertson Issue count The Boys First seen The Boys #24 - We Gotta Go Now, Part Two For the Amazon version of this character, see Groundhawk. Groundhawk is a minor character in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys. He was a mindless, feral supe with literal oversized metal hammers for his hands and the faux "team leader" of the superhero team/sex cult, the G-Men.
Contents 1 Background 2 Powers and Abilities 3 Weaknesses 4 Trivia 5 Commentary 6 Gallery Background Almost nothing is known about Groundhawk's previous life, but it is assumed that just like other G-Men members, he was kidnapped as a child by John Godolkin, given Compound V, and trained to become a superhero as well as the leader of the G-Men. His animalistic need to kill people with his hammer-hands, his fearlessness, and inability to speak proper words other than his phrase "Gonna" is a result of the side-effects caused by Compound V. Due to the fact that he has hammers for hands, his teammates normally feed him during lunch. However, he is rather cannibalistic and would normally eat his enemies/victims alive.
Groundhawk is first seen in the comics growling and preparing to engage at Hughie Campbell but is soon stopped by one of his teammates. Vought-American would become concerned with G-Men's founder John Godolkin, who is selfish, greedy, and sexually abusive and becomes too much of a problem for the mega-corporation to deal with. Groundhawk leads the G-Men and the G-squads such as G-Force, G-Wiz, and the G-Style as they decide to take a stand against Vought's attempt at taking down Godolkin. They foolishly underestimate Vought's power and tech, that's when Vought forces fire bullets and bombs into the crowd and kill every single one of the G-Men including Groundhawk himself.
Powers and Abilities Superhuman Strength: Groundhawk is strong enough to fight off countless people with ease as well as flip over a car with his hammers. Superhuman Durability: Due to Compound V, Groundhawk gained superhuman durability which allows him to withstand massive amounts of damage without being weakened. Despite this, overwhelming firepower will eventually kill him, just as it does to his G-Men teammates. Hammer Hands: Groundhawk has two hammers where his hands should be, which is considered a great difficulty for him as he can't grab things. However, said hammers can be used as lethal weapons, being capable of smashing a person's head with one hit. Weaknesses Durability Limit: Despite his durability, overwhelming firepower will eventually kill him, just as it does to his G-Men teammates. Lack of Mobility: Because of Groundhawk's hammer hands, he is unable to perform even the simplest of tasks, such as feeding himself causing his fellow team members to help feed him. Low Intelligence: Groundhawk is mentally more akin to a feral animal than a human, and is as such almost always driven by his urge to attack others with his hammers. In addition, Groundhawk can only shout the word "gonna", and isn't able to speak at all otherwise. Trivia Groundhawk is a parody of Wolverine and a grim representation and exploitation of what Wolverine could be if he lost control of animalistic instincts and became completely feral. Beyond the visual similarities like having hammers as weapons attached to his hands instead of metal coated claws and a pointed mask with many edged patterns, Groundhawk also draws parallels with Wolverine's gruff and stiff vocabulary and love triangle relationship with Jean Grey and Cyclops. The reason for the sheer ridiculousness of Groundhawk's design and personality is because the character he's based on, Wolverine, is Garth Ennis' least favorite superhero. Groundhawk also serves as a parody of Razor-Fist, a similar antagonist with weapons replacing his hands Commentary Given his limited mental faculties and feral behavior, it's possible that Groundhawk was also killed off sometime in the past and later reanimated by John Godolkin as a mindless zombie, like his fellow G-Men member Nubia would later be.

With the face of a movie star and the power of a god, Homelander was the greatest superhero alive and the leader of Vought-American's premier superhero team The Seven. Not only could he fly, but he also had super strength and super hearing, and he could see through almost anything with his x-ray vision and then destroy it with his laser eyes.
On the surface, he was an affable and humble superhero, but his true nature and his secrets were what led him to clash with The Boys, a watchdog group of anti-superhero vigilantes backed by the CIA, becoming the archenemy of the leader of said group, Billy Butcher.

John Gillman, the Supe who would be known as Homelander, was grown by Vought-American, being the first of a new breed of heroes as a result of Compound V. While most of Vought's supes up to that point had been injected with Compound V as adults, Homelander was the first successful attempt to inject the serum on an embryo.
Grown from the DNA of Stormfront and birthed from a woman with mental illness and no legal guardian that was part of one of Vought's drug trials, the baby was born circa 1951 in an underground lab with most of his powers active, killing his mother at birth by eviscerating her with his heat vision. The blood-smeared infant soon began to fly with his umbilical cord still attached to him while he used his heat vision to kill many of the doctors and nurses that oversaw his birth.

John was later raised and experimented on by Vought in a silo in South Dakota for the next eighteen years where he was tied to an hydrogen bomb at a young age in case his aggression got out of control. Throughout his childhood, he developed his different powers, which included super strength, speed and durability, healing factor, longevity, resurrection, heat and x-ray vision, enhanced senses, sonic scream and flight. Vought trained the future Supe to act the right way, building a public persona that the people could latch onto.
Homelander becomes the leader of The Seven Homelander becomes the leader of The Seven
To the public, in a cover-up of the truth, his origin was that he "crash-landed on Earth", being found as a little baby at the bottom of a crater on a prairie without a spaceship. Hailing from the stars, the baby grew into a boy in a week and a teenager a week after that. Vought eventually realized that they needed a way to put down Homelander if it ever came to that, since using an hydrogen bomb wasn't practical, so from the same DNA they created a better and stronger clone that would work right next to Homelander, known to the public as Black Noir. In the early 1970s, Homelander became the leader of The Seven, a group made up of six other Supes who were created in the same way as Homelander after his success, including Noir.
9/11 Incident “ That's what you get when a bunch of fucks in tights try to save the goddamn day. ―The Legend on the 9/11 incident ” Homelander during the 9/11 fiasco Homelander during the 9/11 fiasco
During the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, The Seven were sent to stop the hijackers that took over a commercial passenger plane and rescue the hostages inside. Unfortunately, Homelander and the rest of his team didn't understand the tactical or physical challenges the mission required, this coupled with the fact that Black Noir fell while being carried and Jack from Jupiter fleeing the scene, resulted in the Seven making the situation worse. Homelander and Maeve forcefully opened the plane door during the flight, resulting in one of the kids that was close to the door being sucked out of the plane and dying due to the the cabin decompression. Entering the plane while the air was escaping, Queen Maeve told the scared passengers to put their oxygen masks on while Homelander strolled to the cockpit to stop the terrorists.
Being overwhelmed by all the passengers screaming for help, Homelander told them to shut up with his sonic scream, making the passengers' eardrums bleed. After the Deep broke the windshield, Homelander killed the terrorists and the plane began to fall. As Queen Maeve chastised him for his incompetence, Homelander gave up and left the plane with Mister Marathon holding on to him. After Marathon convinced him that they should help the plane otherwise Vought would fire them, Homelander flew towards the back of the plane in an attempt to shove the tail down and level it. Not measuring his own strength, Homelander ended up breaking the plane in half and killed Mister Marathon due to the impact. The fractured plane ended up crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge.
Meeting the Boys “ I asked the others afterwards, and none of them picked up on it. All they got was a constant sense of disdain, like you barely thought they were worth looking at. Actually, you didn't look at them. You couldn't take your eyes off me. ―Homelander to Butcher regarding their first meeting ” Shortly after the 9/11 disaster, Homelander and The Seven began to be blackmailed with proof of their involvement in the incident by The Boys, a government-sponsored group of people tasked with policing, monitoring, and potentially stopping corrupt superheroes, led at the time by Lieutenant-Colonel Greg Mallory. The blackmail enraged Lamplighter, making him burn Mallory's granddaughters in a fit of anger, which threatened to unleash a violent conflict between The Seven and the CIA.

Knowing what a conflict between them and the government would lead to, regardless of who'd came out on top, The Seven and the Boys decided to make a truce to prevent said conflict from escalating, with the group of Supes agreeing to sacrifice Lamplighter, giving him over to the Boys so that Mallory could kill him as revenge. During the meeting where Lamplighter was given to the group of superhuman watchdogs, Homelander noticed how one of them, Billy Butcher, couldn't take his eyes off him, noticing some intense hatred coming from the man directed at him specifically.
Welcoming Starlight “ You were kidding. That's brilliant. That was an official meeting of the Seven- that means playtime's over. Do you understand? Do you? ―Homelander to A-Train ” Homelander threatens A-Train Homelander threatens A-Train
Homelander was present to welcome Starlight, the new member of The Seven and replacement for Lamplighter, and show her their headquarters. Right after the tour, Homelander demanded that Starlight engaged in oral sex with him and two other members of The Seven, A-Train and Black Noir, as way to test how much she wanted to join the team.
He later held a meeting where he officially introduced Starlight as the new member of The Seven and discussed merchandising with the rest of his team, explaining that him, Noir and Queen Maeve gained more due to being more popular as "the big three". After Homelander caught A-Train making a slurping gesture to Starlight in the middle of the meeting, he threatened A-Train in private after the meeting and made him promise to never do that again in front of a Vought-American member.
Return of the Boys “ For us, duty calls- but let me just take a moment to remind the people at home that we're still watching out for them. That's our job. That's what we do. And should the worst ever happen, please, just remember: we'll be there for you. ―The Homelander's speech on live television ” Homelander and The Seven on television Homelander and The Seven on television
Shortly after the members of Teenage Kix began to be blackmailed and were forced to out one of their own members, it didn't take long for Homelander to figure out that Billy Butcher and the Boys were back to policing Supes. During another meeting, Homelander informed the rest of The Seven about Butcher's return and how his targeting of Teenage Kix was a "warning shot" for them, saying he wasn't going to go away. Homelander also informed Starlight during their meeting that Vought American demanded her to have a more revealing and "photogenic" costume from now on.
Following a huge fight between the members of Teenage Kix and the Boys, where Blarney Cock was killed and the other Supes were left badly injured, The Seven talked about how unusual was for the Boys to be so public about their attacks. During a live interview, Homelander introduced Starlight in her new costume as the replacement of Lamplighter in The Seven, later giving a speech about how they'll always be watching out for the people before going off to save the world.
Weakened Truce “ Why do you hate me so much? I don't mean this problem with super-people in general, or why your team has the agenda that it does. I mean why do you hate me? I can hear your heartrate, you know. You can keep your face perfectly still, but can't stop your heart pounding along like that--and I know it's not from fear, I'd be able to smell it. It's anger. Exactly the same as the last time we met. ―Homelander to Billy Butcher ” Homelander meets with Butcher at the Brooklyn Bridge Homelander meets with Butcher at the Brooklyn Bridge
The next year, Homelander had conversation with James Stillwell, where he disclosed to the Supe that Butcher and his men probably informed the white house of their V.P.'s visits and Vic's speech, with Homelander believing their headquarters was bugged. He later sent the Deep to meet with the Boys to see if the truce was still active, as he believed he wouldn't be able to hold his temper if he went himself. After Butcher refused to speak unless Homelander himself came to him, the two agreed to meet at the remains of the Brooklyn Bridge. After explaining to Butcher what consequences his actions would lead to and him never answering, Homelander asked the man why he hated him so much and began to suspect that he did something to someone that was close to Butcher.

After eventually figuring out that he did something to Butcher's wife, Butcher's pet Terror peed on Homelander, with the Supe threating to laser the dog before Butcher told him the truce would be officially broken if he harmed the animal. Tired of his games, Homelander told Butcher that he didn't care anymore and that he could start doing his worst if he wanted to, which ended their meeting. Back at their headquarters, Homelander was confronted by A-Train who demanded him to punish Starlight for blinding him after he tried to rape her, to which Homelander responded by throwing a fighter jet onto another, creating an explosion to make it clear that he wasn't in the mood for his complaints.

Days later, Homelander had a meeting with James Stillwell where he wanted to go over his involvement in the Believe event this year, but the Supe told Stillwell that he didn't want to do it this time, and even agreed with Starlight when she decided not to assist the event either, but the two were eventually forced to go anyway after Stillwell threatened to put The Seven and Vought-American's relationship under review. After that, A-Train found Homelander curled into a fetal position while sobbing about why he can't do the things he can. When Homelander asked if someone was there, A-Train ran out of there in panic.
The day of the Believe event, Homelander went to talk to Oh-Father after his presentation with the Sidekick 12, telling him that he needed him to keep tabs on what was happening around the world and how people would react to certain developments. Later watching Starlight's speech for the event, Homelander asked the leader of the Capes for Christ if there were any more Supes like her, who really believed in truth and justice, but Oh-Father told him that other than Super Duper, no other superhero believed in that bullshit like Starlight did. Homelander then asked Oh-Father if they could help push Vought's agenda of incorporating superheroes into national defense as a way to take over the world, with Oh-Father saying that he believes only sixty to sixty five percent of the Supes would go along with it. With this information, Homelander asked him to arrange a get-together of every Supe that would come on board for this.

Homelander later talked with Starlight in the VIP area of the event, telling her that he was impressed with how she stood up for herself against Stillwell, saying that it's always good to remind Vought that they're not their dogs. When Starlight brought up wanting to quit the Seven, Homelander mocked her about how hard she worked into joining the team and briefly had a moment of clarity, telling her that she could take the day off.
At the end of the Believe event, Homelander announced the winners of the Dinner with the Homelander prize, the Muller family of Larchmont, New York. Saying goodbye to the public, Homelander lifted the Muller family's car and took them up to the sky before dropping them to their deaths after telling them how they were scammed. After killing the Mullers, all Supes that Oh-Father called upon reunited with Homelander in the sky, ready to discuss their plan to conquer the world.
Secrecy and Reflections “ Are you scared? Of discovery, and punishment? Of what it means you are? Of the notion, by any sane measure of morality... that you've done something ctastrophic. ―Homelander to himself ” Homelander talking to his own reflection Homelander talking to his own reflection
During one of Black Noir's flying lessons, Homelander met Ms. Bradley and welcomed her and James Stillwell during their visit on The Seven Satellite. Stillwell asked him about Starlight, but Homelander said that she was still on her leave of absence. He also told Stillwell that everything went well with the N.Y.P.D. visit following the Mullers' "disappearance". At the end of Bradley and Stillwell's visit, Black Noir tried to take off on his aircraft, which still had some live ammunition on its cannon armament, and killed his instructor, splattering his guts on Ms. Bradley in the process.
In the bathroom, Homelander spoke to himself in the mirror, saying that people were toys for his amusement. His reflection then responded, wondering why was he even saying that to himself, believing that he was trying to convince himself of it, and that a real god wouldn't need to declare stuff to himself in the mirror. Homelander's reflection asked him if he was scared of being punished after they discover what he was trying to do. Homelander was also confronted with the idea that every terrible thing he's done so far was an attempt to impress his "daddy", and this angered him enough to try to punch his reflection before composing himself. Finally, the reflection asked Homelander why he remembered doing his recent crimes but not the ones from the past, like the one involving Billy Butcher's wife, but Homelander snapped out of this and composed himself, trying to leave the bathroom before saying to his reflection that Butcher showing his most depraved crimes to the world won't matter once he enacts his plan.
Death He roused the Supes together to takeover the United States. He personally killed Victor Neuman. Coming face to face with Butcher he revealed he didn't remember committing his photographed acts. That's when Black Noir appears and reveals he was the one who raped Butcher's wife and got her pregnant, ultimately resulting in her death, also manipulating Homelander so that he could kill him, the one purpose for his creation. Angered at being used, he fought Noir, taking their fight outside, however Noir eventually won, holding a part of Homelander's torso and his arm, albeit heavily damaged.
Appearance Homelander is a tall and muscular man with blond hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. He wears a suit reminiscent to Superman and Captain America's, echoing a blend between both drawn from the comics. Homelander wears red gloves and boots, as well as the American flag as a cape, connected by a chain to a giant gold American bald eagle on his right shoulder, symbolizing patriotism.
Personality At first glance Homelander appeared to be a kind and caring individual, a hero who will do anything to protect the citizens of America and the American Dream. However, behind the facade he was deeply narcissistic, disturbed, and psychotic, showing no empathy. For a superhero, Homelander was incredibly brutal and aggressive, showing no concern for the safety of his own teammates or the people he should be protecting.
While he did not hesitate to commit huge acts of violence, Homelander in the beginning of the story still had a moral compass. He would get disturbed when he saw pictures of himself eating a baby, and the inability to remember doing such things eventually drove him further into insanity.
Powers and Abilities Powers Homelander throwing a fighter jet with ease Homelander throwing a fighter jet with ease
Superhuman Strength: One of Homelander's primary abilities is his tremendous superhuman strength. Homelander is said to be the strongest man in the whole world. He possesses the greatest level of strength ever seen, allowing him to effortlessly overpower any opponent. He can hurl a fighter jet with one hand, crush a phone into dust, carry a car with four passengers while flying and kill Queen Maeve with just one punch. It is stated that he held up bridges scheduled for demolition. Homelander is considered a nuke when compared to the dynamite of Supes from the 1940's. He is superior to Stormfront, who can create tidal waves and hurricanes powerful enough to destroy entire villages and towns (8.6 Megatons of TNT). When injected or inhaled by Supes, Compound V increases their power even further, which Homelander has taken advantage of in the past. His strength was even enough to critically damage Black Noir during their battle. “ He's been in a silo in South Dakota for eighteen years, with a hydrogen bomb strapped to his ass 'til they're sure they can trust him. ―Old Legend ” A regular human dies after being thrown at Homelander A regular human dies after being thrown at Homelander
Nigh-Invulnerability: Homelander is very resistant to physical harm and the most resilient of the Seven. He is not only completely bulletproof, but also unfazed by explosions. Vought had to keep a hydrogen bomb strapped to him for 18 years, because they had no idea what else could possibly kill him. When Queen Maeve tried to hurt him with a sword, the weapon ended up breaking upon impact on his face. Billy Butcher claimed that Supes can swim across the Sun, where it can be over 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. The only thing capable of destroying him in the end was his own clone. Superhuman Stamina: Homelander possesses stamina that is enhanced to inhuman levels. As a result, his muscles produce practically no fatigue toxins during physical activity. They are able to withstand the stresses of moving at superhuman speeds or performing other superhuman feats for extended periods of time, without tiring or becoming weak. Superhuman Speed: Homelander can move far faster than the average human. He can tag A-Train, who can run at Mach 3 and move faster than Starlight could see. He is also faster than the members of the Boys, who can dodge Stormfront's lightning (671 million miles per hour). Billy Butcher has claimed that some Supes can outrun tachyons, which are theoretical particles that move faster than light. Regenerative Healing Factor: Homelander possesses a healing factor that allows him to recover faster compared to ordinary humans as shown when he healed a cut on his face from a sword by Queen Maeve. Longevity: Homelander ages slower than a normal human, due to Compound V. Resurrection: Compound V can bring Supes back to life in case they do indeed die, but limits the cognitive abilities of the user. Compound V's resurrection also only works if the user has a functioning brain. Heat Vision: Homelander is capable of projecting highly concentrated beams of energy from his eyes. These blasts of energy are so powerful that they appear to be able to cut through anything. However, Homelander is most notable for using his optical beams on people, melting flesh and bone with ease and causing people to burst into gore. His heat vision can also take down an airplane, and cause a small explosion. X-Ray Vision: Homelander's vision allows him to see through any solid object or surface. Superhuman Hearing: Homelander possesses tremendous auditory awareness, allowing him to detect sounds from miles away. He can also use this power to detect a person's heartbeat, and can tell when they are excited or anxious, such as when he detected Billy Butcher's blood pressure to try and determine his motives. Superhuman Smell: Homelander's sense of smell has been heightened far beyond normal human capabilities, allowing him to smell things no other being could. He can use this power to detect an explosive, or to sense adrenaline produced by fear. Homelander's scream ruptures the ears of all passengers Homelander's scream ruptures the ears of all passengers
“ SHUT UP! ―Homelander shouting ” Superhuman Voice: John's vocal cords are 20 times more powerful than the ones of a regular human, he can scream so loud that it rupture the eardrums of anyone around him. Flight: Homelander is able to levitate and propel himself at great speeds, allowing him to cover vast distances in a matter of minutes. He can keep up with airplanes and break the sound barrier. During the "I Tell You No Lie, G.I." storyline, he flew through the tail of a plane and smashed it in half. Billy Butcher says that some Supes can fly to the moon. Abilities “ He's humble, so he doesn't intimidate the men. He's vulnerable, so the women get to add a little romance to their fuck-fantasies. The right like him 'cause he's powerful an' he's ours. The left like him cause he's smart an' he's got a sense of humor, so at last this walkin' goddamn bomb is human... ―Old Legend ” Charisma: As a result of Vought's years of conditioning, Homelander was an extremely charismatic and incredibly charming public figure. In each of his public appearances, Homelander proved to be loved and followed by groups of all genders, ages, and political leanings. Acting: Homelander was trained by Vought to become a highly skilled actor, being capable of using his heroic facade to trick most of the public. When enacting his plans to take over the world, Homelander also acted very docile to prevent suspicion from Vought. Intelligence: Despite his mental illness, Homelander has demonstrated to be very intelligent when the moment arises. He's consistently proven to be the smartest and most aware member of The Seven, correctly suspecting that the Boys returned before anyone, and later planning a coup to attack the White House. He was so cunning that the Boys and James Stillwell were surprised as to why they even had evidence to blackmail him in the first place, something that was later revealed to be the result of Black Noir framing him. Intimidation: Homelander is known to have a very intimidating presence that helps keep the members of The Seven in check. Many of those around him would not try to face him due to him being way to powerful and don't want to be killed. Indomitable Will: Homelander's insanity, or his frame of mind, made him immune to those who try to threaten him. His strength of will is super dark that he sought to destroy anyone who gets in the way of what he wants no matter the cost. Although, his fearlessness has limits as he can be intimidated by James Sitwell, the high-ranking executive of Vought-American. Weaknesses Psychological Lack of Training: He has no formal training in the use of his powers, or in handling dangerous situations. Along with the rest of his team, these inadequacies led to disaster when they attempted to stop a terrorist hijacking of a plane. Mental Illness: Homelander is a mentally unstable man. His obsessive need to be adored coupled with his consummate lack of empathy and lack of moral reservation about harming, even killing others suggests he is afflicted with Malignant Narcissism. After getting tricked by Black Noir that he committed a variety of heinous crimes, such as rape and cannibalism, Homelander became even more insane and mentally unstable. Biological Blunt Force/Limited Durability: Homelander can be wounded and killed by someone who is as strong as or stronger than him, such as in the case of Black Noir. Absence of Fulcrum (Tentative): During the "I Tell You No Lie, G.I." storyline, the events of 9/11 seem to suggest that he is unable to use his full strength in flight, requiring a solid surface to take full advantage of his power.

Trivia Homelander is a parody of Superman and Captain America possessing the power set and fabricated backstory of the former and the patriotic costume of the latter. Ironically, Superman is one of Garth Ennis' favorite superheroes despite his disdain for the genre. Homelander’s suit incorporates prominent jodhpurs on the legs, which were originally designed as padding for horse-riding cavalry. While jodhpurs were common among officers in many European armies up through World War II, they are most heavily associated with the militaries of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Although Homelander is one of the main antagonists of the comic series, he is not killed by his archenemy Billy, but is instead killed by Black Noir. His name literally means "A person from one's homeland". With the comic’s focus on the military-industrial complex, the name is likely a reference to The US Department of Homeland Security, whose formation four years before the comic started was highly controversial due to perceived overreach and incompetence.

I've got to... you know, I've got to try an' get on with everything. ―Wee Hughie to Billy Butcher[src] ” Hugh "Hughie" Campbell, also known as Wee Hughie, is the main protagonist of The Boys. A Scottish conspiracy theorist whose girlfriend, Robin Mawhinney, was accidentally killed by A-Train during a superhero battle, he was recruited by Billy Butcher to join The Boys soon after to manage and take down "supes". He worked alongside Butcher, Mother's Milk, the Frenchman, and the Female (of the Species).
Butcher injected Hughie with Compound V during their first mission, giving Hughie superhero powers but angering him, nonetheless. He received superhuman strength and durability. While part of the team, he entered a romantic relationship with the supe Starlight.
After Butcher killed Black Noir in revenge of his wife, he kills Mother's Milk, Frenchie, and The Female. Hughie confronts Butcher and kills him by stabbing him in the chest.
Sometime later, Hughie reunites with Starlight and the two eventually get married and move to Scotland.

Superhuman Durability: Hughie has been shown to survive punches from supes, sustaining only a bloody nose. Abilities Intelligence: Hughie has been shown to think in such a way that solving mysteries comes naturally to him. When working on a murder case, Billy Butcher and the other Boys assumed the sexual identity of the killer was part of the motive, whereas Hughie was the first to ignore it entirely. This way of thinking likely comes from his knowledge of (and previous belief in) various conspiracy theories. Hughie works well with others and effectively follows orders, making him a great asset to The Boys. Trivia Hughie was based on English actor Simon Pegg, particularly his characters in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. This resulted in Simon writing the introduction to the first Trade Paperback of The Boys. Pegg portrayed Hughie's father, Hugh Campbell, in the Amazon Prime Video adaptation of The Boys. Pegg would later voice the character of Wee Hughie in an episode of the animated anthology series The Boys Presents: Diabolical.

Powers Technology Manipulation: Insaniac is able to bend technology, including androids, to his whim, making it perform certain actions to his command. Trivia Insaniac is a parody of Brainiac.

Invisi-Lass is a minor character of the superhero-drama comic series The Boys. She is a superheroine and the sole female member of Fantastico.
History The superheroine Invisi-Lass was former friends with Queen Maeve and both participated in a drug fueled, all-female orgy with Shehemoth and an unnamed superheroine, but the two seem to have fallen out by the events of The Boys: Herogasm, as Queen Maeve does not speak highly of her to Starlight during the last Supie Awards.
Invisi-Lass is sexually involved with each of her fellow members in the Fantastico team. During an four-way at the latest Herogasm party, A-Train witnessed the event and initially believed it was a ménage à trois between the male members, only to later realize she was also part of the scene. However, Invisi-Lass didn't appear to hold her teammates in exceptionally high regard: at a later point in the same party, she was once again having sex with Reacher Dick and an unnamed member of the team. Their session continued, seemingly unaffected, when The Doofer apparently succumbed to a fatal drug overdose.
Later, Invisi-Lass is invited as an attendee of the Supies, where she was supposed to present an award but was replaced by Starlight due to forgetting her tampon.
In her last chronological appearance in the comics, Invisi-Lass and the other surviving members of Fantastico answered Homelander's call to organize a coup d'etat against the United States. This led to an attack on the White House, but it is unknown if she took part on it or not.
Known powers Invisibility: Invisi-Lass is always seen in a complete state of invisibility, with only her clothes and body fluids visible. It is not known if she can actually shift to a visible state or if she is permanently invisible. Flight: Invisi-Lass is able to fly. Trivia Invisi-Lass is an obvious parody of the Invisible Woman. Unlike her Marvel counterpart, Invisi-Lass is most likely not related to The Unnamed 4th Member of Fantastico due to their sexual involvement with each other.

He was a towering, and comically fat superhero, who has presumably been targeted by The Boys due to his habit of drinking the blood of terminally ill and dying children as a form of treatment for his erectile dysfunction. He was killed in 2007, when the Great Wide Wonder flew through his stomach at a recorded speed of Mach 2 while under the effects of heroin enema that was spiked with an unknown chemical by the Boys.
Powers Organic Metal Skin: His skin was made of metal, which presumably allowed him to survive most conventional weapons. Superhuman Durability: Due to him having metal skin, he has enhanced durability, although it is not powerful enough to protect him from Great Wide Wonder when he flew through his stomach at Mach 2. He is so tough that when Great Wide Wonder killed him, he ended up dying in the process too, even though Wide Wonder could move at mach speeds unharmed. Fire Resistance: During the initiation, he is shown holding a ring on fire without being injured, despite the ring likely being very hot. Superhuman Strength: Due to him having metal skin, Ironcast is exceptionally strong. He displayed enhanced strength when he lifted a giant metal ring without any effort. Weakness Extreme Brute Force: His metal skin was very weak to superhuman momentum as shown when the Great Wide Wonder flew through his stomach at a recorded speed of Mach 2.

He was a deformed and hedonistic member of The Seven. As implied by his codename and appearance, he was marketed to the public as crime fighting alien superhero. While not as violent or corrupt as some of the other Seven members, Jack did, however, willfully turn a blind eye to damage and crimes caused by his teammates.
Contents 1 History 2 Appearance 3 Personality 4 Powers 5 Weaknesses 5.1 Psychological 5.2 Biological 6 Relationships 6.1 Allies 6.2 Enemies 7 Trivia 8 Gallery History Jack was created by Vought-American, from the altered DNA of Stormfront[1], along with the rest of The Seven. Despite his status as a long-time member of the world's most successful super team, his lack of the star appeal and major powers, means he is seen as fairly unimportant to his corporate sponsors (even more so than the Deep) and The Boys (a CIA-backed team charged with keeping superpowered individuals in-line). His teammates likewise see him as unimportant, as they are as self-absorbed as he is. Even the newer recruit A-Train, who Jack took under his wing to some extent, has little attachment to him, and showed little sympathy when Jack met with misfortune.
While investigating the murder of a transgender prostitute, Hughie and Butcher make their way to Dr. Peculiar's office and find records of Jack's depraved sexual behavior. Eventually, footage of Jack's deviant side is leaked to the news, and a panicking Jack grows more and more anxious as he wants Homelander to sort out who is blackmailing him. Basically ignoring Jack, all his teammates express little concern for his troubled state. Jack ends up getting into an argument with The Deep, who backhands him across the room. Bleeding from the attack, Jack activates his invulnerability field and challenges The Deep to a fight. However, Homelander steps in and manages to break the pair up.
The Seven later confront The Boys on a rooftop. Butcher denies sending out the information; Homelander analyzes Butcher and confirms he isn't lying. An enraged Jack panics further at the revelation when Homelander refuses to continue searching for an answer.
Later, Butcher's dog Terror is found dead, and it is assumed by The Boys that Jack killed him. Butcher then tracks Jack to a backroom, shoves him against a wall, holds his throat closed and repeatedly stabs him in the stomach while questioning: "Why'd you kill me dog, Jack?".
Appearance Jack from Jupiter's skin was a tan color, mirroring that of the color of the planet Jupiter. In a similar fashion he also had a red sphere affixed upon his chest to symbolize the Great Red Spot upon that same planet. In addition, he wore a red cape.
He possessed no eyebrows or indeed any other visible body hair, and was later depicted as not having a nose, instead possessing a pair of reptilian-like nostrils.
Personality Jack is like his peers: essentially a vapid celebrity with superpowers, rather than an actual superhero. To the shallow and obnoxious Jack, this arrangement couldn't be better as he has only ever sought a life of decadent hedonism.
Although Jack is one of the more innocuous members of the Seven, he probably shouldn't be regarded as a decent individual, as he is aware of the violent crimes and fatal accidents, they cause but shows no concern about them, even playing them down and treating these incidents like jokes.
Jack seems to have some contempt towards his teammates, he thinks is "unfair" that Homelander, Black Noir and Queen Maeve hoard most of the popularity and profits of the team, and on various occasions comments to A-Train that he feels a little frustration over Queen Maeve's lack of interest in having sex with other members of the team.
Powers Superhuman Strength: While not to the same degree as his teammates, Jack has super strength. He can easily carry A-Train, a man who is almost the same size as Jack himself, a feat that would be rather difficult for an ordinary human. However, he is not as strong as Butcher, since he was unable to free himself when he was being choked by him. Flight: Jack can fly through the air weightlessly. He can move at great speeds and has great control over his speed force, being able to instantly stop moving while in the air. He can also carry other people, such as A-Train, while flying without any issue. “ Carpo--! ―Jack from Jupiter, activating his invulnerability. ” Invulnerable Force Field: By saying the word "Carpo", a red toned force field surrounds his body, granting him an exceptional level of superhuman invulnerability. Butcher claimed he could survive virtually anything while his field was active, including tank blasts. Weaknesses Psychological Lack of Training: He has no formal training in the use of his powers, or in handling dangerous situations. Along with the rest of his team, these inadequacies led to disaster when they attempted to stop a terrorist hijacking of a plane. Biological Time Limit: Jack can't remain in his invulnerable form permanently. After a certain period of time his force field will cease to exist, leaving jack vulnerable. Pain From Transformation: Saying the word, i.e., transitioning from non-invulnerable to invulnerable is painful to him. Jack describes the pain from the transformation as being electrocuted with ten thousand volts up his rear. Speaking: If Jack is somehow prevented from saying his word, he will stay vulnerable. This was confirmed by Jack himself, however he claims that this is not an issue since the word takes a very short amount of time to be said. In truth however, this is actually a very major weakness, since Billy managed to kill Jack by choking him (which prevented him from speaking) while stabbing him multiple times in the stomach until he died. No Superhuman Durability: Jack in his normal form has the exact same durability as an ordinary person. This means that without saying his magic word, Jack can be easily killed. The Deep was able to give him a nosebleed simply just by backhanding him.

Trivia In the comics, Jack from Jupiter is a one of the prime members of the Seven, however in the Amazon show his position is occupied by a different character, Translucent. Just like Jack, Translucent is able to turn his skin (virtually) indestructible, however the key differences being that Translucent can alter his skin at will, whereas Jack must say "Carpo" in order to change. Furthermore, Translucent's skin reflects light, making him virtually invisible, however unlike Translucent, Jack is capable of flight. Is implied in the comics that Jack uses his invulnerability powers in some sort of sexual game, probably so he can be sodomized by transgender prostitutes without feeling any pain. Jack is a mixed parody of the DC superheroes/Justice League members Martian Manhunter (for his invulnerability, and extraterrestrial appearance), Shazam (as his powers activate when he says a special word) and Hourman (due to his invulnerability only lasting for some time) By coincidence, his voice actor, Kevin Michael Richardson voiced the Martian Manhunter in the DC Animated series, Young Justice. In the animated spinoff series, The Boys Presents: Diabolical, Jack pretends to speak in a British accent when he's public such as quoting stereotypical slangs.

What have you thought of to do that the lowest speck of this pointless species couldn't, were they to be granted your level of power? And what next, destroy another airliner? Dismember more families, that kind of thing? A spoiled child's personal Auschwitz. It's so petty it's actually quite embarrassing. ―James Stillwell insulting Homelander for his actions. ” James Stillwell is the overarching antagonist of the comic series The Boys. He is a high-ranking executive in Vought-American and the assistant of Vought's CEO, Mr. Edgar.
Contents 1 Biography 2 Abilities 2.1 Abilities 3 Weaknesses 3.1 Psychological 4 Trivia Biography James Stillwell attended The Seven's meetings and is described to be worse than them for his coldblooded plans to save Vought-American's image. Some of these plans were the G-teams massacre, Pre-Wiz locked in a container and thrown in the ocean, telling Payback to attack the Boys, and involving himself in the takeover of the White House. He became Mr. Edgar's assistant at a young age, which helped his career. Stillwell has had many conflicts with the Homelander. Once the superhero sent him a whore to distract him while the Supie Awards was carried out during Herogasm. He is brilliant at planning and had met Little Nina in Russia to discuss the supes that had exploding heads. His only human moments are when he starts to relax around Jessica Bradley and when he aided the Frenchman.
He's very cold during critical situations even when an insane Homelander expressed the wish to kill him and stated that Stillwell is the real superhuman. James asked the madman to let him commit suicide and avoid all the carnage to come but Homelander told him to keep watching alive.
However, due to his nature as a perfectionist, it would ultimately lead to his downfall, as he is inspecting the new superhero team following the fall of The Seven, he realizes Compound V is an imperfect product (when he notes one of the members having an erection, meaning drug withdrawal) and begins to breakdown, embarrassed by his company's incompetence. He is last seen wandering around a pineapple plantation and quoting Adam Smith, having lost his mind.

For the Amazon version of the character, see Janine Milk.
Janine Wallis is a minor character in the controversial comic book series The Boys. She is Mother's Milk and Monique's young daughter.
History After being raised by M.M. alone due to her mother's drug addiction, Janine becomes rebellious and resentful of her father due to the Compound V passed genetically to her from him and her grandmother resulting in her prematurely aging – although appearing to be a teenager physically, she is actually a child chronologically, showing him great disrespect while regarding Billy Butcher with affection, calling him "Uncle Billy."
Sometime later, having been absent due to helping Butcher with The Boys, M.M. discovers that in an act of rebellion, his ex-wife had convinced the underage Janine to star in a pornographic movie together with her. Before he can leave the Boys to confront his ex-wife over Janine, M.M. then gets a call from his daughter, who tells him that she was not in her right mind, and has run away from her mother, and wants to be left alone until she is well-enough to call him.
However, he tracks her down easily, and she reveals that Butcher murdered the producers and cast of the adult film, including brutally murdering Janine's mother in front of her. His final words, meant both as a warning and as a threat, were for Janine to leave M.M. alone; Janine expresses surprise at M.M.'s ignorance of Butcher's actions, having assumed he had been acting on M.M's orders, and M.M. assures her he will talk to Butcher.
Known powers Accelerated aging: Janine's body ages faster than usual: although she appears to be a 16–17-year-old teenager physically, she is actually 12-years-old chronologically. It is not known if the process will stop when she reaches maturity or if it will cause her to reach the end of her lifespan at a much faster speed than her peers.

Jessica "Jess" Bradley is a supporting antagonist in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys. A female senior officer for the superhero entertainment conglomerate Vought-American and a personal assistant to executive CEO James Stillwell, she is a intelligent career-climber who was often had set aside some of her own morals to get to the position within the company as she has now, but is still deeply troubled (by far more than anyone else at Vought) by the sheer debauchery, incompetence, and sociopathy that has often plagued the "superhero" community for decades.
Contents 1 Biography 2 Personality 3 Trivia 4 Gallery Biography She is first seen attempting to get in with Stillwell. In #40, she was taken on as his confidant and protégé, and he told her that her work had gotten her noticed years ago - he was merely waiting for her to speak to him. Their relationship soon becomes a strong one, with her appearing to develop feelings for him and Stillwell marking her out as vital to VA's future; in #61, she admits she feels safe around him and he admits he can relax around her.
She is more worried about the seedier, more uncontrollable aspects of the superheroes than Stillwell is, and is visibly sickened by the photographs of the Homelander's rampage. She is the first of Vought's executives to express that more concern should be shown for the victims of the superheroes actions, in particular after reviewing Hughie's file. In #48, Bradley was present for Black Noir's disastrous attempt at flying a plane and the murder of his flight instructor; she was left covered in the dead man's blood, and had to struggle to keep calm afterwards, telling herself "he's [Stillwell] strong so you're strong". This led to her pointing out to Stillwell that Black Noir can't ever be taught to fly and it was wasting money to keep trying; he was convinced and cancelled any further training, but it appears Bradley was the first senior VA worker to raise this as an issue.
After the Homelander's coup is crushed, Bradley appears before Congress, and spends a great deal of time with Stillwell. She would subsequently be betrayed by him when, during his appearance before Congress, Stillwell shifts the blame for the disaster from Vought-American onto Bradley. Stillwell had realized long ago that a disaster was looming with its superheroes, and had promoted Bradley to a leadership position specifically so that he could scapegoat her when that happened, portraying her as a rogue element who could be held culpable for all the company's misdeeds. The realization of his complete betrayal causes Bradley to have a breakdown in her hotel room, tearing out her hair while screaming.

History Jetstreak is one of the many people who had been exposed to Compound V as kids and developed superpowers (not shown during the storyline) as a consequence. Still a teenager, he joined the superhero team Teenage Kix.
As a public figure, he appeared as a hero; in his private life, he could not care less about doing something good with his powers. He indulged in all sorts of vices, from drug abuse to massive orgies with his teammates.
Someone had been taken pictures of the Teenage Kix in intimate moments, documenting their illegal and sick perversions, and threatened to make everything public if one of them did not admit in front of the world their “private shame”. Jetstreak managed to keep his vices secret, as Shout Out was voted by everyone to be outed as gay.
A secret informer, then, revealed the identity of the blackmailer to the Teenage Kix: The Boys. Knowing the identity of his attackers, Jetstreak followed his team on the streets to confront the Boys openly. Jetstreak himself had Frenchie as an adversary, and after being surprised by a kick in the groin, was quickly defeated with a series of punches.

John Godolkin is a supporting antagonist in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys.
He was the leader and pedophilic superhero benefactor of the G-Men, marketed to the public by its parent company, Vought-American, as a group of oppressed superpowered orphans and outsiders taken in by Godolkin as well as many of their ever-growing spinoff teams.
Contents 1 Backgorund 1.1 Formation of the First G-Men 1.2 G-Men Massacre of 2007 2 Personality 3 Trivia Backgorund Formation of the First G-Men Little to nothing is known about John Godolkin's past, other than he became the founder and leader of a superhero team called the G-Men, a group he created in 1984 after he somehow managed to acquire Compound V and made a deal with Vought-American. His G-Men were formed largely of children who were kidnapped, brainwashed, and sexually groomed, resulting in them being severely traumatized and dysfunctional. While most of his victims became fiercely loyal, he would have members who threatened the G-Men's existence or even question his authority killed on his orders and later reanimate them as brain-dead zombies, much like Nubia.
G-Men Massacre of 2007 The G-Men were first brought to The Boys’ attention after Silver Kincaid committed suicide in her hometown. Hughie Campbell was sent to investigate, going undercover as a supe interested in joining the G-Men.
While Hughie sets the devices in the restroom, a zombie-like Nubia appeared and scared Hughie. The other members calmed down Hughie, after which Godolkin moves Europo to tell Luckless and PussPuss to see him and orders Devine to take Nubia back to her room. Hughie asks what’s wrong with Nubia, to which he replies that she is his "little girl" and the others are 'his children'.
The Boys were able to put together that Godolkin would abduct children, molesting them and brainwashing them by offering superpowers and hedonistic lifestyles. When Nubia attempted to leave Godolkin had Silver Kincaid kill her; Kincaid later committed suicide while Nubia was resurrected in a nearly mindless state. At the same time, James Stillwell at Vought realized that, despite an earlier agreement, Godolkin was building a new Pre-Wiz out of kidnapped children and orders his death before he can become a liability.
Godolkin eventually discovered that Hughie was a government spy. His G-Men cornered The Boys, expressing their undying loyalty despite the crimes committed against them. Before they could kill The Boys, however, Godolkin and the G-Men were massacred by Red River under orders from Vought-American.
Personality Because of his ruthlessness and disturbing nature, John Godolkin is genuinely regarded as one of the most evil supe supervisors to date; so much so that he even cared less about helping than Homelander did at his worst, thereby lacking any shred of excuse for his monstrous actions.
Trivia John Godolkin is a parody of Marvel's Charles Xavier. Unlike Xavier, however, Godolkin doesn't have superpowers.

Contents 1 History 2 Powers and Abilities 2.1 Powers 2.2 Abilities 3 Gallery 3.1 Photos 4 Trivia History Jonah Vogelbaum is a Jewish scientist that invented Compound V, originally as a super-soldier serum for Nazi Germany. Fearing for his life, Vogelbaum fled to the United States with the formula and a young Stormfront, who was the only surviving test subject. Once in the U.S., Vogelbaum started working for Vought-American. Jonah's family were also supposed to be smuggled to the States but due to issues with paperwork his family died in Nazi concentration camps.
All supes, including the Seven, were created by being exposed to Compound V. Vogelbaum continued working for Vought, until Lt. Colonel Greg Mallory organized his kidnapping. While Mallory was originally just going to kill Vogelbaum, he changed his mind and made him work for the CIA instead. The CIA staged Vogelbaum's suicide, via slitting his wrists, by using the body of a deceased male of similar build and age. Under Mallory's instructions, Vogelbaum created the Compound V shots that all members of the Boys are injected with, while deliberately making it so expensive the CIA couldn't start a super-soldier program of its own. At some point he injected himself with Compound V, either before or during his time working for Mallory, to whom he described old age with V as "pickled".
Mallory eventually tasked Butcher with assassinating the scientist. Unbeknownst to Mallory, Butcher actually spared Vogelbaum and made him work on a way to exterminate everyone that was ever exposed to Compound V. When Vogelbaum finally succeeded in creating a Compound V strain capable of this, Butcher murdered him so he wouldn't be able to undo his work.
Powers and Abilities Powers Longevity: After taking Compound V, Jonah became able to live beyond the average human. Abilities High Intelligence: Jonah is a very intelligent scientist. He was capable of developing Compound V, and later under the custody of the CIA and Butcher, he helped in the creation of missiles that track supes and a super weapon capable of genocide of all individuals who have been injected with Compound V.

He is a superhero and member of Super Duper, a group of low-powered Supes who function more as a support group for the disabled living in a group home.
Contents 1 History 2 Powers 3 Weakness 4 Trivia History Kid Camo is a member of the team Super Duper. Despite his limited presence in the comics, Kid Camo is presented as polite, helpful, and as well-meaning as the rest of his team.
He eagerly accepted Hughie as a friend after he saved the life of The Black Hole by giving him an emergency tracheotomy. Kid Camo seemed confused by Malchemical's crass and vulgar behavior when he was placed in the leadership position by Vought, but seemed to accept Auntie Sis' attempts to shield the young super heroes from Malchemical's behavior. When Hughie stepped in to protect Auntie Sis from Malchemical, he stood by, too terrified to move. After Billy Butcher stepped in and killed Malchemical, he and the rest of Super Duper were left huddled in fear around Auntie Sis.
Powers Shapeshifting: Kid Camo has shown the ability to turn into different things to perfectly blend with the environment, like becoming part of a tree and later creating arms from it to rescue a cat. Weakness Shifting Instability: Unfortunately, he struggles to assume his true form or even keep the one he's currently using, which usually makes him take a liquid shape and remain like that for an extended duration. Trivia Kid Camo has the same powers as Malchemical, but his are far weaker in comparison. Malchemical himself compares their powers, saying that his are "not so goddamn lame".
