Soldier Boy is the name of three superherocharacters in the comic book series Herogasmand The Boys, created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The first character introduced (but the third Soldier Boy in the timeline, with his two predecessors having died) is the elected leader of the Vought-American-sponsored superhero team Payback. He is depicted as one of the only "Supes" (i.e. "superpowered" or "superhuman" individuals, often acting as "superheroes") with selfless, benevolent motivations, who detests the use of profanity. However, Soldier Boy annually has sex with Homelander alone at the "Herogasm" orgy, under the mistaken hope that the "test" of doing so will convince Homelander to let him join his own superhero team, the Seven. After his most recent dalliance with Homelander, Soldier Boy is captured by CIAblack ops agent Billy Butcher and brutally tortured and murdered by him for information on Homelander's recent activities. The original Soldier Boy is later revealed to have been mercy killed by Mallory during his first mission at the Battle of the Bulge, after his "Avenging Squad"[broken anchor] inadvertently caused Mallory's men to be massacred, and been replaced by the second for the remainder of the war.

Soldier boys backstory; The official backstory of Soldier Boy by Vought was that he was born poor and learned the values of hard work, tenacity and bravery while growing up on the streets. In reality, Benjamin was born into a wealthy home under his father, a prominent industrial magnate who owned half the steel mills in the state. He lived during the 1940s and fought in world war 2. Those who survived 1984's Nicaragua incident believe Soldier Boy was killed by Russian soldiers and his corpse taken away for probing. The truth is that Soldier Boy was handed over to the Russians by Payback teammate and girlfriend, Crimson Countess, then taken away alive for decades of excruciating experimentation. He was tested on heavily at the facility to see the extent of his powers, it remained that way until 2019 when he was released by The Boys (Butcher, M.M/ mommas milk, Hughie, frenchie, and kimoko [who is also a supe]) The boys teamed up with soldier boy to help kill Homelander (Homelander is also Soldier boys son, yet soldier boy does not like Homelander). Soldier boy was reported to be dead from a nuclear explosion but it was actually a cover up to him being shipped off to the Germans. He is still presumed dead to this day.
