For the Dynamite version of the character, see A-Train/Comics. You know, when I carried your ass to the ER, there was a kid there. His eyes were like "holy shit." Looking at me... like I was a hero. There were no screaming fans, no cameras. Nobody even knew, except for this one kid. That felt better than anything that I had ever done at Vought, 'cause for once, I didn't hate myself. A-Train, to Mother's Milk

Reggie Franklin,[1] better known as A-Train, is a major character and former antagonist in the Amazon series The Boys and a minor character in its spin-off series, Gen V.

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

A-Train was let go from The Seven, but has since been asked to rejoin, and is the current "fastest man in the world". Underneath the cavalier exterior of a celebrity superhero lies the soul of a mortal athlete, with a deep insecurity about staying at the top. He'll do whatever it takes to remain in The Seven, because he knows it's only a matter of time until a younger, faster challenger takes his place — and that's a problem even the fastest man in the world can't outrun.
