6 The Boys Comics Characters Who Weren’t in Amazon’s TV Series
Such a loss!
Every die-hard fan of The Boys is now probably waiting for Thursday to come sooner, as the final episode of Season 4 is just around the corner to arrive on Prime Video.
However, if you’re not a comics lover, you may have missed that a great number of the original characters were not shown in the series or even not mentioned there.
Here are 6 The Boys characters who haven’t appeared in the show so far.
1. Oh Father
First comes quite a double-sided persona who is both a corrupt preacher and a superhero. In the comics Homelander meets Oh Father hoping to team up with him, only to realize that the so-called man of God sexually abuses his young sidekicks.
2. Critter
The show lacks, probably, the most problematic of the Supes, the straight-forward Critter, who scored only a short mention in Season 3. In fact, he is a bright character who is brave both fighting in the battlefield and contradicting his team in the back.
3. Five-Oh
Another minor antagonist from the comics is Five-Oh, a cynical member of the comics’ ‘outcast’ team named G-men who doesn’t pay attention to other people’s opinions. The motorcycle-helmet-wearing superhero with laser vision is really charismatic, though.
4. Mister Marathon
It was this very Supe who was the fastest one in The Seven before A-Train replaced him and who was killed during 9/11 because of Homelander’s failed attempt to stop the plane. In the show he’s actually quickly mentioned by Ashley Barrett in Season 2.
5. Jack From Jupiter
Being a deformed and hedonistic member of The Seven, Jack is a crime-fighting alien superhero with a secret ability of making his skin impenetrable. He isn’t as violent as some other members of the team, but prefers to turn a blind eye to their exploits.
6. Whack Job
Finally, we have an eccentric member of the amateur superhero team named Teenage Kix that was sponsored by Vought International. Whack Job is a punk with a Mohawk on the top of his head and the ability to conjure electricity and to recklessly play with it.
