Ostensibly assembled to help prevent / avenge the immoral and illegal actions of the largely out of control "supe" community, they also seek to ensure that Vought lacks the stability or the platform to push for use of superhumans in national defense.

The Frenchman appears to be quite shy and caring until someone provokes him, to which he will attack or even kill in a gruesome manner, for example, battering three American businessmen in a coffee shop for calling him a "Goddamn surrender monkey" and a "fucking cheese-eater."

Months later, at a local festival that featured the sport of jousting on bicycles with baguettes while screaming exaggerated Maurice Chevalier impression laughter, his father challenged Pierre to restore the family's honor.

She is in the habit of "explosively eviscerating" her victims and it is implied in issue #3 that she may be triggered to do so merely by someone touching her, possibly as a result of past trauma (even Vas, one of the more powerful Soviet supers, made the mistake and lost two fingers).

Issue #38 shows that, as an infant, she found her way into a pail of discarded Compound V waste, slaughtering scientists in the building, and eventually getting captured, only to escape years later, when Butcher and the original team of Boys rescue her and Frenchie adopts her.

The Female also seems to be very fond of animals, as she freed Jamie the hamster out of his wrapping after he emerged from the Blarney Cock's anus and would subsequently take care of him during Hughie's hiatus from the team (resulting in him becoming morbidly obese), ostensibly as a deterrent to being subjected to the same treatment again.

She smiles when enjoying her favorite candy; she chooses to restrain her murderous urges rather than hurt the Frenchman; and she speaks for the first time in Issue #66, due to her amusement over Hughie stealing Doc Peculiar's file on Queen Maeve for the purpose of masturbating to the photos contained inside.

An elderly man in his nineties (Compound V has slowed his aging), Greg D. Mallory was an Ivy League graduate and a captain in World War II when his platoon was chosen as the test run for "supes" in combat.

In addition, he claims to have been previously involved with several celebrities including but not limited to Big Chief Apache, Army Archerd, Phoebe Cates, Carrie Fisher, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Hopper, Anjelica Huston, Grace Jones, Lee Marvin, Steve McQueen, Burt Reynolds, and Roy Scheider, while having flings with Jacqueline Bisset, Marlon Brando, Kelly LeBrock, and Shannon Tweed.

A-Train is a careless, juvenile, and crude speedster, drug addict, and former member of Teenage Kix who was chosen to replace Mister Marathon, displays the most animosity towards Starlight, and accidentally killed Wee Hughie's girlfriend Robin.

When she can no longer keep her peace and discloses the incident on live television, Vought forces him to publicly apologize for the sexual misconduct they covered up for him over the years and reassign him to Sandusky, Ohio, where he is raped by a fangirl via his gills.

The following year, Church of the Collective members Eagle the Archer and Carol manipulate him into taking a hallucinogenic substance which causes him to believe that his gills (voiced by Patton Oswalt) are confronting him about the root of his sexual malfeasance - his abilities and the death of a dolphin he had been romantically involved with.

He has greatly enhanced physical endurance, having survived being struck by the wing of a plane in mid-flight, although the collision's force did cave in his ribs and nearly punctured his lungs; after the incident, he required multiple medications to relieve the pain.

Justine Garcia is a student at Godolkin University's Crimson Countess School for the Performing Arts and Supe influencer with enhanced durability and a healing factor, portrayed by Maia Jae Bastidas.

#51 reveals that America is, officially, assisting the Pakistani government – and secretly "pay[ing] them to let us invade", both with money and by deliberately removing "undesirables" (claiming they're enemy combatants) and taking them to a prison camp in Anchorage, Alaska.

In #62, following the death of Dakota Bob, Rayner finds herself frozen out of the new government by Vic's Vought-American "attack bitch": the CIA is de facto neutralized, and she's informed that she'll likely lose her job.

In the third season, she establishes the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs and works closely with Hughie Campbell to control opposition and minimize damage to Vought by allowing the arrests of lower-tier Supes for comparatively minor offenses.

Jack from Jupiter considers the Guy From Vought to be worse than the Seven, and has said he used to have nightmares about the sort of things the executive might have had done; Homelander has shown signs of wanting to kill him, but always stops himself and seemed genuinely scared of him (or the true power he wields) in Herogasm #5.

Two characters based on Jess Bradley appear in the live-action television series adaptation: Jonah Vogelbaum is a Jewish scientist at Vought-American who was responsible for creating Compound V for the Nazis until he took it and his only-living test subject Stormfront to the United States.

Three characters based on Jonah Vogelbaum appear in the live-action television series adaptation: In the universe of The Boys, superheroes, also known as "Supes", get their powers from the drug Compound V, which was first created by Nazi scientists in the 1930s and which has since entered the gene pool due to defense contractor Vought-American's (VA) complacency on numerous occasions.

The vast majority of supes in the series are portrayed as narcissistic, hedonistic, and psychopathic, committing numerous crimes against civilians and each other due in part to their upbringings and mental illnesses as well as out of a belief that their social privilege allows them to do whatever they want without consequences.

Crimson Countess is a member of Payback who possesses heat-related powers, is involved with teammate Mind Droid, and hinted at having an affair with team leader Stormfront before she is killed by Butcher for attacking his dog Terror.

This version can produce fireballs, which are activated by holding her fingers together, pretended to be romantically involved with Payback's leader Soldier Boy for media purposes despite hating him, and owns a chimpanzee sanctuary called Chimp County.

However, John Godolkin's disturbing obsession with kidnapping more potential new members and endlessly expanding the G-Men franchise (despite how impossible it was to continue such a criminal operation without getting exposed to the public) as well as reanimating his "children" into soulless zombies eventually leads to Vought becoming more concerned with his perversions and mental instability, which causes them to terminate the entire group.

[citation needed] Five-Oh is a stoic, curt, and fiercely loyal Supe and an apparent leading member of the G-Men who wears a uniform and helmet reminiscent of a motorcycle cop and goggles that leak "energy beams".

This version was directly killed by A-Train, who unknowingly ran through her while on Compound V. Rebecca Joanne "Becky" Saunders is Butcher's deceased wife and a social worker in 1980s London who was capable of convincing him to control his violent urges.

Vasili "Vas" Vorishikin / The Love Sausage is an altruistic Russian communist; ex-police officer, tank commander, and superhero; and current owner of a bar in Moscow with a foot-long, super-strong, and durable penis.

Introduced in the episode "The Bloody Doors Off", this version is a test subject of Compound V held at Vought's Sage Grove psychiatric hospital who gained a prehensile penis that can stretch to incredible lengths.

Following the hospital's rebranding as a wellness center in the web series Seven on 7 with Cameron Coleman, Love Sausage returns in the third-season episode "Herogasm" as a participant in the titular event, during which he survives Soldier Boy's inadvertent attack, though his penis is burnt.

Though Homelander promises his son more freedoms, wary of his own upraising in a lab by scientists who aimed to control him, Ryan begins to use them to publicly stand up to his father, denouncing the Avenue V Christmas Special and its propaganda message during its live broadcast.
