Soldier Boy


Soldier Boy is the name of three superhero characters in the comic book series Herogasm and The Boys, created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The first character introduced (the second successor to the mantle, made by Vought along with his predecessor to claim to be the same Soldier Boy who fought and died in World War II, kept in suspended animation until being revived in modern times) is the elected leader of the Vought-sponsored superhero team Payback, depicted as one of the only "Supes" with selfless, benevolent motivations, who detests use of profanity, and annually has sex with Homelander alone at the "Herogasm" orgy instead of participating, 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 CIA black 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mission at the Battle of the Bulge, after his "Avenging Squad" inadvertently caused Mallory's men to be massacred, and been replaced by the second for the remainder of the war.
