Though Homelander has increasingly tested loyalty to his cause, it's mostly been by having other supes engage in violence. The show has already been down that route more than once already. To that end, it's doubtful that Amazon's The Boys will feature the sexual encounter between Homelander and Soldier Boy. However, the latter has often shown somewhat more restraint than the source material. As such, he will embody a wholly different kind of character and The Boys could mine some true horror and dark comedy from a simple, ignorant, and eager-to-please individual having superpowers.īoth The Boys comics and the show have demonstrated a tendency to push boundaries. Kripke already confirmed on Twitter that Ackles will be like nothing fans have seen from him before. As well as being potentially more earnest than the cynical Dean Winchester, Soldier Boy will no doubt be far less naturally capable than his celebrity persona suggests. The Boys, however, will give him an opportunity to show fresh elements of his range. As Supernatural illustrates, Ackles can be equal parts funny and sympathetic in his sleep. Whether he will be the newest member of The Seven or someone merely eager to join, the character's naivety and ignorance will likely be played for both laughs and an empathic response. Soldier Boy will likely be given a similar room to grow. Several characters, including The Deep, have been afforded sympathetic moments. The 'pathos' will no doubt come from the show rounding out even the more villainous characters from the comics. Soldier Boy's cowardice could also be a great source of comedy - especially if it manifests in a similar fashion to Supernatural's classic 'Yellow Fever' episode. established in The Boys seasons 1 and 2, but the latter would allow for the aforementioned humor, and some truly inspired Captain America mockery. The former would be in keeping with Vought's deceitful M.O.

After the original Soldier Boy's death, the title and patriotic attire were passed on to others across the decades. Coming across a mortally wounded Soldier Boy, Mallory finished him off personally with the help of a grenade. What followed was a massacre from which only he and The Boys' eventual founder, Greg Mallory, survived. After Soldier Boy tasked scouts without authorization, their camp was discovered by German forces.

During the war, Soldier Boy headed up a group called The Avenging Squad, which parodied several of Captain America's affiliated teams. He was also blessed with a shield, albeit one of a slightly different shape. Despite that, he was given an extremely similar costume, right down to the white star emblazoned around the chest area. And like the future incarnations of Soldier Boy who would follow suit, the original also lacked Captain America's heart. Like Steve Rogers, the original Soldier Boy was enhanced by a serum (Compound V in his case) during World War II. They actually wrapped her up and put her in a box so I wouldn’t have to see her when I got home, which is nice.Soldier Boy is a clear riff on Marvel's leading Avenger, Captain America. ‘The smoke had obviously got to her by then. ‘She was found downstairs, so she must have found her way down there at some point.

He said: ‘The police actually rang me and said, “Look, we’ve found her. Mr Slater spent five hours in hospital being treated for smoke inhalation, and it was there that police broke the sad news that Weller never made it out. Then I got put in the ambulance, and I was just worried about her.’ ‘I can’t remember doing this, but apparently I tried to get back in, but they obviously stopped me. He said: ‘I was telling the police, telling the fire brigade, “My cat’s in there! Get my cat!” The fire brigade arrived just in time, and after kicking down the door, they brought Mr Slater to safety using their breathing equipment.īut when he got outside, he noticed Weller was missing. Although he made it out, Weller sadly died in the blaze (Picture: Matthew Slater/SWNS)
