The Boys is an American satirical superhero television series created by Eric Kripke for Amazon Prime Video. Based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s comic book of the same name, it follows the eponymous vigilante team as they fight superpowered individuals who misuse their abilities.
The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered people (nicknamed “Supes”) are seen as heroes by the general population and work for a strong business called Vought International, which advertises and monetizes them. Aside from their heroic personalities, most Supes are corrupt and self-serving.
The series is essentially on two groups: the Boys, a squad of vigilantes out to bring down Vought and its corrupt superheroes, and the Seven, Vought’s finest superhero team led by executive Madelyn Stillwell.
The Boys are commanded by the flamboyant but violent Billy Butcher, who despises all superheroes, while the Seven are led by the arrogant and unstable Homelander. At the beginning of the series, the Boys are joined by Hughie Campbell, whose lover is murdered in a bizarre accident involving a member of the Seven, and the Seven are joined by Annie “Starlight” January, a young and hopeful heroine forced to confront the reality about people she admires.
The Seven also includes the disillusioned Queen Maeve, drug-addicted A-Train, insecure Deep, secretive Black Noir, and white nationalist Stormfront. The Boys are joined by tactical strategist Mother’s Milk (M.M.), silent animalistic supe Kimiko, and weapons specialist Frenchie.
