With its sophomore season drawing to a 'mind-blowing' finale, The Boys has cemented its reputation as one of the freshest comic book shows on streaming. The Amazon Prime series is based on the graphic novels of the same name by Garth Ennis. It serves as a dark satire on the superhero genre, detailing the dangerous possibilities of living in a world where superheroes are blinded with their powers. While most of the extremely popular and influential heroes like Homelander and Stormfront display the classic tropes of villains, the comic book series still has the potential for several new supervillains to be introduced.
As the Season 2 finale showed viewers, the possibilities for unexpected villains to prop up are endless.
Big Game
Big Game is a minor antagonist that can show up as a henchman or a supporting character in the future seasons of The Boys. Intended to be a parody of the DC character Nightwing, Big Game serves as the leader of Teenage Kix, a team of corrupt superheroes. He has the powers of flight and super-strength and mostly engages in vandalism, assault, and property damage.
The character's most recognizable moment is when he threatens Billy Butcher only to get headbutted by him. Butcher's attack leaves his nose and teeth broken. To put it in a nutshell, Big Game is one of the many villains from the comics that provide good-enough comic relief.
Whack Job
Sporting his signature mohawk, Whack Job possesses the power of electrokinesis. However, rather than engaging in any major villainous acts, he often steals painkillers from children's' hospitals. This act of stealing and the pills themselves give him a unique and bizarre 'high'.
Just like Big Game, Whack Job too is a part of Teenage Kix. But he left his affiliation with the team and his pill addiction after fellow member Blarney Cock died in an encounter with The Boys. He has fallen into depression ever since.
Tek Knight
Reminiscent of other parodies of popular comic-book heroes, Tek Knight is a parody of both DC's Batman and Marvel's Iron Man. This is because he's the only hero serving Vought who doesn't have any real superpowers. Tek Knight is a wealthy heir of a company who uses his money to build himself a high-powered suit. He also was one of the founding members of the organization Payback (that can be seen as a minor version of the Seven).
However, his downfall was caused by his extreme sexual desires and anger issues. Even though he has been mentioned in passing in Season 1, Tek Knight hasn't appeared in the series as a proper character yet.
Mister Marathon
Parodying The Flash, Mister Marathon is a speedster who also serves as one of the founding members of the Seven. Marathon is killed during 9/11 after Homelander crashes a plane (a major scene that's reinterpreted in the first season of the show).
Meanwhile, in the series, he's mentioned as a member who had to quit the Seven for simply being too slow. A-Train replaced him ever since, a speedster who has had his own issues with physical health over the course of the show. Here's hoping that Mister Marathon makes a comeback just like ex-Seven members like Lamplighter.
Gunpowder
Another member of Teenage Kix, Gunpowder is a parody of Judge Dredd, as is obvious from his helmet. As his name suggests, Gunpowder bears a lot of skills when it comes to weapon-mastery and marksmanship with any gun.
He might have a role in Season 3 if Teenage Kix is introduced at some point. He has had a brief role in an episode when Cherie is watching a TV interview of his. Gunpowder talks about how he botched a bank robbery and how people would be safe if they all possessed guns. This mentality of his is similar to the other reckless members of Teenage Kix who are hardly bothered with the collateral damage they cause.
Jack From Jupiter
Jack from Jupiter is a member of the Seven who often engages in acts of decadent hedonism. Self-obsessed and shallow like his peers, he's often seen as an unimportant member even if he possesses powers like heat vision, flight, and durability.
In the penultimate episode of Season 2, he's referenced in a pornographic film but never appears otherwise. Now, that there's one seat vacant in the Seven, Jack From Jupiter might get introduced in the new season. In the comics, his physical appearance is similar to that of DC's Martian Manhunter even if his personality is vastly different.
Ground Hawk
A member of John Godolkin's G-Men, Ground Hawk parodies Wolverine in terms of his physique, posture, and feral senses. Instead of Wolverine's claws, Ground Hawk has hammers for his hands that he uses to smash his enemies to a pulp. His feral sense almost turns him into a cannibal, and he often eats his victims. He can hardly speak, and his language mostly consists of monosyllabic replies.
His anomalies are probably a result of the doses of Compound V that he was forced to undertake under his mentor and caretaker Godolkin.
John Godolkin
Some readers consider John Godolkin to be more evil and brutal than even Homelander. An evil parody of Charles Xavier from X-Men, Godolkin leads a team of young children (some of whom have superpowers) called the G-Men. However, Godolkin's dark secret is that he's a serial pedophile, abducting and physically abusing kids in his G-Men mansion.
In the end, Godolkin endangers his life when he becomes a business threat for Vought's James Stillwell (the comic version of Madelyn Stillwell). With Stillwell dead in the show, it would be interesting to see Godolkin's clash with The Boys and Vought's top executive Mr. Edgar.
Soldier Boy
Soldier Boy is quite an important adversary to The Boys as he led the Vought-created team called Payback. Comic-book fans would know that Payback is the same team of which Stormfront was a member. He is a powerful Supe with abilities like super speed, superhuman strength, and expertise in hand-to-hand combat and shield weaponry.
Disgruntled with Stormfront's overbearing presence in Payback, he harbors bigger plans of joining the Seven. In fact, the villain is rumored to be introduced in Season 3. With Stormfront gone and the Deep not getting a spot in the Seven, Soldier Boy might just make the cut.
Blarney Cock
Blarney Cock is an Irish racist, a member of Teenage Kix who usually indulges in stealing painkillers with his best friend Whack Job. Cock has quite a gruesome story that would suit the show's darkly funny tones. After The Boys engage with his team in a violent encounter, Hughie kills him in self-defense (a funny moment considering that Hughie is the least violent of The Boys).
Hughie then finds a hamster living in Blarney Cock's anus! He adopts the hamster and moves on in life until a resurrected zombie version of Blarney Cock returns to get the hamster. This time, The Boys kill him again and burn his body to ensure no more resurrections. An added bonus to complicate his story is the fact that he is Legend and Queen Maeve's son!
