The Boys: 5 characters we should see in future seasons
By Mark Lynch
The Boys hasn’t scratched the surface with the characters they can use.
The Boys had a lot working against it. The comic book series was vulgar and bloody, it wasn’t well-known by the general public, and it wasn’t like anything we’ve seen from a comic book made for TV. Despite all of that, it was a hit, as it received a 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and has 91% on IMDB., with fans also raving about it on Twitter.
The creators of the show were already in the process of starting season 2 before the show’s premiere weekend even came to an end. If you loved the show, this is undoubtedly fantastic news, as it means that we could be getting another season sooner than we hoped – which is even better considering that cliffhanger.
The Boys has an incredibly colorful cast of characters. Though we’ve seen some of them already, Butcher, The Deep, Starlight, and The Female are only the beginning. There is a plethora of characters like The G-Men (guess who they’re a spoof of), and a guy who’s supposed to be Captain America named Soldier Boy – think Cap if Steve Rogers had no courage.
Going forward, we’re going to be introduced to a lot of characters from the comic, and some of them will have a major effect on the story. Here are five that would be great to see.
