The Boys: 5 characters we should see in future seasons
By Mark Lynch
The Legend
This may be the funniest of all the comic book parodies in The Boys.
To some, it may seem blasphemous, because the person they were making fun of was a well-loved man and a celebrity among comic book fans. Allow me to introduce you to The Legend: a guy who was designed as a complete parody of Stan Lee.
The Legend has been around superheroes since the beginning. He’s the one who created the comic books that create the lore that makes the supes popular. Problem is, around 95% of what he wrote is false. For example, their version of Daredevil can see.
It’s doubtful that we’ll ever see The Legend in this series. There are a lot of people who would consider it disrespectful to portray any fictional version of Stan Lee in this light, especially since he’s no longer with us.
However, if they could do this and turn him into a positive character, he could still have the allure of being the one to create the backstory of heroes and give Butcher and Mother’s Milk information from Vought American. He just couldn’t go around getting up to no good like his comic book counterpart. As raunchy as this show is, they still seem to try and be respectful.
