The Boys: 5 characters we should see in future seasons
By Mark Lynch
Teenage Kix
When Garth Ennis was writing The Boys comic, he must have had a great time creating different versions of well-known comic book characters. This time, it was at the expense of the Teen Titans.
Teenage Kix were the first superheroes we ever saw The Boys fight. Well, “fight” is a word I use loosely – they beat these wannabe heroes down bad. Hughie was having a little trouble fighting Blarney Cock (I didn’t name him) until he accidentally punched a hole in his torso and killed him. Hughie’s first real fight and he kills a supe; a first of many eye opening experiences.
This would be a great team to use, as it would be a perfect example of what the superheroes are really like.
Not all of them are on the level of The Seven. Teenage Kix were terrible. They were caught stealing medicine from a hospital while they were visiting sick kids. Since this was Hughie’s first supe job, we got a glimpse at what the supes were really up to. However, since Hughie already knows what’s really going on in the world, the writers would have to change a few things up – good thing they’re amazing at what they do.
