The Deep The Boys comics differences

Actor: Chance Crawford

This is the biggest change from The Boys comic. The Deep was barely in the comic book. If he said more than a hundred words in 72 issues, this writer would be shocked. He was a member of the premier superhero team and he did nothing important.

Now, The Deep in the show was deplorable and a joke. He’s still trying to get back on The Seven despite proving to be a screw-up. If The Deep was anything like he was in the comics, he’d be forgettable. Otherwise, he’d be forgettable. We didn’t know what his powers were and his costume was ridiculous. Thankfully, they gave him a personality and a better outfit.

Victoria Neuman The Boys comics differences

Actor: Claudia Doumit

Victor Neuman was Vic the Veep in the comics. He was an idiot and a joke on an epic scale. The things he said and did during Herogasm are examples of this. More than anything, he was a puppet that Vought America used for their own purposes.

This character received a major upgrade on the Amazon Prime show. Victoria Neuman was the one making heads explode during the show. No one saw it coming. She played everyone and it helped her political career. She’s going to be a big part of season 3, but don’t be shocked when she’s killed by Homelander in the upcoming season or the next.
