Billy Butcher: 10 huge facts you need to know about The Boys’ diabolical leader
By Mark Lynch
Billy Butcher is a menace in The Boys on Amazon Prime Video. However, he’s even worse in the comic books.
The season premiere of The Boys season 3 on Amazon Prime Video was a success. The critics are loving it and fans are once again responding positively to it. This spells good news for the Amazon Prime streaming show, especially after The Boys reportedly topped the Mandalorian and Stranger Things in its season 2 premiere.
It won’t be shocking when The Boys tops more streaming shows this season as well. Just wait until the long-awaited Herogasm adaptation episode.
One of the many reasons this show does well is because of Billy Butcher. Karl Urban has been a ten out of ten playing the leader of the supe stomping team. The character isn’t just an aggressive guy that hates anything with Compound V in their system, he’s starting to become more caring. This was clear when he was with Ryan. Don’t let their last interaction fool you. That was Butcher letting him go without Ryan missing him.
No matter how good Urban is, he’s nothing like his comic book counterpart. Believe it or not, the Billy Butcher in the comic book is more dangerous than Karl Urban’s version. That’s before you get to his super strength. Mother’s Milk said it best when he said that Butcher doesn’t waste anything, not even a smile. A statement that proved 100% true. To show the difference between the two, this writer will give you readers ten Billy Butcher moments that everyone should know.
