A scathing satire on superhero culture, The Boys blasted onto Amazon with confidence and vigor. Based on the comic of the same name, the show displayed a side of superheroes that no one had seen before. The superheroes are the antagonists of the show.
The Seven is owned by Vought, a privatized company that monetizes the superhero industry. If that wasn't evil enough, The Seven's members are self-centered, cruel, and self-loathing. From communicating with characters under the sea to super strength, the members of The Seven all have their talents. But their interpersonal relationships are the most surprising.
10 Homelander Cares
Sociopathic, insecure, and would turn on a dime, Homelander wasn't the picture of levelheadedness. At first glance, the leader of The Seven was your run of the mill insane. He had no concern for the sanctity of human life and would kill without warning.
He didn't have a point of no return. Nothing was off the table. But he did care. Not in the way that normal humans are able to. His concern was heightened as a god's would be. He cared about his fellow superheroes, though only as a professional courtesy. He cared enough to convince Maeve not to die in a fiery plane crash with the civilians she wanted to save.
9 Women Support Each Other
With only two women on The Seven, Maeve and Starlight have to support each other. Though not in a way that is evident, Maeve cared. She had to suppress her morality through the years of Homelander’s abuse, but a part of her still remained.
When Starlight joined the team, Maeve saw herself. Someone who was original and would do the right thing when the rest of the team had forgotten how to. Maeve seemed hard on the outside, but everything she did was to protect Starlight. When she saw her crying in the bathroom, Maeve said “never let them see you like this.” It wasn’t meant to be cruel. It was to protect her. In all the ways Maeve had not been protected.
8 The Seven Is Not A Team
The Seven were the biggest team in American superherodom. They never exhibited any tendencies of a team. From the first episode, they were introduced one by one and some were rarely seen together. The team only cared about Translucent’s disappearance when it became clear it would be a public disaster.
A-Train was always on his own and The Deep was bitter about his water-adjacent crime itinerary. Every team member was out for themselves. Starlight was the only true team player.
7 No One Cares About A-Train
The tragedy of A-Train was his self-perpetuating prophecy. His first time on screen was during the murder of an innocent bystander. This one action leads him into a downward spiral leading to being responsible for the death of his own girlfriend, Popclaw. Popclaw was the only one who truly cared about him. All she wanted was to be seen in public with him.
The Seven never cared about him. A-Train was only seen with the rest of the team when Homelander found out his connection to Hughie. A-Train’s status wavered and plummeted. The Seven didn't need him when he wasn't around and forgot him unless he was in trouble.
6 The Deep Is Afraid Of Everyone
Like any abuser, The Deep took advantage of Starlight because she was vulnerable. New to the team, he convinced her of his importance and that she owed it to him and the rest of the team to perform. This came from a place of fear.
The Deep was afraid of everything. Homelander was the obvious choice, but The Deep would only ever be happy with his marine life. It was easy for Homelander to scare him. But The Deep’s real fear was of his irrelevance. He hurt those on his team to make himself feel better.
5 They All Think They're Right
After being gods for so long, The Seven forgot what it was like to be mortal. Despite their faults, nothing they do could touch them. A-Train was able to murder an innocent woman without repercussions. The Deep assaulted his coworker on their first meeting. The Deep didn't see any wrongdoing in this.
Not only was The Seven's sense of morality obliterated, but this was just the status quo. They had carte blanche and since they all had powers, there was nothing that they could do that would hurt each other.
4 They're All Afraid Of Homelander
If there was a time when Homelander was human, none of The Seven were there to see it. He was the first of his kind, according to canon. Raised in a lab, Homelander never had a chance to be human. He was stripped of conscience from the time he was a child and that carried over to adulthood.
Even Madelyn, the most powerful person at Vought, feared someone who claimed to care about her. That was the effect that Homelander had on everyone. When A-Train was brought into The Seven’s board room, he knew he was in trouble. Homelander cared for no one, and the entirety of The Seven knew it.
3 Everyone Loves Black Noir
How could you not love Black Noir? Black Noir stayed out of everyone’s way and stuck to the job that they were given. They are so beloved that even Homelander had nothing bad to say about their work. Black Noir was always on task and could do no wrong.
When Starlight joined the team, even she was star struck by the faceless mute. As a piano playing aficionado, it seemed that there was not a lot that Black Noir could not do.
2 They're All In Denial
The Seven would only work if every single member was in denial. Each member had to be dissociated from the other. The Seven allowed A-Train to literally get away with murder. The Deep was allowed to attack or save whatever water life he deemed fit.
Maeve allowed Homelander to let the civilians on the plan die because there was no other option. There was no option but to buy into selling out.
1 Homelander Is The Most Insecure Of All
Raised for only one thing, Homelander would never be satisfied with his lot in life. He was constantly paranoid that everyone was against him and wasn’t given enough creative license. He understood that his position made no one worthy to be in his presence.
He needed Madelyn’s validation, but he was not beholden to it. His only weakness was Madelyn and killing her was his way to liberation
