Five comic characters who could appear in 'The Boys' season 4

We’ve reluctantly accepted the concept of superheroes inflicting heinous brutality on individuals they’re supposed to — and usually do — rescue from disasters. That is, owing to the well recognized, mega-hit series The Boys, which has meticulously satirized the stereotyped image of superheroes as saviors by portraying them as cruel, power-hungry monsters prepared to go to unthinkable lengths to get their way. The comics include much more gruesome scenes that are tough for the faint of heart to bear.

Throughout the three seasons, we’ve met new superheroes whose abilities and look are inspired by DC and Marvel superheroes. Stormfront (Aya Cash), who is based on Thor and Captain Marvel, and Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), whose destructive qualities are moulded by Captain America’s exceptional patriotism, are examples of this. These characters were also prominent in The Boys comics.

Each of the supes brings their own personalities and opinions to the program, enticing viewers and keeping them coming back for more. Let’s hope season 4 follows suit and includes fresh characters from the comics. Well, conjecture about the program and its themes abounds, and based on them, there are six comic characters that may feature in Season 4 of the series.

The Tek Knight

It has already been speculated and suggested that Tek Knight may be a noteworthy arrival in the series’ next season, steering the drama in a new path filled with mysteries, thrills, and surprises.

The character did not appear in the first two seasons of the program, although he was referenced in connection with his act of breaking a woman’s spine in an effort to save her. He did not have a prominent position in comics, although he was cited as a pioneer of Paycheck.

Tek Knight, unlike his peers, was never injected with Compound V, hence he lacks the superhuman talents that his peers have and utilize to their advantage. He wields power only via the use of devices and armor.

Because he lacks magical abilities, his heroic nature is directed and formed by resolve and courage. It is assumed that Tek Knight is modeled on the DC comic superhero Batman, and that he would replace Soldier Boy as a multifaceted character with numerous subtleties to concentrate on in the much-anticipated season four.

Jupiter’s Jack

Jack from Jupiter is another character who hopes to appear in the series’ future season. In the original comic book series, he is a member of the Seven, but a comparatively weaker one, which causes him to frequently incur Vought’s displeasure and finally be forced out by Translucent.

He is rarely depicted as having committed any horrific actions, except for the occasion he murdered Butcher’s dog Terror, earning the latter’s fury and his proclivity for vengeance. In episode seven of the second season, Hughie and Lamplighter were viewing some adult-themed supe videos when a spoof of Jack from Jupiter was shown. It’s unclear what role Jack from Jupiter would play, but it’d be amusing to see a missing member of the evil Seven up to anything horrific or naughty.

Goldolkin, John

More screen time for Queen Maeve

Another villain that might appear in the upcoming season is John Goldolkin, one of the most heinous villains in The Boys comics. He is a pedophile who would kidnap and sexually assault children from their families.

In the comics, he is said to have adopted Supe children as well as other juvenile superheroes to form the G-Men. These youngsters are being imprisoned against their will and subjected to physical and sexual torment.

This would undoubtedly be a useful addition to the enormous cadre of supes that we have been exposed to for a variety of reasons. The first is the debut of the infant supes, whose importance was not fully explored in season three, and the second is his involvement in the show’s forthcoming spin-off series, Gen V, in which G-Men will be stressed in depth.

The series’ stomach-churning brutality is definitely not new to the viewers, who have seen it all before. A emphasis on pedophilia, in this instance through Goldolkin’s entrance, would heighten the show’s depravity. That, in addition to being horrifying, will undoubtedly be captivating.

The Nubian Prince

Nubian Prince is another figure that might debut in season four. He originally debuted in the series’ first season. Little is known about him other than the fact that he is from Detroit and was subsequently relocated to Baltimore to handle the city’s rising murder rate.

His talents have been mentioned briefly, but they include superhuman strength and speed, as well as the ability to float. Madelyn dismissed him as ineffective and “not too militant” on the broadcast. Now that she’s gone, there’s a chance he’ll show up in season 4.

It is unclear what role he would serve, or if it would be significant enough. There is a chance (though this hasn’t been stated or hinted at) that he may be a candidate for Seven or a member.

Since Homelander is in charge of everything and is hell-bent on using physical strength as a main factor for recruiting subordinates (after all, he disfigured Blindspot and dubbed him a handicap), Nubian Prince could just make it to the top.

This might be considered an essential and intriguing addition to the show. Butcher referred to Kessler as a monkey after he was assaulted by two monkeys (what a Butcher thing to say), and he would most likely act as an informant in lieu of or alongside Grace Mallory.

If the series stays faithful to the comic book, we may get to witness an extreme side of the brothers that will undoubtedly be scary to viewers. In this aspect, his feud with Billy Butcher speaks volumes. Manipulation of him to get further information about Congress might be a possibility, particularly now that Vitoria Newman has been identified as the head-popper.

Season 4 of Prime Video’s The Boys has already begun production, and the group is already teasing spectators with all of the surprises in store. Specifically, actress Erin Moriarty, who teased something unusual on social media.

Moriarty remarked in an Instagram story, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Attached was a photo showing herself and co-stars Jack Quaid, Karen Fukuhara, Tomer Capone, and Laz Alonso gazing out of a vault-like area, similar to the one they were in during Season 3.

Vernon Sanders, Amazon Studios’ head of global television, previously teased the escalation of The Boys, saying before Season 3’s release, “We knew from our first conversation with Eric Kripke and the creative team about Season Three of The Boys that the show was going to get even bolder – an impressive feat given the show’s Emmy-nominated second season… The Boys keeps pushing narrative limits while simultaneously being compulsively entertaining and threading the line on social satire that seems all too true.”

Season 4 was announced before of Season 3’s broadcast, with actor Karl Urban announcing in March, “I’m filming The Boys until the end of the year.” This followed previous claims, dating back to 2021, that Prime Video had approved a fourth season.

In Season 3, Billy Butcher and Hughie used a temporary version of Compound V to take on the Vought and members of The Seven. Butcher and the Boys, desperate to bring Homelander down, searched for and awoke a dormant supe, Soldier Boy. While specifics about the new season’s narrative are scant, actor Jensen Ackles hinted that the Seven’s previous leader may not have met his end.

Season 4 of The Boys won’t be available on Prime Video for a while, but the Vought Universe has lots more in store. Prime Video is producing a spinoff series set on a supe college in addition to a second season of the anthology series The Boys Presents: Diabolical! The project, dubbed Gen-V, is the franchise’s first live-action spinoff. Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, Chance Perdomo as Emma Shaw, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger as Golden Boy, Sean Patrick Thomas as Polarity, and Marco Pigossi as Doctor Edison Cardosa are among the cast members.

The Boys’ first three seasons, as well as The Boys Presents: Diabolical!, are now accessible on Prime Video.

Jensen Ackles Landing The Role On The Boys Just As Supernatural Was Ending (And Beat Movie Stars To Do It)

Jensen Ackles is no longer Dean Winchester from Supernatural, and his follow-up role as Soldier Boy on The Boys took a drastically different turn. His new

Jensen Ackles is no longer Dean Winchester from Supernatural, and his follow-up role as Soldier Boy on The Boys took a drastically different turn. His new post resulted in a Supernatural reunion, since creator Eric Kripke also oversees the Amazon Prime program. The actor has spoken openly about how he landed Soldier Boy just as Supernatural was wrapping up. It even included defeating some Hollywood stars.

Eric Kripke described how Jensen Ackles got the part of Soldier Boy in 2021, but now it’s Ackles’ turn to tell his side of the tale. In a recent interview with Men’s Health, he discussed his experience on The Boys and how he got the part of Supe. Soldier Boy was originally intended for an older actor, but when Ackles contacted Kripke to ask his thoughts on a different project, the discussion took an unexpected turn: “I said, ‘So what’s going on over there at The Boys?” We were about to finish watching Supernatural when I realized, ‘You know, I’m going to be jobless.’ I just tossed it out there playfully. ‘Look, dude, if you want to come over to The Boys, I’ll bring you over here no problem,’ he offered right away. I’d be delighted to have you.’ ‘Sign me up!’ I said.

Given that Supernatural was nearing the end of its 15-season run, it’s no surprise that Ackles leaped at the chance to join The Boys! The actor said that Kripke gave him several audition tapes and that he instantly wanted in.

However, Ackles was skeptical that he would even receive the role. While he didn’t say who since he’d be blacklisted, he did say that after hearing who was on the shortlist, he was certain he wasn’t going to get Soldier Boy: I do know that there were certain names that I believe the network was considering. A brief list of names was provided. And when [Kripke] recited a handful of those names to me, I said to myself, ‘Oh, well, there’s no way.’ I don’t stand a chance. Those people are Hollywood stars.’

Fortunately, Jensen Ackles was cast as Soldier Boy, and the rest is history. It makes me wonder who else was up for the position and who made Ackles so concerned that he wouldn’t win it. Maybe one of those actors will appear as a different hero in The Boys Season 4, when it airs?

Meanwhile, Ackles was not the only Supernatural performer to go right into a new project once the show wrapped. Jared Padalecki agreed to play the title character in the Walker revival before the last season of Supernatural had even wrapped (and prior to the COVID shutdowns). Walker launched in SPN’s timeslot the following year, and the third season is already in the works, with prequel series Walker: Independence set to debut this autumn. In addition, Ackles’ Supernatural prequel The Winchesters will air in a few months.

Why Season 3 of The Boys was the most contentious yet

There isn’t much information regarding The Boys Season 4 or if Soldier Boy will return. It’s unclear if he’ll return to cause more havoc now that he’s been taken back under and frozen in the season finale. Jensen Ackles, on the other hand, has been cast as a series regular on ABC’s Big Sky.

Season 3 of The Boys is now accessible with an Amazon Prime membership, while all 15 seasons of Supernatural are available with a Netflix subscription.

In One Important Way, The Boys’ Soldier Boy Outperforms Captain America

While The Boys’ Soldier Boy seemed to be a crude parody of Marvel Comics’ Captain America, the copycat supe actually outperformed the original in one essen

While The Boys’ Soldier Boy seemed to be a crude parody of Marvel Comics’ Captain America, the copycat supe actually outperformed the original in one essential way—at least in terms of the live-action version.

Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) is a Super Soldier in the Amazon Prime Video original series The Boys who was produced via the usage of Compound V—a serum that can convert individuals into superhumans. Soldier Boy was originally only extraordinarily strong and invulnerable. However, after extensive testing in a Russian laboratory, Soldier Boy obtained the ability to take away the abilities of other superheroes with a catastrophic explosion that he can generate from inside his own body. While that powerful skill is amazing (and one that Captain America lacks), it isn’t the reason The Boys’ Soldier Boy is more impressive than Captain America. The true explanation is significantly more subtle, but immensely more helpful in combat settings.

The Avengers receive a distress call from a region of the planet that has been taken over by communist tyranny in Avengers #18 by Stan Lee and Don Heck, which was a huge matter given that this issue was published not long after the ‘Red Scare’ in the United States. Following a distress signal from a place in eastern Asia, the Avengers are met by communist officials from that region who pose as people in danger in order to deceive the Avengers into falling into their trap, all as part of their strategy to show that communism was better to capitalism. When the Avengers realize their error in taking this call, they are promptly attacked with a knockout gas that renders all of them unconscious, including Captain America.

The Boys’ Soldier Boy is Superior to Captain America in One Key Way

Everything we know so far about The Boys 4

M.M. tosses a smoke grenade at Soldier Boy in The Boys season 3 episode 6 titled ‘Herogasm,’ but Soldier Boy picks up the grenade and inhales the deadly smoke merely for the head rush, indicating that it has absolutely no effect on him at all. Captain America’s physique isn’t as powerful as Soldier Boy’s, as seen by Cap being put unconscious by the same chemical that took out Hawkeye, who is practically just an ordinary human, in Avengers #18. Being resistant to sleeper gas during a combat is very valuable since it is generally one of the first things an adversary would attempt to employ to target a group of heroes they intend to capture. Soldier Boy can only be knocked unconscious by a fatal nerve poison, therefore if he had been in Captain America’s place in this Avengers issue, the enemies would have had no idea what struck them.

Of course, this comparison is only valid between the comic book Captain America and the live-action Soldier Boy, since Soldier Boy in the comics cannot compete with any version of Captain America. Butcher immediately kills the Soldier Boy from The Boys comics after he is repeatedly insulted and molested by Homelander. Soldier Boy in the comics is the polar opposite of Captain America in terms of strength and ferocious courage. While The Boys’ live-action Soldier Boy is similarly a dark twist on a Captain America-like figure, he is more strong than the original since his body can withstand much more torture than Marvel’s top Super Soldier.

Following that, Captain America’s Avengers training is much too grueling for the MCU.
