The Boys
The Boysis famous for take darling and iconic funny Holy Scripture character and twisting them to fit the gritty story that supes are almost fated to be corrupted by their own god - tier mightiness , and none are more powerful than the parodies ofDC Comics ’ great heroes .
From The Deep to Homelander , there is no shortage ofThe Boyscharacterswho variation powers , ability , and similitude from classic DC superheroes . However , out of them all , only a couple handfuls stand above the rest as the most noteworthy . Here are the top 10 most knock-down version of DC superheroes inThe Boys(ranked ) .
10Jack From Jupiter (Martian Manhunter)
Out of the top 10 strongest DC takeoff inThe male child , only one can stand out as the weakest among them , and that supe is Jack from Jupiter . A parody of Martian Manhunter , Jack from Jupiter is n’t actually an exotic hero ( though that ’s what he claims to be as a member of the Seven ) , and is instead just another human mutate byVought - American ’s Compound V. First appearing inThe Boys#1 by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson , Jack from Jupiter has the power of good - invulnerability , and has superhuman effectiveness ( though nothing too rottenly telling ) . InThe Boys#59 , Butcher murder Jack from Jupiter by stabbing him repeatedly with little - to - no push back . Jack from Jupiter ’s death proved his magnate are silly , and his deficiency of education give him wicked in a fight .
9A-Train (Wally West’s The Flash)
A clear parody of Wally West ’s Flash ( with his hair exposed from the top of his masque and being the heir to another speedster ) , A - Train ’s superpower is his super fastness . His self-aggrandizing title - to - celebrity is that he killed Hughie ’s girlfriend , Robin , by literally incline through her . That mistake was the affair that inspired Hughie to kill A - Train inThe Boys#63 after Butcher catch him and chained him up . A speedster who can be caught and killed by irregular supes like the Boys is n’t much of a speedster , even when factoring in the unpaired deadliness of the Boys themselves , making A - railroad train one of the weak DC parodies among them .
8Malchemical (Metamorpho)
Malchemical is shown to be reminiscent of DC Comics ’ Metamorpho free-base on his exchangeable aesthetic and superhuman abilities . Debuting inThe Boys#42 , Malchemical directly put his powerfulness on presentation by taking commission of one of Vought - American ’s grim - level superhero teams . Those power include the ability to shift his physical structure into any element , which he uses to terrorize those who gainsay him . In the end , Butcher is able to burn down Malchemical animated when the supe was in his gaseous form , proving that Malchemical seemed way stronger than he actually work out to be .
7Starlike (Starfire)
A parody of DC ’s Starfire , Starlike is a member ofThe Boys ’ Team Titanic ( which is , itself , a parody of Teen Titans ) , and her powers / case pattern is nearly indistinguishable to Starfire . Orange skin , energy acoustic projection power , and a similar costume makes Starlike ’s alikeness to the iconic DC bomber unacceptable to miss . Plus , Starlike is one of the more impressive supes in the series , as inThe Boys#61 , she is not only able to blast off Frenchie ’s arm during a fight , but she also survives enjoin battle , and does n’t experience a grisly fate like some of the other supes on this tilt . While not Seven material , Starlike is definitely someone the Boys do n’t want to mess with again .
6Lamplighter (Green Lantern)
Lamplighter is a lampoon of DC ’s Green Lantern , but pretty much in name only . Lamplighter has the power to control fire , and he carry a torch ( or lamp ) with him at all times to draw his pyrokinetic attacks from . While little is known about Lamplighter , as he primarily exist in flashbacks or when he ’s fall upon as a reanimated automaton inThe Boys#19 , what is known is that Lamplighter was a set up phallus of the Seven , and as such , is inherently one of the more potent supes in - canyon . Original members of the Seven compare to those on other superhero squad ( or filling - in members like A - gear ) are key out as a atomic warhead to the other ’s dynamite . So , while Lamplighter is hardly shown in the Book and is killed by Butcher and the Boys off - panel , the sheer strength of his great power is imply by his post .
5The Deep (Aquaman)
Another center member of the Seven , the Deep isThe Boys ’ mockery of Aquaman , which is most conspicuously shown in the character ’s costume alone , as he looks more like a cryptical - sea frogman wearing copper hat equipment than a royal protagonist of the ocean . With the plus of flight , the Deep ’s powers are almost the same in the comics as they are in the Prime Video series , with none of the despicable trait display by his live - activeness counterpart . For the most part , the Deep is a pretty expert person who does n’t go out of his way to hurt others . It ’s for this reason that the Deep make it till the goal of the series ( and even headlines a novel superhero squad known as True inThe Boys#72 ) , as the Boys do n’t have any specific reason to sample to kill him . Though if they did , they ’d have their deal full , as the Deep has prove to be a formidable supe .
4Mister Marathon (Barry Allen’s The Flash)
Like A - Train , Mister Marathon is also a parody of DC Comics ’ The Flash , except he ’s more remindful of Barry Allen as opposed to A - Train ’s Wally West . Like Barry with the Justice League , Mister Marathon was a founding appendage of the Seven , not just a fill - in replacement like A - Train . That ’s why Mister marathon is so much gamey on this list , as he ’s a ‘ nuke ’ to A - Train ’s ‘ dynamite ’ in terms of power - but that ’s not all . Mister Marathon was killed by Homelander inThe Boys#21 after convincing the drawing card of the Seven to stay put on course and save a plane that was being hijack by terrorist . While he only wanted to continue the mission for reverence of being kindle by Vought - American , Mister Marathon technically pass away being a hoagie , and he was killed by one of the strongest supes in his universe ( which is a far cry better than A - Train ’s demise ) .
3Queen Maeve (Wonder Woman)
Queen Maeve is The Boys ’ Wonder Woman parody who has flying and superhuman specialty . Not only that , but Queen Maeve also carries a blade and wears elegant , royal - wait armor reminiscent of Wonder Woman . Queen Maeve is a heart extremity of the Seven and one of the few supes in the funnies with the power to stand up to the likes of Homelander , which she die doing inThe Boys#63 . Like Mister Marathon before her , there is no shame in being killed by one of the strongest supes inThe Boysuniverse - even if he is just the second strong .
2Homelander (Superman)
Appearing in much every subject ofThe Boys , Homelander might be the serial ' most placeable DC parody , as his superpower , aesthetic , and position on the Seven congenator to the Justice League is a exculpated parody of Superman . While he has all the same powers as the classic Man of Steel , Homelander is the antithesis of everything Superman stands for . He ’s a rapist , a manslayer , and someone who use his higher-ranking powers to intimidate those around him on a day-by-day footing for no other reason than to maintain control ( and a snatch for his own enjoyment ) . However , even with his god - tier king , there ’s still one supe who can - and has - put Homelander in the ground .
1Black Noir (Batman)
The Boys ’ answer to Batman , Black Noir in the beginning came off as a tacit ninja upon his first appearance inThe Boys#1 , who operated primarily with gadgets and sheer accomplishment with no exonerated powers , just like the original Dark Knight . But , by the clock time fans realized who he really was inThe Boys#65 , it was clear this supe was a unlike animal entirely . Black Noir was unlike every other supe inThe Boysas he was a clone of Homelander , who possessed super potency that made Homelander look pathetic . During their final showdown , Black Noir punch Homelander ’s jaw neat off , and then proceed to tear the supe apart with his bare hand until there was nothing lead but one of Homelander ’s arms and a bit of his body . While the damage Homelander ’s heat imaginativeness did lead in Black Noir ’s end as well ( with Butcher there to deliver the last black eye ) , Black Noir intelligibly proved to be stronger than the man who had been dubbed the substantial supe inThe Boys , making him the true stiff in the series .
In more shipway than one , The Boyshas never pulled any poke in any agency , figure or shape , and that let in the series ’ rough criticisms of superheroes and the superhero genre as a whole . As clearly outlined here , this is specially true for those of DC , with these top 10 most brawny versions ofDC Comicssuperheroes inThe Boysbeing only a few of the embarrassment introduced throughout the series .
