Soldier Boy Meets Homelander | SOLDIER BOY | The Boys | Ogryzek - Aura Slowed

In the comics, Soldier Boy is depicted as a member of Payback, a superhero team that ranks just below The Seven in the corporate hierarchy of Vought-American, the company that manufactures and markets superheroes. Unlike his television counterpart, the comic version of Soldier Boy is naïve, insecure, and desperate for approval. He often embodies exaggerated patriotic fervor, which makes him a parody of the traditional all-American hero. Despite his outward bravado, he is ultimately a coward and is manipulated by Vought.

In the comics, Soldier Boy's most notable moment comes during "Herogasm," a side storyline where his ineptitude and misguided attempts to prove his worth take center stage. He's not portrayed as a particularly skilled or formidable hero, serving more as comic relief and a symbol of the hollowness of Vought's marketing of "heroes."
