List of The Boys characters
The following is a list of fictional characters from the comic series The Boys, created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and subsequent media franchise developed by Eric Kripke, consisting of a live-action series adaptation, the web series Seven on 7, the animated anthology series The Boys Presents: Diabolical, and the live-action spin-off series Gen V.
Main cast
Recurring cast
The Boys are a CIA black ops team created by Col. Greg Mallory to observe, record and sometimes liquidate Supes created by the mega-conglomerate Vought. Ostensibly assembled to help prevent & avenge the immoral and illegal actions of the largely out of control "supe" community, they also seek to ensure that Vought lacks the stability or the platform to push for use of superhumans in national defense. Due to Billy Butcher's increased instability, the team's focus gradually changed from one of management & containment to the total elimination of all Supes. As Mallory notes in issue #55, 14 people were killed by the Boys from 1987 to 1995 and "nearly three times that number" between 1995 and 2002, after Butcher gained more influence. This coincides with Mallory's belief in issues #54–55 that despite the seductiveness of the concept of special forces teams, the application of them can often go wrong as they try to justify their budgets and create their private conflicts. As a result, Mallory feels that the original concept for the team has gone awry and would never have created the unit as it currently stands.
The first iteration of the Boys was decommissioned after a disastrous confrontation with the Seven in 2001 that resulted in the deaths of Mallory's grandchildren. The unit was reformed a few years later – indicated in issue #1 to be soon after the 2004 Presidential election – and has carried on where they left off. All the members have enhanced strength and durability due to injections of Compound V to support direct confrontations with Supes. Aside from Hughie, none of the Boys show restraint when on the attack, although they will attempt to avoid killing when it complicates matters.
Though they are not as powerful as the corrupt superheroes they fight, the team compensates with their blue-collar grit, their willingness to fight dirty, their access to high military grade weaponry and explosives, and their fearlessness to kill as necessary. Thanks to Butcher's, Frenchman's, and Mother's Milk's military backgrounds, the Boys also gained elite military combat and weapons training to make them an even deadlier team. They also became master hand-to-hand combat specialists thanks to Mother's Milk's background as a former boxer.
First seen in issue #2, The Frenchman is one of the original Boys, and displays a penchant for extreme violence within a few frames of his first appearance. As his name suggests, he is French. His spoken French uses incorrect phrasing, though whether this is an intentional plot point remains unknown. He takes an immediate liking to "Petit Hughie." He and the Female provide the physical strength of the team, and he is prone to violent outbursts, although he can control them better than the Female. According to Mother's Milk, however, it is better for the rest of humanity in general if they are in the team rather than in the outside world.
Like Billy and Mother's Milk, the Frenchman possesses military experience, particularly in ballistics, to the extent that Butcher defers to him on that matter. The Frenchman also possesses an incredibly strong sense of smell. When his sense of smell is first shown in the Glorious 5 Year Plan arc, a confused Hughie asks why Terror isn't sniffing around. Butcher replies that "Frenchie has the better nose for it," implying that The Frenchman's sense of smell is greater than that of a dog.
