Herogasm
Herogasm is a six-issue comic book limited series by Garth Ennis, John McCrea and Keith Burns. The series was originally published as a spin-off of The Boys, set between issues #30 and #31, and centers on the Boys as they infiltrate "Herogasm", an annual party for Vought-American-sponsored superheroes to allow them orgies. Herogasm was collected in trade paperback in November 2009 as the fifth volume of The Boys, as The Boys: Herogasm.
Herogasm was adapted as the sixth episode of the third season of the Amazon Prime Video streaming television adaptation of The Boys, with Jensen Ackles portraying Soldier Boy, a character introduced in Herogasm.
In February 2009, Dynamite announced the first spin-off mini-series of The Boys in Herogasm, with art from John McCrea, who The Boys creator Garth Ennis had worked with numerous times before, and Keith Burns, a friend of McCrea's of whom he has said: "Keith's strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa." The series is The Boys version of the big 'event' storylines but, according to Ennis "while we're having a pop at the notion of mass crossovers within a shared universe, we're not picking on 'Crisis' or 'Secret Wars' or 'Countdown' or whatever in particular." The idea for the mini-series came about because the first part of the story does not involve the team and focuses on the superheroes, but will affect the main series:
Our heroes' minor role in the story gradually alters its dynamic, until something happens in #4 that sends things off on a completely unexpected tangent. After that, life gets serious fast, and by the end you'll have witnessed events that will change things in the Boys' world for good. We'll start to pick up on the effects of that with #31 of the regular title.
Herogasm starts off with the Homelander making a public announcement that the heroes and villains of the world have united to face an alien threat, which was responsible for destroying the G-Men. They then fly off to an island resort where high class prostitutes are paid $100k to entertain them for several days and the Super Heroes and Villains largely engage in a drunken, drug fuelled orgy as an annual all expenses paid vacation; the alien threat does not actually exist and was just for PR purposes.
Homelander has sex with Soldier Boy from Payback, the second best Super Hero team, under the guise of "testing" him to see if he is worthy to join the Seven, the best Super Hero team. He is able to convince Soldier Boy that it is not gay for them to have sex and it is merely a trial, and that perhaps he will have better luck in the future. Homelander has no intention of letting him join and just wants to trick him because he is convinced he can do anything he wants.
Meanwhile, The Boys have infiltrated the island and observed the Seven's liaison officer with Vought arriving, along with Vice President Vic, who is secretly controlled by Vought.
The next day, Homelander destroys a passenger jet in mid air with his eye beams, killing everyone on board. Afterwards, the Vought officer tells Homelander that Vic will become the president within a year, implying that they will have the President assassinated so that Vic can become president. The Vought officer then talks to Payback to get them to take care of a troublesome group, implied to be The Boys, and suggests that if they are able to accomplish this, they will no longer be regarded as second best and that they will no longer need to keep trying to join The Seven.
