Related: The Boys' Laser Baby May Foreshadow A Season 3 Twist The Boys season 2 never revealed the reason MM's father obsessed over Vought so fiercely, but season 3 neatly fills that tragic gap. Milk away from his son and toward an early grave, fueling MM's hatred of Vought and its super-powered Compound-V celebrities. Milk, was a lawyer who spent every waking hour attempting to defeat Vought through the courts, fighting an impossible battle that makes David vs. The Boys season 2 started revealing the source of MM's hatred towards supe-kind. Did America's favorite supe secretly make a deal with the Soviets, turning Nicaragua into one big setup? Soldier Boy getting captured by Russian soldiers who emerge from nowhere feels highly conspicuous. Trailer footage also shows Soldier Boy expelling bright bursts of red energy, which isn't a power he possessed before being abducted. A side effect of Russian experimentation, perhaps? The Soviets might not even have a weapon, of course. Thanks to The Boys season 3's trailer, audiences already know he's alive in a lab somewhere, meaning whatever was used didn't work. Second on the agenda is discerning what "weapon" the Russians deployed against Soldier Boy. For starters, why did Russia take Soldier Boy? The most obvious answer is to remove America's greatest military asset, and simultaneously develop the means to manufacture supes of their own. Some vital pieces of the puzzle remain missing. Since Soldier Boy's disappearance from the public eye in 1984, therefore, he's actually been MIA in Russia and presumed dead by his native country. Annoyingly for Vought, the Russian soldiers then took Soldier Boy's corpse with them, preventing confirmation of his demise and stopping Vought learning anything about the weapon used against him. The Sandinista attack on Mallory's camp included Russian special forces, and according to Vought's top secret records (provided to Billy Butcher by Queen Maeve), they turned up packing a mysterious weapon that killed the near-invulnerable Soldier Boy. er, British royalty? The folder Queen Maeve shows to Butcher implies Soldier Boy helped bring down the Patriarca crime family (either that, or he was a member), while MM's research confirms Soldier Boy assisted police quelling apparent disorder in Harlem. He cavorted with presidents, celebrities, and. Crimson Countess was his lover (one of them, at least), while Gunpowder acted as Soldier Boy's personal sidekick. We can probably assume Soldier Boy spent most of his career between the 1950s and 1980s leading Payback in much the same way Homelander currently leads the Seven.

Prior to 1984, superheroes hadn't been involved with the U.S. Following Hitler's defeat, the American savior turned his attention toward communism and assisted his government against the so-called " red menace." However, young Stan Edgar drops an important detail in The Boys season 3's "Barbary Coast" flashback. More intriguingly, the all-American icon had some interaction with Stormfront while she was still known as "Liberty."ÄȘccording to the Crimson Countess attraction at Voughtland, Soldier Boy was born in Philadelphia to a family of humble means before achieving fame as a World War II hero. We also know Soldier Boy was the leader of Payback - a "Seven before the Seven" superhero group that included Crimson Countess, Gunpowder, and a young Black Noir. Once Homelander did finally appear, he came billed as Vought's most promising creation since Soldier Boy. The Boys Presents: Diabolical confirmed a period of time passed between Soldier Boy's exit and Homelander's entrance, during which Black Noir was Vought's leading supe. Soldier Boy mysteriously disappeared 40 years later, but how and why he vanished remains unknown. He defected to the Allies when WWII began turning against Germany's favor in 1944, and began churning out supes for his new American benefactors. Among the first successful products of these Stateside trials was Soldier Boy, who apparently cut down Nazi soldiers by the dozen on his way to becoming Vought's top star. Between Stan Edgar's history lesson and Stormfront's manifesto for global conquest, The Boys season 2 revealed how Frederick Vought created Compound-V as a tool for the Nazi party.
