Every Single Supe Killed In The Boys And Gen V

The Boys gives us its first supe death at the end of Season 1’s “Cherry” when Hughie kills Translucent. Frenchie inserts a bomb in the supe’s body while he’s unconscious, which Hughie detonates before he can escape.

The B-Lister Popclaw is killed by her own lover, A-Train, in Season 1’s “Good for the Soul.” After learning she had given The Boys information, Homelander orders her death. A-Train uses his super speed to inject her with multiple syringes of heroin, triggering a fatal overdose.

A psychic hero with no physical abilities to protect him, Haley Joel Osment’s Mesmer is beaten to death by Billy Butcher in an airport restroom in Season 2’s “The Self-Preservation Society.” Butcher beats the supe to death after learning he’s betrayed The Boys to Homelander.

Season 1 ends with the revelation that Homelander has been distributing Compound V all over the world to terrorists in a bid to make The Seven indispensable to the United States military. In The Boys Season 2 premiere, “The Big Ride,” Naquib, the most well known of these supe terrorists, meets his death at the hands of Black Noir, who decapitates him.

Kimiko’s brother Kenji is murdered by the Nazi supe Stormfront in Season 2’s “Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men.”

In Season 2 we learn that ever since The Boys Season 1 finale, in which Homelander’s rage leads to the death of Elisabeth Shue’s Madelyn Stillwell, Homelander has been using the shapeshifting supe Doppelganger to replace her. In “Nothing Like It in the World,” Homelander grows tired of the charade and breaks Doppelganger’s neck.

Early in Season 2’s “We Gotta Go Now,” a video leaks of Homelander killing an unnamed supe terrorist with wind powers. The Boys‘ villain kills the supe and leaves without knowing his laser vision also caused an unintentional death—a young man who was standing too close to the supe.

The Boys episode “The Bloody Doors Off” is one of the bloodiest in terms of supe death, and the first of its many supe kills is Tim.

Tim is one of the supe “patients” at the Sage Grove Center. When he refuses to undergo any more tests, Lamplighter—on Stormfront’s orders—burns him to death.

After the prisoners of Sage Grove break free, an unnamed supe who spits acid attacks Lamplighter. Kimiko stops him from killing Lamplighter by knocking him over and stomping on his stomach. The stomach stomp causes the supe to vomit acid all over himself, killing him.

While surveilling the Sage Grove Center from the outside, Hughie sees an unnamed supe at the window signaling for help. Moments later a huge splash of blood hits the window. Though we never see her, the way the supe dies suggests he was murdered by another supe patient, Ess Hödlmoser’s Cindy, who earlier shows the ability to make people explode from the inside out.

One supe patient runs into Hughie, Starlight, and Butcher as he’s escaping. Butcher tries to calm him down, but he attacks them with a powerful telekinetic blast. Butcher shoots him in the chest several times, killing him.

We never see the final six supe deaths in “The Bloody Doors Off,” but when Stormfront arrives, the Boys overhear her saying she killed six supe patients before finding Lamplighter.

In Season 2’s “Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker,” Lamplighter helps Hughie break into The Seven Tower. Hughie does it to save Starlight, while Lamplighter takes the opportunity to use his own fire powers to immolate himself in The Seven conference room.

In the penultimate episode of The Boys Season 2 comes the final supe death of the season. Shockwave—short-lived replacement for A-Train in The Seven—is one of the many victims of Victoria Neuman’s head-popping blood powers in a bloody courtroom scene.

Tony, a figure from Victoria Neuman’s past, shows up in the Season 3 The Boys premiere “Payback,” only to meet an early death. When he confronts Victoria in an alley, a heated argument turns into a fight, ending in Tony’s death.

Stormfront, the chief antagonist of The Boys Season 2, brings about her own death in “The Only Man in the Sky.” Crushed by the realization that Homelander doesn’t share her racist values, she swallows her own tongue.

In the same episode of The Boys that sees Stormfront’s death, Billy Butcher kills Soldier Boy’s old sidekick, Gunpowder. Beefed up with Temp V, Butcher uses his powers to murder Gunpowder in a parking garage.

The flying supe Swatto enjoys the distinction of having the earliest The Boys supe death timeline-wise. He’s blown out of the sky with a missile during a flashback in Season 3’s “Barbary Coast” when Russians and Sandanistas attack and kidnap Soldier Boy.

Supersonic—Starlight’s old boyfriend—is murdered off screen by Homelander in Season 3’s “Glorious Five Year Plan.” When Supersonic lets A-Train in on Starlight’s plan to take out Homelander, the speedster betrays the newest member of The Seven. Homelander later brings Starlight up to the roof of The Seven Tower to show her Supersonic’s mangled corpse.

The Boys Season 3 has a similar high supe death count to Season 2, due in no small part to Soldier Boy’s quest to get revenge on the members of his old team Payback. In “The Last Time to Look On This World of Lies,” he draws first blood, using his new powers to kill his ex, Crimson Countess.

Season 3’s “Herogasm” is another The Boys episode with a high supe death count all on its own. Soldier Boy crashes the event specifically to murder his old teammates—the brother and sister twins that make up TNT. We later learn the blast kills five other unnamed supes.

The racist supe Blue Hawk is also in attendance at Herogasm, and A-Train takes the opportunity to get revenge on the supe for crippling his brother. Using his super speed, A-Train holds Blue Hawk down to the pavement as he runs, literally ripping the flesh from his bones.

The Boys shows us plenty of supe deaths, and few are as useless as Termite’s. The shrinking hero is initially one of the few survivors of “Herogasm,” but Homelander crushes him with his boot when arrives.

Mindstorm is the final member of Payback that Soldier Boy manages to kill in “Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed.” Hughie convinces the psychic to free Butcher from his nightmare prison, promising to protect him, but Soldier Boy murders Mindstorm before anyone can stop him—crushing the psychic’s head with his shield.

Black Noir, the last surviving member of Payback, is killed by Homelander in the Season 3 finale, “The Instant White-Hot Wild.” Homelander kills the mute hero with his bare hands after learning Noir knew that Soldier Boy was his biological father but never told him.

God U,” the series premiere of Gen V, ends with the explosive death of Golden Boy, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger (son of the legendary Arnold). Traumatized by what he knows about the tests in The Woods and his re-emerging memories, Golden Boy lifts himself into the air above campus and commits suicide by triggering an explosion within his own body.

A Godolkin U alumnus gifted with slowed aging, Dusty has little to do with the overall plot of Gen V or The Boys, but he nevertheless meets his death in “Jumanji” after being sucked into Cait’s mindscape along with her friends. When he tries to flee from the psychic image of Golden Boy, the latter blasts him into pieces.

We actually don’t know how many supes are killed in The Woods by the newly developed anti-supe virus, but we know at least five mostly unnamed young supes are victims to it. The first dies in “Jumanji,” and four more follow in “Sick.”

After surviving test subjects from The Woods are freed, Cait convinces them to go on a bloody rampage in “Guardians of Godolkin,” the season 1 finale of Gen V.

There’s so much chaos in this episode, that there very well could’ve been more supe deaths, but on screen we only see 4—all nameless escaped test subjects from The Woods.

Jeff the PR guy kills one with a sonic device that detonates her skull. Jordan chokes one to death. The final two are taken out by Marie—she uses her blood powers to stop one of the escapee’s hearts, and with her blood knives she turns another one into a pin cushion.

“Life Among the Septics” introduces Splinter, a supe who—like Marvel’s Madrox the Multiple Man—creates multiple copies of himself. The Boys have a huge fight with him and his copies, ending with Splinter’s death when Butcher puts a crowbar through the skull of “Splinter Prime.”

When the stretchy-powered evangelical supe Ezekiel catches Frenchie in Firecracker’s trailer in “Wisdom of the Ages,” Butcher tries to help but is overpowered by the supe. Butcher blacks out and wakes up to find Ezekiel torn to pieces. We later learn his messing around with Compound V has given Butcher tentacle powers, and it was presumably the tentacles that ripped Ezekiel apart while Butcher was unconscious.

Perhaps the saddest supe death of all in The Boys is that of Hughie’s father Hugh, played by Simon Pegg, in “Beware of the Jabberwock, My Son.” Hugh’s ex-wife gives him Compound V to save his life after a bad stroke.

It works, but Hugh’s new powers plus a newly developed dementia lead to an unintentional killing spree through the hospital. Hughie is forced to euthanize his own father, with Hugh’s knowledge and consent.

The Boys‘ depraved answer to Batman meets his death in “Dirty Business.” After Hughie is rescued from Tek Knight’s tortures, his butler Elijah kills him.

Elijah explains he’s put up with far too much from the supe, and the news that he was going to fund a series of secret prisons is the last straw. We never see how Elijah kills him, but Tek Knight’s death is later confirmed by Firecracker.

The Boys‘ junkie version of Spider-Man is killed by Homelander in “The Insider.” Firecracker incorrectly believes Webweaver is the leak who’s been giving information to the Boys, but Homelander manages to get out of him that all he’s done is loan them his suit to get them into Tek Knight’s home. Presumably both disgusted by Webweaver and frustrated at another dead end, Homelander tears him in half.

After she tries and fails to assassinate the president, The Boys villain known only as “The Shifter” is choked to death by Starlight in the Season 4 finale “Assassination Run.”

While most of the Boys want to help Victoria Neuman in return for her cooperation, that isn’t good enough for Butcher. Toward the end of the Season 4 finale, his tentacles burst out of his chest, grab Neuman, and tear her apart.
