Every Real Life Inspiration Of All The Boys And Major Supes - Explored
Ойын-сауық
The latest season of Boys has added two new characters to the series, and it seems they have not even been taken from the comic books. The show's writers have always made it clear to reference the present world based on various pop culture events. Fans might have noticed the random mentions of celebrities in the series and how much it might be feasible. These references make the show a lot more exciting as we connect with the series and the relevance of the protagonists’ plans. With a massive influence from the world, it appears that many of the characters in The Boys are inspired by various places. Let’s take a look at some of these references and real world inspirations of these characters.

Black Noir is the Deadpool take for the combat skills, the brain damage, the cartoons and voices in his head and the fact he never talks being an ironic nod to how Deadpool is always gibbering. You'd have to be more familiar with the Deadpool of the comics for a number of years to spot this though. The video maker is just going by the fact that he looks a bit like Christopher and Nolan and Christian Bale's Batman, when Tek Knight is obviously the Batman (greatest detective in the world and started off in 'Detective Comics', way back. Tek Knight even has a mansion with a cave underneath. When Kimico goes feral and wild, that's like when Wolverine goes all berzerker and don't forget Wolverine has a healing factor and regenerative powers, as well.

Black Noir is obviously a Deadpool counterpart. With the hand to hand combat skills and the insanity, seeing cartoon characters and hearing their voices in his head. Even the whole 'never opens his mouth' shtick will even be inspired by the fact that Deadpool hardly ever shuts his.
I wouldn't consider Stormfront Thor's or Storm's evil counterpart. BlackNoir was killed in the 3rd season.

I guess we're just choosing to forget Marvel's attempt at a "Gurls get it done" moment? That the Boys is parodying in the first place....
Kimiko: Lady Death Strike
Homelander is for sure Evil Superman but as the show goes on, he kinda has shades of Magneto coming out, just in terms of how he talks about supes compared to humans, in a similar way Magneto would talk about mutants compared to humans.
Cindy was Jean Grey/Magneto parody.
Ezekiel can be Richard Reed for sure

I disagree that Marvel fans would draw a parallel to Richard Reed. Because Marvel fans would say “who the f*ck is Richard Reed” and would run to the comment section.
Annie/Star light is more like captain marvel/Carol Danvers on the show albeit she absorbs a very specific energy source electricity storing it and using it to fly or enhance her attacks. Captain Marvel can absorb any type of energy and use it.
Soilder boy went to get crimson countess address from the legend, not Madilyn Stillwells. Do you watch the show ?

like black noir II will lose his job and be replace by Sam that would be nice and i thought Kimiko was more like Lady Deathstrikes ..wolverine's nemesis

starlight is mostly mary marvel as for personality and first costume, with generic light based powers (spoiler for who didn't read the comic: she could beat/kill homelander if not for her nature)

They don't have secret identities either
The Black noir shown in THE BOYS web series is in no way a Batman’s parody..! Batman is the leader of Justice League not Superman and Batman never ‘obeys’ Superman rather he is the one who keeps him in check..! As far as the comic book version Black noir is actually another homelander rather even more powerful and finally he is the one who kills him…! This in a way (although Batman is not more powerful than Superman but we saw how if he wants he can defeat Superman as he knows his weakness) can to some extent be compared to the Bat..!
None of these characters exist in "real life", genius.

Maybe he meant the Boys executed it in a better way
The Boys might be a parody of existing mainstream comic hero's. But the Boys does it better, way, way better. The originals are more like parodies of the Boys. Another aspect of character that the Boys absolutely Nails. is the trinity of characterisations. This trinity can be seen in what can be considered the best in series film or book. "The Crone", "The Mother" and "the maisden". I'll leave it to you to look back at any well written character story and you will see them. Hughie or D'Artagnan and many other examples of the fourth aspect are the innocence the potential to become one of the three arch types. Hughie follows the crone, where as D'Artagnan followed the Mother etc. Terry Pratchette played on these acrch types with his witches from Disc World.

Just thought of a theory while watching this.. i have always felt besides the superhero genre deconstruction, this show is also about political commentary of the real world. Homelander's character is the US,most powerful country by far, has potential to nuke the entire world many times over,likes pretending saviour, but is the biggest villain in the shadows,that arabic supe terrorist, whose power is to go boom , is pretty much on the nose, and the only japanese character, kimiko is mute, just like japan was muted after the ww2, stormfront is the old nazi germany literally, vought is capitalism/corporate greed personified, Butcher is the UK, going weaker, still one of the most experienced player on the block, morally questionable,also has a rift with Homelander (US), but teams up when going against soldier boy(Russia) , frenchy is well France, allied to both positive and negative sides, having a dark past of crime on its own, and also having taste for finer things, A Train is mostly BLM(sorta), while starlight is a place in for the woke left
