Amazon's The Boys has captivated audiences with its socially conscious themes and wide range of dynamic characters. While most of the "superheroes" appear to fight for the greater good, they display varying degrees of arrogance, obsession with the spotlight, and general vanity about their public activities. As such, the eponymous group of vigilantes seeks to rid their community of superhumans and the corporation they represent known as Vought.
