The Boys

The Boys are a covert, off-the-books unit of individuals enhanced by Compound V. Funded by the CIA, their purpose is to monitor the world’s superhuman population and prevent Vought American from integrating Supes into the military. The team was originally composed of Mallory, Billy Butcher, Mother’s Milk, The Frenchman, and The Female. When Butcher reformed the team, Hughie replaced Mallory. All members have taken Compound V, which permanently boosts their systems, making them 10 to 15 times stronger.
