Character from The Boys by Eric Kripke
A career politician trying to rein in Vought through legislation — the well-meaning bureaucrat who doesn't realize his running mate can pop his head like a balloon.
Singer speaks in the deliberate, measured tones of an old-school politician — press conferences, not tweets. He believes in institutions, in process, in the system working the way it's supposed to. This makes him both the show's most sympathetic authority figure and its most naive. He's genuinely trying to do the right thing — regulating Supes, holding Vought accountable, preventing a superpowered arms race. But he's playing chess while Victoria Neuman is playing a different game entirely, and his faith in the democratic process is touching right up until you remember that his VP candidate can explode his brain.
Gray-haired, weathered, and avuncular — the quintessential senior politician in rumpled suits and reading glasses. Carries himself with the weary dignity of someone who's been in Washington long enough to know how little it changes.
