Robin Ward

Character from The Boys by Eric Kripke

Hughie's girlfriend whose death — obliterated by A-Train running through her — is the inciting incident that transforms a meek electronics clerk into a vigilante.

Robin exists in the show as a ghost — the person Hughie was before The Boys, the life he was supposed to have. Her death wasn't dramatic or meaningful in the Supe world; A-Train barely noticed. She was standing on a sidewalk holding Hughie's hand and then she was gone, reduced to a pair of arms. That casualness is the point. Robin wasn't a target — she was collateral damage so insignificant that A-Train literally ran through her without slowing down.

Appearance

Young and bright-eyed with a warm, open face. Only seen briefly before her death — casual clothes, an easy smile, the look of someone with their whole life ahead of them.

Also known as: Robin, Robin Ward
