Soldier Boy

Character from The Boys by Eric Kripke

America's original superhero — a World War II legend frozen in time, thawed out as a weapon against Homelander, only to reveal that the Greatest Generation's greatest Supe was a toxic, abusive fraud all along.

Also known as: Soldier Boy, Ben, SB, America's First Superhero

• Was betrayed by his own team Payback and handed over to the Russians, who experimented on him for decades
• Is Homelander's biological father — his genetic material was used by Vought to create the next generation
