Item from The Boys by Eric Kripke
A bioweapon designed to kill Supes — the ultimate anti-Supe weapon, developed from Vought's own research and capable of ending the superpowered era if deployed.
The Supe Virus is the nuclear option — a biological weapon that targets and kills Compound V-enhanced individuals. Its development spans both The Boys and Gen V, with multiple factions seeking to control it. Dean Shetty's research at The Woods contributed to its development. Victoria Neuman sought to control its deployment. The existence of a weapon that could kill any Supe shifts the power dynamics of the entire world — suddenly, Supes aren't invincible, and the question becomes who gets to decide which ones die. It's the show's equivalent of a nuclear weapon — a deterrent that only works if you're willing to use it, and using it would change everything.
A weaponized biological agent stored in containment vessels. The virus itself is invisible — its effects are devastating. Containment and delivery mechanisms vary depending on the version and who's wielding it.
