4 DC Heroes That The Boys Needs to Roast Immediately (Including One From Superman)

by

The Amazon Prime series “The Boys” has left no doubt about the complexities beyond the glossy superhero world, filled with capes and heroics. Although numerous satirical interpretations of renowned heroes from Marvel and DC have already graced our screens, there remain a plethora of characters ripe for the “The Boys” reinterpretation. Here, we delve into DC-exclusive characters whose distinctive attributes, abilities, and personalities align perfectly with the show’s offbeat, dark, humorous style. As such, these four standout choices are primed for a comedic skewering, offering ample room for engaging narratives and comedic moments at their expense.

4) Black Canary

Dinah Lance, also known as Black Canary, debuted in 1947 in Flash Comics #86. She’s renowned for her martial arts expertise, leading the Birds of Prey team, and her unique “Canary Cry” – a scream that surpasses the speed of sound, leaving enemies helpless. Although her abilities are formidable, they can be limited and quite noisy. Dinah has appeared in several live-action series, such as Arrow, where she was shown as a practical fighter with intricate romantic relationships. More recently, she was featured in the Birds of Prey movie; however, her potential wasn’t fully realized in that portrayal.

The idea of a supersonic scream fitting the persona of corporate-backed superheroes is quite plausible. Given that Vought is involved in various entertainment platforms, such as major film franchises and reality TV, it wouldn’t be surprising if Black Canary began hosting a Vought-sponsored talent show.

In a different phrasing, consider this: The character could be depicted as a superhero who is overly obsessed with creating a soundproof dressing room instead of saving lives, which might be an amusing satire when integrated into the world of “The Boys.” Moreover, the series could use humor to point out the illogicality of yelling as a superpower in a more mature context. Introducing her diva persona from “The Boys” would introduce the chaos, disorder, and arrogance we have come to expect from the show.

3) Booster Gold

Booster Gold is a hero from the future who made his debut in 1986 through his own comic book series. His real name is Michael Jon Carter, and he’s recognized for his flashy high-tech gadgets, including a time machine, an inflated ego, and a preference for seeking fame over true acts of heroism. Although he has been featured in the Justice League on several occasions, Booster Gold remains less known to mainstream audiences outside comic book enthusiasts. However, keep in mind that Booster Gold is soon joining James Gunn’s DC Universe!

In my opinion, it’s just common sense to incorporate Booster Gold into the universe of The Boys. His character fits perfectly for Vought-style satire, almost as if he was tailor-made for it. They wouldn’t need to make many changes to his persona. Given his obsession with fame and wealth, Booster could effortlessly transform into a walking advertisement for Vought products. From protein bars to dubious “hero supplements,” he might even become a pro-Temp-V ambassador. His self-absorbed nature and eagerness to capitalize on opportunities mirror some of the show’s most iconic superhero archetypes.

Behind the public acclaim, it seems he might find himself less celebrated and more controlled by Vought International. There’s a strong possibility they could conceal his time-travel abilities and exploit him to correct any missed or botched actions of the Seven, using time-reversal as a secret weapon.

Furthermore, the characters Billy Butcher and The Boys might also incorporate a humorous take on his futuristic technology. They could potentially bring about a parody of the Avengers’ time-travel conversation from “Endgame” using DC comic characters, engaging in a debate about whether to travel back in time and eliminate Frederick Vought before he develops Compound V.

2) Catwoman

Catwoman, one of DC Comics’ most renowned anti-heroines, made her debut in the year 1940, appearing in issue #1 of Batman. Known for her cat burglar abilities, intricate relationship with Batman, and decisions that often blur the line between right and wrong, she has been portrayed in various media formats, ranging from Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns to Zoë Kravitz in The Batman.

In the world of “The Boys,” Selina Kyle, better known as Catwoman, might not align herself with Vought’s corrupt figures. Yet, she could thrive within its system. Her fascination with stylish attire, dramatic appearances, and maintaining an alluring, enigmatic persona makes her a prime target for satire. In the show, Catwoman would likely be a self-serving superhero, boasting connections to the most prominent and influential circles in America. Her versatile skills as a trickster and blackmailer allow her to work for those willing to pay top dollar, while managing to avoid Homelander’s scrutiny.

1) Metamorpho

The character Metamorpho, who is also recognized as Element Man and Rex Mason, first appeared in issue #57 of The Brave and the Bold back in 1965. Following contact with a peculiar meteorite, Mason developed the power to transform his body into any element or chemical substance. His powers boast incredible versatility, yet his physical appearance deviates from typical heroic standards, often resembling a mosaic of various metals and minerals. He has been part of numerous superhero groups and frequently contends with the peculiarities of his unique abilities. The 2025 blockbuster Superman, directed by James Gunn, saw Anthony Carrigan bring Metamorpho to life on screen.

In the DC universe, he’s generally portrayed as a positive character, but if we were to imagine him in the world of ‘The Boys’, he could easily transform into a more cynical and ominous figure. He’d be a superhero who is both essential yet utterly terrifying to look at.

If they were to maintain a likeness akin to DC’s Metamorpho for Mason, it could lead to intriguing interactions. However, given that Vought prioritizes heroes who meet a specific aesthetic standard, Mason’s unique patchwork skin might relegate him to the lower echelons of Z-list Vought celebrities. He might find himself cast as a villain in Vought film series or even as a fabricated Supe-Terrorist. Alternatively, if The Boys were to preserve Metamorpho’s powers while giving him an ordinary appearance, they could portray him as a corporate pawn. They could use him for PR stunts, having him clean up the messes made by the Seven by developing various building materials, essentially making him a tool for the company.
