4 Marvel Heroes That The Boys Needs to Roast Immediately (Including the MCU’s Biggest)

In essence, “The Boys” series has a cast primarily consisting of characters that are inspired by well-known comic book heroes and villains. The main group, known as The Seven, is dominated by figures reminiscent of DC superheroes. Homelander (Antony Starr) serves as an interpretation of Superman, Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott) mirrors Wonder Woman, The Deep (Chace Crawford) takes a humorous approach to Aquaman’s character, and Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) bears some resemblance to Batman. Additionally, Tek Knight from “Gen V” is portrayed as a billionaire playboy with the ability to detect minor details, much like Batman does in solving crimes.

Marvel isn’t exempt from satire either; Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), a distorted resemblance of Captain America, is the most evident example. However, The Boys has also skewered characters like Ant-Man, Reed Richards, Spider-Man, Daredevil, and many others. As the series concludes with its final season, there’s ample opportunity to continue poking fun at Marvel’s elite. Here are our ideas for who could be next.

4) Iron Man

In a stunning turn of events, the Marvel Cinematic Universe transformed Iron Man from a relatively minor superhero into one of the most prominent and adored characters within the Marvel universe. Consequently, it’s no surprise that The Boys are set on dismantling him. Since Iron Man’s abilities are primarily technological (much like Batman), the show might need to think outside the box to link him with Compound V, the substance that grants superpowers. An intriguing possibility could be turning him into an exceptionally gifted inventor with a touch of the supernatural, somewhat resembling Forge from the X-Men.

Transforming Tony Stark into a character more like a boy could primarily focus on the aftereffects or unintended consequences. It’s quite likely that in any television adaptation, this version of Stark would continue his interest in manufacturing and marketing weapons for military use across the globe, just as his Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart does.

3) Hulk

It seems there’s an ordinary man transforming into a more aggressive version who has managed to evade the attention of the team from “The Boys,” given the potential for immature humor and excessive violence associated with characters like Hulk. The series is known for its heroes nonchalantly dismembering and annihilating people, and Bruce Banner’s alter ego undoubtedly possesses those capabilities.

Could we imagine a scenario where he inadvertently pushes someone against a wall by casually opening a door? Or perhaps he might be oblivious to another person’s presence if they’re already seated somewhere, not realizing it until it’s too late? It’s also possible that the drug known as Compound V has given him an exaggerated physicality, potentially leading to issues similar to those associated with steroid use.

Characterized by Marvel as one of their most recognized figures, Hulk’s screen time within their cinematic realm has significantly grown his legion of supporters. However, the world of “The Boys” offers an intriguing possibility to bring him back to earth.

2) Black Bolt

In a playful twist, if a character in The Boys series were based on Black Bolt’s voice, the only way to ensure his dialogues don’t prove lethal would be through excessive use of profanity – a fitting choice given the show’s affinity for adult humor and explicit language. To put it another way, due to the deadly nature of Blackagar Boltagon’s voice, our character must be irreverent, relying heavily on colorful language in order to prevent a catastrophe.

An alternative perspective could be that his power might increase as he curses more frequently, though reaching the level of intensity shown by Billy Butcher’s frequent choice of strong language towards his adversaries could prove challenging for him.

1) Throg

In the comics featuring Thor, Loki transformed Odinson into an amphibian while still retaining his divine powers. This concept of a miniature, powerful creature is irresistible to The Boys, as indicated by their previous introduction of enhanced animals in season 4 (episode “Beware the Jabberwock, My Son”). However, what if these creatures could speak too?

In a fictional adaptation, Throg could be portrayed as an experimental subject for Vought International’s development of enhanced versions of Compound V. This experimentation led to the creature developing human-like intelligence, possibly even thinking it is a divine entity among animals.

The humor in a minuscule creature boasting immense power, capable of poking small holes in people, is considerable. You can almost imagine him delighting in such actions.
