A-Train, played by Jessie T. Usher, is a speedster who first appeared in the very first episode of the series. He was originally part of ‘The Seven,’ a superhero team created by Vought International for publicity. For years, he followed the orders of the ruthless Homelander, but began to question things in season four, ultimately leaving Vought. In the season five premiere, A-Train emerges from hiding to rescue Hughie, Frenchie, and Mother’s Milk from a prison camp, but Homelander spots him and gives chase. A-Train swerves to avoid hitting a bystander – a direct reference to the show’s opening scene where he ran through someone – and crashes. This leaves him defenseless, and after confronting Homelander, he is killed.
