It turns out that the time he spent with the Russians didn't kill him, it made him stronger, and they gave him the power of energy blasts that don't just kill people, they apparently nullify the
Released from his metal casket, Soldier Boy attacked the Boys with a strange energy power he definitely didn't possess back in 1984. Likely the result of scientific fiddling, this radioactive blast doesn't just knock its target through a concrete wall, it nullifies Kimiko's Compound-V gifts completely.
Unlike the comic series, Marvin T. "Mother's" Milk, primarily known as MM, is depicted as a regular human (though still a military veteran) with a dislike of Vought and its Supes resulting from a car crash caused by Soldier Boy in MM's youth, which killed his mother, uncle, and grandfather, and led to his father ...
Kimiko's comic book ending - dying at the hands of a rampaging Billy Butcher - makes her exit in The Boys season 3, episode 4 even more unlikely. Compared to her original ending, falling after a single torso-blast from Soldier Boy could only be considered a disappointment.
As a young man, Soldier Boy helped good triumph over evil in World War II. However, it is not made clear how much of that is true, as The Legend claimed that his participation in the war was Vought propaganda whereas Stan Edgar actually claims the opposite by stating that he killed germans by the dozens.
Like his teammates, he was habitually abused by Soldier Boy, and at one point filed a complaint to Vought to be removed from the team. Additionally, rumors started to spread that Soldier Boy molested Gunpowder under his care, but the latter states that his mentor didn't touch him like that.
But in actuality, Soldier Boy was betrayed by his team for his constant abuse towards his teammates and was sold out to the Soviets in Nicaragua to be brought to Russia to be tortured and experimented on for many years to come, until he was rescued by the Boys in 2022 to aid them in taking down Vought International and ...
After being exposed to Compound V, Kimiko was turned into a weapon that was partially immune to harm, as she's able to heal from injuries like no one else on the Boys' Supe-hunting squad.
Frenchie and Kimiko's love transcends typical barriers of social convention - a perfect fit for two characters accustomed to being outcasts.
He is described as having a strong connection with both Female and Billy, however, he has killer instincts and his anger is hard to reign in once provoked. Similar to Female of the Species, the Frenchman's use of Compound V has given him abilities such as increased strength, smell and increased durability.
In The Boys comics, Mother's Milk is a supe named Baron Wallis who joins the team after accidentally killing a man in a boxing ring. His nickname derives from the fact that he depends on frequent breastfeeding from his mother, due to being born with traces of Compound V in his system.
Mother's Milk's mysterious codename was given to him due to the fact that the Compound V in his body forced him to continuing nursing from his mother at a bizarrely advanced age, possibly even to the present.
Soldier Boy arrives, and we quickly learn that it was none other than Crimson Countess and the other members of Payback who betrayed Soldier Boy and turned him over to the Russians. Fueled by vengeance, Soldier Boy asks her how much the Russians paid her. To his shock, she tells him that they didn't pay her anything.
Kimiko is hit with one of his blasts before he runs off and is badly injured. Come the end of the episode she is bleeding out in the back of a van, unable to heal herself like usual because she has no more Compound V in her body.
In Season 2, Kimiko actually hugs Starlight as a way of thanking her for this noble course of action... even though she was passed out and had no idea of knowing who saved her unless she was told about it later on off-screen.
The show doesn't definitively say whether Kimiko is physically incapable of speaking or psychologically unwilling. However, her use of a mobile phone to converse in season 3 suggests that her muteness is more likely a repercussion of the trauma she suffered as a child.
“The Boys” showrunner Eric Kripke backed up the actor's sentiments, explaining the kiss was more about getting Frenchie and Kimiko to a place where they — and the audience — finally realize what they truly are to each other. “So far, my impression of the audience is that they really want those two to get together.
When Frenchie doesn't deliver, she orders for her men to capture him. Nina handcuffs Kimiko and Cherie to chairs as she enters the room with a naked Frenchie. Nina humiliates Frenchie by revealing the origins of different scars on his body. Nina then orders Frenchie to choose who will live between Cherie or Kimiko.
Originally referred to simply as "The Female," Kimiko is a literal silent assassin who gained superhuman strength and regenerative powers after being forcibly injected with Compound V by Vought to create super terrorists for their superheroes to fight. She also became mute after her mother was killed.
Kimiko is the strongest hero of The Boys, with heightened levels of superhuman strength, durability, speed, and reflexes. She also possesses an accelerated healing factor that allows her to heal almost as fast as she's injured.
Since Black Noir's scars are not fully healed more than 30 years after Soldier Boy's attack, it is quite clear that there are limits to his healing abilities.
Originally Answered: Is Soldier Boy more powerful than Homelander in the boys? No. Homelander is more powerful, but Soldier Boy is nearly on par. Though maybe his radiation blasts are more powerful than Homelander.
Noir, deep down, is a traumatized and scared little boy, feeling ashamed about his past with Soldier Boy due to the abuse he inflicted on Noir, to the point he chose to run and hide leaving behind Vought and Homelander.
Just like the other supes, Black Noir was tired of Soldier Boy's abuse, but the turning point came via an offer from Stan Edgar.
Yup, Soldier Boy is Homelander's biological father. Suddenly all these daddy issues make a lot more sense. This character element isn't from the original The Boys comics, but was something Kripke and the writer's room came up with for the show.
