Five-Oh is a minor antagonist in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys. He was a motorcycle-helmet-wearing superhero with laser vision as well as a founding member of the so-called "outcast" team (and secret sex cult), the G-men.
Background[]
Early Childhood and training as a G-Man[]
Like the rest of the G-Men, Five-Oh was kidnapped sometime in the past by John Godolkin as a child before being injected with Compound-V, which in turn gave him his superpowers. As part of his "training" in the G-Men, he was molested and brainwashed by Godolkin to be nothing more than his personal lapdog, as such was the case with all of Godolkin's victims.
Personality[]
Wearing a helmet on his head and sporting a wardrobe fit for motorcycle rides, Five-Oh is an emotionless, slightly rude, Supe. He doesn’t seem to hold many ordinary people or even other G-Men in high regard—John Godolkin especially, often criticizing Gondolkin for his narcistic pretensions and nonsensical speeches. Nevertheless, Five-Oh was somehow still fanatical loyal when the interest of the G-Men franchise were threated. His only real friend seemed to be Cold Snap, with whom he seems to have formed some sort of a friendship. As the name suggests, Five-Oh has cop-like tendencies. Mostly modelling his costume and code name after motorcycle high patrol officers, he rides a motorcycle and wears a helmet as he pretends to keep the world in order. Five-Oh openly states that money is what drives him, not justice. Like most of the White G-Men members, he is also extremely racist towards blacks.
Powers[]
- Laser Vision: He also has special goggles that can produce energy beams.
Trivia[]
- He is a parody of X-Men member Cyclops from Marvel Comics.
- Unlike the loving relationship between Cyclops and Jean Grey, Five-Oh completely despised Silver Kincaid (The Boys counterpart to Jean Grey) for being Godolkin's assassin. He even calls her a "prick-teasing bitch" after her death.
