The Boys Series[]
Season One[]
| “ | That's a fuckin' baby Supe! Chosen by God, my ass. These cunts are made in a fuckin' lab!
|
” |
After Hughie finds out from Ezekiel that Samaritan's Embrace acts as a front for Vought's illegal shipments of Compound V across the country, he directs Butcher and M.M to a local hospital that the charity is involved with. There, they discover a lab full of newborns being injected with Compound V through intravenous lines and realize that Compound V isn't just a performance-enhancer; it's what turns humans into Supes in the first place, meaning that all Supes were normal people once. One of these newborns is the Laser Baby, who is sound asleep when Butcher and M.M first enter the lab.
After Butcher extracts a small amount of Compound V from the Laser Baby's IV bag, he and M.M are suddenly ambushed by a group of security guards armed with assault rifles. In response, Butcher grabs the Laser Baby and gleefully uses the infant's powers to easily slaughter all the guards.
| “ | Now, keep your nose clean, sunshine, or I'll come back and stomp ya.
―Billy Butcher to Laser Baby
|
” |
Knowing that there won't be much time before more guards arrive, Butcher gently puts the Laser Baby back in their crib and tells the infant to stay out the trouble before he and M.M quickly escape the scene.
