For the Dynamite version of the character, see Soldier Boy/Comics.

Soldier Boy is a character in the third season of the Amazon series The Boys. He will be played by Jensen Ackles.

The Boys Series

Soldier Boy was first mentioned in The Big Ride. Stan Edgar told Homelander that in '44, when Oppenheimer was flailing with the bomb, Dr. Vought already had practical applications of Compound V tested in the field. This led to the fact that such heroes as Soldier Boy started to kill Germans by the dozen.

In the Comics

Soldier Boy is Payback's "elected" leader, though he yearns to join the Seven. He maintains a very innocent approach to his role, not realizing the depravity around him (never resorting to foul language or joining his team during the "Herogasm" Orgies). He also mistakenly interprets gay sex with Homelander as a test for him to join the Seven.

He has a habit of reciting the name of states while engaged in battle. It's claimed he fought in World War II, though Butcher claims otherwise and refers to this story as an insult to the people who really did. His nose is bitten off by Butcher in issue #32. He is captured alive but badly beaten by Butcher in issue #33, and is tortured for information in #34. At the beginning of issue #39 the cover of a newspaper, shows there is a funeral being held for Soldier Boy.

It is later revealed that "Soldier Boy" was a legacy title. Two earlier Soldier Boys have existed, both the leaders of their team. The original's decision to send the flyers of the Avenging Squad (a prototype for Payback) to scout for Germans - without authorization or awareness of military tactics - led the Waffen-SS to a US Army camp, causing a massacre of both the Avenging Squad and the American soldiers they were supposed to assist. He was mortally wounded by the attack and killed by Mallory.
