Hughie Campbell’s Revenge: Hughie Campbell's life is shattered when his girlfriend, Robin, is accidentally killed by A-Train, a speedster member of The Seven. Traumatized and seeking justice, Hughie is recruited by Billy Butcher, the leader of The Boys, who harbors a personal vendetta against superheroes, particularly Homelander, the leader of The Seven.
The Boys Assemble: Billy Butcher, along with Hughie, Frenchie, and Mother's Milk, forms a team dedicated to exposing the corruption of Vought International, the corporation that manages The Seven. They discover the existence of a drug called Compound V, which is used to create superheroes, revealing that "supes" are not born but made.
The Seven’s Corruption: The Seven, while publicly adored, are shown to be corrupt and morally bankrupt.
