Did you know The Boys is based on a series of comics of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson? The comic version of Hughie intentionally looks like Simon Pegg!

In the comics, Hughie and Billy take Compound V from the get-go. Billy injects Hughie with the V without his consent initially, but Hughie eventually finds himself enjoying his power boost.

Ironically, Billy created the man who would eventually kill him. After Billy went on a killing spree in the finale of the comics, Hughie eventually ends his life. In a way, it's almost like Billy wants Hughie to kill him, to end his misery.

The television series has already strayed from the comics immensely. However, it will be interesting to see if The Boys is building up to a similar tragic Hughie/Billy storyline.

There's one thing we know for certain. If Hughie and/or Billy are going down, they're sure as hell taking Homelander down with them.

The Season 3 finale of The Boys drops on Prime Video on Friday, July 8, 2022.
