The Boys made an art form out of creating satirical parodies of famous superheroes. It starts with obvious questions like, "What if Superman were evil?" or "What if Aquaman was attracted to fish?". By the fourth season, it's pushing against every question a superhero society could inspire. It's easy to pin down most of the show's parody characters. Whether they're riffing on a comic book icon or a real person, they're rarely subtle. Oddly enough, Butcher used to be a more obvious reference, but his new developments changed his theme.
