What is the V The Boys compound and how does it differ from the V24? The origin of powers

The third season of the successful Amazon Prime Video superhero series has already come to an end, and among so many doubts there is a substance that has changed the rules of the game. This is the V24, a Compound V champion that gave The Boys a tactical advantage against The Seven.

One of the biggest surprises of the Amazon Prime Video series was the revelation of the Temporary V, a substance taken directly from the comics of ‘The Boys’ but with some changes. The the main difference between compound V and V24 is its temporalitythat is, it grants any person superpowers for only 24 hours.

But first, let’s recap. Compound V is a chemical created by Vought create superhumans from birth. However, unlike the original comic, in the “The Boys” series this is for corporate use only and to sell it to the US government they create a shorter version of it, with which they can create super soldiers.

But, unlike Compound V, V24 serves to produce superheroes from ordinary humans, by injecting a dose with a syringe, which gives the wearer superhuman powers. Just like Hughie and Butcher do to take on Homelander and Soldier Boy.

What are the consequences of V24 in “The Boys”?

As Stan Edgar reveals in episode 7 of ‘The boys’, V24 causes severe brain damageAlso, between 3 and 5 doses can be fatal for those who use it. For several episodes, Hughie and Butcher can be seen bleeding from the ears and nauseated, other Temporal V side effects.

After infiltrating the Vought tower, Starlight discovers that the V24 has serious consequences for its users. That’s why Butcher urges Hughie for one last solution before the final showdown, but Jack Quaid’s character doesn’t move. And the season finale reveals that Karl Urban in “The Boys” is only 12-18 months old.

Cures have not been revealed at the moment for those who have suffered the consequences of V24, so it is likely that the fourth season of ‘The Boys’ reveals whether there is a tragic fate for Butcher, or if, on the contrary. , it will last for many more years, or perhaps it will hasten his death.
