Soldier Boy differences between the comic and the series of “The Boys”: The superhero who cries

Although he was already mentioned in the second installment, it was only in the third season of “The Boys” that Jensen Ackles made an appearance as Soldier Boy, a parody of Marvel’s Captain America super soldier, albeit in the Amazon video series. Prime has had some changes from the comics.

In the third season of the Amazon Prime Video superhero series, Jensen Ackles plays Soldier Boyleader of the Payback, a group of superhumans much older than the Seven, and who, during an attack of revenge, ended up being transferred to Russia, where he was held prisoner.

The idea of ​​Los Chicos is to use Soldier Boy as a weapon against Homelanderand here the differences with the comic begin, because the character of Jensen Ackles is much more imposing, to the point that they believe that he will end the life of Patriot, even if in the original work it is Black Noir, a clone of Homelander , which is the only one capable of eliminating it.

However, that’s not the only difference between the comic and the ‘The boys’, as Soldier Boy pretends to be brave and patriotic in the comic so that his image in Payback is not affected, while, inside, he feels intimidated and even pisses on himself from the fear that each mission produces.
