00:00 I asked him, I was like, "How do you get the blood off?"
00:02 He's like, "Shaving cream and Dawn soap
00:04 "would be your best friend."
00:06 (gentle music)
00:08 - The Dalkin University is an elite training,
00:13 educational institution for superheroes in training.
00:18 So for any young superheroes that wanna reach the height
00:22 of their potential in terms of marketing and franchising
00:25 and all that stuff, that's what the Dalkin University is.
00:27 It's kind of like the Yale or the Harvard
00:30 of superhero training.
00:32 Where I come in is I play Polarity
00:34 and I'm on the board of trustees of the Dalkin University.
00:36 And my son is one of the leading students
00:39 at the Dalkin University
00:40 and I'm trying to help elevate his stature
00:42 and get his franchise up to the point
00:44 where he can maybe join the seven.
00:46 - Polarity is this big time superhero
00:49 who didn't quite make it to the seven,
00:50 but he's up there, he's up there
00:52 and his name holds prestige both in entertainment
00:55 and in the practical superhero aspect.
00:58 And Andre, he doesn't want anything to do with that.
01:00 Like he kind of, well he does, but he doesn't.
01:02 He's in his father's shadow, but he wants to step out of it.
01:05 He doesn't wanna use his name,
01:07 but he kind of has to use his name.
01:08 And he's quite a slacker.
01:10 He's a charmer, he's a slacker
01:12 and he doesn't want any responsibility whatsoever.
01:15 - Being a hero, it's not about glory.
01:21 It's about sacrifice.
01:24 (dramatic music)
01:27 - Welcome to Goodalkin University.
01:29 We've trained the best and brightest young heroes since 1965.
01:34 Goodalkin is a safe space for you to thrive.
01:39 - I think Marie ultimately, you know,
01:41 she has moments where she has to decide,
01:43 do I want to look like a hero or do I want to be a hero?
01:46 And she's chosen following the rules in moments
01:51 that have gotten her into some trouble with her friends.
01:53 But I think that ultimately she's choosing
01:55 to be a real hero and to do the right thing,
01:57 even if it is at her own expense.
01:59 Even though she's wanted more than anything
02:02 forever to be in the seven.
02:04 - The thing that makes this campus
02:07 kind of different from your regular one
02:09 is the fact that they're superheroes.
02:11 And the nature of their superpowers
02:13 means that it's a pretty volatile situation.
02:16 It's a little bit like a superhuman zoo
02:19 because you have a constraint of this kind of
02:22 academic system versus these kind of soft souls
02:26 trying to find themselves.
02:27 - The ranking system factors in all of these qualifications
02:31 for all of the students and chooses like a top 10.
02:34 And essentially the top 10 students
02:36 are the ones that are positioned to represent a city
02:39 or hopefully be in the seven.
02:41 So it's supposed to be based off of your skills
02:44 and also your social media.
02:45 They say it's like a fair system,
02:47 but like a lot of things in Vought,
02:49 it's absolutely not because then you get kind of famous
02:52 and all of a sudden you're number one.
02:53 - You could be the first top ranked freshman in history.
02:56 - I think you meant to say first black woman in the seven.
02:59 ♪ I do what I wanna do ♪
03:01 - You have a target on your back.
03:03 ♪ I go where I go ♪
03:04 - A few of us are going off campus.
03:06 Let's have a good time.
03:07 ♪ I'm sexy, I'm free and I feel ♪
03:12 - Vought, I'm still drunk from last night.
03:15 - Perfect, just take a sip,
03:16 say Turbo Rush cures hangovers.
03:17 - I wouldn't pour this on my (beep)
03:19 if it cured cancer.
03:20 - Gen V captures the debauchery and crazy student life.
03:24 The play on Gen V is obviously Gen Z
03:27 and it's like we are the Gen Z in this world.
03:30 They've done such a good job of just showing
03:32 how absolutely insane it is to be a college student
03:35 at any time, but especially now
03:37 because everything is recorded.
03:39 Everything can go on social media.
03:40 I think it's even more crazy to do something crazy now
03:43 than it was 10 years ago.
03:45 - It's been really easy sharing a character
03:47 with Derek.
03:48 When we first met, it was kind of like
03:51 we both had similar thoughts.
03:53 We both were open to talking about the character
03:56 and open to each other's opinions.
03:57 And I think with that, we just built this character
04:00 from the ground up.
04:01 We managed to just take on each other's personalities
04:03 sometimes.
04:04 It's been great having a partner like that.
04:07 - We get to first meet Luke, Golden Boy.
04:10 He is top of the rankings.
04:11 He is number one.
04:12 He is the strongest.
04:13 He's the best.
04:14 He's the most capable to be part of the seven.
04:16 And that's when we find out that Brink
04:19 has actually been grooming him
04:20 and has finally decided that he's ready for the seven,
04:23 that he made it.
04:24 - My character is Kate Dunlap.
04:28 And she has the power of coercion via touch.
04:32 That's how I've been describing it.
04:34 She touches you and she can make you do whatever she wants.
04:37 She is very fun loving.
04:39 She likes to have a good time.
04:40 She's kind of wild.
04:41 And she's very, very observant,
04:44 which has been really fun to play.
04:46 She sees everything.
04:48 And there's a lot of mystery that goes with that.
04:51 She doesn't always take the route
04:53 that a lot of the other characters wanna take,
04:56 but that doesn't mean that her intentions aren't also good.
04:59 - In "The Boys," we're seeing a bunch of superheroes
05:02 where they wound up.
05:05 We see Homelander as the leader of the seven.
05:07 We follow people like the Deep and A-Train and Starlight
05:11 as they kind of navigate their journey
05:13 through this industry, this business,
05:15 the world that they've created.
05:17 (water splashes)
05:20 - I can't stop.
05:22 I can't stop.
05:23 I can't stop.
05:24 I can't stop.
05:24 I can't stop.
05:25 (water splashes)
05:28 - I asked him, I was like, "How do you get the blood off?"
05:30 He's like, "Shaving cream and Dawn soap
05:33 will be your best friend."
05:35 And I was like, "Okay, so now it's for real.
05:38 Shaving cream's the only thing that gets it off."
05:40 - In this show, we aren't only following the Supes
05:44 in terms of their journey about becoming Supes.
05:46 We're following their journey
05:48 in terms of how they're becoming people
05:51 and how they're growing up and evolving and learning
05:54 and creating relationships and destroying relationships
05:57 and really at a core,
05:58 like figuring out what it means to be a hero.
06:01 And the thing that I think I love so much about our show
06:03 is that we don't actually really answer that question.
