00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the times Huey proved he

00:09could be just as tough as the rest of the boys.

00:12There will be spoilers ahead.

00:22Number 10.

00:23Gets captured so he can rescue M.M. and Frenchie.

00:27The explosive season 1 finale sees half of the boys get caught by Vaught operatives.

00:32Butcher is too busy with his revenge quest to do anything about it, but Huey is determined

00:38to rescue them.

00:48He comes up with a pretty brilliant plan, allowing himself to get captured in order

00:53to help them bust out from the inside.

00:56He even takes one on the chin, literally, in the process.

01:09Huey deserves plenty of flowers for bravery and loyalty, but we also need to talk about

01:15how smart he is.

01:16His talent for problem solving has gotten the boys out of more than one sticky situation.

01:24Number 9.

01:25Distorts Ezekiel.

01:36This was one of Huey's earliest badass moments.

01:39The boys have video of the ultra-religious Ezekiel in a compromising position with other

01:44men.

01:45The plan is for Huey to blackmail him in exchange for info about Compound V, although both Huey

01:51and M.M. have their doubts about whether he can pull it off.

01:55At the Believe Expo, Huey manages to get close to the stretchy suit, but there's a problem.

02:00His phone is broken, and he has no way to play the video.

02:03However, Huey thinks fast, and instead claims that he and Ezekiel had sex.

02:14He doesn't back down, even when Ezekiel threatens him.

02:18Amazingly, this last-minute improvisation works, and the boys get the information they

02:23need.

02:33Number 8.

02:34Gets Kimiko to break his arm.

02:46Huey just can't catch a break, so to speak.

02:50At the start of Season 3, he had a job working under Victoria Newman at the Federal Bureau

02:54of Superhuman Affairs.

02:56He thinks he'll finally be able to take down Supes the right way, with the law on his side.

03:02Of course, he soon finds out that Newman herself is actually a Supe, and a pretty dangerous

03:08one at that.

03:09Huey decides to rejoin the boys, but he needs a convincing excuse to miss work, and asks

03:14Kimiko to break his arm.

03:27He even turns down Frenchie's offer of something to relieve the pain.

03:31He argues that Newman will know if he fakes being sick, but this seems like a pretty extreme

03:36alternative.

03:47Number 7.

03:48Stands up to Homelander.

03:58You have to be either really brave, or really stupid to keep your cool with Homelander in

04:03your face.

04:04After the Supe announces to the world that he and Starlight are secretly in love, which,

04:09of course, is a lie, he shows up in her apartment to needle Huey about it.

04:20But when Homelander makes an especially rude comment about Starlight, Huey has had enough.

04:26Although the two of them are no match for the roofless Supe, Huey doesn't back down.

04:31The fact that Jack Quaid is a good two inches taller than Anthony Starr makes him look that

04:36much more badass in the moment.

04:46Number 6.

04:47Saves his dad from A-Train.

04:55Huey has added out for A-Train ever since the speedster accidentally killed Huey's

05:00girlfriend in Episode 1.

05:02When A-Train takes his father hostage, Huey doesn't hesitate to rush to the rescue.

05:07He manages to get his father out safely by promising A-Train a dose of Compound V.

05:13And Huey's dad has a badass moment of his own when he refuses to leave without his son.

05:30Meanwhile, Kimiko is waiting in the wings to take down A-Train.

05:33Huey later impressed us again by actually helping the speedy Supe.

05:38When A-Train suffers a heart attack, he's completely open to attack.

05:43Although Huey knows the speedster wants him dead, he displays his immense courage and

05:48strength of character by giving the Supe CPR.

05:59Number 5.

06:00Helps Starlight knock out Soldier Boy.

06:08Sometimes, the most heroic thing you can do is help the people around you reach their

06:15full potential.

06:16When the boys face off against Soldier Boy at Seven Tower, he takes them all out easily.

06:23Huey is tempted to take another dose of Temporary Compound V to get back in the game and protect

06:28his girlfriend, even though he knows it will be fatal.

06:31Instead, always the quick thinker, he cranks up the electricity, enhancing Starlight's

06:36power and enabling her to knock down the seemingly indestructible Soldier Boy.

06:43It's a defining moment for Huey, who has struggled with dating a super-powered woman.

06:51Now it seems he's finally learned how to step back and let Starlight shine.

07:05Number 4.

07:06Fights Homelander.

07:13Taking on the ultimate antagonist is always dangerous, even if you are juiced up on temp

07:19feet.

07:20Homelander has been known to drop other Supes without even breaking a sweat.

07:25Even Soldier Boy can't take him alone.

07:27When he shows up to the aftermath of Herogasm, Butcher and Soldier Boy engage him in an epic

07:33battle.

07:34Huey's temporary powers don't make him nearly as strong as the others, but as we've

07:38seen, he's never one to sit out when his friends need help.

07:48To top it off, he has to fight naked, since his clothes don't teleport with him.

07:53No matter how many times Butcher tells him to stay out of harm's way, Huey keeps jumping

07:58right back into the thick of things.

08:05Number 3.

08:06Rescues Starlight.

08:17There's no more dangerous place for the boys than Seven Tower, where a deadly Supe

08:22or a squad of Vought operatives could be around any corner.

08:26But when Starlight and her mom are taken captive, that's where Huey has to go to save them.

08:32When he finds out Starlight's been arrested, he doesn't hesitate to rush to the rescue,

08:36even convincing Lamplighter to sneak him into the tower.

08:48The mission doesn't go quite as planned, as Lamplighter decides to immolate himself

08:53right in the middle of it.

08:55But Huey, despite bleeding from a previous injury and being forced to navigate Vought

09:00without Supe backup, still manages to find and free Mrs. January.

09:05Although Starlight got out earlier because of Lamplighter triggering security measures,

09:10she still appreciated Huey's bravery.

09:20Number 2.

09:21Huey's Slices and Dices.

09:32While Huey was being shot at by villains from the Shining Light group, he severely injured

09:37his leg.

09:38After taking cover in an office, his ally Kimiko tells them they'll have to fight their

09:42way out.

09:44She gave Huey a quick tutorial on how to kill with ordinary office items.

09:53Although it looked like he'd make it out of the building without incident, he got cornered

09:57by a gunman.

09:58Huey was impressively able to leap into action and catch the enemy by surprise.

10:04And when push came to shove, he used a box cutter to slice his way out.

10:09While the kill was impressive on its own, the fact that Huey seemed almost unfazed by

10:14it later showed how strong he'd become.

10:37Number 1.

10:38Huey Campbell's Translucent.

10:40This is the point where Huey Campbell truly becomes one of the boys.

10:44After Translucent catches him planting a bug in 7 Tower, the Invisible Soup attacks Huey

10:49at work.

10:50Butcher shows up to help, but Huey is the one smart enough to electrocute Translucent

10:56and knock him unconscious.

11:06Butcher and Frenchie run through every idea they can think of to kill the nearly invulnerable

11:11man, until Frenchie comes up with a plan to put explosives somewhere they can't easily

11:16be removed.

11:25Although Translucent nearly talks his way out of trouble, ultimately, Huey decides to

11:30pull the trigger.

11:32This first kill set Huey down a path where he'd pull off more badass feats.

11:40Which moment gave you new respect for petite Huey?
