00:07Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the craziest, grossest,
00:12and most surprising demises in the super series, The Boys.
00:20This video is heavy on spoilers.
00:23Number 15, Robin Ward, The Name of the Game.
00:31When The Boys premiered in 2019, fans of the comics knew how incredibly gory this series would get.
00:37But it's safe to say that many viewers, particularly non-comics fans,
00:41weren't expecting the super sudden death of Robin Ward in the premiere episode.
00:45The speedster member of The Seven, A-Train, was under the influence of Compound V,
00:50and literally ran straight through her right in front of her boyfriend, Huey Campbell.
00:54He learns very quickly that, when it comes to innocent bystanders,
00:57most superheroes have no qualms with them being collateral damage.
01:00Robin's shocking death sends Huey down a violent, soup-filled path.
01:04In fact, he explodes translucent in the second episode.
01:11Number 14, Peter, Payback.
01:14I want you inside me.
01:17Fans may have forgotten his name, or didn't know it to begin with,
01:20but Peter's death in the season 3 premiere is pretty hard to forget.
01:23We meet him very briefly at a party being cased by Frenchie and Kimiko.
01:27He hooks up with his shrinking boyfriend, Termite, who goes inside of, um, Peter's Peter.
01:33But their graphic scene skyrockets to beyond bloody.
01:36Termite sneezes, and unintentionally grows back to his regular size,
01:39which bisects Peter, killing him instantly.
01:42By this point, we've seen plenty of people explode,
01:45and we know the series loves a gross-out moment, particularly of the sexual variety.
01:54While this supergroup has been mentioned in The Boys a couple of times,
01:57we don't actually meet Teenage Kicks until season 5.
02:05The current lineup includes Rock Hard, Jetstreak, She-Line, and Countless Crow,
02:11all of whom are basically influencers with abilities.
02:13The Boys go to their headquarters in suburbia,
02:16where Frenchie intends to do a test run of the super-virus.
02:19He unleashes the substance, exposing Rock Hard and Jetstreak,
02:22who are immediately infected and die slow and painful deaths.
02:26Among them is Soldier Boy,
02:28whom Homelander tasked with locating the fatal virus.
02:30No.
02:33Hey!
02:37The vintage Vought hero is exposed,
02:39and appears to die with the others,
02:41but in the final minutes of the episode,
02:42it's revealed that he's still alive.
02:44I'm sorry.
02:53Number 12.
02:55Alexi Lutz.
02:56Get some.
02:57Back in season 1,
02:58A-Train's secret girlfriend and fellow soup,
03:00Popclaw,
03:01tries Compound V.
03:03As we've seen,
03:04consuming the blue substance increases a soup's strength,
03:07which is unfortunate for her landlord,
03:08Alexi Alec Lutz.
03:10Popclaw lures him into her apartment,
03:12trying to avoid paying her rent.
03:13You know,
03:16there is a world where we could come
03:23to an understanding.
03:25Of course,
03:26it helps that Alec is a fan of hers.
03:27Their intimate encounter ends in his death,
03:29and Popclaw's shock.
03:31Unlike a lot of soups,
03:32she actually feels terrible about the accident.
03:34Oh my god!
03:39Later,
03:40Popclaw is stunned again,
03:42when she meets her demise at the hands of A-Train.
03:45Number 11.
03:46Vought Scientists.
03:47Wisdom of the Ages.
03:49Homelander has proven to be indiscriminate about killing people,
03:52especially Vought employees.
03:53He ended Season 1 lasering VP Madeline Stilwell to death,
03:57but it's Season 4 where he ramps up his Vought body count,
04:00including poor crime analyst Anika.
04:02In one of the best episodes of the series,
04:04Homelander goes back to the lab where he was created and raised.
04:08He intends to get rid of the humanity he has left,
04:10by taking out the scientists who put him through torturous experiments.
04:13And then you turned up the temperature to see if you could burn my skin.
04:17You remember that, right?
04:20Your turn.
04:21He begins with Frank,
04:22forcing him into the oven.
04:23Then he targets Marty,
04:25humiliating him,
04:26lasering his groin,
04:27and crushing his head.
04:28Get in the oven,
04:29or your family goes in with you.
04:31Please, Homelander,
04:32you don't have to do this.
04:33Barbara makes it out alive,
04:34but Homelander leaves her to suffer amongst her dead colleagues and employees.
04:38You know,
04:38I really do want to share with you why I called this the bad room.
04:42Number 10.
04:43Grace Mallory.
04:44Season 4 finale.
04:46Season finales of The Boys always have multiple people perish in wild ways.
04:50However,
04:51we didn't expect former deputy CIA director and Boyce founder,
04:54Grace Mallory,
04:55to meet her end in the way she did.
04:57Ignoring Butcher's warnings,
04:59Grace tells Ryan the truth about Homelander assaulting his mother.
05:02We have it on video,
05:03and he's murdered countless more.
05:05Your father isn't who you think he is,
05:07and he wasn't having an affair with your mom.
05:09Considering he's still learning to control his burgeoning powers,
05:12her blunt approach is a bad idea,
05:14as is blocking his exit.
05:15An upset Ryan pushes Grace out of his way and into a wall,
05:19hard enough to kill her instantly.
05:20I have to go.
05:21Just stay.
05:22We'll talk it out together.
05:24I don't want to talk.
05:25We've seen him accidentally kill people before,
05:27like stunt coordinator Koi,
05:28but seeing him kill her is still surprising,
05:31to say the least.
05:32This moment also makes Butcher think Ryan might be too far gone to save.
05:36Number 9.
05:37Love Sausage.
05:3815 inches of sheer dynamite.
05:40In season 2,
05:41the boys investigate the Sage Grove Center,
05:44where they meet and fight several Supes.
05:46Here,
05:46we get an introduction to a patient with a very long and strong member that,
05:50unfortunately,
05:51attacks M.M.
05:52When we see him again at Hero Gasm,
05:54M.M. inadvertently gives him his moniker,
05:56Love Sausage.
05:57Love Sausage, huh?
05:58This was a good name for me.
06:00I like it.
06:01Come on in.
06:01In the season 4 finale,
06:03the boys are rounded up with everyone else,
06:05who will be imprisoned in the camps.
06:07Love Sausage is the soup to capture M.M.,
06:09but in the season 5 premiere,
06:11M.M. gets his revenge,
06:12and kills him with his own appendage.
06:13I'm gonna chop that thing up like a party, sir.
06:15While he only made four appearances in the series,
06:18Love Sausage will always be one to remember.
06:20Number 8.
06:21The Courtroom.
06:22Butcher,
06:23Baker,
06:23Candlestick Maker.
06:25Season 2 introduces us to Congresswoman,
06:27and eventual VP-elect,
06:29Victoria Newman.
06:30For years,
06:31she had everyone fooled,
06:32pretending to be a regular human,
06:34and not a soup.
06:35With her secret powers,
06:36she can control blood,
06:37and her go-to kill method is head-popping.
06:40Her head's getting split!
06:41Frenchy, who do you know who can do that?
06:43No one!
06:44Her head's getting split!
06:45At a Congressional hearing,
06:47former Vought Chief Scientist Dr. Jonah Vogelbaum
06:49is about to testify against Vought.
06:51He's the second person in the courtroom to lose their head,
06:54followed by several others,
06:56including A-Train's rival speedster, Shockwave.
06:58Meanwhile,
06:59Newman convincingly acts just as startled as everyone else.
07:02In the finale,
07:03she's revealed to be the elusive head-popper
07:05after exploding church of the collective chairman,
07:08Alistair Adana.
07:09Number 7.
07:10Black Noir.
07:11The Instant White Hot Wild.
07:13In Season 3 of The Boys,
07:14we finally get to know Black Noir more,
07:17notably his traumatic history with Payback
07:19and Soldier Boy.
07:20After hearing that his former teammate was alive
07:22and taking out their old crew,
07:24Noir does something we don't anticipate,
07:26and flees the tower without his tracking chip.
07:28The silent soup goes to an abandoned Buster Beaver's pizza restaurant,
07:32where his little cartoon pals help him process his past.
07:35When he's back at the tower,
07:36Homelander finds out Black Noir knew the truth about Soldier Boy,
07:39and punches right through him.
07:41Why didn't you tell me?
07:46It's a shocking death for sure,
07:48but it's also sad to see his animated friends gather around him.
07:51Making us even more endeared to Noir before he dies in the finale
07:54is just diabolical.
07:55D-d-d-d-d-don't worry, Irving.
07:58We are so proud of you.
08:01Number 6.
08:01Victoria Newman.
08:03Season 4 finale.
08:04Butcher?
08:06No deals.
08:08After Huey accidentally witnesses his boss and friend,
08:10Victoria Newman,
08:12kill someone via head pop in Season 3,
08:14she becomes a new enemy for the boys.
08:16By the Season 4 premiere,
08:18Newman is at the top of their hit list.
08:20But after Homelander takes over the election,
08:22intending to have Newman as his puppet VP,
08:24she's ready to flee with Zoe.
08:26While Huey and the boys just started to trust
08:28that she was completely on their side,
08:30Butcher uses his new super-powered tentacles
08:32to tear her in half.
08:33It's one of the bloodiest deaths in the finale,
08:36and sadly, Zoe was there for it.
08:38Without her mom,
08:39she's forced to stay at Red River,
08:41exactly the opposite of what Newman wanted for her.
08:43If I were you, love,
08:45I wouldn't hang about.
08:46Number 5.
08:47A-Train.
08:4815 inches of sheer dynamite.
08:50You know,
08:51when I carried your ass to the ER,
08:53there was a kid there.
08:56His eyes were like,
08:58holy s***.
09:02Looking at me
09:05like I was a hero.
09:07There were no screaming fans,
09:09no cameras.
09:12Nobody even knew.
09:14Except for this one kid.
09:16That felt better than anything
09:19that I had ever done at Vaught.
09:21Since beginning his redemption arc,
09:22fans have been expecting A-Train to die.
09:25In the first season,
09:26he was just another selfish soup.
09:27But in season 3,
09:29his family suffers because of his actions,
09:31making him remorseful for the past.
09:33He even apologizes to Huey.
09:35Season 4 saw him become a real hero,
09:37leaking information to free
09:38two wrongfully accused Starlighters,
09:40saving more than one life,
09:42and joining Annie in the Resistance.
09:43In season 5,
09:44he helps Huey,
09:46M-M,
09:46and Frenchy escape from a freedom camp.
09:48But Homelander then chases him into the woods,
09:50where he kills him.
09:51A-Train spends the last seconds of his life
09:53tapping into Homelander's insecurities,
09:55and laughing in his face.
09:56Take away these powers.
10:00And what are you, huh?
10:02Pathetic.
10:06Weak.
10:08Sniveling.
10:09F***ing loser.
10:10Our hero goes out knowing
10:12he actually hurt the Unstoppable Soup.
10:14Number 4,
10:15Hugh Campbell Sr.
10:17Beware the Jabberwock, my son.
10:19The boys has several characters
10:20who have gone through mental
10:21and physical pain.
10:23Huey Campbell might be one of the most tragic among them.
10:25In season 4,
10:26his dad,
10:27Hugh Sr.,
10:28has a stroke.
10:29The chances of him pulling through are slim.
10:31Out of desperation,
10:32Huey gets his hands on Compound V,
10:34hoping it could save his life.
10:36At first,
10:36it seems to have worked,
10:37but the substance can easily cause negative effects.
10:40He wisely changes his mind,
10:42but when he returns to the room,
10:43he sees that his mom injected it into his IV.
10:46Dad.
10:47I'm Huey.
10:50I'm right here.
10:55You're not Huey.
10:57He's 11.
10:58Hugh's new abilities lead to multiple jaw-dropping deaths,
11:01and his son has to help him die.
11:02The recent distance between father and son
11:05makes this scene all the more heartbreaking.
11:06What's happening?
11:09I feel...
11:11I'm scared.
11:12Hey, dad, it's okay.
11:13Hey, I'm right here.
11:15I'm right here.
11:17We both are.
11:18Number 3.
11:19Blue Hawk.
11:20Herogasm.
11:21Superheroes often have to make, like,
11:22split-second decisions
11:24when fighting crime,
11:25and I apologize
11:26if any of mine have been
11:29perceived as being
11:32racist.
11:32By season 3,
11:33it's established that A-Train
11:35isn't one for good deeds,
11:36or caring about people in general.
11:38When his brother Nate tells him
11:39about a cop-themed soup
11:40targeting minorities,
11:42A-Train agrees to take action.
11:43In a really bad move,
11:45A-Train demands a public apology
11:47from Blue Hawk
11:48and brings him to one of the neighborhoods
11:49he viciously patrols.
11:51His fake apology leads to a racist rant
11:53and even more violence
11:54toward the black community.
11:56After Nate is paralyzed,
11:57A-Train finds Blue Hawk
11:58at Herogasm
11:59and threatens him.
12:00Viewers go from cheering
12:02on the cathartic confrontation
12:03to gasping in shock
12:05as A-Train speeds off,
12:06dragging him on the pavement.
12:08You're my brother.
12:09I'm gonna get away.
12:10Not this time.
12:12Afterwards,
12:13there's not much left of Blue Hawk,
12:14but luckily,
12:15or horrifically,
12:16for A-Train,
12:17his heart was intact.
12:19Which is why you're gonna love this.
12:20Blue Hawk will live on
12:22because we gave you his heart.
12:24Number 2.
12:25Becca Butcher.
12:26What I Know.
12:27When we first meet
12:28Billy Butcher and the Boys,
12:29we quickly learn about his wife,
12:31Becca,
12:31who's been missing for years.
12:33The season 1 finale reveals
12:34that she's still alive
12:35and secretly raising
12:36Homelander's son,
12:38Ryan.
12:38In season 2,
12:40Butcher makes it his mission
12:41to get her out of the gated community.
12:42In the finale,
12:44Ryan uses his laser eyes
12:45to save his mom from Stormfront
12:46and fatally wounds Becca by accident.
12:49For Butcher to find her alive
12:50and rescue her from Homelander
12:52just to watch her die
12:53is absolutely heart-wrenching.
12:55Even if fans had a feeling
12:56about her dying in the finale,
12:57not many expected to see Ryan
12:59be the one who unintentionally
13:00takes her life.
13:01Sorry, I'm sorry,
13:02I didn't see this.
13:03Mommy.
13:05Before we unveil our top pick,
13:07here are a few honorable mentions.
13:08The Deep Aquatic's pals.
13:10Various.
13:11Ironically,
13:12sea creatures don't live very long
13:13around the fish guy.
13:18I'm so sorry.
13:24Super Sonic.
13:25Glorious five-year plan.
13:27An off-screen kill
13:28with a horrific aftermath.
13:29Then that,
13:31my love,
13:32will be Huey.
13:34Stormfront.
13:34The only man in the sky.
13:36Survived Ryan's laser blast
13:37just to,
13:38as Ashley says,
13:39million-dollar baby herself.
13:41She wouldn't,
13:42it's my birthday.
13:47Ezekiel.
13:48Wisdom of the ages.
13:50Butcher's new powers come in handy
13:51while fighting the Elastic Soup.
13:56Web Weaver.
13:57The Insider.
13:58From a disgusting interrogation
14:00to a sickening demise.
14:02Wait.
14:04Wait.

14:39Flight 37 Passengers.
14:41The Female of the Species.
14:42In the very first episode
14:44of the series,
14:45Homelander lasers down a plane,
14:47killing the mayor of Baltimore,
14:48who is the first of his many victims
14:50we'll see on screen.
14:51Aren't you guys friends?
14:56Oh my god.
15:07A few episodes later,
15:09he and Maeve rescue passengers
15:11aboard trans-oceanic flight 37
15:13from hijackers.
15:14After Homelander destroys the controls,
15:16the plane starts to descend.
15:18We're done here.
15:20Please.
15:21Everything's fine, guys.
15:23Everything's fine.
15:24You're okay.
15:25Wait.
15:25You're leaving us?
15:26No, no, no, no, no.
15:27I'm just seeing something down the back.
15:28Instead of saving anyone,
15:29he forces Maeve to leave them all behind
15:31as they scream for help.
15:32Over 120 people aboard the flight
15:35perished in the crash,
15:36including the daughter and husband
15:37of the late dean of Godolken University,
