The Amazon Series “ The Boys, ” like the Justice League, depicts a platoon of seven superheroes known as “ The Seven. ” The platoon is headed by the most important preternatural in the macrocosm, called Homelander, while other less important bones have to willingly or reluctantly follow his orders. As ‘ The Boys ’ Season 1 began, a super named The Lamplighter had retired, after which there was an ongoing investigation to add someone to the platoon to fill the seat, and there came Starlight, aka, Annie January. still, by the end of season 1, we were certain that “ The Seven ” would noway be complete, at least not for a long period, as someone or other was getting killed, either by their adversary Billy The Butcher or Homelaner himself, who enjoys spooking people around him.
In Season 1, “ The Seven ” had nearly shrunk to four members as Translucent was killed by the boys, while Deep was removed by Madelyn Stillwell after Starlight indicted him of a sexual assault. On the other hand, A-Train had been abusively edging himself with emulsion V to amplify his powers and, in turn, got addicted to the chemical, due to which he suffered a heart attack at the end of Season 1. Fortunately, this large gap was filled by Stormfront in Season 2, who single-handedly managed the affairs of four other supes. Vought International, still, demanded to bring other supes to ‘ The Seven ’ for PR and branding purposes, so they not only appointed-train and Deep after an attack on Stormfront, but also tagged another sure named Supersonic aka Alex, to replace Stormfront after she was declared dead in Season 3.
Who Is Supersonic?
Formerly known as the Drummer Boy, Alex was an alternate- generation Mexican- American who was Starlight’s first swain in council and dated her on the Capes for Christ circuit. Alex was a part of the musical band, Super-Sweet, and their song, “ Rock My Kiss, ” was on top of the maps, but for some reason, the fascinating cute boy faded from the scene. Here-entered an American idol Reality Show produced by Vought International, whose winner would be chosen as a member of “ The Seven. ” Vought International or its PR workers were more concerned about an idol’s public standing than his superhero chops or bents, and therefore they would invest a massive quantum of plutocrat to get a superhero on board who has a hundred percent public blessing. To search for such a gift, there couldn’t be a better platform than a reality show like ‘ American Idol, ’ as in ‘ The Boys ’, people are fused to their defenses.
Alex changed his name to Supersonic and got all beefed up to amplify his chances of winning a competition and securing a place at ‘ The Seven. ’ The scriptwriters of the reality show didn’t miss an occasion to play around with Starlight and Alex’s former love affair to produce some TRP for the show. During the homestretch of the show, only three rivals were left, among whom two were going to be named for ‘ The Seven. ’ Stan Edgar had made Starlight the captain of the platoon and assigned her the authority to make selections, but soon Homelander interposed. He didn’t want another woman on the platoon as he believed they looked weak, and hence, he chose Supersonic to fill a niche andre-appointed Deep to fill another. Starlight, with a heavy heart, had to let tableware Kincaid and Moonshadow leave the show.
Is Supersonic Dead?
As soon as Supersonic came on board, Homelander started playing nasty. He noway missed a chance to note Alex and Starlight’s relationship to tease Hughie, and it worked. Hughie felt insecure as soon as Supersonic started spending further time with Starlight, but his attention got diverted when he set up a way to get relieved from Homelander ever. Queen Maeve had told Butcher of an ultimate super-gun that would blow Homelander’s head out, but to find that armament, the platoon demanded time, and Hughie requested Starlight to tolerate Homelander’s imminence for some time more. In the meantime, Starlight got frustrated with Homelander’s reflections and constant tricks to cheapen her and therefore decided to form a secret platoon that would help her fight against Homelander in the face of an exigency. Starlight first communicated with Maeve to be a part of her secret rebellion but soon believed that they demanded more supes to be on their side, and therefore, in her appetite, allowed that the new super and her boyfriend, Supersonic, could be trusted. Well, he didn’t betray Starlight but was too naive to understand the internal politics of the Vought International or the people in it. He allowed
A-train could be trusted with their little secret, and therefore, after Deep and train's argument, Supersonic tried to retain-train for their secret platoon, soon after which train ratted on Starlight and Supersonic to earn Homelander’s fidelity formerly again. For Homelaner, what he hates the most is people around him conniving against him. He wants to be girdled by people who love him, mollycoddle him, and worship him like a god. In God’s sanctum, there's no place for a rebellion, and hence to check it, Homelander severely boggled Supersonic without wasting a moment. Supersonic’s death was revealed at the end of “ The Boys ” Season 3 occasion 4 when Homelander carried Starlight to a sundeck after some event. It's at the sundeck where Starlight eventually witnessed Supersonic’s melted face and reattached leg, which presumably redounded after coming in contact with Homelander’s ray eyes.
After killing Supersonic, Homelander advised Starlight to stop her planning and conniving against him, or there would be grave consequences for her conduct. He wouldn’t vacillate to kill or hurt Hughie the way he butchered Supersonic, and there wouldn’t be anyone to stop him from doing so, especially after he'd dealt with Stan Edgar, who made Starlight the captain in the first place. nonetheless, what’s ironic in this affair is that no matter how important PR agents of Vought International try to get a complete super-team, at the end of the day, one or two members of ‘ The Seven ’ are always missing or set up dead. perhaps there's a curse on the platoon, and it's presumably called Homelander.
