10 Exciting New Characters We're Dying to See in The Boys Season 4!

Summary

The Boys season 4 could introduce new characters from the original comics or from its spinoffs.

Speculation suggests that Tek Knight is the most likely comic character addition to The Boys season 4.

The inclusion of characters like Marie Moreau from Gen V is also possible.

The Boys season 4 is seeking fresh talent to join the chaotic world of superheroes when Amazon's TV adaptation returns. Just like previous seasons, new characters from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's original comic books will be introduced. However, for season 4, the spotlight is on Susan Heyward's Sister Sage and Valorie Curry's Firecracker, both of whom are original creations for the TV series. Rosemary Dewitt will also portray Hughie's enigmatic mother, another new addition. With numerous opportunities available, The Boys season 4 welcomes both characters from the comics and those from its expanding franchise. While it remains uncertain if these characters will appear, each one has the potential to bring a meaningful contribution to the live-action narrative or become an entertaining element in a hilariously gory moment.

8 Tek Knight

The Boys has consistently teased the introduction of Tek Knight, a notorious comic book character, throughout Amazon's TV show. However, this Bruce Wayne/Tony Stark parody has yet to make an appearance. The reason for Tek Knight's absence can likely be attributed to his excessive indulgence in inserting his appendage into various orifices. Despite this, The Boys season 3 showcased a character resembling Ant-Man, who was under the influence and mistakenly wandered into a man's urethra before returning to normal size, suggesting that anything is possible.

Excitingly, there are strong rumors that Tek Knight will finally make an appearance in The Boys season 4, and there is intense speculation that actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan will portray the character. As one of the significant figures from Ennis and Robertson's The Boys story who has yet to be depicted in live-action, Tek Knight seems like a natural addition for the upcoming season. Alongside his uncontrollable tendencies, Tek Knight brings a fascinating new dynamic to The Boys mythology, being one of the few influential supes without powers derived from Compound V.

7 SwingWing/Big Game

Content must be rewritten in English:

Big Game made a brief appearance in Amazon's The Boys TV show, unlike other characters. In the original comics, he is an important character and is one of the first superheroes that Hughie encounters as part of Billy Butcher's team. In the live-action canon, Big Game is the leader of Teenage Kix, a group that exists in the show, and is a parody of Nightwing, a well-known comic book hero. It would be logical to merge Big Game's character with SwingWing.

SwingWing is Tek Knight's sidekick, and like Big Game, he is also a satirical version of Dick Grayson. Originally named Laddio, SwingWing eventually strikes out on his own, and his storyline in The Boys season 3 could continue Queen Maeve's arc. In the comic, SwingWing is marketed as a gay superhero by Vought, even though he is explicitly homophobic. This concept could expand on Vought's exploitative marketing of Maeve's sexuality in a tasteless campaign called "Brave Maeve." If rumors are true about Tek Knight appearing in The Boys season 4, combining SwingWing and Big Game as his former sidekick would be an excellent opportunity that should not be missed.

6 Groundhawk

Although a few members have been briefly mentioned, Amazon's The Boys has mostly avoided featuring the G-Men - a comical parody of the X-Men from the comics. Similar to the character it satirizes, the standout superhero of the G-Men is Groundhawk, a furious and vertically challenged fighter with hands resembling hammers. The Boys has hinted at Groundhawk's appearance twice. The first clue was revealed in an online video called "Seven in 7," confirming Groundhawk's canonical existence. The second hint came through the character's animated cameo in The Boys Presents: Diabolical.

Considering the rising importance of mutants in the MCU and Hugh Jackman's return as a superhero in Deadpool 3, the timing seems perfect for The Boys to introduce Groundhawk. Henry Cavill, a popular choice among fans for Groundhawk's portrayal, also has availability after departing from his two major franchises. The only challenge in including Groundhawk in The Boys season 4 would be striking the right balance of comedy for a superhero with hammer-like hands. The show's more realistic approach may risk making Groundhawk appear too ridiculous in live-action.

5 Marie Moreau

Amazon will release its second spinoff, Gen V, before the premiere of The Boys season 4. Jaz Sinclair will take the lead as Marie Moreau, the leader of this new generation of supes based in Vought college. To establish a connection between the two shows, Gen V will feature several main characters from the original show, such as A-Train and Victoria Neuman. In return, Marie Moreau will have a presence in The Boys season 4. This crossover would not only enhance the spinoff but also bring a much-needed infusion of youth to Amazon's main show. Fortunately, The Boys season 3 has laid the groundwork for Marie's appearance. During Hughie's investigation at the Red River orphanage, Marie Moreau's name briefly appeared on the manager's computer records. Additionally, trailer footage for Gen V has revealed Marie's ambition to become the Seven's first Black female, providing a clear reason for her to appear in future installments of Amazon's wider The Boys franchise.

4 Blarney Cock

3 Jack From Jupiter

The story of Blarney Cock, the secret son of Queen Maeve and the Legend, has already been recounted in The Boys. In the series, Hughie, one of the main characters, kills Cock - his first superhuman encounter - by punching through him after using Compound V for the first time. This particular scene was later used in The Boys season 3 during the Russian lab sequence, and Hughie has since moved past his rookie years. However, the introduction of Paul Reiser as the Legend in The Boys season 3 and the departure of Queen Maeve present an intriguing opportunity to explore Blarney Cock's noteworthy lineage in season 4. The possible death of Maeve could bring her son's famous heritage into the public eye.

Jack From Jupiter, the most eccentric member of Ennis and Robertson's original Seven lineup, was initially not included in the live-action adaptation and was replaced by Translucent. However, for The Boys season 4, it is the opportune moment to reintroduce Jack into the group. Following a series of unfortunate events involving Homelander, The Seven finds itself with a few vacancies at the conclusion of The Boys season 3. By including Jack From Jupiter, the Seven's roster would be strengthened, all while remaining true to the source material. Interestingly, Jack's extraterrestrial background also aligns thematically with the political subtext of The Boys.

Increasingly, The Boys has evolved into a representation of western politics, where Homelander and Vought symbolize right-wing figures. This connection was particularly evident in the final moments of The Boys season 3 when Homelander received applause for publicly killing a protestor. As The Boys delves further into the culture of conspiracy theories and tests the loyalty of Homelander's followers, it would only take a small leap to introduce a character who pretends to be an alien and joins the Seven. Jack From Jupiter would not actually be a real extraterrestrial; however, it would be entirely on-brand for The Boys to witness Homelander supporters embracing him as confirmation that their UFO theories were correct all along.

2 Auntie Sis & Super Duper

As The Boys progresses, the distinction between virtuous and wicked supes becomes increasingly hazy. Initially, Billy Butcher staunchly believes that all Compound V subjects are innately abominable. However, his perception is gradually disproven by the efforts of Starlight, Kimiko, Queen Maeve, and Ryan. Thus, the upcoming fourth season of The Boys presents an ideal opportunity to introduce Super Duper and their leader, Auntie Sis. This superhero team, featured in The Boys' comic storyline, represents one of the few non-villainous groups of supes. Incorporating them into the live-action adaptation would emphasize the fallacy of Butcher's generalized condemnation of all supes.

1 Ghost

Although The Boys Presents: Diabolical was mostly a spinoff that deviated from the original comic, there are a few exceptions, such as the season finale and an episode that aligns with the comic's continuity. Among the characters, one stands out as a potential addition to the live-action adaptation. Ghost, who possesses the ability to phase through objects, becomes the only survivor of a brutal Homelander massacre in the Rick & Morty-style "An Animated Short Where Pissed-Off Supes Kill Their Parents". While the fate of Ghost remains uncertain in The Boys Presents: Diabolical, the character, voiced by Asjha Cooper, could potentially continue her narrative in the upcoming fourth season of The Boys. Both her powers and backstory hold great untapped potential.
