What do you think of my ideas to rewrite The Boys?

Apart from writing the characters to be written consistently and with natural cause and effect to their actions, I feel that The Boys is ultimately a parody of real life culture which actually goes hand in hand with the superhero genre. Superman was an allegory for jewish immigration, Wonder Woman to reflect the strong woman rise of the 40s. Using the concept of corrupt superheroes to reflect how bad people are in positions of power and seen as heroes is perfect for this story.

First off is Tech-Knight. I'm giving him a complete overhaul from the show. Born 1972, Robert Vernon was the son of wealthy industrialist Mortimer Vernon, who accepted Vought’s offer to inject his son with Compound V. His father eventually began to demand more and more of Vought, until they sent Storefront, then known as Saving Grace to assassinate him and his wife on their way home one night in 1983.

The event traumatised Robert (he was in the back of the car when it happened) and he vowed to destroy Vought for what they did. His ability eventually manifested in the form of high intelligence and he used it along with his money to build a highly advanced suit of armour. Over the years he took in apprentices such as Pigeon, Batette and Web Weaver to serve as his soldiers in his campaign against Vought. He subjected them to brutal training, such as only giving food to whoever won a sparring match. Think All-Star Batman.

You know the controversy and general hate of Bruce Wayne x Barbara Gordon? Well in my Tek-Knight rewrite, Batette, my analog for Batgirl in The Boys universe, ended up in an on again of again sexual relationship with Robert, that eventually resulted in a son, my Damian Wayne analog in this universe.

When we meet him in season 2 he's a washed up recluse and due to depression and unresolved trauma of his parents death he’s become a heavy drinker which made him abuse his wards even more, causing them to leave. The pressure on the Gov and Vought forces him to stop his crusade against them. He only snaps out of his stupor when he sees Stormfront, his gut telling him she's his parent's killer.

I also had an idea for a parody of Power Girl with a character called U.S Angel. She's as strong as Maeve and can fly and yet is only used for smaller PR stunts. Vought could also have pressured her to wear revealing clothing and get breast enlargements or lip fillers. Alternatively this could reflect how American women adhere to the "patriarchal contract" in the US. Also if she does get those implants I wouldn't put it past Homelander to try and get at them through less than consensual means.

Then there's my idea of Hughie going after and taking down Web Weaver by himself in season 2 to show how far he's come from episode one.

As for The Boys:Diabolical, which I think is a great and entertaining way to expand on The Boys Universe without juggling the overarching narrative of The Boys show.

I plan to parody celebrity families, like the Jacksons and the Kardashian's, with my stand in for the Fantastic Four, the Fantasticals. On top of that I want my stand in for Reed Richards, Hypermind, to parody Elon Musk. He's also replacing Sage. Imagine how wild it would be to see Diabolical episode with Incredibles style animation combined with the classic gore of The Boys. I also see this replacing the Nubian vs Nubian episode and I'll explain why in a moment.

Another episode could parody institutions taking advantage of "gifted children" and being a pipeline for child celebrities with a G-Men episode in the 60s. John Godolkin calls his top graduates (Five-Oh, Silver Kincaid, Critter, Cold Snap and Divine) the G-Men as a way to state to the world "look how good this school is!! Look at this amazing hero team I produced!"

I was also thinking subsequently in this episode we could explore how Black people were treated by Vought in the 70s. I was thinking Tempestra (Storm parody) is apart of the second class to graduate Godolkin alongside Groundhawk, Stacker and Europo. With her alongside Nubian Prince we can show just how cruel and exploitative Vought is by taking advantage of two people who aren't bad, but in such a bad situation they have no choice.

Finally an episode where Grace Mallory partners with Walter Milk and takes on Vought's premier superhero team of the nineties would be a golden opportunity to explore here character and examine Vought's history from decade to decade. The team is called Heroworks and is a parody of how superheroes in the 90s were trying to be super edgy and dark and consist of parodies of the Crow and Spawn
