** Somewhat confirmed. Tek Knight does appear in ''Series/GenV'', though portrayed by Derek Wilson instead of [=McHale=], and mostly does not resemble his counterpart in the comics; he does not seem he possess any sort of powered armor or technopathic abilities, instead coming across as more of a LivingLieDetector type (like ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}) and is the host of a true crime reality series.



** Confirmed by his appearance in ''Gen V'', but he is portrayed by Creator/PaulReiser instead of Campbell.

[[WMG: Frederick Vought is still secretly alive somewhere, as a SealedEvilInACan]]
Maybe I'm drawing inspiration from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'' where likewise [[spoiler: it was revealed that the GreaterScopeVillain MadScientist that is responsible for the current world and thought to be long dead ended up still being alive]], but it also makes sense where Vought is seen as a stand-in for both Marvel and Disney, and likewise there are those infamous rumours of Walt Disney being cryogenically frozen.

[[WMG: There will be a new Speedster who is a TakeThat towards Creator/ErzaMiller]]
Maybe Jetstreak from the comics. A-Train will either die or leave the Seven, so Vought scouts Jetstreak as a replacement. Unfortunately, he will have a well-documented history of violent behavior, kidnapping, and running from the authorities. However, he has dirt on Vought that keeps them from firing him.

Sure, Firecracker can use guns, but that does not mean she cannot have additional powers unrelated to Improbable Aiming Skills.

[[WMG: Alternatively, Firecracker will have ImprobableAimingSkills as well as fire manipulation as her powers.]]
She could be a firecracker in more ways than one, both in that she's wild with her use of guns and her literal pyrokinesis. Plus, just because she uses weapons does not mean that she could have separate powers that do not involve use of weapons.

Unlikely; her costume includes bandoliers and an icon depicting a handgun and a stick of dynamite, which points to her being a DistaffCounterpart of Gunpowder.

[[WMG:Which may mean, Firecracker will be a "pupil" of Gunpowder, admitted in part into the Seven as a tribute to him]]

* Crimson Countess, who, due to the more grounded universe, has slightly less flashy powers, and more something along the lines of gravity manipulation. She'd be portrayed as a Main/CloudCuckooLander with a slight bit of Main/AxCrazy to tease a bit more of an arc later. Creator/MargaretQualley would be perfect for the role.

* Starlight's already working with Boys to tear down Vought , Homelander kicked A-Train out of the Seven just because he makes the team, more specifically Homelander, look bad, and outed Maeve's sexual identity to the world. While we don't know what Black Noir is planning, he may play out similarly (but not identical) to his comic book purpose. The Deep would likely go along with taking down a corrupt leader for publicity and looking good if the others decide to turn tail. Homelander's slowly giving all of them motivation to take him out, even if it'd be difficult to do.

There's just no way any kind of gene-altering but fundamentally naturally produced serum could bestow the vast array of powers we see among the supes (telekinesis, invisibility, super-speed, weather manipulation, shapeshifting, all the shit Homelander can do, etc.) . Compound V is probably something like Wotan's Blood from ''Über'' ; some kind of eldritch substance drawn from God-knows-where by some kind of desperate Nazi occult ritual in the dying days of the war. In all likelihood Vought himself hardly understood what it was, and his company today doesn't understand it any better. It would also explain why with a very few exceptions, pretty much all supes are rather detestable human beings. The stuff rots the soul as it enhances the body.

** Doubtful, they did not do a TakeThat on the Far-left regarding the Dawn of the Seven, it was more a TakeThat against corporations playing fake social-awareness and acceptance in order to sell a product. Hence Vought trying to sell Queen Maeve as an [[NoBisexuals empowered lesbian despite her being bisexual.]] Because main stream America that they are selling a product to found bisexual's "confusing." Also, it was not a TakeThat against the Far-Left but seemingly a tongue in cheek TakeThat towards the MCU \DC movie franchises and their manufactured [[{{Narm}} moments of grandeur.]] Plus they already did a radical female villain this season, albeit more fascist then feminist with this version of Stormfront. With that out of the way they seem to have already set up the main plot for next year, corporate and political conspiracy and Vought's move into the corridors of power.[[spoiler: Especially if Congresswoman Neuman has been working for them the whole time.]]

* Seem's highly unlikely because there would be no reason to add such a character, no point. Not only that they already had such a character and devoted time to such a character, who used fake feminism to dogwhistle their racism. Also while the Boys is more [[PragmaticAdaptation practical in the adaption of the comics]] they do have characters and themes from the comics to use to further the story. Adapted for the modern age and used more practically and organically. There is no such character in the comic so no need to have one again. The show has only nine episodes, and a lot of characters. The show runners so far has shown no interest in such a {{TakeThat}} instead targeting, alt-right, branding, mega corporations utilizing movements for profit and utilising faith based organizations for clout. Also they already had such a character in Stormfront, they have no reason to add another story wise as it would serve no purpose.

* Doubtful, while superheroes based on Norse mythology, German mythology , Swedish themes etc did turn up in the comic. They where based in America as Vought was the only company with Compound V , therefore the only company that could make supes. Which is why in season one and two they did not show superhuman perspectives outside of the states regarding supers in the military. As the only superhumans in existence where Vought exclusive. In fact the reason that Stormfront was about to sow so much fear was the American citizens dealing with superhumans that where not Americans, playing on the fear of the "other". It is also the reason Vought is so powerful and gets away with so much in the United States is that they provide America with something the rest of the world does not have, nor have shown to ever have. Real life superhumans, which also ties in why the Christian fundamentalists loved them so much; [[FridgeBrilliance superhumans being born only in America proved that America (to them) was the chosen country of God.]]. That being said it is entirely possible that we will see other major companies overseas attempt to create superhumans with less then stellar success. Barring that it would be fascinating to see if we see Vought engage in corporate espionage to ensure that they are the worlds only source for superhumans. Including dispatching Black Noir or other supes to drop the hammer on any potential successes on their rivals part.

Originally A-Train was planning to have a form of {{Redemption Equals Death}} moment avenging his brother and dying in the process. Before that he even genuinely apologised to Hughie and intended to try and to do something right for once. Now in a twist of irony he’s back in the same position as before, still a member of the [[BeingEvilSucks Seven and under the heel of Homelander again]]. Not only that due to [[VillainousFriendship Homelander's instability of losing Noir]], A-Train's position on the Seven is more secure than ever as Homelander is trying to make the Seven appear rock solid. Before that was enough but after losing his brother's respect, he seems unsatisfied with the status quo. His disgust with Homelander and himself will lead him to being the Boy’s inside source, willing to risk death again so that he stands for something for once.
