Nightmare Fuel / The Boys

Go To

The Boys is is known for its disturbing world-building and even more disturbing imagery (be it graphic violence or sexual content). So this effect is to be expected.

See here for the TV show.


  • Issue 63: Homelander's face after he kills Queen Maeve and has Annie in his sights as a possible next target.
  • Homelander, really Black Noir, eating a baby, killing a family, in graphic, blood-soaked detail.
  • The manic grin given by Black Noir during The Reveal of his true nature as a clone of the Homelander created to kill him is pretty damn unsettling.
  • The birth of the baby resulting from Black Noir raping Becky. Unlike Ryan in the show, Black Noir's baby just violently rips itself out of Becky while she's sleeping. It's not a regular baby either, it's a levitating, red-eyed abomination who immediately tries to kill Butcher, before Billy beats it to death with a lamp stand.
  • Black Noir sexually assaulting Hughie during Herogasm. Especially because of how especially pointless it is, the fact that it happens in a dark sewer, and because the normally mute Noir whispers "good soldier" during the act, before just leaving Hughie there.
