!!Hughie's Friends, Family & Associates

[[folder:Robin Ward]]
!!Robin Ward
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robin_ward.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/JessSalgueiro

Hughie's girlfriend, who was killed by A-Train in an accident, setting the plot into motion.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: Robin Mawhinney in the comic.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: She instantly bursts into a puddle of gore after being run through by A-Train. Well, except for her hands, they're detached but still holding Hughie's hands.
* DeathByOriginStory: Her death is what makes Hughie want to fight the superheroes. It also causes him to develop a personal vendetta against A-Train, as he was the one who killed Robin by running into her at extreme speed, then lying about it by saying she was in the middle of the road when it happened, though she was only ''two steps off the sidewalk''.
* DiceRollDeath: She steps off the sidewalk while telling Hughie she's planning on buying a house, and stays there just long enough for A-Train to splatter her. If she'd stayed on the sidewalk, or didn't stay off it so long, or if A-Train was a bit closer to the middle of the road, or if he was paying more attention to where he was going... none of this would have happened.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the comic, she's crushed to death when A-Train smashes her into a wall with another superhero. In the series, A-Train runs through her, reducing her to a puddle of blood and gore on the floor.
* DisposableWoman: She basically just exists to get killed to start Hughie on his journey.
* TheLostLenore: Hughie keeps seeing her ghost out of the corner of his eye. She doesn't go away until he and Starlight have their first kiss.
* LudicrousGibs: Robin becomes a red stain on the ground after A-Train runs through her.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Without her death, this story would have never occurred.
* RaceLift: She's white in the comics, but played by Latin Canadian actress Jess Salgueiro on the show.
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: One moment, Hughie is telling her not to besmirch Billy Joel; the next, she's LudicrousGibs on the street.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Is alive for all of one scene before turning into a pile of LudicrousGibs.

[[folder:Hugh Campbell Sr.]]
!!Hugh Campbell Sr.
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/father_hugo.png]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/SimonPegg

Hughie's father.
----
* AdaptationalNationality: Scottish in the comics, American in the show (possibly downplayed as Hugh could've moved to America before Hughie's birth). Hilarious considering his son was based on the actor playing him, and one of that actor's most famous roles is that of a [[Film/StarTrek2009 famous Scotsman]].
* AdaptationNameChange: Neither comic Hughie's adopted father nor a minor villain implied to be his biological father are named Hugh.
* BumblingDad: He's awkward and too comfortable with letting Vought get away with their crimes. His behavior is borderline overprotective, as his first thought was to contact a ''pediatrician'' to help Hughie with grief counseling.
* CastingGag: Hughie in the comics was based on Simon Pegg, in both likeness and mannerisms. In this series, Simon Pegg actually gets to play the character's father.
* ExtremeDoormat: He's willing to let Vought get away with letting Robin die because he's aware that taking them on would likely end in tears. He's also aware that he's this, gently if bluntly telling his son that he's never been anything else and he doesn't see Hughie being any different. After he gets inadvertently caught in the crossfire and is given a glimpse of what Hughie has been doing with the Boys, [[spoiler:he [[SoProudOfYou expresses pride]] that his son is trying to make a difference]].
* InnocentBigot: Refers to Kimiko as an "Oriental".
* MyBelovedSmother: He babies Hughie and treats him like a child rather than a grown-up adult, which is a source of extreme aggravation for Hughie.
* MythologyGag: Hugh's physical appearance and mannerisms resemble an older version of Pre-CharacterDevelopment Wee Hughie from the comics. Even his name can be spoken as "Hughie", before the "Sr." being added after the birth of his son.
* ParentsAsPeople: A meek but otherwise nice guy, he's in a tough situation as a parent, trying his hardest to support his son despite his answers being awkward and unhelpful. He truly wants to protect his son from Vought and the Seven but he's having a lot of difficulties trying to console and understand Hughie, who saw Robin die right in front of him and A-Train not even acknowledge it and gets away with it. [[spoiler:In the end, he accepts Hughie's choices and admits how proud he is of him for trying to make a difference. In season 3, Hughie has a self-revelation about his father as he realised that his dad did everything he could to support him after Hughie's mom left. Hughie now realises that Hugh was left to raise him on his own and was going through the worst days of his life after his wife left him and abandoned Hughie, but kept smiling and did everything he could to raise his son.]]
* ShadowArchetype:
** Hugh Sr. can be arguably seen as this to his son if he never outgrew his childish outlook.
** He can also be a possible WhatIf to Wee Hughie from the comics if the latter never underwent the trauma from losing a loved one by a Supe -- even more appropriate since the comic version of Hughie was based on this character's actor.
* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler:He tells Hughie he's proud of how he's learned to stand up and became tougher in fighting against Vought]].

[[folder:Becca Butcher]]
!!Rebecca "Becca" Butcher, née Saunders
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebecca_0.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/ShantelVanSanten

Billy's beloved wife, who disappeared years ago after an encounter with Homelander.
----
* ActionMom: Had military training, claims to have outshot Billy on the firing range [[spoiler:and stabs Stormfront in the eye, doing more damage to her than three Supes did combined.]]
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Rebecca goes from a FieryRedhead in the comics, to a BrainyBrunette in the show.
* AdaptationalJobChange: She worked for Vought in the show rather than be a social worker.
* AdaptationalNationality: She's English in the comic.
* AllForNothing: She made her choice to be considered dead by her family and isolate herself from the world, all so she can raise her Son Ryan and ensure he does not turn out like his father Homelander. [[spoiler: But come Season 3, Billy's [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim actions led to Ryan being driven away straight into Homelander's arms who swiftly indoctrinating him into his]] [[BewareTheSuperman misanthropic worldview]]. Because of that, all of Becca's sacrifices have been rendered meaningless.]]
* AlliterativeName: As Becca Butcher.
* AmbiguouslyChristian: She used to own a necklace with St. Christopher.
* BuryingASubstitute: Since her body was never found, her sister put a headstone in its place so their mother has a grave to visit. Billy takes great offense, and smashes it down.
* ChekhovMIA: She disappeared eight years prior to the timeline of the plot. Police NeverFoundTheBody. [[spoiler:Then she reappears in the last scene of the first season]].
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the comics, she died [[spoiler: when her superpowered ChildByRape tore its way out of her. Here, it's revealed that she survived and is raising the child, but she's killed in season 2 rescuing Ryan from Stormfront.]]
* DifferingPrioritiesBreakup: [[spoiler:By "Nothing Like It in the World", she refuses to be with Butcher in order to raise Ryan, while he wanted to abandon the boy so that he and Becca could be together again.]]
* DisposableWoman: [[spoiler: She's killed off in season 2]] in order to further Billy and Ryan's character arcs.
* DrivenToSuicide: Officially, according to the police.
* GoodParents: [[spoiler:To Ryan. She makes sure to give him much love and care, sacrificing her previous life to be a good role-model for him. Even when Homelander and Stormfront try to pamper him with their celebrity statuses, Ryan prefers the mundane life that he had with his loving mother.]]
* TheLostLenore: For Butcher.
* LoveCannotOvercome: She's never stopped loving Billy, but she walked out of his life after her encounter with Homelander because she knew learning about it would have [[HeWhoFightsMonsters sent him down a dark road]]. (Too bad Mallory sent him down it anyway!) In season 2, [[spoiler:she refuses to reunite with Billy, this time because she knows she cannot have both Billy and Ryan in her life.]]
* TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife: [[spoiler:Running off with Butcher would put them in the crosshairs of Vought and harm Ryan, whom she has kept the appearance of a proper role-model for. She wishes to stay at the compound hoping to prevent another Homelander, and she refuses to risk a life with Billy.]]
* MySecretPregnancy: She hid her pregnancy from anyone and disappeared without a word from Butcher's life.
* NeverFoundTheBody: She's been missing for so long that she's presumed dead, and only Billy is convinced she's out there somewhere.
* RapeAsDrama: She went mute and then disappeared after being raped [[spoiler:and impregnated]] by Homelander.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: We don't get to know much about her outside of being Billy's wife and Ryan's mother. Shantel Van Santen, however, does an admirable job of breathing life into the character for the little screen time she has.
* StepfordSmiler: Imprisoned in a StepfordSuburbia surrounded by high walls and monitored by CCTV cameras inside her own home, she just concentrated on raising her son and imagined she was [[Series/TheBradyBunch Carol Brady]].
* TurnOutLikeHisFather: [[spoiler:Rebecca made a deal with Vought to have her and Ryan secluded into a safe haven where she can raise her son properly, never seeing Homelander ever again. When Homelander returns anyway, she refuses to run away with Billy for fear that Ryan will fall under his father's influence if she just disappears from his life.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: The nature of her character as Billy's motivation and the circumstances regarding her disappearance is a major factor in the series.

[[folder:Sam Butcher]]
!!Sam Butcher
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/father_butcher.png]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/JohnNoble, Creator/BrendanMurray (Young)

->''"It's a shit world out there. You count on no one but yourself. You either sink, or you swim."''

Billy and Lenny's abusive father, and the man responsible for turning Billy into the monster he is today.
----
* AbusiveParents: He beat his sons a lot, claiming it was to make them strong and tough enough to survive in a world he saw as merciless. In truth, it's because he's a sadistic bully. Even worse is that he expects Billy to be thankful for it.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Relatively speaking. He's still an abusive father, but unlike the comic, there is no indication his abuse extended to his wife as well.
* BaitTheDog: He tricks Billy into a meeting and begs him to stay when he turns to go seemingly because he's dying and wants to use his last days to make amends with his son for his actions. The meeting instead turns into a cavalcade of excuses and insults to both Billy and Lenny, and he makes it very clear that not only does he not regret a damn thing, but is actively proud of it.
* CardCarryingVillain: Despite his claims that it was for their own good, he clearly enjoyed beating his sons and smiles when Billy calls him a monster.
* CastingGag: A shitty father who prefers the older and more masculine son over the gentler, younger one? He's definitely [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Denethor]]. Bonus points since Creator/KarlUrban was also in that series as Eomer.
* TheCorrupter: He is this to Billy, as his trip through Mindstorm's nightmare shows he is taking in a lot of his father's toxic, abusive traits.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the ToughLove, SinkOrSwimMentor father. Sam claims he beat his sons to make them stronger, but it's presented as nothing more than toxic masculinity at best, and an excuse to beat and torment his sons at worst. On the SinkOrSwimMentor side of things, it shows what happens when this type of person gets someone killed, he shows no remorse for his son Lenny's suicide.
* HateSink: With his blatantly abusive relationship towards Billy and Lenny and feeling proud of this fact as it meant toughening up Billy to be a "real man" as well as not showing any remorse over contributing to Lenny's suicide, he comes off as among the vilest characters in the series.
* {{Jerkass}}: He is an abusive bully to his sons.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: For all his bluster about how it's sink or swim world and toughening them up, it's clear Sam is a nothing more than a bully who deluded himself into believing he's a tough but fair father.
* LackOfEmpathy: Shows absolutely no remorse for driving one of his sons, Lenny, to suicide with his abuse.
* MythologyGag: Both his outfit and hairstyle make him resemble an older version of Billy Butcher from the comics.
* ParentalFavoritism: He says he loves Lenny, but it's clear he prefers Billy for being the tougher and more masculine of the two.
* PsychopathicManchild: At the end of the day, Sam is this. For all his excuses of ToughLove, he's ultimately a small man taking his rage out on his sons.
* ARealManIsAKiller: He fully believes that a man should be strong and violent.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: He believes that he is one, citing this mentality word-for-word to explain why he beat his sons. It's at best a delusion and at worst an excuse he used.
* SoProudOfYou: An extremely twisted version. Afer Billy snaps and attacks his headmaster, instead of disciplining him Sam instead congratulates, telling him that "he swam" and gives him a glass of beer as a present.
* TheSociopath: He's what Billy would be (or could become) if he didn't have his humanity.
* StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred: He badmouths Lenny for being weak, and is absolutely delighted when Billy almost kills him for it because it's proof in his eyes that he made Billy strong.
* ToughLove: He maintains that all the pain he put his sons through was for the purpose of making them strong. Billy justly feels otherwise.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: His overall opinion of Lenny, telling him that he's a "fucking little poof" and he should be more like Billy.
* YouMonster: Billy calls him this for what he put him through. Sam accepts it with a big smile on his face and replies that Billy is just the same.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: In the conversation with Billy, his son implies Sam is dying from cancer.
-->'''Billy Butcher''': You step one inch closer and I'll kill you quicker than that arse cancer!

[[folder:Connie Butcher]]
!!Connie Butcher
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mother_butcher.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Lesley Nicol

Billy and Lenny's mother.
----
* AbusiveParents: While she didn't take an active role in the abuse Sam inflicted on Lenny and Billy, she didn't seem to have done anything to help them and still continues to make excuses for Sam's behavior.
* AdaptationNameChange: Connie, rather than Carol.
* ExtremeDoormat: To her husband who she's stayed with despite all the abuse he's put the entire family through.
* HateSink: Aside from having done nothing to prevent her husband from abusing their sons (leading to driving one of them into suicide), her being obviously still devoted towards him and taking his side when it's fairly apparent that he provoked Billy into attacking him, makes her easily almost as detestable as Sam.
* UselessBystanderParent: Like previously mentioned, she does nothing to stop her husband's physical and mental abuse of her sons, even when it reaches the point of [[spoiler: driving her youngest to suicide and her eldest to join the military as soon as he's old enough to get out of the house and contemplating committing Patricide.]]
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Billy is baffled why she's still with Sam despite him being a total douchebag.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lenny Butcher]]
!!Lenny Butcher
->'''Portrayed By:''' Jack Fulton (Teen), Bruno Rudolf (Young)
Billy's younger brother.
----
* AteHisGun: Sam Butcher reveals that he committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Rather than suicide, he was hit by a car in the comic.
* DrivenToSuicide: After Billy joined the military, Lenny was left alone with their abusive father, leading him to suicide by gunshot.
* IdenticalStranger: Judy describes Hughie as Lenny's spitting image.
* MoralityChain: Was this for Billy since childhood. Only he could get Billy to quell his UnstoppableRage, with much more success than anyone else could.
* PosthumousCharacter: He died before the start of the series.
* ReplacementGoldfish: It seems that Hughie is acting in Lenny's place for Billy. During a LotusEaterMachine nightmare, the young version of Lenny that Billy interacts with the last time he saw him calls him out on his abandonment of him, Billy's {{Guilt}} over the incident manifesting through him, and making it clear that Billy does recognise the similarities between Hughie and Lenny... and like the latter, part of Billy wants to cut Hughie loose so he can indulge in his self-destructive ways without restraint.
-->'''Lenny''': You fucking knew what he'd do. It's ''your'' fault.
-->'''Billy''': No, don't say that! That's not true! I, I'm not that bastard!
-->'''Lenny''': Come off it, Billy. You always have been, 'cause anyone who's ever loved you, you end up getting them killed, don't you? Me. Becca. Now Hughie, the last person on God's green earth trying to stop you from being a monster and what do you do? [[TheCorrupter Drag him down to your level]]. When he dies, and he will, then no one can stop you. Can they? ''[puts the gun to his head]''
-->'''Billy''': [[BigNo Lenny, no! No]]! ''[gunshot]''
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The sensitive guy to Billy's manly man. The abuse hardened Billy and made him into the asshole tough guy vigilante he is today. By contrast, Lenny was a gentler soul and eventually took his own life when he couldn't take it anymore.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Judy Atkinson]]
!!Judy Atkinson
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/judy_7.png]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Barbara Gordon

Billy's aunt.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: Assuming Atkinson isn't a married man, Billy's mother's maiden name was Atkins in the comic.
* CoolOldLady: Not too fazed with Billy's antics and runs a drug-dealing operation.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She apparently had no idea what Billy was getting into.
* NeverMessWithGranny: She's a drug dealer running her operations from home, and she has no problem with having her house rigged with explosives for The Boys to take on Black Noir.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Terror]]
!!Terror
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/terrortheboys.jpg]]

Billy's pet, a Bulldog.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Unlike the comics, the only thing he rapes here is plush toys.
* AdaptationalWimp: Is Billy's AttackAnimal in the comic, but merely a beloved pet on the show.
* DeathbringerTheAdorable: Pretty adorable animal for his name.
* DemotedToExtra: Is a TeamPet in the comic, but has only a couple of appearances so far. He only appeared in a single shot of the first season.
* LovableSexManiac: Likes to hump plushies, be they of cartoon pigs or Homelander.
* MythologyGag: After giving Terror a new toy, Billy utters the famous "Fuck It" command with which Terror happily obliges.
* PetTheDog: For Billy.

!!Frenchie's Friends, Family & Associates

[[folder:Cherie]]
!!Cherie
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cherie.png]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Jordana Lajoie

Frenchie's girlfriend.
----
* EmotionlessGirl: Cherie is rarely moved into an emotional reaction, perhaps because she's SeenItAll.
** She's totally unfazed when Frenchie calls her and lets her know she needs to blow up the warehouse on very short notice, beyond a mildly annoyed "Really?"
** When Frenchie admits to kissing Kimiko, she's not surprised or jealous, only remonstrating him for thinking that would help her.
** Averted ''hard'' in Frenchie's Season 2 flashbacks where she is seen crying and extremely emotional during Jay's overdose.
** Also averted in Season 3, where Nina shows her and Kimiko the scars on Frenchie's back and tells them how he was abused by his father. She is shown to be crying at the sight of this, and for him.
* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: It's initially unclear whether "Cherie" is her name or just a nickname that Frenchie uses for her, seeing as it's also a French pet name (meaning "sweetheart"), but in season 2, Mallory refers to her as Cherie in a flashback, indicating it is her name.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She randomly caresses Hughie's face for several seconds upon meeting him, with no explanation and without even introducing herself first.
* RunOrDie: She destroys her phone and flees after letting Frenchie know he's burned.
* SeenItAll: She strongly gives this impression, based on how quickly and calmly she reacts to any sort of danger or crisis. Season 2 shows that she was part of Frenchie's crew and helped him with insane Supe-related operations and stakes before he even joined The Boys.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Jay]]
!!Jay
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jay_5.png]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Michael Ayres

Frenchie's best friend.
----
* AddledAddict: He overdosed a couple of times, the second fatally.
* BankRobbery: He helps pull at least one with Frenchie over the course of their criminal careers.
* PosthumousCharacter: He's been dead for nearly five years by the time of Season 2, having died of an overdose a few months after cutting ties with his former friends.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He cuts ties with Frenchie and Cherie when Frenchie tries to balance his work with The Boys over them.

!!Mother Milk's Friends, Family & Associates

[[folder:Monique Milk]]
!!Monique Milk
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monique_1.png]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Frances Turner (season 3), Alvina August (season 1)

Marvin's wife.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the comic, she's a drug addict who kidnapped Janine and ran off to be with her drug-dealer ex-boyfriend. She later gets Janine doing incest porn. In the show, she and Milk are SickeningSweethearts and she is the more responsible one in the relationship who doesn't want Butcher to drag him back into danger again. While she does still eventually leave him for another man, it's through an amicable divorce in this version.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: They're long divorced, and not amicably, in the comic. [[TruerToTheText Season 3 sees her divorce Marvin]], but they remain AmicableExes.
* AlliterativeName: '''M'''onique '''M'''ilk. Same goes for her actress.
* AmicableExes: In season 3 she has divorced her husband and remarried, but she still get along with him and is supportive of him getting closure about Soldier Boy.
* HappilyMarried: With Marvin, to SickeninglySweethearts levels. Later with her new husband Todd.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She doesn't think too hard about Todd being a mindless Homelander fan, which gets worse when we see that [[spoiler: Todd has become an alt-right conspiracy nut who worships him even as he murders a protestor in broad daylight.]] To her credit, she makes it clear she does ''not'' approve of Todd taking Janine to Homelander's rallies and orders him to never do it again.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Janine Milk]]
!!Janine Milk
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/janine.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Liyou Abere (season 3), Nalini Ingrita (season 1)

Marvin's daughter.
----
* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: ''Oh boy'', where to begin? In the comics, she's got an awful relationship with her father, she's rapidly aging and looks like a grown woman despite being a child, hangs out with some really unpleasant guys, and her mother is a depraved drug addict who [[spoiler:tries to rope her into shooting ''incest porn'' with her]]. Here, she's a normal, healthy young girl with two loving parents.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the comic, Janine is a BrattyTeenageDaughter. Jannine in the show is a sweet and cheerful girl.
* AdaptationalWimp: Sort of. In the comic Janine, like her father, is actually a Supe, but the only ability she ever demonstrates is accelerated aging.
* AdaptationNameChange: She's named Janine Wallis in the comics, likewise MM's real name isn't Marvin Milk, but Baron Wallis.
* AgeLift: Comic book Jannine is at least in her late teens, whereas TV series Jannine is a preteen. [[spoiler:Except that comic book Janine aged fast because of the Compound V in her body and is just a tween.]]
* CheerfulChild: She makes her first appearance by showing Marvin her drawings.
* DaddysGirl: She adores her father and he adores her back.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Todd]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Matthew Gorman
Monique's new husband, a teacher who is a fan of Homelander.
----
* AbusiveParents: He insists on bringing Janine along to Homelander rallies, which obviously infuriates both Marvin and Monique. On the surface, this is just him being stupid, but given that he [[spoiler:cheers after Homelander snaps and brutally murders a man at one of his rallies]], the whole thing becomes ''much'' more insidious.
* AllegoricalCharacter: For all the ordinary people who get sucked into conspiracy theories and personality cults by people that they blindly admire for validating their preconceptions.
* BeneathTheMask: On the surface, he appears to be a mild-mannered, somewhat passive-aggressive man who wants to be a good stepfather to Janine. On the inside, he's the kind of person so consumed by loyalty to Homelander that he's actually not all that different from him.
* BullyingADragon: Has the gall to tell Marvin, who's ex-military and twice his size, that he's a better father than him to his face. He gets knocked out in one punch for his troubles.
* FaceHeelTurn: Todd starts out as a decent man who's on good terms with Marvin, but as the season progresses, he starts to become more obsessed with [[TheSociopath Homelander]] and his personality cult. [[spoiler:In the season finale, he is the first of Homelander's supporters to cheer his murder of a protester.]]
* HateSink: Todd doesn't start off as one as he's initially presented as a fairly decent guy who gets along with Monique, Janine, and MM, though he soon starts to raise red flags when he reveals that he looks up to and supports Homelander and encourages Janine with the same interest, something which upsets MM and makes him more cautious and this problem only worsens Todd's character throughout Season 3. He becomes fully detestable when [[spoiler:Homelander kills a protester at a rally Todd attends and he reacts by applauding Homelander's actions, revealing him to be so enthralled by Homelander's influence that he's willing to support him in his worst acts.]]
* HeroWorshipper: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]], as the series goes on, Todd becomes increasingly obsessed with Homelander in spite of MM's constant warnings that Homelander is not who he seems to be. [[spoiler:By the time of the season 3 finale, Todd is so far gone that he's the first to cheer Homelander on when he murders a Starlight fan in broad daylight.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Subverted. He initially seems like one since he greatly admires Homelander, even after Homelander goes on an unhinged rant on how much better he is than everyone. [[spoiler:By the finale of Season 3, Todd reveals that he loves Homelander specifically ''for'' being a murderous narcissist.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: Has a hatred for the "mainstream media" for supposedly concealing truths that only Homelander is willing to tell. Homelander has made numerous appearances on popular talk shows and is in control of Vought's version of Fox News, ironically making his sources of information much more mainstream and corporately influenced than he claims. The similarity to Fox News loyalists is overt.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: His fanboying over Homelander greatly disturbs MM, as MM knows what a monster Homelander is.
* JerkassHasAPoint: It was hurtful for him to tell MM that his daughter needs a father, but MM has been neglectful to Janine due to him working with the Boys and then getting obsessed over Soldier Boy.
* LoonyFan: He is a major fan of Homelander, so fanatically loyal to him that [[spoiler:seeing him kill an innocent in broad daylight makes him love Homelander ''more'']].
* {{Manchild}}: Todd's admiration of Homelander [[spoiler:but goes into full-blown [[PsychopathicManchild psycho territory]] once he cheers on Homelander murdering a protestor.]]
* ObliviouslyEvil: Todd is a fan of Homelander, but he, like most of the public, isn't aware of Homelander's true persona. [[spoiler:By the time Homelander reveals his true self in public, Todd is so far gone that learning what a monster Homelander is only strengthens his devotion.]]
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: The conspiracy theory he got from Homelander that Starlight is sex trafficking children is the Supe version of Pizzagate.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He's first introduced as a mild-mannered fan of superheroes, but as he starts listening more and more to Homelander he becomes an unhinged conspiracy theorist, and by the end of season 3, [[spoiler:he cheers when Homelander murders a civilian in broad daylight]].
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: At a rally, Homelander [[spoiler:straight up murders a Starlight supporter in full view of everyone. Everyone is in shock... until Todd just starts cheering. He had the opportunity to leave or just remain silent, but instead, he showed his true colors]].
* WickedStepfather: Not intentionally, but he is pushing his support of Homelander onto his stepdaughter, greatly upsetting MM.

----

* TheCorrupter: Is this to Billy, as his trip through Mindstorm's nightmare shows he is taking in a lot of his father's toxic, abusive traits.

* {{Jerkass}}: An abusive bully to his sons.

* ARealManIsAKiller: Fully believes that a man should be strong and violent.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: Believes that he is one, citing this mentality word-for-word to explain why he beat his sons. It's at best a delusion and at worst an excuse he used.

* ToughLove: Maintains that all the pain he put his sons through was for the purpose of making them strong. Billy justly feels otherwise.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Has a hatred for the "mainstream media" for supposedly concealing truths that only Homelander is willing to tell. Homelander has made numerous appearances on popular talk shows and is in control of Vought's version of Fox News. The similarity to Fox News loyalists is overt.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the comic, Janine is a BrattyTeenageDaughter. Jeanine in the show is a sweet and cheerful girl.

* AgeLift: Comic book Jeanine is at least in her late teens, whereas TV series Jeanine is a preteen. [[spoiler:Except that comic book Janine aged fast because of the Compound V in her body and is just a tween.]]

* HateSink: Aside from having done nothing to prevent her husband from abusing their sons (following driving one of them into suicide), her being obviously still devoted towards him and taking his side when it's fairly apparent that he provoked Billy into attacking him, makes her easily almost as detestable as Sam.
