How the stars of 'The Boys' compare to their comic-book counterparts

Urban, who's from New Zealand, puts on a cockney accent for his portrayal of Butcher, who's British. Butcher also has a loyal bulldog named Terror who, in the comics, follows him around almost everywhere. 

Both characters are similar in appearance, but Urban's version has facial hair. 

In the comics, Hughie is from Scotland. In the show, he's an American who works as an electronics salesman before Butcher recruits him for his rag-tag vigilante group. 

Quaid's Hughie is clean-shaven and had more hair than his comic-book counterpart. 

Both versions of the character often feel guilty about their immoral actions and decisions made as part of their work in the Boys. 

Starr's "Boys" costume takes plenty of inspiration from his comic-book character, from the gold eagles on the shoulders to the striped cape that emulates the American flag. 

Homelander's psychopathic nature is touched on in the comics, but it's amped up to an alarming rate in the TV series. 

Starlight can absorb electricity and emit energy blasts from her hands. 

Just like her comic-book character, Moriarty's version of Starlight hails from Des Moines, Iowa, where she was part of the supe group known as Young Americans.

In the show and the comic books, Vought forces Starlight to swap her caped costume for a more revealing bodysuit with a plunging neckline.  

In the comics, you can barely see The Deep's face because of the antique diving helmet that he wears. In the show, Crawford's green costume is slim-fitting and omits the headgear and large cape from the comics.

The Deep also has a more substantial role in "The Boys," whereas he's a less active and relevant character in the source material. 

In the comics, Queen Maeve is blonde and often seen with a martini in her hand. In the show, she has reddish-brown hair.

Both versions of the supe wear armored costumes, but the colors are different. In the source material, her outfit is purple and silver. In the series, it's burgundy and silver. 

In the show as well as the comics, A-Train was part of the young supe group called Teenage Kix before joining The Seven. 

In the source material, he's a much more inexperienced supe and mainly interacts with fellow Seven member Jack From Jupiter.

The character doesn't speak, but he's stealthy and skilled with knives. 

In the show and the comics, Mother's Milk is cool under pressure and pragmatic. He's also extremely meticulous and values cleanliness.

In the series and the source material, Frenchie's dialogue is a mix of French and English. Frenchie's signature accessory is the goggles, which he also wears sometimes in the show. 

In the comics and the show, she's referred to as The Female. Season two of "The Boys," revealed her name and more about her origin.

She and Frenchie have a similar dynamic, with him showing empathy and compassion despite her ability to brutally murder people. 

She's introduced as the newest member of The Seven in season two, replacing the supe named Translucent. It's later revealed that she was born in Berlin, Germany in 1919 and was a Nazi who married Vought International founder Frederick Vought.

Frederick gave her the first successful injection of Compound V, they fell in love, and they had a daughter named Chloe. 

In the comics, Stormfront is also a Nazi but he's a man. He's part of the supe group known as Payback. 

In the source material, Vic is a pro-supe Vice President of the US. He's unintelligent and can't seem to speak past a third-grade level.

In the Prime Video show, she's secretly a Congresswoman who denounces supe-terrorists. In the season two finale, Victoria is revealed to be a supe who was orchestrating the mysterious head-poppings.

It's unclear how Becca and Billy met in the show, but in the source material, they first encountered each other while on a train in the UK. 

In the show, Becca worked as the senior director of digital marketing at Vought. She was raped by Homelander and forced to go into hiding in a Vought-run neighborhood after giving birth to their son, Ryan, who inherited Homelander's superpowers.

She died during the season two finale after Ryan's lasers accidentally hit her throat during a fight against Stormfront.

In the comics, she was raped by Black Noir under the disguise of Homelander and died during childbirth. 

Ackles' green-and-gold costume is significantly different from his comic-book counterpart, who has a blue outfit with stars and red armbands. Both versions of Soldier Boy are armed with a gold shield. 

In the comics, Soldier Boy is part of a group called Payback, but longs to be part of The Seven.
