A statue first seen at Stormfront and Homelander’s rally in season 2 is engraved True American, 1910-1982.

The Boys is telling the history of  Soldier Boy and the Payback team — Eagle the Archer, Tek Knight, Swatto, Crimson Countess, and Stormfront — in season 3 to give the show a chance to tackle the history of Vought in America and how this world got to where it is with  Stormfront manipulating the masses toward alt-right extremism.

One of the things I love most about the world in the comic books isn’t just how fleshed out it is, but the history of it. It goes back 60, 70 years and it’s just as fleshed out as it is today. One of the reasons that we’re getting into Soldier Boy [in season 3] and that team, Payback, is we’re interested in exploring a little bit of how we got here. Through the history of the supes, we can tell a little bit about the history of America and how we ended up in the current fraught position that we’re in. Soldier Boy gives us an opportunity to do that. – The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke to EW.

Soldier Boy and his team Payback were the seven before The Seven.

SPOILERS: What happened in season 2?

Homelander and Stormfront (Aya Cash) hooked up in an evil romance.

After Stormfront threatened to kill Billy Butcher’s ex-wife Becca in front of her son Ryan (whose father is Homelamder), the boy used his heat vision to destroy Stormfront and accidentally killed his mother, too. Homelander swooped in to take his son but Queen Maeve threatened to out him as the monster he is and Homelander flew off to jerk off.

The Boys season one and season two are available to stream in full on Amazon Prime Video.
