The Boys' Version of Iron Man Was No Match For Butcher's Secret Weapon
Warning! Spoilers for The Boys by Dynamite Comics
To take down The Boys' version of Iron Man, Billy Butcher deployed the one weapon at his disposal he knew wouldn't mess up a crucial job, unleashing The Female on the armored Supe. In The Boys #9 by Dynamite Comics, Butcher sent the Compound-V-powered killer at Tek Knight to gain the key information he needed. The Female embarrassed him, ripping his suit to pieces impressively quickly.
In The Boys comic book series, The Female is one of the deadliest Compound V-powered people in the universe. After gaining her powers and being caged for being too dangerous, Billy Butcher freed her and welcomed her to join him to fight alongside The Boys, where she would develop a close relationship with Frenchy. On the team, she would become Butcher's muscle, as he often sends her to injure or kill Supes. The Female would play a key role in the series, being one of the few characters to appear in nearly every issue of the original run. Karen Fukuhara plays The Female (aka Kimiko) on The Boys streaming series, where the character's origin and super-abilities are similar to her comic book counterpart.
