The Boys Presents: Diabolical reveals what The Deep has been up to since The Boys season 2 ended… and teases even rougher tides for the hero in season 3. The Deep endures a miserable time across The Boys seasons 1 and 2, and were he not completely deserving of such misfortune, audiences might actually feel sorry for him. An established member of Vought's Seven when The Boys begins, Deep's downward spiral starts when he accidentally involves a dolphin in a traffic accident, and gets outed as a sex offender by Starlight. Booted from the Seven, Deep spends The Boys season 2 trying to worm his way back to prominence through the Church of the Collective. It doesn't work, and Vought's wettest supe ends season 2 still reeking of shrimp and desperation.
Voiced by his live-action actor, Chace Crawford, The Deep's next appearance comes in «BFFs» — an episode of animated anthology spinoff, The Boys: Diabolical. The story stars Sky (voiced by Awkwafina), who finds a stolen sample of Compound-V and gives herself superpowers. Because a regular kid like Sky knows what Compound-V is and what it does, «BFFs» must take place sometime after The Boys season 2, which is when the blue goo went public.

Though not exactly the sharpest tool in Vought's box, there's no faulting Deep's logic here. Stan Edgar will be apoplectic
