What Happens To A-Train In The Boys Season 3 Episode 6
WARNING: Spoilers ahead for The Boys season 3, episode 6
Has Jessie T. Usher's A-Train run out of steam in The Boys season 3, or can he get back on track? Since The Boys began, A-Train has raced from one disaster to the next — killing Robin, fired from the Seven, losing the use of his superpower, etc. A-Train's fortunes have shown little improvement in season 3.

A-Train's sole redeeming arc in The Boys season 3 is his earnest attempt at holding Blue Hawk to account for over-policing Black communities, kicking up enough fuss for Vought to arrange a public apology.

A-Train's brother is one of his many victims, emerging from the ill-advised meeting with life-changing injuries. The Boys season 3's «Herogasm» episode finds A-Train on the warpath, seeking revenge against Blue Hawk. He drags the racist to his death using super-speed… but then promptly collapses, clutching his chest as he falls.
