Will Other The Boys Members Get Powers (& What Will They Be)?
The Boys season 3 introduces Billy Butcher's Compound-V induced abilities, opening the potential for other Boys members to follow suit and gain powers as they have in the comics. The Boys premiered in 2019 to commercial and critical acclaim, and it quickly became one of Amazon Prime's best original shows. The comic book adaptation follows William «Billy» Butcher and his team, the Boys, on their mission to expose the wrong-doings of Supes, or superheroes.
Every Supe in The Boys is created with Compound-V, a highly rare chemical concoction developed by Jonah Vogelbaum. He stole it and fled to the U.S., where it fell into the hands of Vought, a massive money-making corporation that used it to develop superheroes and turn them into celebrities. Being exposed to Compound-V as an infant, like Homelander, yields the best results in terms of the abilities bestowed. However, in the comics, a fully grown adult can also use the chemical to gain powers.

One of The Boys' biggest draws is how badly the odds are stacked against the titular group, being mostly unpowered themselves. The one exception is Kimiko, who once stood against Black Noir — a possible Homelander clone — and nearly died. The Boys season 3 looks to build upon the group and their powers, as the trailer introduces a green version of Compound-V that, when ingested, can make anyone a superhero. However, unlike in the comics, the benefits are temporary. There, all members of the Boys were already superpowered at the start, with the exception of Hughie Campbell, but whether the show will now give the other members of the Boys their comic book powers, and what they will be, are unknown.
