The Boys is famous for many reasons; 1) it parodies the most-popular genre of entertainment in the world today, 2) it has Emmy-worthy performances from Antony Starr and Carl Urban, and 3) it gives us a rather realistic take on what superheroes- sorry, Butcher, Supes- would be like if they were treated how they are in the pages of Marvel or DC, in the real world. What also makes it such an enjoyable watch for us, personally, is the countless show-exclusive Supes that Eric Kripke & Co. created because each of them has a fascinating origin story, superpower, and purpose within the overarching narrative of the series. For example, within just a couple of appearances, we found out pretty much everything there is to know about Payback members the TNT twins; they’re twins, they blow stuff up by joining hands and yelling TNT detonate, and they’re both as depraved as the other and probably hate each other as much as they hated Soldier Boy back in the day, which ends up catching up to them inevitably. By contrast, Cindy is one of those show-exclusive Supes that we know nothing about. She barely has 5 minutes of screen-time, and yet, she has become one of the more popular enigmas of the series. So who exactly is she? What purpose does she serve within the story? And how exactly can she beat Soldier Boy and Homelander- two of the strongest Supes in history- with relative ease? This video will try to answer all those questions and more; this is Cindy’s Origins – Explored.
