Who’s the Grossest on The Boys This Week?


In a series where no one’s hands are ever really clean, there’s no shortage of disgusting behavior. So let’s rank it!

She would come away from these episodes morally unscathed if it weren’t for the revelation of Starlight’s bullying during her pageant days, behavior awful enough to inspire Firecracker to become a conspiracy-peddling, right-wing supervillain and, shudder, online personality. Yet she also seems kind of sweet, her monologue lamenting leaving Hughie behind sounds sincere, and her choice of bedside reading material — a Brad Meltzer page-turner — suggests she might be Hugh Sr.’s soul mate after all. Stack on top of that his mansplaining of the term butterface, his obsequiousness to Homelander, his general vibe, and the fact that he’s unfaithful to Ambrosius, and you’ve got enough to make him the most disgusting character on almost any show (though not this one).
