The Boys
Summary
The Boysis no stranger to put its characters through the meat grinder ( both literally and figuratively ) , with tragical backstories being something of a keystone throughout the intact series . Hughie ’s lady friend was killed by A - Train , Butcher ’s liveliness was ruined by Black Noir , the Female was mutated and imprison at a immature age , andThe Boys ’ Frenchie might not even be Gallic . However , there ’s one ancestry story that would have been the most tragical of them all , if Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson determine to keep Mother ’s Milk as a 200 - yr - old ancient supe .
It ’s revealed inThe Boys Omnibusthat MM was in the first place a supe who was 200 age old . This was confirmed in the backmatter of the book , where other draft and government note of characters and storyline were printed for the first time . According to those Page , MM was in secret ancient , having been suffer a supe centuries ago , and no one knew it but Butcher .
While the version of MM fan got inThe Boysisn’t too far off from this early idea - as he ’s still a natural yield supe ( with just one pretty perfect caveat ) - he ’s not 200 twelvemonth older . But , what if he was ? Based on what was revealed in the Omnibus , virtually everything else about him was the same , just his eld was changed . Therefore , if that age - alteration did n’t occur , then MM ’s story would have been infinitely distressing - and it ’s all because of his daughter .
The swelled reveal of Black Noir ’s true identity contains a supposed plothole , since Homelander has x - ray sight , but The Boys comic already fixed it .
Janine, MM’s Daughter, is Also a Supe in The Boys (with a HORRIBLE ‘Superpower’)
As discover inThe Boyscomic series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson , MM ’s daughter , Janine Wallis , inherit superhuman power from her father . However , her power are n’t ones that Vought - American would ever want to advertise , as Janine ’s abilities are n’t really ‘ power ’ at all , her body only ages at a faster rate than her head .
The nature of the superhuman abilities in MM ’s family has always been more of a curse than a blessing . MM ’s female parent was subjected to Compound V while put to work in a factory that ignored safety regulation . This exposure is why MM needs to drink his mother ’s breast Milk River in monastic order to maintain his superhuman strength and keep himself alive . And Janine is the latest member of MM ’s family who has been cursed by Compound Little Phoebe mutation . Though if MM were 200 years old , their situation would be much worse .
The Boys’ MM Being 200 Years Old Would Make His Relationship with His Daughter Tragic
MM and his daughter, Janine, would have had opposite powers if MM was ancient!
Janine has the mind of a 12 class old with the trunk of a 16 - 17 year old . Her genuine age matches that of her mind , but her body ages at a truehearted pace , which indicates that she ’s destined to live a shorter life than average humans . In essence , Janine would have had the diametric power to her beginner if he was ancient . This would have put a major form on their relationship - more so than it already is . Indeed , how could a man trapped in middle - age at 200 years quondam relate to someone who is aging at a super degenerate pace ?
To be clear , MM ’s relationship with his daughter is strained inThe son , even without him being 200 years old . However , if he was ancient - which the backmatter ofThe Boys Omnibusrevealed was his original origin account - then that human relationship would be even regretful , which would make Mother ’s Milk ’s backstory inThe Boyseven more tragic .
