The Boys
Summary
Arguably the full point ofThe Boysis to bemock superheroes in the most grisly and insulting slipway possible , which includes shine a lightness on the fact that they , too , can be terrible the great unwashed , and given that they ’re crack , they ’d be the worst kind of atrocious . However , The Boys ’ sendup of Iron Man actually stands out in that regard , making himThe Boysmost unique fighter ( by far ) .
The Boys ’ version of Iron Man is named Tek Knight , who ’s in reality more of a cross between Batman and Iron Man , but who is easy more reminiscent of Tony Stark given his fully mechanical suit of armor ( both in aesthetic and function ) . However , there ’s one main difference between Iron Man and Tek Knight that ’s a bit perturbing : Tek Knight has an unmanageable desire to be sexually intimate with essentially anyone or anything in front of him . It ’s for this reason that he ca n’t have a chum , and does n’t even wreak with other superheroes , because he know how minuscule mastery he has over his itch and does n’t desire to assail anyone as a result . And that , right there , is why Tek Knight is dissimilar from practicallyevery other supe inThe Boysuniverse : he ’s in reality a upright bozo .
Tek Knight Is One Of The Only Good Supes In The Boys
InThe Boys#7 - 10 by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson , Tek Knight is introduced and his story arc is told in its entirety . The issue go into how Tek Knight does n’t have any superpower ( like his Iron Man and Batman Marvel / DC counterparts ) , but still require to be a hero in a world where only those with powers can apparently make a difference . However , it was during his escapades with other heroes that he learn of his debilitating disease , and basically had to retire as a final result . The estimation of a superhero with a sex dependance so intense that they ca n’t have a buddy or work out with other superheroes for fear of assaulting them ( which he unluckily did to his own butler ) is undeniably gross and deviant . However , the tragic truth of the state of affairs was that Tek Knight ’s urges come from a brain neoplasm , mean he had absolutely no restraint over himself or the urges that chivy him .
Not only did Tek Knight support from a brain tumor that essentially turned him into an belligerent sex addict who ’s unsound to even be around other people ( a learning ability tumour readers eventually instruct is terminal ) , but he actively fought to keep others around him safe from himself . When it became plain that he could n’t see to it himself , Tek Knight forthwith separated himself from those around him , and hold up into isolation for their interest . Any other supe inThe Boyswould not have been that suit , as most other supes are on a regular basis designate engage in violent sex acts throughout the series with no compunction for the damage they cause as a result . Tek Knight physically ca n’t help oneself his consideration , but even still , he took full responsibleness for it and carry out measures to keep those around him safe , prove that he ’s really a good person in a world filled with superheroes who are definitely not .
It seems as though Tek Knight may be adapted in The Boys alive - action series , and if that ’s in reality the casing , then the truest delineation of his nature needs to be translated from the comics to the show , which is something that separates this Iron Man parody from much every other supe inThe son : Tek Knight is in reality a beneficial person .
