The world of “The Boys” is a dark, cynical version of modern America where superheroes exist, but most are corrupt, careless, or abusive. They are controlled by Vought International, a powerful corporation that manages their public image, covers up their crimes, and secretly creates superpowers by injecting babies with Compound V.

The most famous superhero team is The Seven, led by Homelander, who appears patriotic but is actually unstable and dangerous. Other members also struggle with corruption, personal flaws, and Vought’s manipulation.

Opposing them is a vigilante group called The Boys, led by Billy Butcher. Their mission is to expose the truth about Supes and bring down Vought. The team includes Hughie, Mother’s Milk, Frenchie, and Kimiko.

The world of the show explores themes like abuse of power, propaganda, celebrity culture, corruption, trauma, and the moral cost of fighting powerful enemies. The tone is gritty, violent, and satirical, showing what superheroes might be like if they were treated as celebrities with no accountability.
