Hughie is intentionally drawn to resemble the British actor and writer Simon Pegg.
He was based on Simon Pegg
While initially developing "The Boys" as a comic book, artist Darick Robertson struggled with finding a look for Hughie. While talking with Collider, he explains that the character's name came from a friend of Garth Ennis whom he met.
Okay, a minor one – though Simon Pegg was the inspiration for Wee Hughie Campbell in the original comics, he was too old for the live-action version (Jack Quaid plays Hughie) and took the role of his dad. Now, though, thanks to the animated nature of the new show, he gets his chance.
Billy Butcher was designed as a parody of The Punisher, a character that series creator Garth Ennis had written for nine years, prior to creating The Boys. Both characters are family men who become violent, unhinged vigilantes who allow their constant thirst for revenge to take them over completely.
thank god." Notably, Hughie is Scottish in the original comics, whereas Quaid's version from the television adaptation is American.
In the comics, Hughie is Scottish. In the comics, he was drawn in the likeness of Simon Pegg, who was too old to play Hughie by the time the show was produced, so it was decided to have him play Hughie's father. But in The Boys: Diabolical cartoon series, he was voiced by the same actor.
As in, his character was designed to appear similar to Hughie's dad in the show, Simon Pegg. The English actor wasn't young enough to play Hughie in the series, though, so he took on the role of Hughie's father instead. The comic version of Hughie is completely bald and rocks a blonde goatee.
He May Be Suffering From A Borderline Personality Disorder
With the number of times that Butcher has flown into a rage, made rash decisions, or had sudden changes of heart, it's very much possible that he suffers from a Borderline Personality Disorder of some kind.
Even though Soldier Boy could not take down Homelander with the help of Hughie and Butcher (Karl Urban) using temporary doses of Compound V, it was abundantly clear that he is still the closest anyone has been to the individual strength of Homelander.
Afraid of abusing his younger brother, Butcher eventually ran away from home to join the British SAS.
Similar to Female of the Species, the Frenchman's use of Compound V has given him abilities such as increased strength, smell and increased durability.
How Strong Is Hughie Compared To Homelander? Although suped-up Hughie is far stronger than normal Hughie, he still doesn't come close to how powerful Compound V has made Homelander. Hughie can teleport, but Homelander is so fast that he could probably beat Hughie to wherever he is going.
Hughie is discovered by Black Noir, who then sexually assaults Hughie with his thumb while calling him a "good soldier". This scene was barely accepted by many comic fans, and many felt it was too far even for The Boys. This, like many other non-consensual moments, didn't make it into the show.
He is also very perceptive, realizing that Mindstorm likely lived nearby a pharmacy, since he needed meds to treat his bipolar disorder. Skilled Technician: Hughie has technical skills from his job at an electronics store, making him very tech-savvy. He was able to install R.F.
It'd be classic Campbell misfortune for Hughie to suffer medical consequences after four doses, while Butcher gets away with more. The Boys history would then be repeating itself, with Butcher's anger and selfishness getting yet another younger brother killed....
However, Noir's fear of Soldier Boy is surprisingly bigger than his loyalty to Homelander. When Noir escaped from Vought due to the news of Soldier Boy returning, Homelander was genuinely distraught over the news as he believed Noir always had his back.
The grand finale of The Boys comic book series confirms that there is only one hero who is actually stronger than Homelander, and that's his (even more) evil clone, Black Noir. Created to be an upgraded version of Homelander, Black Noir proves his superiority in the final battle between these two deranged powerhouses.
Following The Boys' season 3 finale, the future of Billy Butcher has become one of the show's biggest mysteries. Butcher is terminally ill due to his use of Temp V, yet Butcher dying of natural causes would be a major change from The Boys' comics.
Homelander's display of insecurities and instability is similar to men with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), which is characterized by major mood shifts, impulsivity, and an unstable self-image.
It's a different, self-punishing, self-flagellating power. The beams are really rough and they're smoking because they're burning his eyes as it's happening. It's a natural extension of his inner rage and his inner hatred, both toward Homelander and toward himself.”
Series Information
He is the archenemy of Hughie Campbell. He inadvertently killed Hughie Campbell's girlfriend, while chasing a criminal.
Unfortunately, Hughie is discovered by Black Noir, who sexually assaults him and addresses him as "Good soldier." The attack is one of the series' most bizarre moments, as both Black Noir's words and his decision not to warn the other Supes of the spies in their midst make no sense.
He worked alongside Butcher, Mother's Milk, the Frenchman, and the Female (of the Species). Butcher injected Hughie with Compound V during their first mission, giving Hughie superhero powers but angering him, nonetheless. He received superhuman strength and durability.
