Soldier Boy Anatomy & Story Explored | The Boys Season 4 | The Boys Gen V 

The fact that’s he’s constantly emitting levels of radiation could mean other supes get gradually weaker around him.

Dude is a walking nuclear reactor and if you hurt his feelings he has a MELTDOWN.

I think it’s worth exploring that soldier boy probably can’t fly simply because he doesn’t have the genetic predisposition. Homelander probably inherited his ability to fly from his supe mother. Edgar was confident Homelander would be more powerful than Soldier Boy and I think that’s because Soldier Boys genetic material was paired with an equally or more powerful supe.

My Grandfather served in WW2 on the Gold front at Omaha beach, he didn't talk much about it but he did say Soldier Boy took out a key German machine gun which allowed their troops to advance . real hero Soldier Boy

Soldier boy basically is able to become more durable and stronger after every fight. Storing and harnessing the energy absorbed

Soldier boy's entire childhood was one big emotional damage

I figure the "slow aging" is technically an example of a common, low level healing factor in most Supers. It would make sense then that it only takes affect when their adults since constant change is a normal part of childhood, that would also explain why most people exhibit super powers as puberty is ending. If your body is always doing a "super" good job of healing then you would not suffer the genetic degradation that makes normal people get older.

Captain America + Winter Soldier + Havok from X-men = Soldier Boy great video on him by the way.

I mean aging is just the result of cell division eventually making the DNA. Soldier Boy's cells probably just do not get damaged to go another division. Dude took a full auto AK down his throat and it didn't do ANYTHING. This sounds like a stupid explanation, but it's probably the best one.

Jensen Ackles would be a great batman replacement in the new DC universe.

He could still be immortal but not indestructible in sort of the same way Vampires are immortal but can be killed being immortal doesn’t mean you don’t have weaknesses it just means that over the natural course of a person’s life he won’t die unless one of those weaknesses is exploited

Lemme simplify it. Soldier boy has a genetic mutation that would have absorbed the radiation without harmful effects but instead being exposed to compound v it changed his already mutated genetics to absorb and store the radiation in his cells as energy. A form of atomic photosynthesis if you will. He wasn't as strong or durable when the Russian first got him he gained much of his durability during the experiments they performed

Soldier boy's one "hey" is more masculine than whole boys 's supes.

“He was gifted PTSD”

We know that nowadays they gove V to kids because the younger they are the better it works. And SB was an adult and got extremely powerful out of it. Makes you wonder what abilities he would have had had he had gotten it as a child

I want him back! He was awesome, what a cool show!

I think Soldier Boy at least ages extraordinarily slowly, which would also mean his regeneration is better. Homelander, I don't see following this trend. His regeneration is in fact pretty poor, to the point where even hours after the fight with the others (maybe days, actually, I don't remember), he had resorted to make up to hide his bruises. Homelander's weakened regeneration compared to other Supes, though, is offset by his ridiculous durability. Also, the main thing to wonder about Soldier Boy... are his powers technically natural now? His radiation burns Compound V out of the body entirely, so are his powers now granted by this unique radiation? Because he definitely doesn't have Compound V in his blood anymore, channelling all those blasts.

There's a difference between immortal and invulnerable. They ARE immortal... they don't age. They are not INVULNERABLE... they can be killed. Given the evidence present in the show, Soldier Boy and Stormfront ARE immortal... neither has aged since they received compound V. They are not INVULNERABLE... They both can take injury and die. Immortality doesn't mean you can't die from outside means. Vampires are immortal, but a stake through the heart can still kill them. Wolverine is immortal, but he can still be killed by many methods. Highlanders are immortal, but they still die if their heads are cut off (they also die through other means, but don't STAY dead, much like some of the others I listed). Immortal- living forever; never dying or decaying. Invulnerable- impossible to harm or damage. Bear in mind, that since neither is possible in the real world (where the definitions originate) the definition is entirely dependent on the rules of the fiction it is being used in. In all of these different fictions I've mentioned, Immortal doesn't mean unable to be killed. Marvel's Norse gods are also immortal, still killable. Vampires in almost every iteration live forever if not killed by outside means. The rules in The Boys are never stated, but evidence would indicate that it's more or less the same as Marvel.

12:12 They arent stuck because if theyre given C-V after having already been adapted to it, they will regain their powers which is why i think Butcher will eventually take the real V after his body's already been using and used to Temp V. Because Kimiko was able to gain her powers back after using V again

honestly i like to think that either vaught tweaked his genes with compound v to make homelander fly or while homelander was a boy they continued to give him compound v which is what unlocked more for him so i think he was already strong as a baby imcredibly but didnt have the extra powers until vaught gave him more compound v

No one wants to talk about the fact homelander can fly is stormfront, in the comics stormfront is actually Homelanders biological dad so if you apply that to this situation female stormfront is his mom since soldier boy and storm front were the only 2 who were the big guys for vought back in the day

Seem like he's a captain American and post crisis captain atom with all of that radiation

he had recovered from the lazer beam from the one that butcher shot at him with he had a scratch and then in the soooo called box he got put in he has no scratch in his right side its gone

There is also no evidence that he can or can't heal fast. The only real injury solider boy obtained was in the last fight and it was a cut to his face. There was no enough time to see if it would heal faster than a normal human. I may not be remembering something, but that breif interactions with Soldier boy didn't present enough time to make that argument that he can't heal any faster than a normal human.

Immortality and indestructibilty are two completely different things. From what we can tell soilder boy is immortal like stormfront but niether is indestructible. Immortal means you can live forever indestructible means you can't be killed by conventional means

He was also gifted ptsd 😂😂

Soldier Boy tell'em!

love that you use your real voice. Keep up the good work!

Solder boy tell em 👏

He’s the best character yet.

Good video should be alot more support amazing quality for the size of your channel

I'm pretty sure he's immortal as immortal simply means you will not die from disease or age. Yeah he can be killed by physical damage but that has nothing to do with immortality. Being unable to be killed physically just means you're invincible. So either he is immortal (won't die of age) or he has an incredibly slowed ageing rate.

Cool vid bro.😺

You mean why Jensen Ackles doesnt age, i wish i look like him when im his age

I mean Homelander and Ryan might take the flying and laser eye ability from the Supe who carried Homelander , I mean we know they used Soldier Boys Sperm but maybe they used a Supes egg and a surrugate to give birth to him . ? If it was a female Supe who had flying powers and laser eyes then that would explain it .Remember Homelander wanted Queen Mauves eggs to create a. Supe with both his and her powers .

someone needs to explain to this guy the difference between immortal vs invincible

My current theory is that Soldier Boy and Stormfront don't age because they received compound V as adults.

"The rushy-ens" 😂

So he's a traumatized laser gun, nice

i cant wait to see him in gen v ahahah kinda the only reason why im watching the show

goodjob on the thumbnail

the change they used was smooth, in the show it made it seem like he was actively a soldier in conflicts.....But the truth of it would be too direct for people if it was depicted this way I think.

you mistook immortal for invulnerable, you can be functionally immortal which is probably what they are, which means they wont die from normal things like illness or age but can still die from things like excessive bodily harm or perhaps if you cut off their air supply for long enough or drowned them. Invulnerable is what your talking about which means nothing by any known means can hurt or injure them in any way.

" I love bennies. You know this is how we won DDay right, we were all zooted", one of my favorite soldier quotes with all the evidence we hav now that we know every army even the US and British, but mostly the Germans with perviten, gave hardcore stimulants for them to do the kinds of heroic things they did. No disrespect for them for doing it I'd would hav to if I had to assault the beaches or parachute behind enemy lines. Ota just something we hav to admit was done bc acting like we didn't is a total lie that only makes the government saying they didn't even less trustworthy then most politicians of any system are already.

If Solider Boy was in Marvel, could he use his radioactive wave ability to permanently neutralize the gamma eradiated cells in Bruce Banner's body effectively killing the Hulk?

Your the boys videos are so cool !

if they stuck with the comic then all supes should be able to fly shouldn't they??

In the show they said because he was frozen off and on. 😅

Ahhh ... The gift of PTSD ....

I hope this actor gets casted to play Wolverine

Stormfront wasn't born with compound v but she could fly

That’s alrighty benji boy, I know a legend who failed boating school too

Given the thumbnail and title, I was expecting a greater emphasis on anatomy speculation. I’ve already watched The Boys so to me this was basically just a recap. Still, credit where it’s due, this was a good explanation of his story

About Soldier Boy and Homelander powers, their cell properties would be different. The cells should have some fixed properties: They should produce more cells only when those cells are somehow lost or destroyed such as being hit really hard by Butcher's laser beam, losing blood by getting punched really hard by homelander and having to produce more bone marrow to produce more blood cells etc. Because naturally his cells don't die unless there's a strong enough kinetic force or extreme temperature to kill them. They stubbornly stay together. And when they're damaged they're replaced with perfect replicas, no information is lost which explains why he doesn't age. Also this means he could get stronger much faster than the average human just like Invincible. He would damage the muscles by lifting enormous weights and the body would adapt and produce more muscle cells per square inch though there probably would be a limit for how strong he could get. They should have extremely strong bonds like graphene. The way I see it is overall his body has a higher number of cells per square inch more prominently in the muscles and bones which explains his super strength. It'd be required extremely high energies to pierce through those bonds thus explaining his durability. His body wouldn't need to keep producing more sex cells because they don't fall apart in his nuts lol. If he takes a wank the body just produces more. He would have indestructible sperm lmao. The hormones I believe would be very similar to normal humans. He would also need to produce enough blood to supply his super dense muscles. That would probably mean his heart would have to be bigger and pump harder or more frequently than humans which would explain their super stamina. That's more or less what I think compound V did to their anatomy. Let me know what you guys think of it I might be wrong at some things as the human body can be quite complex lol.

So if he was not immortal how come the Russians could not kill him all that time? Cos unlike Homelander, soldier boy never bleeds.

he was in cryostasis tho. isn't that the simplest answer

Don't think homelands or Ryan have the slowed aging soup thing because we are supposed to watch them grow up.

There is a difference between immortal and invulnerable.. he is immortal, as in he can't die from old age. But he is not invulnerable.. as in he can die from physical harm. Sort of like a vampire

Basically Jonny Silverhand plus superpowers, minus rockerboy.

Dope stuff bro… I done get new page to be geeking out to comic and fictional characters… 🎉

Soldier Boy is just Captain America

Immortal and invulnerable are 2 different things.

the rush-eans.

It's not just Soldier Boy, most supes dont age or age very slowly.

🤔Because he's got... YooooOo0uth!!😜

Soldier boy can't hold his breath

15:44 Reason for this is that both young and current time Soldier Boy are played by the same actor

13:06 he was "Gifted" PTSD. XD

Who else hears the cloaker sound from Payday every 30 seconds or so in the video???

To be honest I'm just now realizing the timwline issues. Soldier boy was the first successful Compound V subject during WWII but Vaught is supposed to be a Nazi.

I think peole were asking if they can die of old age, not if they are some weird anime form of immortal ...

Immortal isn't the same thing as Invincible. Generally being immortal means you well never die, not that you can't be killed. Whereas invincible literally means you can't be physically hurt or killed but can die of old age . So Soldier Boy and Stormfront are both immortal if they don't actually age regardless of stormfront killing herself. If they both age but at an extremely slow rate then no, they're not immortal they just have very long lifespans.

13:22 it is not escape. It is curly white acacia outside the window

Play in 1×5 speed and thank me later 🤣

12:40 Compound Wii

16 minutes is way too long

He definitely a super legend even in our history......Mr Benjamin Soldier boy....Bannaker wow lol

I think if his emotions don't affect him and it's a powerful supe when soldier boy blast his attack it can permanently take a super powers again other then if you take compound v

Shoutout to Jensen Ackles he is my childhood bro I love him in The Boys

The "immortal" part of this video doesn't make sense with the previous part about the Russian experimentation. What you stated was they tried to kill him over and over again. You seem to be confusing "invulnerable" with "immortal". At this time it would seem he is immortal because he can't be killed. He also wasn't killed at the end of the season.

I wish they hadnt done him thay dirty at the end of the season. He really got screwed over and nkw homelander is pretty much unbeatable now. Theres nothing they can do to him outside of come to an agreement or something. Hes got ryan on his side and hes got the love of rhe people even after what he did. Butcher and the boys really screwed up.

Soldier Boy and Storm Front BOTH don’t age, and BOTH were given Compound V when they were grown up, and both got it around the 1940s, maybe Kimiko will also age slowly like both of them???

Could be Homelander is immune to SB's blast. SB does not get depowered by the blast even though its radiating from his body. HL may have inherited this immunity. That would have been a cool twist where HL does get hit but up and recovers.

Ah PTSD truly the greatest gift

Soilder boy is the most durable sup he has taken so many blows and shows no sign of physical damage

Being immortal means to never die by natural causes such as old age if I remember correctly, less they changed the definition

also hes got no laserbeams. when his son and grandson do..

"Russiyans"

Crank that 😂

YOU SAID WHO? THE DANCE FLOO SLILLY. THE LADIES GON KILL ME

A better question why doesn't Jensen Ackles age?I mean the guy looks legit like he could still be a 20 or 30 year old Dean Winchester.

You say perhaps Homelander will age slowly as well but he already looks much much older than Soldier Boy in the show despite being younger. If I didn't know Soldier Boy was Homelanders father I would expect it to be the other way around.

I to became an alcoholic due to being tortured and overly criticized for being a problem child.

„The russiens“ made me chuckle

You ever thinking about MOVING ON UP!!!!!!!

soldier boy will destroy captain america his power is nearly city level and he is very strong and fast and durable to beat the crap out of captain america without his nuclear blast

Just an FYI for you, I'm pretty sure the image used to refer to boarding schools was from a Canadian Indian residential school system which were horrible and monstrous and may insult some indigenous people.

Soldier Boy's ptsd is a superpower 💀

I think it's the healing Factor it slows down his ageing I don't think he doesn't age

Something like Captain America and the Winter Soldier combined
