SPOILER WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for the fourth season of The Boys. If you haven’t seen the end yet, continue at your own risk!
The Boys may not be a horror series, but there’s no doubt that it imagines a very scary world. While most superhero fiction suggests that the world is safer thanks to other people with special abilities, the Prime Video series is full of talented, selfish, megalomaniacal and violent “heroes”.
That said, by the end of season 4, it’s hard to decide which character is really “the scariest one. “Homelander has been a true monster, but Sister Sage has become a disturbing threat and Billy Butcher has literally gone off the rails. . Fans have their own take on the debate. . . But so do the stars of the series.
Yesterday, while covering the Boys press line at San Diego Comic-Con, I asked the same question to every other star of the series I spoke to about who they thought was the scariest character in nameArray and presented their opinions. Check out the video below!

As you can see, most of the votes were split between Sister Sage and Billy Butcher, who definitely upped their individual scary game in season 4 of The Boys. Tomer Capone made a slightly left-wing choice by cutting off the call from The Deep (which Chace Crawford is excited to hear), however, when it comes to season 5 of The Boys, there’s a great explanation for why to be afraid of what Sister Sage and Billy Butcher might do in the future.
Played by Susan Heyward, Sister Sage hit the scene in a big way in the fourth season of The Boys and left an indelible mark on the world. She is known as the smartest user on the planet, but she is not particularly interested in her intelligence solving the many, many problems on the planet. Not being a big fan of humanity, she needs to do things just to see if she can do it, and until the end of the fourth season, what she needs to do is overthrow the United States government and initiate martial law, which is revised. through Superheroes and Vought International.
She has a notable weakness given her propensity for administering lobotomies that sever her complex brain and turn her into an excessive fool. . . but taking credit for this character flaw is simple (the only example of this in season four is down to dumb luck). .
It might be a little bit to identify Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher as a villain given that he’s been one of the series’ main protagonists since the beginning, but getting rid of him from this verbal exchange wouldn’t be a fair way to go about it. progress in the finale of the fourth season. (and it is evident that several of Urban’s comrades agree).
Health-wise, Billy Butcher is in dire straits, as the use of Temp V left him terminally ill, and one of the few people who managed to keep him morally in line, Grace Mallory from Laila Robins, is now dead (having been killed through Cameron Crovetti’s Ryan Butcher). His identity has necessarily manifested as a damaging hallucination of Joe Kessler from Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and not only does he boast a horrific superpower that sees spiky tentacles protruding from his chest, but he also owns it. of a virus that could wipe out Earth’s entire superhero population.
What makes Billy Butcher less scary is the fact that we essentially know he’s a smart person. . . But after all he’s been through, he’s not the same guy we’ve been rooting for since Season 1.
With all those creepy people expected to come face to face in one big final showdown, The Boys season five will be a desirable conclusion to the series. Unfortunately, we still don’t know exactly when we’ll stop by to watch the next set of episodes, but the existing 4 episodes can be streamed with an Amazon Prime subscription.
