What happens in ‘The Boys’ - Issue 3?
In issue 3 of The Boys, titled "Cherry, Part Two," The Boys intensify their investigation into the Teenage Kix, a group of young, reckless superheroes known for their immoral behavior. The team, led by Billy Butcher, gathers evidence of the group's illegal activities, including drug use and sexual misconduct, to blackmail them into submission.
Butcher arranges a confrontation with the Teenage Kix, where he reveals the collected evidence and taunts the group, provoking a violent brawl. The Boys easily overpower the superheroes, sending a clear message about who really holds the power.
Hughie, who is new to this world, becomes increasingly disturbed by the brutality and ruthlessness of The Boys' methods, particularly as he witnesses the casual violence and manipulation involved in their mission. This issue underscores the ethical complexities Hughie faces as he begins to question whether he's on the right side.
