Herogasm, the most-awaited The Boys episode of all time, was going to be eventful, and we knew that. However, what we didn’t know about the many character deaths that would occur in the episode. What happens when a superhero orgy meets a quest for vengeance is the tale of this episode.
Here’s the complete list of character deaths in The Boys Season 3 Episode 6: Herogasm.
- TNT Twins
- Blue Hawk
- Nina’s Henchmen
- A-Train (presumed dead)
- 12 Supes
Soldier Boy Gets the TNT Twins and 12 Other Supes
Soldier Boy is back, and he is thirsty for blood. We saw him obliterate his ex-girlfriend Crimson Countess in Episode 5, and in Episode 6, he sets off to kill the TNT Twins.
Soldier Boy kills the TNT Twins with his energy blast and 12 other Supes as well. The incident occurs at the 70th Annual Herogasm party at a mansion in Vermont. The Supe searches for the other members of Team Payback to find out who gave him up to the Russians.
Although Soldier Boy had intended to kill just the twins, he gets triggered by a Russian song being played. We’ve also seen this happen earlier, when he was walking on the streets of New York. According to him, he blacked out when he heard that and unintentionally released an energy blast from his chest.
The same happened at the Herogasm party, and the entire mansion was destroyed. Due to this, 12 other Supes were killed, and numerous were injured. The destruction also harmed civilians present at the party.
Blue Hawk Is Dragged to Death (Literally!)
In Episode 5, Blue Hawk had attacked a bunch of people of color at a conference, where he was originally meant to apologize for being racist. Unfortunately, A-Train’s brother got caught in this, and the doctors said that he would never be able to walk again.
At Herogasm, A-Train tries to settle the score and get justice once and for all. So, he punches Blue Hawk, slams him on the ground, grabs his leg, and starts running as fast as possible. We see Blue Hawk’s body being dragged to a point where his skin and a massive chunk of flesh from his body is worn off due to friction. This way, A-Train kills off Blue Hawk.
A-Train’s Heart (Maybe) Gives up on Him
In the process of killing Blue Hawk, A-Train’s heart starts to beat too fast. He’s been struggling with this condition since Season 1 due to his extreme abuse of Compound V. The doctors had warned him that he couldn’t speed off anymore because his heart wouldn’t be able to take such extreme strain.
So, when A-Train charges off, dragging Blue Hawk through the mud (Pun intended), his heart eventually gives up, and we hear his heart stop beating. So is A-Train really dead?
While nothing is confirmed yet, there are two possibilities. Either A-Train dies due to cardiac arrest, or at the last minute, he’s saved somehow and taken to the hospital.
The latter would be a cliche cop-out, but we must wait and find out in Episode 7. It comes out next Friday at 3:00 AM PT on Amazon Prime Video.
Besides this, Nina’s men kidnap Kimiko along with Frenchie. However, in her moment of desperation, Kimiko gets her powers back, and she manages to kill Nina’s henchmen. However, Nina escapes the scene.
The Boys has two more episodes to go this season, and I can’t wait to find out how it all ends for all these characters. I also have a hunch that Stan Edgar might play an interesting role in the penultimate or the final episode of the season. So, let’s wait and find out.
About The Boys
The Boys is an American satirical superhero streaming television series developed by Eric Kripke for Prime Video. Based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, which was originally published by DC Comics under their Wildstorm imprint before moving to Dynamite Entertainment, it follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities.
The show is a satirical take on the superhero genre and showcases a world where superheroes are corporatized and controlled by companies. What happens when these superheroes step out of line and rub some boys the wrong way, is the story.
