Ranking Every Superhero From The Boys From Worst To… Even Worse
5. Lamplighter
Lamplighter was a long-standing member of the Seven before the start of season one, and had the awesome power of manipulating any flame he could get his hands on. The gap he left in the team when he retired was filled by Starlight, but not before he truly disgraced himself.
When the Boys first operated under Grace Mallory, the Colonel got her hands on compromising pictures of the supe, and blackmailed him for info from Seven Tower. Knowing his hands were tied, and that Homelander would kill him if he ever betrayed him, his answer was to murder Mallory.
We all know what happened next. He thought he was attacking Grace, but in fact burned her grandchildren to death. Yes, he didn't mean to murder the children, but the fact that he tried to kill their grandmother instead is hardly very redeeming.
After retiring, Lamplighter was brought into the Sage Grove Centre, where he helped experiment with Compound V, and torched any subjects who talked back. Ultimately the supe killed himself in the Seven Tower conference room, not to be missed by many.
