The Boys: 10 WTF Moments
3. Explosive Head
In the early stages of their investigation in to Compound V, The Boys survey the activities of A-Train and his estranged girlfriend, Popclaw.
A superhero with sharp, retractable claws that come from the bottom of her forearms, Popclaw has a history of using Compound V as a performance enhancing drug.
Infuriated by her boyfriends TV appearance, telling the cameras that he is single, Popclaw turns back to the drug and burns off steam by lifting enormous weights, until she is interrupted by her landlord.
She convinces him to accept sexual activity with her instead of money for her rent payment, and while she sits over his head, she loses control and crushes his skull in to a million tiny pieces.
It's unpleasant stuff.
The Boys use this footage to blackmail Popclaw, who rightly doesn't want her involuntary, sexually-related murder broadcast to the world.
This is still quite early in the series and is a big step up from the violence and sexual scenes we have seen so far, and is definitely somethign you would never see in any other superhero show.
