The Boys: 8 Worst Things The Seven Have Done

2. A-Train Ran Through Robin

Every great TV show has that one moment that kickstarts the entire sequence of events. In Game of Thrones it was Jaime Lannister throwing Bran Stark from a window, in Breaking Bad it was Walter White’s cancer diagnosis, and in The Boys it was A-Train murdering Robin.

This shock start to the show was the catalyst for the rest of the series. A-Train, while making a Compound V delivery, ran through Hughie's girlfriend faster than the speed of light, killing her instantly. To cover up the drugs, the fastest man on the planet claimed to be chasing after bad guys and that Robin was at fault for stepping into the middle of the road.

To make matters even worse, A-Train actually laughed about the horrific incident with his superhero friends later, showing literally zero remorse despite the public and private ‘apologies’ uttered.

To add insult to injury, when Hughie bumped into A-Train later outside Popclaw’s apartment, the ‘hero’ had absolutely no recollection of the man he hurt so badly, despite seeing him at the time of the murder, and apologising to him face to face in Vought Tower. This shows just how messed up A-Train had become thanks to the drugs and the exploits of the Seven.
