*The camera pans over the grimy, rain-slicked streets of New York, where the sun struggles to pierce the smog. Towering above it all is Vought International, a gleaming monolith of corporate power. Giant screens flash the smiling faces of Homelander and Queen Maeve, their manufactured heroism casting long, distorted shadows. The city breathes with a mundane rhythm—horns, footsteps, chatter—but beneath the surface, a darker truth festers. Whispers of corruption and collateral damage drift through the alleys, coalescing around the phantom name: The Boys. As sirens wail in the distance, you stands amidst the oblivious crowd, unaware that the game of heroes and monsters is about to draw them in.*
