Hidden in the “Gen V” trailer: “The Boys” finally gets its answer to Batman and Iron Man!

Homelander is Superman, Queen Maeve is Wonder Woman, Soldier Boy is Captain America and so on and so forth: “The Boys” presents us with all kinds of terrible corruptions of well-known heroes from the Marvel and DC universes. And the repertoire that the comic book The Boys offers us here is far from exhausted in Amazon’s popular series adaptation.

Now another famous crime-fighter spoof is making its way from comics to screens, and it’s been teased since season 1 of The Boys. We talk about Tek Knight, who is now not in the fourth season of The Boys, but in the previously released spin-offGen Vwill make its series debut.

Tek Knight can already be seen in the ‘Gen V’ trailer

Tek Knight is something like The Boys’ answer to Marvel’s Iron Man and DC’s Batman. Behind the name lies the wealthy Robert Vernon, who comes into action in a heavily armed high-tech suit.

He is played by, among others, the series from the series also produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldbergfuture human” And “preachers” known Dirk Wilson (By the way, ‘Preacher’ was already based on a comic strip by ‘The Boys’ creator Garth Ennis). The staff could read the magazine announce exclusive:

So now we know Tek Knight and Robert Vernon make a brief appearance in the new “Gen V” trailer. At 1:24 in the next preview, Derek Wilson appears and announces, probably referring to his role model Batman’s detective work, “Searching for the truth is a rush.”

The cameo in the trailer follows a series of references that have gone through The Boys since Season 1. Tek Knight was already mentioned when a woman in a self-help group for people harmed by the actions of the Supes told how Tek Knight rescued her from a hostage situation, but suffered damage to her spine and in a wheelchair in the process.

An associated newspaper article about the incident is seen again in Season 3 in a locker belonging to MM (Laz Alonso). Meanwhile, in season two, Homelander (Antony Starr) is reminded by Vought boss Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito) to go to the premiere of Tek Knight Lives.

But only now does the super really appear by itself. How exactly he is involved in the plot of ‘Gen V’, which is about a college for young heroes, is still unclear. In the comics, Tek Knight was part of the Avengers knock-off team Payback alongside Soldier Boy, Crimson Countess, and Stormfront (all of whom also appeared in the series). In the series film adaptation, however, he could now have a different background because he was not mentioned there in connection with Payback.

Also, it is considered likely that Tek Knight will also be involved in the fourth season of “The Boys”, which is expected to release in 2024, and will don his battle suit there at the latest. earlier but we already experience Robert Vernon in the spin-off”The Boys: Gen V‘, which will launch on Amazon Prime Video on September 29, 2023.
