Amazon Prime’s The Boys has been able to showcase many of the powers and abilities from the original comics, but there are a few that are still missing. The world of The Boys, both in the comics and in the series, is a rich one that’s full of super-powered entities. But while it has made sense to combine some characters and their abilities from the comics or invent new ones altogether, there are still some powers yet to hit the silver screen which could be very interesting to incorporate into the show’s dynamics. Now that a supes’ powers can evolve on The Boys, maybe some of the remaining abilities from the comics will be in the show as well.The Boys tells the story of a world full of corporate superheroes and villains where the business of heroics has been deeply commercialized. Season 3 of The Boys follows Hughie (Jack Quaid) as he reteams with Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and his group in their vendetta against the unchecked power of superheroes who often abuse their abilities, especially the Superman-like hero Homelander (Antony Starr). Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty), discovers the dark underbelly of superheroism and leaves The Seven – but not before leveling up her own powers. Still, there are a few notable superpowers from the comics the show has yet to incorporate.
6 Homelander’s Sonic Scream
Homelander has displayed many of the abilities he has in the comics already, including super strength, near indestructibility, x-ray vision, flight, and laser vision. But there’s still one power he has not yet brought to The Boys series. In addition to his superhuman strength and durability, in the source material, Homelander also has a superhuman voice. This amplified shout could be used to create a sonic scream in The Boys season 4 that has the ability to kill people within a specific range. While Homelander may have the capability for the sonic scream and he only chooses not to use it for PR reasons, it could be a new ability he develops as his powers evolve.
5 Starlight’s Super Hearing
But Homelander is not the only main character in The Boys whose powers have the potential to evolve. While Starlight’s abilities have recently been brought much closer to those in the comics with her recently-gained power of flight, there’s still one more ability from her comic book iteration that has not been brought to the live-action version of the series. Starlight has super hearing in the comics, with the character stating that she has “pretty amazing” hearing. However, this facet of Starlight’s powers in The Boys isn’t often showcased, even in the original material, as it takes a fair amount of concentration for her and isn’t as well utilized as her flight and light projection blasts.
4 Stormfront’s Weather Manipulation
While Stormfront (Aya Cash) herself has already passed from the universe of The Boys, maybe another character will display one of her missing abilities from the comics. Among the many differences between the Stormfront of the comics and the Stormfront of the series, the original Stormfront not only had the series version’s powers of flight, strength, superhuman durability, and electrokinesis, but he could manipulate the weather as well. Even though this ability wasn’t strongly defined or displayed in the source material, the character did use it on occasion to summon powerful storms to create lightning.
3 Silver Kincaid’s Gravity And Pressure Manipulation
While The Boys‘ Silver Kincaid (Jasmin Husain) only appeared briefly in the show version, her powers were still significantly different than what they could have been in the comics. In the original material, Silver Kincaid was a far more tragic figure than the highly-capable version in the series. As a young girl, the Silver Kincaid of the comics was kidnapped and abused, leading to her using her own abilities to end her life later in the series.
Beyond this, The Boys comics are vague about Silver Kincaid’s powers. Both the series and the comics versions share an aspect of psychic ability, with telepathy and telekinesis in the show version and potentially some form of telekinesis in the comics. But more specifically, Silver Kincaid has the ability to manipulate gravity and pressure in the original material, which she could use to graphically kill people as easily as any death Homelander has caused, with blood streaming from their eyes, nose, and mouths.
2 Holy Mary’s Mesmerizing Presence
The Boys TV series largely focuses on The Seven and The Boys narratively, which works very well for the critique of the commercial and media empire of super heroics mirrored in real life. The comics were allowed to have a broader scope, also critiquing themselves as a medium and the sprawling universes they created. This gave the original The Boys more leeway to create more superhero teams and powers, including characters such as Holy Mary.
Holy Mary is another superhero that has not yet appeared in The Boys series, though her abilities seem prime for the kind of abuse and critique the show often utilizes. In the original series, Holy Mary was a member of the Young Americans, Starlight’s original team in The Boys, and presented a very chaste image as part of her persona. Ironically, Holy Mary’s powers were akin to those of a siren, with her beauty and allure having a supernatural effect on others, especially on those of the opposite sex. This allowed her to exert hypnotic control over those who desired her, for as long as a week from as little as a kiss.
1 Auntie Sis’ Replication
Auntie Sis is another younger supe who has yet to appear in the series. She is the unofficial leader of Super Duper, a younger, lower-powered team that behaves more like a support group for the people at a home for the disabled. They are one of the few well-intentioned superhero groups throughout the many issues of The Boys, with Auntie Sis spearheading them with her unique abilities of replication and duplication. She can produce up to three replications of any object or person, especially herself, with her clones retaining her memories and abilities. She can then reabsorb these duplicates and retain their memories and experiences as long as they’re not dead, which could be very useful for any character for the TV show version of The Boys.
