Two earlier Soldier Boys have existed, both the leaders of their team. It is later revealed that 'Soldier Boy' was a legacy title. At the beginning of issue #39 the cover of a newspaper, shows there is a funeral being held for Soldier Boy. He is captured alive but badly beaten by Butcher in issue #33, and is tortured for information in #34. His nose is bitten off by Butcher in issue #32. It's claimed he fought in World War II, though Butcher claims otherwise and refers to this story as an insult to the people who really did. He also mistakenly interprets gay sex with Homelander as a test for him to join the Seven. (never resorting to foul language or joining his team during the 'Herogasm' Orgies). Soldier Boy is Payback's 'elected' leader, though he yearns to join the Seven. nou thig eyll be abbu duh thow id bag od?' -Soldier Boy to Payback about his detached nose Deceased For the Amazon version of the character, see Soldier Boy.
