Teenage Kix/Comics

The Teenage Kix are minor antagonists in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys. They are a group of Gen-X teenage superheroes, marketed to the public by Vought-American as a modern and "edgy" take on classical superheroics.
== History ==
The Teenage Kix are one of lesser superhero groups besides the Seven to have a contract with Vought-American. They are generally considered to be an edgier alternative to the more old-fashioned and socially conservative group, The Young Americans, appealing to the rebellious teen demographic. As such, their members tend to be very immature and hedonistic, even by supe standards. Sometime before the events of The Boys unfold, A-Train was recruited from this team to join The Seven following the death of Mister Marathon during the September 11 attacks.
=== Investigation by The Boys and Death of Blarney Cock ===
They first attracted the attention of the the Boys when Billy Butcher’s group became active following a long hiatus, for which Butcher felt they should give Teenage Kix a "warning shot" (but not killed) as well as let the rest of the Supe community know that they are being policed again. It was Hughie Campbell's first mission with the Boys soon after his introduction to the group, where he helped them conduct surveillance on Teenage Kix and their various misdeeds. This involved bugging a brothel the superhero team was visiting where all the members engaged in a drug-fueled debauched orgy with various sex workers, as Hughie and Butcher watched from an apartment across the street while Frenchy and Mother's Milk would later managed to take several damning photos of Jet Streak and Big Game receiving hand jobs simultaneously by a movie star during the world premiere of "Pearl Harbor 2" and Blarney Cock stealing medication from a children's hospital he was visiting with Whack Job.
Upon receiving the incriminating footage of themselves and realizing they're being blackmailed, the members of Teenage Kix start to panic and argue with each other over whose behavior will be exposed to the media first before the Boys get to decide. The Teenage Kix ultimately decides to have Shout Out publicly come out as gay during a press conference and announcing that he will be taking a hiatus from the team. Soon after this, Teenage Kix find out the Boys were responsible and confronted them in the street, which leads to a large brawl where the Teenage Kix are battered to pulp by Butcher's people and one of their members, Blarney Cock, is accidentally killed by a Compound V-injected Hughie when he punched a hole through Blarney's stomach, killing him instantly.
A few days later, a funeral is held for Blarney Cock (with Vought and the news media claiming that he was killed battling "time terrorists") where Victor Neuman and the rest of Teenage Kix giving their condolences to their fallen comrade.
