The Seven/Comics

The Seven are the main antagonists in the Dynamite Entertainment adult comic book series The Boys. They were a team of extremely popular and legendary (but secretly highly corrupt) superheroes owned and managed by Vought-American.
==History==
===Compound-V and the Creation of the Seven===
The Seven were created by Vought-American injecting a substance called Compound V directly into six pregnant women. This results in the births of stronger-than-average people: The Homelander, Queen Maeve, The Deep, Jack from Jupiter, Lamplighter and Mister Marathon. A-Train and Starlight would later be recruited onto the team to replace Mister Marathon and Lamplighter respectively. 
They were created in order for Vought-American to make profits by manipulating the public into believing they were a group of superheroes. However, due to The Seven's upbringings and mental illnesses, they (along with the vast majority of Vaught's other "heroes") became deeply corrupt and reprobate over time, with many members indulging in extreme, hedonistic behavior as well as committing multiple crimes such as murder, rape, torture, cannibalism, and even botched attempts at saving people that resulted in the deaths of countless civilians. This was apparent in their horrifically failed mission to save passengers from one of the hijacked planes during 9/11, which leads to the deaths of thousands on both the plane and casualties on the ground (along with Mister Marathon), as well as half of the Hudson Bridge being destroyed in the process.
The CIA's discoveries of The Seven's atrocities leads to the formation of The Boys, a team created to keep Supes in line and dissuade them from causing further damage to society, with their main tools being blackmail or (when necessary) outright killing superheroes. Lamplighter becomes infuriated after being told that The Seven were being blackmailed so he leaves to stalk The Boys' leader Greg Mallory to his home and murder his family. This leads to the two teams coming to a cease-fire agreement: The Seven would not get involved in national defense and the Boys would not interfere. Lamplighter was given up to the Boys which led to his death and reanimation as a zombie.
Since then, The Seven and the Boys have had little interaction with each other and the team is mostly shown at their headquarters while focusing on member Starlight. The Seven would soon dissolve and ended with only The Deep and Starlight surviving.
