==Summary==
A-Train is one of the main characters in the Amazon series The Boys. He is a speedster who used to be a part of a team known as Teenage Kix but is now a member of The Seven. He inadvertently killed Robin Ward (Hughie Campbell's girlfriend) with his powers while high on Compound V, which led Hughie to join The Boys for revenge.
A-Train is a member of The Seven and the current "fastest man in the world" but underneath the cavalier exterior of a celebrity superhero, lies the soul of a mortal athlete with deep insecurities about staying at the top. He’ll do whatever it takes to remain in The Seven because he knows it’s only a matter of time until a younger, faster challenger takes his place — and that’s a problem even the fastest man in the world can’t outrun.

Speed: At least Subsonic (Should be faster than his weakened state even without the use of Compound V, but he was still afraid of losing a race against Shockwave. Went back to his locker room to shoot up with Compound V without anyone noticing. Ran so fast that people appeared to be frozen. It was stated that cameras need to catch up to 5,000 frames per second just so that he can be visible at all times.The Boys; American Hero | Behind The Scenes Mansion Tour Outsped a bullet as a child, but it is unknown how much he moved relative to it or what type of gun was usedThe Boys; Season 1; Episode 6; "The Innocents"), up to Transonic with Compound V (Has a explicit running speed of 371 m/s, which was done after being amped by unknown amounts of Compound V to cheat on a race. Its previous record was 339 m/s. Butcher estimated that he could search all of Manhattan in 30 minutes) | | Superhuman combat and reaction speed (Could hit The Deep before he could reactThe Boys; Season 3; Episode 4; "Glorious Five Year Plan"). Up to Subsonic in short bursts or by pushing his limits (Stole a Vial of Compound V from Starlight before she could react.The Boys; Season 2; Episode 2; "Proper Preparation and Planning" Can appear as a blur while running.The Boys; Season 2; Episode 3; "Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men" Quickly got inside Hughie's car while it was moving and before him or Annie could notice. Stated that he could cover New York in three hours, though this is likely by taking breaks in between. Blitzed both Hughie and AnnieThe Boys; Season 2; Episode 8; "What I Know") | At least Subsonic (After getting his new heart, he is back to peak health, and should be at least as fast as he was prior to getting a heart disease. Casually blitzed The Deep)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 1, likely Class 5 (Comparable to Kimiko) | At least Class 1, likely Class 5 (Overpowered Blue Hawk with one hand) | At least Class 1, likely Class 5 (Same as before. Effortlessly lifted Todd's and Mother's Milk's bodies like they were ragdollsThe Boys; Season 4; Episode 1; "Department of Dirty Tricks"The Boys; Season 4; Episode 6; "Dirty Business")
Striking Strength: Small Building level, possibly Building level, higher with Compound V | Likely Small Building level, possibly Building level | Small Building level, possibly Building level
Durability: Small Building level, possibly Building level (Just as durable as he is later on. Withstood an attack from Kimiko, who later used a metal pipe to break his leg, despite him being off-guardThe Boys; Season 1; Episode 7; "The Self-Preservation Society"), higher with Compound V (While amped by Compound V, he was unharmed by running into Robin with enough force to reduce her body to bloody paste) | Small Building level, possibly Building level (Withstood a tackle from The Deep, though he was left winded on the floor.

Stamina: Superhuman (While himself in a bad condition and moments before having a heart attack, he outsped Starlight, dodging her attacks, and knocked her down before collapsing), higher with Compound V (Should be comparable to Popclaw, who under the influence, was shown exercising for one hour without stopping and wasn't tired, though the continuous overuse deteriorated his health) | Unknown (Despite his worse health condition, A-Train is still able to run at superhuman speeds at least in short bursts before showing signs of exhaustion. Claimed to be able to search all of New York in 3 hours, though presumably with breaks in between) | Superhuman (After getting Blue Hawk's heart transplanted, he now has a "super-abled" heart, with no hearts diseases, which would allow him to run as superspeed without any inhibitions)

Standard Equipment: None notable
*Optional Equipment: Vials of Compound V
Intelligence: Above Average (Helped run a secret drug trafficking conspiracy and keeps his shadier actions away from public knowledge, though mostly thanks to the company that protects him)
Weaknesses: His addictive overuse of Compound V has decreased his health, to the point where he eventually suffered a heart attack (though at the end of Season 3, he got a new heart transplanted). Due to his accelerated metabolism, he has to consume 3,000 calories per hour to maintain his energy without passing out while training. Obsessed with staying the fastest human alive. | Same as before. Running at high speeds for prolonged periods of time can greatly stress his heart, and when he pushed his limits, he eventually got another heart attack. | None notable due to his new heart and mentality, besides his need for thousands of calories.
