The Avenging Squad

The Avenging Squad are a group of posthumous minor characters in the Dynamite Entertainment adult series The Boys. They were a highly untrained and inept superhero team killed near the end of World War II and the predecessors to Payback as well as Vought-American's earliest attempts at creating superheroes. They were also the company's first attempts introducing superhumans for the United States military, a goal that as of yet still hasn't been accomplished in the decades since.

=== Battle of the Bulge ===
In 1944, near the end of World War II, Jewish scientist Jonah Vogelbaum escapes to the United States and helps produce Compound V (his super solider formula) for Vought. 
== Trivia ==
* They are a parody of Golden Age superhero teams that existed during World War II such as the All-Winners Squad of Timely Comics (Marvel) and Justice Society of America of DC Comics.
* Like Payback, their namesake evokes Marvel Comics' superhero team, the Avengers.
