Blarney Cock

The Blarney Cock is a minor antagonist in the controversial comic book series The Boys. He was an Irish-born Supe and the bastard child of Queen Maeve and The Legend.
== History ==
Born the illegitimate son of The Legend and Queen Maeve, the boy that would become "The Blarney Cock" was raised in an Irish orphanage through the offices of Vought. When his powers manifested, he was then recruited, shipped to the US and rose up the ranks to Teenage Kix alongside his fellow supe Whack Job. 
When the Boys yet again used embarrassing information to undermine Vought via their aggregated knowledge of superhero sex lives, they targeted Teenage Kix. In Blarney’s case, he had been caught stealing drugs while visiting a children’s hospital. Later, having found out it was the Boys that put the team in a humiliating position, Blarney and the rest of the group tracked them down, seeking violent revenge. 
The Boys engaged in a brutal street fight with Teenage Kix, and while fighting Blarney Cock, Wee Hughie panicked and punched out his viscera, unaware at that time of the potential of his Compound V enhanced strength.
After receiving a public and highly televised funeral, Blarney was then the "fortunate" recipient of a Compound V assisted revivification, in an attempt to show that Supes were virtually invincible. However, the revivification process turned Blarney into a “retard” according to his old teammates, causing him to mumble incoherently and constantly urinate himself.
In his zombified state, Blarney sought out the hamster that was in his rectum at the time of his death... which brought him into conflict with its new owner - Wee Hughie - who promptly killed him again. Hughie then burned Blarney’s corpse to both cover his tracks and ensure that he would stay dead.
The Legend would later reveal that he despised Blarney and believed that Hughie had done him a favor by killing him. He was not mentioned once by Queen Maeve.

== Trivia ==
*His real name (Martin Nurse) was revealed during his funeral.
*A gerbil crawling out of his pants after being killed by Hughie Campbell is a refence to fictious phenomenon of "Gerbiling", an urban legend first recorded in 1984 about a supposed sexual practice among gay men (as well as male celebrities like Richard Gere) involving inserting rodents into one's rectum in order to gain sexual pleasure. Having lived though various pop culture appearances such as South Park, this "practice" has been long since debunked by researchers and journalists as homophobic rumours energized by the Aids crisis.
*Blarney is regarded as relating tall tales in a charismatic or interesting fashion. Cock is a synonym for Rooster, also slang for the penis. Slang or aliases which include the word "cock" indicate a person is irritating or overly confident, it can alternatively suggest a proclivity for fornication.
