Vought International

Not to be confused with The Boys
Vought International is a YouTube channel run by the promotional team behind the Amazon original TV series The Boys (2019), which is based on the Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson comic of the same name. Vought is a fictional entertainment conglomerate similar to Amazon & Disney, who creates toys, video games, theme parks, movies, & even porn.
==Fictional Background==
Vought was founded by a fictional Nazi scientist named Fredrick Vought, who worked for Adolf Hitler during World War II. Hitler gave him a job as a chief physician at the Dachau Concentration Camp where he experimented on human subjects to create Compound V, a serum that gives superheroes their power. 
Frederick Vought realized the Third Reich would be destined to lose the war, so he fled to the United States where former President Franklin Roosevelt pardoned him in 1944 & gave him his own organization where he can develop more Compound V. The tests were as shown by Soldier Boy (a parody of Captain America) & Vought's own wife Klara Risinger (also known as Stormfront) and Germany ended up losing just how Vought expected. Years later, Vought covers up their signs of originating in the Third Reich and became the mega corporation it is now, known for the worlds greatest superhero team, The Seven, and their great films, tv shows, & services. 
==Crimes ==
Vought is known for covering up things that can reveal their secrets, going their way to kill anyone they deem a threat to their business & reputation. An example of this is when the former mayor of Baltimore knows about the existence of Compound V, telling Madelyn Stillwell that he can keep it a rumor. Stillwell doesn't trust him & tells Homelander to laser down the mayor's private jet, which he does, killing everyone on board. Compound V is another example, being the main source of superpowers in the boys universe, Vought covered up its existence & a narrative that all superheroes were "chosen by god" to protect the earth.
==Content==
As the television series is meant to be a satire of superheroes, the YouTube channel plays along with the satirization, featuring trailers, music videos, vlogs and PSAs regarding Vought's heroes. The channel also has a news station dedicated to reports that are biased in Vought's favor. While some of the videos are related to what happens in the show, most videos parody celebrity culture and hero worship. 
===Parodies===
The channel parodies many popular figures of American pop culture. Here is a few of many examples:
