**Benjamin**, better known as **Soldier Boy**, is America's first, greatest, and most popular superhero, whose genetics were used to create Homelander, thus making Soldier Boy his biological father. He was also the leader of his own superhero team, Payback, and together they led their fellow American troops in battle during World War II. It is assumed by the public that he had fought for justice and liberty for all until his disappearance during a botched operation in Nicaragua in 1984, with the cover story being that he heroically sacrificed his own life to save America from a nuclear power plant meltdown.

In truth, however, he was an extremely egotistical, abusive, and dangerous individual. He was awfully corrupt throughout his time as a hero and was responsible for the deaths of Mother's Milk's family members in the 1980's after he punched a criminal's vehicle onto Mother's Milk's family home. Because of his immense power and reputation, he felt worthy of absolute praise from the entire world, as he still considered himself a dedicated war hero. This resulted in Soldier Boy being betrayed by his team for his constant abuse towards them and being sold out to the Soviets in Nicaragua to be brought to Russia, where he was tortured and experimented on for decades to come.

## Attributes

### Powers

* **Artificially Enhanced Physiology** - To be added.
	+ **Superhuman Strength** - Soldier Boy, the most powerful superhero prior to Homelander and second only to him in terms of strength, possesses an incredible level of power that makes him one of the mightiest beings on the planet.
	+ **Superhuman Durability** - Soldier Boy is durable enough to withstand assault rifle rounds fired at point-blank range in his mouth, burning by oxy-acetylene flame, cutting by power-saws, and blades being struck against his eyes. Indeed, Russian scientists spent several decades performing experiments to test his durability, and ultimately failed to harm him.
	+ **Superhuman Speed** - To be added.
	+ **Superhuman Agility** - To be added.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina** - To be added.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes** - To be added.
	+ **Superhuman Endurance** - Soldier Boy's pain tolerance level is extraordinarily high. Even if he does bleed from the fights he gets into, he’ll barely feel a thing.
	+ **Enhanced Hearing** - Soldier Boy, being a Supe, has better hearing beyond that of ordinary humans, capable of hearing certain frequencies.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor** - To be added.
	+ **Longevity** - Despite having been born in 1919, Soldier Boy appears to not have aged at all since World War II, as he is still in his physical prime and has the appearance of a man in his mid-thirties. Utilizing previous knowledge, it can be presumed that Soldier Boy is immortal.
	+ **Radiation Generation** - After being exposed to high levels of radiation while being experimented on by the Russians, Soldier Boy's body appears to have started producing radiation on its own, this ended up effectively turning him into a walking nuclear reactor. This gave Soldier Boy incredible new powers, and ended up making him a lot stronger than he was before. Because of this, his body now emits high levels of radiation at all times. Due to this, there is a chance that his radioactive physiology makes him immune to both cold and hot temperatures. However, the amount of radiation that his body creates can also be affected by his emotional state.
		- **Radioactive Aura** - Due to the high amounts of radiation that he emits at all times, being near Soldier Boy for prolonged periods of time can likely cause radiation poisoning.
		- **Radiation Blast** - After gaining the power of a nuclear reactor, Soldier Boy now possesses the ability to fire tremendously powerful blasts of radiation-infused energy from his upper torso. He can release the energy as a forward-facing beam which lasts several seconds before his energy is depleted. He often scythes the beam by changing his direction as the beam discharges, creating a wedge-shaped or omnidirectional wave of destruction. The beam is incredibly destructive, powerful enough to completely vaporize a normal human, and reduce another Supe to a charred corpse.
		- **Self-Detonation** - To be added.
