Billy Butcher (TV Series)

## Summary

**Billy Butcher** was the husband of Rebecca Butcher, a Vought International employee who disappeared after being violated by the Homelander. Following this, he accepts an invitation by Grace Mallory to join The Boys, a team she had founded aiming to expose the crimes of corrupt superheroes, but the team is disbanded after a failed mission ends with a hero killing Mallory's grandchildren. Eight to nine years later, Billy approaches Hughie Campbell when Hughie's girlfriend, Robin Ward, is accidentally killed by A-Train, with the two reforming and expanding the team as they launch a secret war against the Seven (and Vought) in an effort to end their superhero menace once and for all.
