## Hugh Campbell

### Weight

Unknown

**Hugh Campbell** (also known as Little Hughie, Wee Hughie, and simply Hughie) is one of the main protagonists of the 2006 comic series "The Boys."

## Background

Hugh Campbell grew up relatively peacefully in the fictional town of Auchterladle in Scotland. Detached from the world of warfare and superpower around him, Hugh's life was going somewhat well until one day Hugh took his girlfriend out on a date and as they were enjoying each other's company, a large man suddenly rammed into Hugh's girlfriend faster than the speed of sound because of the negligence of the incompetent mainstream hero known as A-Train, who hit the large villain toward Glasgow on accident. Hugh spent the following days in misery, and was approached by many representatives of the Seven who gave long excuses justifying what happened and coerced him into signing papers that would clear them of responsibility in exchange for monetary reparations.

The following day, Hughie moped in a park where he was found by Billy Butcher. Billy knew he was a victim of superhero violence and quickly became friends with him. From there, Billy offered Hughie the position as a member of The Boys. Hughie, despite his inexperience and reluctance to kill, grew accustomed to his new friends among The Boys.

When The Boys gained the attention of the corrupt teenage hero group, Teenage Kix, a fight broke out among the Boys and the Kix. Hughie merely defended himself until Kix member Blarney Cock began to seriously threaten Hughie's wellbeing. In response, Hughie punched a hole straight through Blarney's abdomen and killed him. From then on, The Boys had no choice but to become much more serious in how they handle superhero crime. Tensions between members of The Boys would only get worse when Hughie unknowingly began to date a new member of The Seven known as Starlight.

Hughie continues his missions of spying on other superheroes while juggling his relationship and keeping his occupation a secret. However, it would only be a matter of time until things began to go horribly wrong.
