Another bizarre moment that season 4 provided was Edgar’s farm. A place where Neuman had hidden a scientist and tasked them with creating a supe virus. Unfortunately, the compound V they were using in their tests leaked into the water supply. Turning the innocent and gentle farm animals into superpowered murderous nightmare fuel. With sheep in particular shown to be ripping someone apart limb from limb. A scene which is sure to churn your stomach.

Fresh off of the Ant-Man/Thanos Butt hype/craze that had fans hoping Ant-Man would defeat the MCU’s big bad by enlarging in his rectum. This obviously didn’t happen, but The Boys took inspiration and had the character Termite, who’s power resembles those of Ant-Man/Pym-Particles, do something similar. Although the person he exploded from the inside wasn’t the villain, he wasn’t even a bad guy. Rather, he was Termite’s lover. A rather unfitting end to someone he had great feelings for.

During the premier episode of the second series, The Boys go to meet the “CIA Lady” when during their meeting her nose starts bleeding. Suddenly, her head explodes in a mess of blood, gore, and brains. Leaving The Boys as terrified as they were confused. This also served as an amazing showcase of Neuman’s power. There may have been far more budget heavy shocking or gruesome moments, yet the first head explosion will forever be the most shocking scene in The Boys simply for sudden it was. It came out of nowhere and shocked everyone, The Boys and the audience.
