The show may have made characters like Soldier Boy great, but completely missed out with Tek Knight.
THE BOYS – SEASON 5 TRAILER | Prime Video
The latest episode of The Boys got into some pretty nasty dirty villains, attributing them to his universe's version of Batman: Tek Knight. The character serves as a kind of Expy of Iron Man and Batman at the same time, and has a strange affliction of engaging in intercourse with anything that has a, well, hole.
Focusing on his sexual deviance more than anything else, the comics actually got a lot more going for the character. The series just says the character is rich and kind of Cassanova like Bruce Wayne/Tony Stark, but never bothers to explain why he's called Tek Knight. The show doesn't even do the character the courtesy of showing his costume, which several fans cite as a reason why they prefer the comic book version of the character.
In the comics, Tek Knight is portrayed as more than just a rich man with a scary power. Tek Knight has a suit that basically makes him this universe's Iron Man, with a very strong helping of a tumor-induced sexual deviation.
