warning! Spoilers for The Boys comics and TV show below!
When it comes to Marvel’s greatest heroes, Ant-Man doesn’t get much love. His ability to resize and talk to ants is inherently goofy, making him a laughing stock in the Marvel Comics Universe. However, his opponent boysa winged hero named Swatto, completely useless.
exist boys In the comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, the group of superheroes known as the Paybacks are Seven’s secondary group of heroes. Its members (especially the Soldier Boys) are yearning to join top superhero teams and go on quests to prove their worth. The team consists of Swatto (Ant-Man), Soldier Boy (Captain America), Stormfront (Thor), Mind-Droid (Vision) and the Crimson Countess (Scarlet Witch). Copycat Ant-Man is an insect themed hero who can only talk by making humming noises and can fly.
Swotto’s existence boys The universe is extremely short. The rest of the super noisy and Payback directed by Vought to finish off the boys. In the ensuing battle, Swatto is defeated by The Female and appears rather weak. As Payback Watcher, Swatto was stabbed through the body by a pickaxe, dying a quick, gruesome death as they attempted to carry out their quest.
Unfortunately for Sotto, he doesn’t have his own version of Pym particles or a convertible version to another size. Instead, he’s really just a guy who can only talk in a humming sound and can fly with his wings. It’s clear why he was never added to Sevens’ roster: Useless Swatto. He may be a good scout, but as a hero he will always be defeated. What will he do? Buzz someone until they die?
Sotto may be useless in the comics, but in boys TV show, if they choose to make him more of Ant-Man, he could still have a big role. Someone or something blew off countless people in the Amazon series, including the CIA’s Julia Reynolds, and several in the courtroom massacre in the show’s latest episode. It’s possible that Swatto had Ant-Man’s miniature powers and pulled Thanus out and blew their heads off by swelling in them. This is pure speculation, but it could explain death while making Swatto a semi-useful character. Since he’s a comic book character, Sotto is probably the most useless Superman boys The universe exists says a lot when considering how bad most of them are.
