Benjamin , better known as Soldier Boy , is one of the two overarching antagonists alongside Stan Edgar of the Amazon series The Boys , where he served as one of two main antagonists alongside Homelander of Season Three and the overarching antagonist of Season Four. He was America's first and greatest superhero before Homelander and the former leader of the superhero team Payback. However, it is not made clear how much of that is true, as The Legend claimed that his participation in the war was Vought propaganda whereas Stan Edgar actually claims the opposite by stating that he killed Germans by the dozens.
With his superhero team Payback by his side, he was said to have fought for liberty and justice for all until his disappearance during a botched military operation in Nicaragua, with the cover story being that he heroically sacrificed his own life to save America from a nuclear power plant meltdown in In reality, Soldier Boy was betrayed by his team for his aggressive behavior towards them and, with Vought 's approval, was sold out to the Russians, who would later conduct dozens of agonizing experiments on him over the next 3 decades.

The official backstory of Soldier Boy by Vought was that he was born poor and learned the values of hard work, tenacity, and bravery while growing up on the streets. In reality, Benjamin was born into a wealthy home under his distant, judgemental and overbearing father, a prominent industrial magnate who owned half the steel mills in the state. His father shipped him off to boarding school at a young age; not to mold him into a better person, but rather to get rid of him, leaving Ben feeling abandoned.
Unfortunately, Benjamin struggled in boarding school and ultimately flunked out, causing his father to deem him a disappointment and declare him unworthy to carry his name. To make his father proud, Benjamin enlisted in the US Army during WW2 and approached the war department by using his father's contacts to volunteer among other human subjects to be experimented with Dr. The experiment succeeded, and he became one of the first and strongest supes in the world.
Consequently, it remains uncertain how much actual combat he experienced during the war, despite his own claims of actively participating, which could be valid given his exceptional combat skills that could also stem from the U. Truman , to establish the date of April 28 as Soldier Boy Day as a way of honoring his heroic efforts during the war. However, Ben intervened and had the day be known as National Superhero Day as a way of honoring all superheroes instead.
