In the most recent episode of The Boys, “Glorious Five Year Plan,” Jensen Ackles, the original Supe, was formally presented.
Soldier Boy made a big impression in the opening minutes of the fourth chapter, when Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso) saw a tape from an old variety program called Solid Gold. Ackles had appeared in the first three episodes through flashbacks. In this part, Ackles sang Blondie’s “Rapture,” showcasing his musical prowess.
The Solid Gold Dancers surround the Captain America-like figure as he sings into the microphone during a fun dance sequence that features flashing lights, a disco ball, and unique costumes. Lead vocalist of Blondie Debbie Harry took notice of Ackles’ delivery of the voluminous lyrics.

The singer took to Twitter, sharing the video of Ackles’ performance and writing, “Holy sh*t!! Epic @TheBoysTV.” In response, The Boys‘ Antony Starr tweeted at Harry, “Epic indeed!! The version you never knew you needed👍🏼😂.”
The songstress further revealed herself as a fan by responding to Starr’s tweet with, “Homelander lazer us!!!”
And this is just a small part of Soldier Boy’s role in the pivotal episode which saw the Boys travel to Russia in order to find a Supe-killing weapon and complete a job for Little Nina (Katia Winter), unaware that it would lead them to Soldier Boy himself. When the vigilantes infiltrated a secret lab, they uncovered a perfectly preserved Soldier Boy who is harboring some pretty powerful super abilities.
