With the show returning for a second season, the political commentary of the comic-book adaptation has been dialled up – setting a new standard for how these superstalwarts should be treated on screen. The shady corporation that owns the supes, Vought, feels like a dark mirror of Disney – the company that owns Marvel. The introduction of a superhero, Stormfront (Aya Cash), is central to this. The second season takes the premise of the series – profit-hungry superheroes more interested in themselves than the greater good – and runs with it. Season two of The Boys starts on 4 September on Amazon Prime Video
