The Boys explores what happens when superheroes, who are treated like A-list celebrities, abuse their super-abilities instead of using them for the greater good. In an effort to hold these powerful beings -- known as the Seven -- accountable for their actions, a group of powerless vigilantes embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multi-billion dollar company that no only manages them but covers up all of their dirty deeds.
The Boys' eight-episode first season debuts on Amazon on Friday, July 26.
