The Boys Season 3 is about to hit Prime Video while its brilliant promotion involving Soldier Boy continues to engage audiences’ attention. The Boys have continued to spoof Marvel’s Captain America by having Soldier Boy deliver an anti-drug public service announcement.
The Soldier boy is a character played by Supernatural star Jensen Ackles. Soldier Boy is a superhero from World War II who is brought out of retirement for reasons yet to be revealed. He has previously been described as the “Homelander before Homelander.” In the original comics, Soldier Boy was portrayed as innocent but the show’s version will show him with many of the worst traits.

Soldier Boy Saying “Not Cool” To Those who Use Drugs
The Soldier Boy would link him to Captain America because of his costume, shield, and origins as a World War II-era hero. Though there are similarities, this latest clip will clarify these two characters in viewers’ minds. While Captain America is often considered first a man of virtue and honor, it is more than likely that the former will be presented as anything but. The former emphasizes “Taking Drugs is not cool,” fans of the series will understand the irony that many Supes use illicit drugs.
