SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The Boys season 4 has just revealed a major detail about Billy Butcher, and since it is implied that the character now has superpowers, here are 10 powers that he could have in the series. The Boys season 4 is finally here, with the highly anticipated continuation of Amazon's critically acclaimed superhero series now releasing on the streaming service.
Related The Boys Season 4's Rotten Audience Score Explained: What's Really Going On Amazon Prime Video's The Boys has always received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, but The Boys season 4 is a somewhat different story. Billy Butcher violently ripping Ezekiel apart would match up with the scene of the killing when Butcher wakes up, as his body parts are strewn across the trailer, and the blood has splattered in various shapes. Giving Billy Butcher super strength would also allow him to take on supes like Homelander in the future of The Boys, so this power would be a good long-term addition to the character.
Energy blasts are a power that have been frequently seen in The Boys, with Naqib blasting energy pulses out of his body and Soldier Boy blasting radiation out of his. Although Soldier Boy's blasts didn't naturally come from Compound V, Naqib's did, meaning that Butcher could have obtained the same power from his use of the substance. This would explain Ezekiel's gory appearance in The Boys season 4, episode 4, with it being a powerful new addition to Butcher's arsenal.
4 Power Copying Not Currently In The Boys Close One of the most interesting powers that Billy Butcher could have in The Boys season 4 is the ability to copy the powers of other supes. Although it hasn't been explained fully how this theorized power would work in The Boys, Ezekiel's death makes it seem as if Butcher would simply have to be near another supe in order to mimic their powers, allowing him to use it against his assailant.
2 Vein Control Not Currently In The Boys Close Although the aforementioned powers are frequently seen abilities that exist in all kinds of different pieces of superhero media, including The Boys itself, that isn't all that the show has limited itself to. The Boys has also come up with oddly unique superpowers, with the supe villain Love Sausage having the power to control his penis and use it as a weapon.
