When considering the immense success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it seemed unlikely that a small-screen superhero series like The Boys would be able to compete. However, after three seasons and two spin-offs, The Boys is well on its way to challenging the cinematic juggernaut. The latest spin-off series, Gen V, has received an overwhelming response from both new and old fans, revealing the true potential of the franchise.

The credit for this achievement goes to showrunner Eric Kripke and his talent for storytelling. However, it was Jensen Ackles and his show Supernatural that gave Kripke the confidence to continue expanding the story. The success of The Boys is a breakthrough in the superhero genre that rivals the hype and success of the MCU.

This success has encouraged the creators to further explore this universe.
