The Boys
The Boysis one of theraunchiest , most violenttelevision series currently airing as the Amazon show does n’t obtain back when it comes to depicting how messed up their creation of malefic , corporal superheroes are . However , there ’s a character from the comedian , Jack From Jupiter , that is so ridiculous , that he was straight - up replaced on the series by a new part whole .
In the comedian by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson , The Seven are clearly inspired by zep from the Marvel and DC Universe . There ’s clean-cut mockery of Superman ( Homelander ) , The Flash ( A - Train ) , Iron Man and Batman ( Tek Knight ) , and even a bumbling version of theTeen Titans . One of the comedian ’s more obvious satirical payoff do in the form of Jack From Jupiter , an noncitizen who is clearlyThe Boys’twisted take on DC ’s Martian Manhunter . Unlike his more sombre opposite number , Jack From Jupiter was so bizarre , he was cut from the show ’s adaptation of The Seven .

Jack From Jupiter first appeared inThe boy # 4,as the only exotic - alike member of The Seven . He ’s got an alien - like coming into court and his powerfulness include trajectory and impenetrable skin and unlike his DC opposite number , he ’s a sexual activity - hungry , racialist , homophobe who ’s widely view to be the weakest member of The Seven . Jack is eventually kicked out of The Seven after it ’s revealed he secretly inspect lady of pleasure . He ’s later kill by Billy Butcher . All - in - all , Jack From Jupiter is ridiculous and forgettable .
However , there ’s a very sound reason he was supercede on the show . The Boysco - creator Eric Kripke discussed replacing Jack From Jupiter with Translucent in aReddit AMA . He revealed that the variety was made because having an exotic - expect graphic symbol would mess up with the mythology of the human characters being born with power . Kripke account Jack as always feeling " too marvelous for the world we were trying to create , " while admiring his sexual habit .
We ’re trying to make the show as ground as potential – and the story to the populace is that people were suddenly and spontaneously bear with these powers . ( That ’s not the accuracy of course , but Vought is pitch a sport like mythology to the public ) . To say one of their heroes is an alien kinda kills that myth . Jack always felt too fantastic for the human race we were seek to create . Though I do love his power to get that many penises into his butt .
WhileThe Boyssmallscreen adaptation is absolutely wild at time , total in an alien - looking character aright off the hop in spades would have taken away from the mythos surrounding supes . Jack From Jupiter ’s replacement , the inconspicuous Translucent , was a self-aggrandizing enough creeping in his own right wing to sate in for the foreign comic creation . Plus , the character was killed in the second episode , so perhaps , Jack is being salve for a more overarching plot line opposed to being a catalyst for The Boys . It seems Kripke made the right call in ignoring Jack From Jupiter - he ’s too antic compared to the other heroes and would potentially screw up the show ’s full premise of human - looking supes becoming more thanks toCompound V. That does n’t mean Jack From Jupiter wo n’t show up onThe Boyseventually .
