Jasper Savage/Prime Video SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for the two-episode premiere of “The Boys” Season 5, now streaming on Prime Video.
The final season of “The Boys” is kicking things off with a bang — and by killing off one of its original supes.
After flipping sides and defecting from Vought to help the Boys last season, A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) is murdered by Homelander (Antony Starr) in the closing moments of the Season 5 premiere. A-Train selflessly saves Hughie (Jack Quaid) during his battle with Homelander at Vought’s “Freedom Camp,” then super-speeds away. However, he narrowly dodges a bystander during his dash and crashes in a forest. Homelander then catches up to the speedster and snaps his neck. It was a surprisingly heroic and full-circle ending for A-Train, who was introduced in the series premiere by killing Hughie’s girlfriend Robin during a drunken, high-speed run — which turned out to be the catalyst for Hughie’s revenge quest against Vought’s supes.
