Bombsight Arrives in The Boys Universe, With a New Spinoff Set in the 1950s

The Boys Season 5 drops a tantalizing thread about a brand-new supe tied to the franchise’s early history: Bombsight. As the main crew scours for ancient V1 vials—the original Super serum that could shield them from threats like the virus—Fort Harmony becomes the backdrop for a discovery that hints at a larger MID-century saga. When MM and Frenchie uncover a rusted safe and a stash of heroin, it points straight to Bombsight, a military-style hero with a dark twist.

Who is Bombsight? The spinoff’s Big Reveal

Bombsight is described as a military-grade supe built using the same V1 formula that conferred extraordinary longevity on Soldier Boy. In the ongoing season, the character remains off-screen, but the wheels are clearly in motion for a new chapter. The post-Season-4 tease points toward a backdoor pilot that connects The Boys to Prime Video’s next big project, Vought Rising.

Vought Rising: A 1950s Prelude to the Superpowered World

Vought Rising is billed as a period piece following the U.S. military factions that field supe-powered soldiers during the 1950s. Bombsight would anchor the Air Force side of this world, wearing a classic airman vibe. The cast rounds out with Elizabeth Posey as Private Angel, Will Hochman as Torpedo, and Aya Cash reprising Stormfront under a new codename, Liberty. Jensen Ackles is also linked to the broader story, expected to feature Soldier Boy’s origin in this era.

Context: Immortality via V1, and a Tenuous Link to Soldier Boy

The story frames Bombsight as one of several early supers engineered by the Nazi-affiliated Frederick Vought, all sharing immortality thanks to the V1 serum. Soldier Boy’s arc mirrors this experimental lineage. While Bombsight hasn’t popped up in Season 5 yet, the hints in Episode 4 suggest he’ll surface as the team zeroes in on the V1 formula. The depiction of leftover heroin hints at personal demons that could complicate his trajectory.

As we wait for Bombsight’s move into The Boys Season 5 and the arrival of Vought Rising, fans can keep an eye on Gen V Season 3 updates and other prime-time offerings this month.
