The popular series, The Boys, has unveiled intriguing details about a new character who will feature prominently in the upcoming Vought Rising: Bombsight.
Mason Dye introduced this character in Season 5, Episode 6, where Bombsight makes a dramatic entrance by rescuing his beloved, Golden Geisha, from the clutches of Butcher and the Boys. However, when Soldier Boy arrives, aiming to seize the V-One, Bombsight stands his ground, ready for a showdown.
Bombsight, whose real name is Robbie, was once a member of Soldier Boy’s team during their early days with Vought. Gifted with V-One by the company’s founder, Frederick Vought, he possesses immortality and a power level rivaling Soldier Boy’s. While the full range of Bombsight’s abilities remains shrouded in mystery, his super strength and bulletproof nature are evident.
Throughout the season, Bombsight’s name has surfaced repeatedly, as he is believed to hold a rare dose of V-One. This episode confirms he has secretly kept it, hoping to persuade Golden Geisha to join him in immortality. Unfortunately for him, she is uninterested.
Soldier Boy’s ongoing grievances about Bombsight have been a recurring theme this season, setting the stage for a climactic conflict when they finally meet again.
It’s clear Bombsight is still harboring some jealousy about Soldier Boy’s popularity during their time working together. But the supes manage to set their hatred aside after a tense fight so Soldier Boy can help Bombsight get rid of his powers and immortality. As Bombsight complains about how highly favored Soldier Boy was, it perfectly tees up what fans can expect from Vought Rising when the series eventually premieres on Prime Video.
“You were everyone’s favorite from the start. Especially Clara,” Bombsight says in the episode. “Everything they wanted us to be, everything they were working towards they saw it in you. I fucking hated you for it.”
Now, who is this Clara who keeps being mentioned in The Boys Season 5?
Who is Clara in The Boys?
Fans might have noticed a certain supe named Clara getting mentioned quite a bit this season. This is another Vought Rising Easter Egg.
Clara is Clara Vought, or more commonly known as the superhero Stormfront who was played by Aya Cash in Season 2. Needless to say, she and Soldier Boy have a difficult history together, made all the more complicated now that Soldier Boy knows she also had a relationship with his son Homelander.
But Clara’s lore runs deep: She was also married to Frederick and is the first superhero to be successfully injected with V-One. Fans should also be well aware of Clara’s history with the Nazism and racism, which was discussed extensively in Season 2.
The episode serves as a major intro to Vought Rising, the upcoming spinoff series hailing from series creator Eric Kripke and executive producer Paul Grellong. The duo described the new series as “a twisted murder mystery about the origins of Vought in the 1950s, the early exploits of Soldier Boy, and the diabolical maneuvers of a Supe known to fans as Stormfront, who was then going by the name Clara Vought.”
Vought Rising will also star Elizabeth Posey as Private Angel and Will Hochman as Torpedo.
Fans now know how Bombsight and Clara’s story ended. But Vought Rising will give us a glimpse at these supes in their prime.
