Biography[]
Background[]
Little is known of Ezekiel's past, but he was presumably given Compound V as an infant by his parents, giving him the power of elasticity. In adulthood, he became a preacher, a speaker for Capes for Christ, an organization that promoted the belief that supes were chosen by God. While he denounced homosexuality and spreads that it could be cured with prayer, Ezekiel is closeted gay and sleeps with numerous men. It's also implied that he abuses men, as he is charged with multiple accounts of sexual misconduct by the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs in 2021.
The Boys[]
Season One[]
Due to his ties with Samaritan Embrace, Ezekiel is targeted by the Boys on the organization's latest shipment of a product known as Compound V. During a Capes for Christ convention, Ezekiel speaks on the word of God and shows off his elasticity to the crowd. After giving his speeches, he watches Homelander baptize new followers, including the Boys' newest recruit Hughie Campbell. Due to his phone short-circuiting from being baptized, Campbell lies to Ezekiel that he as a video of them having sex and blackmails him for information. Despite threatening Hughie, the supe agrees to prevent his reputation from being tarnished. With the information, Hughie tells Mother's Milk that the charity's latest shipment is heading to a hospital.
Season Four[]
Despite being charged by the FSBA and losing his position within Capes for Christ, Ezekiel continued to spread his views and worked with Firecracker to antagonize Starlight. During a break, he catches the Boys inside Firecracker's trailer and attacks Frenchie until he is confronted by Butcher. When he loses his arm from Billy using a fire extinguisher, Ezekiel attempts to kill Butcher before the latter's sentient tumor takes control and rips him apart.
