Biography
Comics
Just like the rest of the original members of The Seven, Lamplighter was born under Nazi experimentation and was given extreme amounts of Compound V during his mother's pregnancy. Later on, he became a member of The Seven with Homelander, Black Noir, Queen Maeve, A-Train, and The Deep. On 9/11, he injured both his ribs and lungs after colliding with a plane's wing.
During his time as a superhero, he fought against George Mallory and The Boys along with the Seven. This resulted in a cease-fire when Lamplighter murdered Mallory's grandchildren. Yet instead of stopping, Lamplighter decided to further antagonize The Boys, leading to them brutally beating him before Mallory executed him.
After his death, he was resurrected into a brainless zombie without higher brain functions, mindlessly playing with his own feces while confined in a secret room. For a while as a form of punishment, A-Train and Starlight were forced to feed him, and clean his filthy room.
TV Series
Lamplighter was member of The Seven, but has decided to retire, and Starlight takes his place. He is only featured in a flashback in the episode, You Found Me where Mallory mentioned that he killed her grandchildren. Despite not making any appearances, he is frequently mentioned by other members of The Seven. Also, there is a mural of him on the ceiling of their headquarters at Seven Tower.
He is later revealed to have been transferred to a hospital where he kills failed Supes.
