| ~ Naqib's catchphrase. |
Naqib is a minor antagonist in the 2019 Amazon Prime TV adaptation of the highly controversial comic book series The Boys. He is a superpowered terrorist who has the ability to self-detonate.
He was portrayed by Krishan Dutt in the first season and Samer Salem in the second season.
Biography[]
Naqib was one of the few terrorists that was experimented on when Homelander had A-Train run around the world to give Compound V to various terrorist groups to create "Supe Terrorists" for The Seven to fight and convince the US government to allow superheroes into the military. He is first seen in Season 1 in footage blowing up a SEAL team that infiltrated his compound and walking away unscathed.
In Season 2, Black Noir is sent by Stan Edgar, the CEO of Vought International, on a secret mission to "clean up" the mess that was made by Homelander. While Naqib and another terrorist were discussing possible catchphrases and slogans for his brand, Black Noir killed the terrorist and then Naqib by decapitating him.
