| ~ Silver Kincaid's last words as she has a mental breakdown before she dies. |
Silver Kincaid is a minor character in the controversial comic book series The Boys. She was a member of the superhero team, the G-Men, who wished to expose its founder, John Godolkin, for kidnapping her and the other members and for the decades of sexual abuse he put them through.
Biography[]
When Grace Wilhelm was eight years old, a pony she was riding on went crazy and ran five miles before her father caught them, this caused her hair to go white overnight from the shock of the incident, though her happy personality stayed the same. During her childhood, Grace formed a deep bond with her uncle, Paul, making him want kids of his own. When her Uncle Paul took her to Cranbrook for an ice-cream but had forgotten his change in a souvenir shop so he went back inside for half a minute but when he returned she was gone. The authorities looked for her everywhere but in vain. This incident devastated Grace's family: her mother died of grief-induced cancer, her Uncle Paul committed suicide, blaming himself for Grace disappearing while her father became a shell of a man, as he despaired over his daughter's disappearance, his wife's death and blamed himself for Paul's death as he had blamed Paul for Grace vanishing.
In reality, Grace, along with five other children were kidnapped by a man named John Godolkin to be members of his own personal superhero team. For weeks, Godolkin injected the children with Compound-V in an attempt to give them powers, which it did. In Grace's case, she gained highly telekinetic powers. Grace became the superheroine known as Silver Kincaid and she and the other five then became the first iteration of the superhero team known as the G-Men.
However, what went on behind closed doors was truly sickening. Along with wanting his own superhero team, Godolkin was a pedophile, and continuously sexually abused and raped Silver Kincaid and the other children for years, whilst brainwashing them into developing fanatical loyalty to him, and if that didn't work, bribing them with the knowledge that if any of them exposed the abuse he inflicted upon them, their glamorous lifestyle would end. Therefore, Kincaid and the others killed any G-Men that broke down from the abuse or wouldn't take the bribe.
Due to her powerful telekinesis, Godolkin and Vought-American gave her a special role: they employed her as an assassin, who would be the one tasked with killing either rogue G-Men, rogue supes or enemies of Vought. During her time with the G-Men, another member of the main team, Five-Oh, developed sexual attraction to her but she refused his advances, leading him to despise her. For unknown reasons, nearly all of the other G-Men hated her as well.
At some point, a member from the original team, Nubia snapped from the trauma she endured and tried to attack Three Mile Island. Silver Kincaid was dispatched to stop Nubia and used her powers to collapse Nubia’s heart in her chest. This incident, combined with Nubia's botched resurrection and Godolkin starting another Pre-Wiz team (where all the new children go), Silver Kincaid managed to partially break free of Godolkin's control and remember her previous life. She sought out CIA official Susan Rayner for aid, but rather than help Silver escape, Rayner instead used her as a spy.
For three years Silver Kincaid fed Rayner information about the G-Men, but after Godolkin started becoming suspicious, she begged Rayner to help her escape, but Rayner coldly refused. This betrayal, coupled with the years of sexual abuse, brainwashing that she couldn't fully fight, and the fear of Godolkin discovering her, Silver Kincaid finally snapped. She made her way to her hometown of Cranbrook, where she stood for hours in front of the store where Godolkin had kidnapped her nearly 30 years prior. Eventually, the Sherriff, Roger Davenport arrived and asked concernedly if she was alright, Silver Kincaid merely asked "Where's Uncle Paul" and committed suicide, using her powers to crush her own brain to the horror of Davenport and dozens of other civilians, and finally, her life of pain and suffering was over.
Legacy[]
Though she failed to bring Godolkin to justice in life, her death set in motion the events that would. Due to the minimum amount of information Silver Kincaid provided, Rayner ordered the Boys to infiltrate the G-Men to see why so many members went insane. While the new recruit, Hughie Campbell, infiltrated G-Wiz as 'Bagpipe, Billy Butcher investigated why Rayner was suddenly so interested in the G-Men while Mother's Milk investigated why Silver Kincaid had gone to Cranbrook to commit suicide, teaming up with Davenport to do so.
Meanwhile, Silver Kincaid's death caused Vought-American to double down on their plans to destroy the G-Men, as their constant incidents and suicides were threating to expose the company. Godolkin called all the G-teams to the G-Mansion for a memorial service. All of the G-Men were happy that Silver Kincaid was dead, especially Five-Oh.
Mother's Milk discovered Silver Kincaid's previous life as Grace Wilhelm, and met with her broken father, who described everything the family had gone through after she disappeared. Godolkin tried to convince James Stillwell to put Silver Kincaid through the resurrection process, despite the fact that it turned the subjects into braindead zombies at best, Stillwell refused to do it, and this ludicrous request further damned Godolkin in the company's eyes.
At Silver Kincaid’s funeral, she’s mocked incessantly by the other G-Men, who express their hatred for her and mock her statue and a bouquet of flowers in her image. Godolkin also does another speech that leaves all the other G-Men cringing at how dramatic and nonsensical it is, while also expressing horror when he hints that Silver Kincaid might be brought back like Nubia. Godolkin allows the leader of G-Style, King-Helmet to give an eulogy, at first he claims that he was close with Silver (though Five-Oh reveals that she detested him so much that he made her want to join the KKK) but then uses his platform to start a fight with G-Coast.
Eventually, the Boys learn the truth of what Silver Kincaid and the G-Men went through, but are confronted by the whole franchise. Before either group could fight, Vought-American, having had enough of covering up Godolkin's crimes, have the paramilitary Red River slaughter Godolkin and every member of the G-Men, avenging Silver Kincaid's suffering.
Mother's Milk would later tell Mr. Wilhelm that his daughter was dead. While Davenport hoped that it would help Mr. Wilhelm finally put the past behind him. Mother's Milk theorized it was more likely that this final loss would push the man to commit suicide, but he still deserved to know the truth, it is unknown if he did kill himself or not.
