- NOTE: This article is only for the original comics versions of The Seven. To see the article for the TV show's version of them, go to The Seven (TV Series).
The Seven are the secondary antagonists in the adult comic-book series The Boys from 2006 and its television adaptation.
They were a team of superheroes created by Vought-American who used their power and influence to gain fame and glory. Soon the Seven find themselves becoming rivals of a vilginant group called The Boys and will do anything to take them down.
Overall, The Seven serve as an analogy to DC’s The Justice League and, to an extent, Marvel’s the Avengers.
History[]
The Seven were created by Vought American injecting a substance called Compound V directly into seven pregnant women. This results in the births of stronger-than-average people: The Homelander, Black Noir, Queen Maeve, The Deep, Jack from Jupiter, Lamplighter, and Mister Marathon. A-Train and Starlight would be recruited onto the team to replace Mister Marathon and Lamplighter, respectively.
They were created in order for Vought-American to make profits by manipulating the public into believing they were a group of superheroes. However, due to The Seven's upbringings and mental illnesses, they became corrupt, with many members committing multiple crimes such as murder, rape, and even botched attempts at saving people that resulted in the deaths of countless innocents. This was apparent in their botched attempt to stop one of the planes during 9/11, which also led to the death of Mister Marathon along with thousands on the plane and the Hudson Bridge.
The CIA finding out leads to the formation of the Boys, a team created to keep the Supes in line, with one of their main tools being blackmail. Lamplighter becomes infuriated after being told The Seven were being blackmailed, so he leaves to stalk The Boys' leader, Greg Mallory, to his home and murder his family. This leads to the two teams coming to a cease-fire agreement: The Seven would not get involved in national defense, and the Boys would not interfere. Lamplighter was given up to the Boys, which led to his death and reanimation as a zombie.
Since then, The Seven and the Boys have had little interaction with each, other and the team is mostly shown at their headquarters while focusing on member Starlight. The Seven would soon dissolve and end with only two members surviving.

Trivia[]
- The Seven is a dark parody of superhero teams from Marvel and DC properties such as The Avengers and Justice League. In general, the Seven is much weaker than both the Justice League and the Avengers, and the two organizations work independently of any governments or corporations.
- They are also an equivalent of supervillain teams such as DC's Legion of Doom and Marvel's Masters of Evil & Squadron Sinister.
- They are also based on the Crime Syndicate of America, as they are an evil version of the Justice League with a similarly different power set.
