Have you ever imagined what it would be like if Batman tried to get it on beneath the covers with Alfred? Perhaps if Iron Man attempted to impose his will on Ultron? You create Tek Knight when you combine two powerful superheroes and give them a warped mindset and an obsessive need to make love to everything with a hole.
He was an eccentric millionaire who lived in a cave and possessed no abilities, yet he was a founder member of the super-group Payback. Tek Knight created an uber-powerful mech suit to use as a substitute for superpowers. However, he got a fist-sized tumor in his head shortly after, and he went insane as a result.
Tek Knight was involved in a slew of wicked activities that even comic book fans can’t fathom. However, it is well known that Amazon Prime’s The Boys has no qualms with presenting all of the explicit and R-rated content, and if there is one thing we admire about The Boys, it is that it does not water down its source material.
As a result, there’s a good chance Tek Knight may appear on this wacky program shortly. In this video, we will explore Tek Knight and his tryst with the world. Without further ado, let’s have a look at the four comic issues that tell the story of Tek Knight’s genesis.
Who Is Tek-Knight
TekKnight was one of the supes who created the villainous super-group Payback. As far as Payback is concerned, you can compare it with any of the evil groups of supervillains from the DC or the Marvel universes. However, it is important to note that Tek Knight is more of a mantle that a person holds. The current Tek Knight is actually the third one to hold this title, while the previous two versions of Tek Knight were called Steel Knight. Interestingly enough, Tek Knight is different from the other superheroes in The Boys universe because he could never get his hands on Compound V, or the superhero serum.
Distraught by this, he chose to depend entirely on technology. So, one may say that Tek Knight’s character is somewhat based on Batman; I mean, he sometimes operates from a cave that houses his headquarters. Apart from having no actual superpowers, Tek Knight has a sidekick named Laddio; this is something else that separates him from the other supervillains in the franchise.
Tek Knight would go about his regular villainous activities, until one day, a large tumor the size of a fist started to grow inside his brain. The tumor resulted in Tek Knight developing an overpowering sense of hedonism. He developed an uncontrollable urge to make love to just about anyone and anything, in his own words, if it had a hole, he could do it. Well, that’s some twisted stuff, but that’s precisely the kind of stuff that The Boys comics were famous for, or should we say notorious. Nevertheless, let us explore issues seven through ten of the comics and dive deep into this supervillain with an undying sexual psychosis.
The comic begins with Tek Knight sitting in a psychiatrist’s chamber, where he discusses his exceedingly uncontrollable urge to stick his stick into just about anything he can find, be it a hole in his cave or his robotic colleague. The doctor asks Tek Knight to describe his ordeal from the beginning. So, Tek Knight and other members of Payback got tipped off about a certain terrorist army trying to infiltrate.
He flew with Mind Droid, Stormfront, and others to the location, but the tip-off turned out to be false. On their way back, Tek Knight’s mind was struck with the strangest thought that ever occurred to him, but strangely, this thought seemed very normal to him, almost natural. He happened to notice Mind Droid’s rear end, and I mean, really notice it. He tried to get it on with Mind Droid, the robot, but of course, that didn’t come to pass. The unacceptable behavior led to Tek Knight being expelled from the second most powerful superhero team, a team that he once founded.
Next thing we know, Tek Knight found himself in the company of his niece’s chinchilla. And let me assure you, the encounter with Tek Knight didn’t end well for the rodent. Tek Knight was later seen by his sister burying the pet rodent, and of course, she banished him from seeing her daughter again. The psychiatrist left Tek Knight for a while to take a phone call, but returned to find himself disgusted by what Tek Knight had done. The shrink picked up his cup of coffee to find something floating in it and doubted that it must have been the cat, but then Tek Knight asked for some burn ointment while holding his crotch.
The doctor had seen enough, and asked Tek Knight to get out of the chamber and ordered him to never return. Meanwhile, The Boys learn that the superhero Legend’s sister’s grandson had been killed, and the Legend suspects the superhero Swingwing to be behind it. Now, Swingwing used to be Tek Knight’s Laddio, but he left Tek Knight to find his own cause and purpose. Tek Knight returns to his cave and finds the current Laddio working out. As the sidekick bends down to stretch, Tek Knight feels the urge to do his own ward.
The feeling fills him with disgust, and he sends off his ward on a superhero quest. He asks Laddio to visit all the superhero groups of the world and train under them. Laddio tells him that it could take years, but that’s exactly what Tek Knightwants, to be away from Laddio for as long as possible.
Hughie and Butcher begin investigating the kid’s brutal murder, but don’t seem to reach any conclusion. They wish to meet Swingwing, their prime suspect, but they’ll have to knock on many doors before they are able to meet Swingwing. Meanwhile, at Tek Knight’s mansion, he is asking his butler to reconsider leaving him. Tek Knight begs his butler to not leave the service as the butler has been serving the family for quite some time. It is here that Tek Knight’s real name is revealed to be Robert Vernon.
It turns out that Tek Knight had assaulted the poor butler’s ear. Trust me, friends, I was as shocked as you are when I read the comics. I do not want to sound weird, but the butler did have other holes, right? Why the ear? Nevertheless, the butler leaves with a promise to take all of Tek Knight’s secrets to the grave. Hughie and Butcher connect the dead kid to a gay bar, and decide to make a visit. From one of the patrons, they learn that the Swingwing and Tek Knight used to visit the bar on a regular basis, and while Swingwingused to speak to the members of the bar with enthusiasm, Tek Knight hated being there. The scene shifts to Tek Knight’s mansion, where he is over a call with someone mysterious.
The guy on the other side tells Tek Knight that his dirty secrets have been revealed to Vought American and that his suspension from Payback might just turn into a termination. Tek Knight asks the man about the person who’s spilled Tek Knight’s beans, but all his requests turn into ashes.
However, just before the call is disconnected, Tek Knight is told that it was Laddio who had informed Vought about his dirty secrets. Later, Butcher and Hughie land up on Tek Knight’s door. He was calling out to Thomas, his butler, to open the door, but realized that he was gone. Tek Knight then removes his uniform in haste and opens the door, where The Boys ask him if,by any chance, he was the Tek Knight?
If you think the comic was getting over the top, you have to wait till I finish explaining this one. So, Butcher and Hughie storm into the Vernon Mansion and begin looking around. They enter the library, where Butcher tries to find the books that start with the alphabet P. All the while, Vernon tells the guys that he’s not the one they were looking for and that he’s definitely not Tek Knight.
However, Butcher finds a book written by Edgar Allan Poe, and it settles the dust around Vernon’s identity as Tek Knight. He gives in to the men believing that they were the government instead of law enforcement, and clearly, he doesn’t want any more trouble than he already had. He tells The Boys that Swingwingis are gay and that they should be looking for Swingwing instead of himself.
The Boys ask him for Swingwing’s whereabouts, but he claims to not know it. Furthermore, he threatens them that he is reaching the limit of his civil behavior, and The Boys show themselves out. However, it’s not before long that the millionaire socialite’s identity reaches the newspapers. In addition to that, the papers mention his perverted nature and how he tried to rape the butler.
The Boys pay Tek Knight another visit, only this time, they were more prepared to fight him off. Tek Knight breaks down in no time and reveals about Talon, a young girl with superpowers who often switched sides. She was the kind of person who was stopping crime when she was not stopping it. At this point, I can not help but smell Batgirl, do you? Nevertheless, what Tek Knight revealed next, blew everyone’s mind. So, Talon, Tek Knight and Swingwing, who was then serving as Tek Knight’s Laddio, realized that they were nothing but playing a game of chase. Essentially, they were all birds of the same flock.
But then Talon disappeared, only to return after two years. The trio met for a get-together, and there was alcohol, there was music, you know how it goes! One thing led to another and Tek Knight found himself on a couch where Talon and Swingwing were making out.
All hell broke loose when Tek Knight found himself becoming a part of this one-night stand. To give you perspective, Swingwing was his ward, and the two men were making love to the same girl. With his truth out in the open, Tek Knight lost all his respect among the superhero community as well as the common people. He found himself alone amidst a sea of people. While taking a stroll out on the streets, he noticed that a mother and her young child were going to get smashed under a wheelbarrow full of bricks. He launched himself to stop the calamity but got his head struck by the bricks.
That was the end of Tek Knight, but in his mind, he died a valiant death. Apparently, Tek Knight’s mind made him believe that Earth was caught in the way of a meteor storm. A massive meteor was heading towards Earth, and the impact would be catastrophic enough to annihilate Earth. Tek Knight flew to outer space and made such hard love with the big meteor that it exploded, and the impact of the explosion killed Tek Knight.
Why Is Tek Knight A Perfect Member for Seven In Live-Action Version Of The Boys?
Amazon Prime’s The Boys is not known to dilute the R Rated content of the source material. The Boys comics are anything but suited for children, and I must say, they are a little too offensive for even adults. If you think about it, from Butcher’s vibrant vocabulary to all the exploding anuses and the brutal death sequences, the live-action show becomes exceedingly depraved as the series progresses.
And this was the case with the comics; as the storyline progressed, the comic panels began depicting things that readers never expected. So, with such a setting, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the showrunners brought Tek Knight into the fold, and depicted him going after anything and everything, man, woman, animals, and objects. Having said that, it may seem unlikely to some that Amazon will allow the extremely graphic scenes from the comics to be translated into live-action. But have no doubts, people, the things we have seen in the Boys were never anticipated in any other show about superheroes; so basically, anything is possible. I am wondering what you thought about this hedonistic
