The Boys: Billy Butcher’s Past, Explained

Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) doesn’t care about anything else besides his own sadistic need for vengeance, but every now and then The Boys can’t help but show his softer side. He’s been through a lot of dark things and his past is riddled with the type of traumatic events that would send most people into a deep dark depression. His childhood was abusive. His marriage to Becca (Shantel VanSanten) was both loving and tumultuous before her mysterious disappearance prior to the Amazon Prime show. Billy has spent most of his adulthood trying to break the spell around Vought-based superheroes (aka Supes).
