A-Train Origins - The Seven’s Fastest Jerk Member Who Is The Catalyst For The Boys - Explored

“A-Train, baby!”; “Can’t stop the A-Train!”; “Everybody loves the A-Train!” Okay, we might have made that last one up, but we can’t deny that Jessie T. Usher’s character on Amazon’s The Boys has some frighteningly corny catchphrases; and yet he somehow makes them work. A-Train is one of the newest members of The Seven at the beginning of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s superhero commentary series; but by its end, no one remembers him and with good reason. A-Train is one of the most despicable Supes under Vought’s employment and so pathetically insecure that even his teammates dislike him. Everything he does is for money and fame, and while it seems like his Amazon counterpart is the same at first glance, you’ll see just how much better Jessie Usher’s character is. The one thing that is the same in both the comics and the TV series is that A-Train is the catalyst that puts everything into motion. But who exactly is A-Train? What motivates him to become a superhero? Is he all talk, or does he have a heart hidden underneath all that bravado? And is he even alive after what happened in the Herogasm episode? We’ll answer all that and more in this video; this is A-Train’s Origins – Explored. Oh, and spoiler alert, because there’s gonna be a LOT of them.

I love A-Train's character on the Boys, and I'm glad you're appreciating the actor by name. A lot of the actors on that show are over shadowed by Anthony Starr but I truly believe it's an All Star cast, and Jessie T Usher is no exception. I love A-Train and I truly hope to see him redeem himself further

[Karlosify]

The Comic’s A-Train was a complete monster. The show’s A-Train is a prick, but at least with some redeeming qualities.

[TheGrungy]

A train in the show. Reminds me of how ageing athletes may act.

[RickPhoenix]

Homelander is not a "white supremacist" supe. Made it really clear on his last conversation with Stormfront, when he shunned all her "arian supremacy" BS. He simply has a god complex. Precisely for him not sharing her nazy mentality is why she suicided.

[duberdurm]

I loved that conversation between A-Train and Ashley in 3-7. Ashley is my favorite character.

[bkid]

Hopefully his redemption arc continues, maybe he’ll even help the boys now that he has his powers back, he’s easily one of my favorite characters on the show

[JackNCoke]

In the TV series, Homelander is way faster than A Train, example when he saved Butcher from Stilwells exploding house

[stranger]

They did the deep dirty. He was a sort of cool guy in the comics

[TheRuneTail]

The reason Flash can move others is because the Speedforce gives Flash a protective field

[bushidotestu]

In general I’m glad that the show has actually made most the of supes into actual characters in comparison to the comics which are mostly there to give us guys to hate and kill

[Jake.Nash]

I know that A-Train was totally just milking the Africa theme but I honestly love how his new suit looks

[Cassius]

Homelander isn’t racist, he just doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about what race you are, and he also doesn’t care if you are a racist or not.

[psychedelicsoul]

God damn A train fucking killed it in the previous episode that shit was fuckin nasty props to his character

[thereyou]

When A-Train kills Blue Hawk I was like "Bravo A-Train Bravo"

[Dragoboi]

in the show they give blue hawk's heart to atrain so he can use his powers without worrying about dieing form a heart attack

[drinkyourtea]

A train would still be able to MASSIVELY outpace every normal human even at 70 without V.

Great overview of Amazon Prime A-Train and his comic book counterpart!

[jlionmenelik]

I am glad they did a different version of a train in the tv show.

[ItamarO]

Jessie Usher is amazing, and I love to hate his character so much.
Dude does an amazing job.

[wdghk]

Thanks to Ashley, A train can never show his face at the community center ever again!🤣🤣
