黑袍糾察隊 The Boys [2019-][TV]

Storyline
The Boys is set in a universe in which superpowered people are recognized as heroes by the general public and owned by a powerful corporation, Vought International, which ensures that they are aggressively marketed and monetized. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant and corrupt. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the titular Boys, vigilantes looking to keep the corrupted heroes under control, and the Seven, Vought International’s premier superhero team. The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by the egotistical and unstable Homelander. As a conflict ensues between the two groups, the series also follows the new members of each team: Hugh “Hughie” Campbell of the Boys, who joins the vigilantes after his girlfriend is killed in a high-speed collision by the Seven’s A-Train, and Annie January/Starlight of the Seven, a young and hopeful heroine forced to face the truth about the heroes she admires.

本劇設定在一個超人類被一般大眾視為英雄並隸屬於大公司沃特國際企業的宇宙中，該公司將超級英雄作為行銷營利的工具，而超級英雄們充滿英雄作為的表面下其實自大且腐敗。本劇聚焦於兩個團隊：沃特的主打超級英雄團隊「七巨頭」以及目標是將腐敗的英雄們維持在控制下的私刑者「黑袍糾察隊｣。黑袍糾察隊由比利·布徹率領，此人鄙視所有超人類，而七巨頭則由自負且精神不穩定的護國超人率領。在兩方勢力衝突同時，雙方也迎來新成員：修·「修伊」·坎貝爾，他在女友遭到七巨頭的英雄膏鐵俠高速衝撞慘死後加入私刑者行列；而七巨頭的安妮·詹紐瑞／星光則是一名年輕且滿懷希望的女英雄，但在加入後被迫認清她所景仰的英雄們的真面目[1][2]，並在第三季正式離隊。「七巨頭」的其他成員包含理想幻滅的梅芙女王（被拘禁）、用藥成癮的膏鐵俠、無安全感且好色的潛水王、冷酷無情的黑俠（在逃）以及白人至上主義者風暴前線（死亡）。黑袍糾察隊則有戰術策劃師母乳、武器專家法國佬以及超能者紀美子。監管「七巨頭」的是瑪德琳·史迪威，其後被公關艾希莉·貝瑞特取代。

第一季描述黑袍糾察隊與「七巨頭」的首次衝突，其原因是布徹認定護國超人使他的妻子貝卡失蹤。在護國超人與瑪德琳謀劃向政府爭取對超級英雄的支持時，黑袍糾察隊試圖藉由揭露沃特的秘密來阻止他們。修伊與安妮一開始並不清楚彼此處於對立陣營，兩人在雙方衝突時發展出浪漫關係，而布徹並不信任安妮。
