Mother's Milk

Mother's Milk was one of the original Boys. He left to raise his daughter because her mother abused drugs. Butcher has recently convinced him to return to the team.
Mother's Milk was born to a poor family in Harlem, and is the only one of The Boys to be born with Compound V in his blood. His mother was employed as a worker at a factory owned by Vought-American which had previously been used as a laboratory experimenting on Compound V. Most of the women who worked there subsequently died or suffered from severe medical conditions. Mother's Milk's brother was born mentally disabled and later died due to complications related to Compound V. Mother's Milk's father spent years trying to fight Vought American in the courts and, despite winning one case, he ultimately died while working on a follow-up case. Mother's Milk decided to join the Army and became a member of the Army boxing team. During the Army heavyweight championship, his Compound V derived powers suddenly activated and he accidently punched off his opponent's head. While being held as a prisoner by the military, he was approached by Butcher and Mallory with an offer to join the Boys. He accepted their offer. Mother's Milk serves as Butcher's second-in-command in the Boys and his calm logic is often an anchor within the team. Butcher has referenced him as the glue holding the team together.
