Hughie Campbell

Hughie Campbell is the main protagonist of the controversial comic book series The Boys, and the deuteragonist of its 2019 Amazon Prime adaptation.

Hughie is a relatively kind young man albeit very squeamish but is pushed into the realm of vigilantism in vengeance for his late girlfriend Robyn. He is the archenemy of A-Train, the best friend/brother figure to Billy Butcher and the romantic interest for Starlight.

He was portrayed by Jack Quaid in the TV series.

Origins
Hughie was a fairly standard young man in his twenties working a typical job as an electrical appliance salesman in a loving relationship with his girlfriend Robyn. Unfortunately however tragedy struck as he was struck down by accident by the speedster member of the superhero group The Seven known as A-Train much to the horror of Hughie.

Personality
Unlike many of his teammates Hughie had a very low tolerance for violence and was often repulsed at what his friends did to their enemies at times. He did end up loosening up later on however and became more relaxed. Hughie is a fairly incompetent and generally unreliable man as well in spite of being reasonably intelligent he lacks a great deal of common sense and will often not fully think a plan through before engaging in it.

Hughie is also quite weak willed and dishonest to those close to him at times although this is usually somewhat justified.

Appearance
In the comics Hughie appeared as a fair skinned gangly man with a strawberry blonde goatee and a close cropped (later shaved) hairstlye. He traditionally wore a black leather trenchcoat, blue jeans and a grey t-shirt.

In the TV Series Hughie remains fair skinned and very lanky and tall with a thin face and small chin but his hair is changed to be much thicker and is also brown and wirey. He is also clean shaven in this adaptation and dresses more like an everyday man wearing thin spring jackets along with several band shirts and simple jeans.
