The Boys S5 Fires Up a Lava-Fed Rock-Hard Parody of The Thing
TL;DR Summary
Season 5’s second episode introduces Rock-Hard, a gross, lava-spouting parody of The Thing who massively expands after a failed anti-Supe virus test; Butcher, Starlight, and Kimiko try the virus on him, but the plan goes wrong and most of Teenage Kix pay the price, with Soldier Boy surviving in the cliffhanger. Showrunner Eric Kripke and writer Jessica Chou explain the satirical take on superhero tropes that led to Rock-Hard’s design.
