Though I think Ennis and Kripke would pretend they are the supervillains of the story. Again, I don't really see The Boys as being primarily a superhero story as being about the idea of heroes and celebrities treated as if they are somehow better than human. Even looking at the story of The Boys in the show, most of the heroes are piss-poor fascists. They are essentially a master race, but they are about as well-organized as an 80's hair metal band.
