Summary[]
A-Train is one of the main characters in the Amazon series The Boys. He is a speedster who used to be a part of a team known as Teenage Kix but is now a member of The Seven. He inadvertently killed Robin Ward (Hughie Campbell's girlfriend) with his powers while high on Compound V, which led Hughie to join The Boys for revenge. A-Train is a member of The Seven and the current "fastest man in the world" but underneath the cavalier exterior of a celebrity superhero, lies the soul of a mortal athlete with deep insecurities about staying at the top.

Speed: At least Subsonic (Should be faster than his weakened state even without the use of Compound V, but he was still afraid of losing a race against Shockwave. Went back to his locker room to shoot up with Compound V without anyone noticing. Ran so fast that people appeared to be frozen. It was stated that cameras need to catch up to 5,000 frames per second just so that he can be visible at all times), up to Supersonic with Compound V (Has a explicit running speed of 371 m/s, which was done after being amped by unknown amounts of Compound V to cheat on a race. Its previous record was 339 m/s. Butcher estimated that he could search all of Manhattan in 30 minutes) | Varies from Athletic Human (Could hit The Deep before he could react) to Subsonic (Stole a Vial of Compound V from Starlight before she could react.

Weaknesses: His addictive overuse of Compound V has decreased his health, to the point where he eventually suffered a heart attack (though at the end of Season 3, he got a new heart transplanted). While he can achieve higher speeds than normal via Compound V, his reactions might not be on the same level, as seen when him obliterated someone's body by running through her somewhat accidentally. Due to his accelerated metabolism, he has to consume 3,000 calories per hour to maintain his energy without passing out while training. Obsessed with staying the fastest human alive. | Same as before. Running at high speeds for prolonged periods of time can greatly stress his heart, and when he pushed his limits, he eventually got another heart attack.
