Panels: The Boys, Vol 8: Highland Laddie

Hughie: “Aye, you see, that’s the thing that’s always bothered me about supes… or maybe just the idea o’ supes. All right, so you’ve got your powers, but you’ve no idea how to do what you’re doin’, have you? So why do you just–dress up like a load o’ bams and start in? I mean if you wanna help folk, why d’you no’ go along to a hospital an’ say–I could work here, I could fly casualties in after an accident or offer to kick doors down for firemen, or whatever. I mean they could at least train you properly, couldn’t they…?”

Annie: “Good question.It never came up for us. But… with hindsight, I’d guess that Vought don’t want superpower anywhere near federal hands. Or local services either.”

Hughie questions why superheroes don’t use their powers to actually help people rather than destroy things.
