Lamplighter is a minor antagonist of the controversial adult comic book series The Boys.
He was the original member of The Seven, which was created by Vought-American. He served as the former enemy against the Boys during the time Mallory was in charge; he was also responsible for the group being active in secret after being beaten and then shot in the head by Mallory. He was resurrected by Vought-America but lost the brain function of a human being. He is Mallory's archenemy.
Personality[]
In the comics, Lamplighter seems to have a bad temper and a sadistic need to burn people alive for his gratification. He goes to the extreme by burning George Mallory's grandchildren as they bathed in a bathtub with no remorse as a form of retaliation against The Boys. However, after he was killed by them and resurrected by Vought, he became a mindless zombie with no high brain functions and was kept imprisoned as a result.
Biography[]
Comics[]
Just like the rest of the original members of The Seven, Lamplighter was born under experimentation and was given extreme amounts of Compound V during his mother's pregnancy. Later on, he became a member of The Seven with Homelander, Black Noir, Queen Maeve, A-Train, and The Deep. On 9/11, he injured both his ribs and lungs after colliding with a plane's wing.
During his time as a superhero, he fought against George Mallory and The Boys, along with the Seven. This resulted in a cease-fire when Lamplighter murdered Mallory's grandchildren. Yet instead of stopping, Lamplighter decided to further antagonize The Boys, leading to them brutally beating him before Mallory executed him.
After his death, he was resurrected into a brainless zombie without higher brain functions, mindlessly playing with his own feces while confined in a secret room. For a while, as a form of punishment, A-Train and Starlight were forced to feed him and clean his filthy room.

Trivia[]
- He is a villainous parody of Green Lantern. He also bears similarities to the X-Men villain Pyro.
- Despite being a parody of Green Lantern, his costume as well as his lamp in the series resemble Green Lantern much more than his comic-book counterpart. His costume appears to be more based off the outfit of Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern from the Golden Age of comics.
- When he's found in his zombified state, Lamplighter grunts "WARE MY PARRRRR!". This is possibly a reference to John Stewart's Green Lantern catchphrase: "beware my power!".
