The Boysseason 4 takes one cameo from Sony’sSpider - gentleman’s gentleman : Across the Spider - Verseand make it boundlessly darker thanks to some deep brown cake , a secure password , and golf hole where holes should n’t be . The Boyshas parodied many Marvel and DC superheroes , and Spider - Man finally acquire his turn in season 4 , episode 6 . After setting up the supe ’s debut with an Easter ball on the character choice screen of Ryan ’s Vought television game , The Boysseason 4 introduces Webweaverproperly in " Dirty Business . "
Dan Mousseau joinsThe Boysseason 4 ’s castas the official Webweaver , but the wanderer - themed suit is mostly worn by Jack Quaid ’s Hughie throughout episode 6 . As a substance of infiltrating Tek Knight ’s manor , Hughie dons Webweaver ’s outfit and is subjected to a string of undesirable human activity at the hands of both Tek Knight himself and Vought ’s Ashley Barrett before Kimiko and Starlight drive to his rescue . Hughie ’s day personate Webweaver is traumatic and redoubtable , but made all the darker by a secret connexion to the 2023 animated movieSpider - Man : Across the Spider - Verse .
Gen V first introduced Tek - Knight to the universe of Amazon Prime ’s The Boys , and here are the character ’s powers , history , and comic changes .
Jack Quaid Also Played Earth-65 Peter Parker In Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse
Webweaver Isn’t Quaid’s First Spider-Rodeo
The Boysseason 4 is actually not Jack Quaid ’s first time playing a form - of - not - quite variation of Spider - Man . Sony ’s hugely successfulSpider - Man : Across the Spider - Versefeatured a glut of representative cameos bringing different Spidey discrepancy to animation , and Quaid was among them as Earth-65 ’s Peter Parker , who turns into Lizard instead of Spider - Man . The fact thatQuaid portrays both an prescribed version of Peter Parker in a licit Marvel picture andThe Boys ' twisted parodyof that character makes Hughie ’s time as Webweaver all the more shocking .
Putting Jack Quaid in the Webweaver kit is likeThe Boyscasting an ex - Batman actor as Tek Knight , or charter Paul Rudd to walk around another man ’s urethra . It creates a stronger connecter between the parody and the franchise being parodied , and whatever happens toThe Boys ' warped interlingual rendition feels like it ’s happening to the genuine Marvel or DC character . In Quaid ’s case , his condition as a right Peter Parker thespian makes it feel like the existent Peter Parker - not just a comedic ripoff - is the one being demand to dounspeakable act in Tek Knight ’s cave .
It’s Dark, But The Boys Proves Jack Quaid Would Be A Great Live-Action Spider-Man
The MCU’s Next Spider-Man Actor?
From the masque smelling of " tail end sweat and disordered dream " to squelching a chocolate bar with his buttocks , very slight of the existent Spider - Man ’s daily schedule crosses over with Hughie ’s experience inThe Boysseason 4 , installment 6 . Nevertheless , there is something about seeing Jack Quaid in a spider - suit that undeniably confirms him as a perfect alive - action Spider - Man . Stan Lee create Spider - Man to be the every - world sub the vast absolute majority of other funny superheroes were not , and Jack Quaid ’s Hughie occupies that same function forThe Boys .
After seeingThe Boysseason 4 ’s conniption of Hughie hit Webweaver ’s mask to give away his put off , boylike face , it ’s no huge leap to imagine him doing the same with a reddish and blue costume .
Just as Spider - Man is n’t a vengeful Nox - sneak like Batman or a divine savior of Superman ’s like , Hughie stay directly counterbalance to the reckless fury of Butcher and the resplendence - seeking ego of Homelander . Additionally , after seeingThe Boysseason 4 ’s scene of Hughie removing Webweaver ’s mask to unveil his upset , boyish reflection , it ’s no huge leap to imagine him doing the same with a ruby-red and dispirited costume as live - action Peter Parker in a Marvel movie .

The Boys has been satirize renowned worker and role since S1 , but it might have crowd the envelope too far with its time of year 4 Zendaya gag .
It ’s a function Quaid has perfected across four season ofThe Boys , and seeing the doer in Webweaver ’s suit only underline the equivalence . After starting his career as a sneer baddie inThe Hunger Games , Quaid ’s affinity for humble , human Hero of Alexandria seriously trying to help others has made him well - suited forThe Boys ' Hughie , ideal for Peter Parker inSpider - Man : Across the Spider - Verse , and hone for a future unrecorded - action Spider - Man .
