Description
A-Train – the fastest superhero magnet at Vought with the most complex character arc about race and power.
A-Train / Reggie Franklin is the sprinter of the Seven — the fastest superhero at Vought who used Compound V to maintain his advantage, who had the first act of violence that made The Boys a different kind of show, and whom Eric Kripke developed throughout the seasons into an arc about race, institutionalization, and the contradictions of being a Black superhero in a company that used Black superheroes while replicating the power structures that oppressed them. This collectible A-Train magnet, compatible with Lego, represents the sprinter of the Seven.
Speed. Compound V. And the character the series used for the more specific argument about race and power.
The heart of the A-Train: racial contradiction in a system of power.
A-Train works in The Boys because the series didn't resolve the character in a simple way — the arc about race and institutionalization was complex enough that there wasn't an obvious position, and this made A-Train the most morally ambiguous character in the series throughout the seasons.
This A-Train magnet is for fans of The Boys — and Vought's fastest sprinter.
The legacy of A-Train: the sprinter with the most complex arc in the Seven.
Add this collectible A-Train magnet to your collection. Compatible with Lego, high-quality ABS plastic, strong magnet in the base. For fans of The Boys — and the series' more specific storyline.
