HUGHIE CAMPBELL.

canon divergences.

My portrayal of Hughie Campbell is mainly show based but with some relatively big changes based on the comics. A quick run down of my take:

• Hughie speaks with an American accent like in the show, as he was born and grew up in America, but he comes from a Scottish-Irish family.

• Hughie (along with the rest of The Boys depending on the plot) is injected with a variation of Compound V that enhances their durability and strength, as well as giving them a unique power. In Hughie's case, this is the power to teleport.

• Hughie's teleportation does not make him naked. Considering he could grab Annie and teleport her as well as himself, it just seems strange to me that he can teleport something other than himself, but not clothes. So his clothes will stay on, thank you.

biography.

Hughie was born on April 24 to a family of Scottish-Irish descent as the first and only child of Hugh Campbell and Daphne Campbell. Hughie would have a very normal early childhood having the support and love of both of his parents. However, his parents would eventually divorce and his father would end up getting custody. It is unclear what caused the divorce, but afterward Hughie's mother would not contact her son again. The fact that Hughie never saw his mother after the divorce led him to believe that he was abandoned by her.

After the divorce, Hughie's father would enter a period of deep depression and start consuming massive amounts of junk food as a coping mechanism. Due to this behavior, Hughie started seeing his father as a "loser", a fact that would make him acquire a deep insecurity over the idea of being "just like him". After becoming an adult, Hughie would acquire a job at a Bryman Audio-Visual store as a retail employee. He would also start a relationship with a woman named Robin Ward. 

Hughie was happy with his girlfriend Robin and they were discussing moving in together. However, their relationship was cut short after Robin was accidentally killed by A-Train, who was high on Compound V at the time. Hughie became hungry for revenge when A-Train was not punished for her death. Approached by a man named Billy Butcher, Butcher offered to help Hughie get that revenge. Hughie and Butcher split up after Hughie helped plant a bug in the Seven Tower, but the two swiftly got back together after Translucent entered Hughie's workplace and attacked Hughie in retaliation. Hughie and Butcher managed to take him down and lock him up with the help of one of Butcher's workmates, Frenchie. Hughie then eventually killed Translucent by detonating the bomb that Frenchie had placed in his ass, leading Butcher to reform The Boys and ask Mother's Milk, another workmate of his, for his help.

The Boys is a government-sponsored group of watchdogs for supes, tasked with policing, monitoring, and potentially stopping corrupt supes, by any means necessary. The members are injected with a variation of Compound V in order to make them be able to take on supes. The V gives them enhanced durability and strength, as well as a unique power. In Hughie's case, this is the power to teleport both himself and/or other things and/or people.
