Fans can see snippets of this prequel story in the new trailer for the show, which consists of eight short anthology episodes set in the world of The Boys. One episode focuses on Homelander speaking to reporters as he joins Vought’s elite team of superheroes.

“A chance to use my gifts to help make the world a better place,” he says. Now, is he lying or is this one of those times he genuinely believes he can make a difference? You know, before he becomes a sadistic sociopath.

“I understand your anger, but violence is never the answer,” he says later. Then we see him show his true colors and totally go berserk.

The rest of Diabolical looks just as crazy. But would we expect anything less from The Boys?

The trailer boasts distinct animation styles for each of the eight episodes, including one from the Rick & Morty team featuring one dude with a boombox for a head and another with breasts for a face. Here’s a breakdown of each.
