Jensen Ackles' Soldier Boy was a fan-favorite inThe Boysseason 3, and the SDCC panel also announced he’d excitedly be returning forThe Boysseason 5as a series regular. The franchise hasn’t heard much from Stormfront since her dramatic arc in season 2, but they’ll both be prevalent in this new series.

Soldier Boy & Stormfront Are Both Around 30 In The Boys: Vought Rising
Both Supes Were Born Around 1920, Making Them Roughly 100 During The Present Day Events Of The Boys
Based on information fromThe Boys’timeline, the approximate ages of both characters can be determined. The main Prime Video series occurs roughly parallel to real-world dates, making Soldier Boy about 105 years old in his appearance in the series. That would make himabout 65 duringThe Boysseason 3 flashbacks in Nicaragua, which occurred in 1984. Therefore, in 1950, he’d be roughly age 30. This would tie to his origin story of being a young man during World War II.
As for Stormfront, she’s roughly the same age, having beenborn in Germany in 1919. She was seen in 1933 at Nazi Party gatherings and became the first super via Compound V shortly after. By the 1950s, Stormfront will also be around age 30. During this period, she went by the name Adele Vought and used the moniker “Liberty” around the time when she became associated with Soldier Boy.

Are Soldier Boy & Stormfront Immortal In The Boys?
Both Soldier Boy & Stormfront Age At A Far Slower Rate Than Normal Humans
Soldier Boy and Stormfront both made it into the 2020s retaining much of their youth for similar but different reasons. Compound V has varying effects on different humans, andit seems that Stormfront has some sort of biological immunity that allows her to age slowly. She probably isn’t immortal but just ages at a far slower rate than the average human. As for Soldier Boy inThe Boys, he was kept in a tube, which likely helped him maintain his youth, but even in flashback scenes from the 1980s, he appears far younger than his actual age.
The Boys
The Boys is a gritty and subversive take on the superhero genre, focusing on a group of vigilantes who confront powerful superheroes abusing their abilities, exploring themes of corruption and moral ambiguity in a world where heroes are not always what they seem.
