Spoilers ahead for The Boys Season 4.
Following the Season 4 closer, speedster A-Train (Jesse T. Usher) vanished from Vought, cutting out his tracking chip and getting out of town before Homelander and the newly-formed Seven can track him down. With Season 5 set to bring The Boys to a close, fans can only speculate the fate of the world’s fastest superhero.
We do know, however, courtesy of a recent social media post, how Vought International intend to cover up his absence, citing a “top secret undercover mission” overseas “effective immediately.”
“We have to keep all details confidential, both for his safety and the safety of the free world. Let’s wish him good luck and especially, God speed!,” the post reads. In a recent interview, courtesy of a story from ComicBook, series showrunner Eric Kripke teased fans of having “a certain sense of who lives and who dies.”

“Anyone who dies in season five will richly deserve it, I’ll just say that,” the Supernatural creator says. “We don’t have it all totally figured out, but you get to do the final season of the show, and you get to go out on your own terms, so not everyone’s making it through.”
The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Kapon, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jensen Ackles, Karen Fukuhara, Dominique McElligott, Simon Pegg, Chace Crawford, Jesse T. Usher, Colby Minifie, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Giancarlo Esposito. All four seasons are available to watch now on Prime Video, including the spin-off, Gen V.
Last year, Amazon executive Vernon Sanders outlined plans to expand the cinematic universe of The Boys, with “an ongoing conversation about what comes next.”
