Hughie Kills Butcher in The Boys Comics

In the comic version of The Boys, Butcher is killed by none other than Hughie. After Black Noir kills Homelander and Butcher kills Black Noir, Butcher is not satisfied with just the two of them dying. So, he creates a strain of Compound V that can kill supes, similar to the Supe-killing virus we have seen in The Boys series.

Butcher creates this contagious virus that when released into the atmosphere will kill all the supes in the world. Frenchie, Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and The Female (Kimiko) oppose this maniacal plan of Butcher and get into a fight with him. However, even after trying their best, Butcher kills Frenchie, The Female, and Mother’s Milk with Hughie left as the sole surviving member.

Hughie decides to stop Butcher and they get into a massive battle at the top of the Empire State Building. The fight leaves Butcher heavily injured and Hughie is holding a knife against him but is not able to get himself to kill Butcher.

Butcher, knowing that if he lives, he will not be able to stop himself from executing his plan, lies to Hughie that he has killed his parents and in a fit of rage, Hughie stabs Butcher through his heart and frantically calls home. Since Butcher is lying, his parents pick up the phone and when Hughie looks back at Butcher, he sits there with his back to the wall dead and a smile on his face. So, this is how Butcher dies in the comics and let’s hope he gets a better end in the series but only time can tell what happens till then, stay tuned to is for further updates!
