In the series The Boys, we don’t know why La Crème inherited his nickname. The explanation is to be found in the comics.
Season 3 of The Boys has just ended, and many questions still remain unanswered. The next burst of episodes should thus be the occasion to know how Butcher will carry out his vendetta against Homelander while knowing that he is condemned, but also to discover the evolution of Ryan while the young boy has chosen the camp of his biological father.
So many questions for the moment unanswered, especially since we must not rely on the comics to give us clues about the rest of the plot: the series has adopted a radically different approach from the original comics, and many of the plots — like the relationship between Soldier Boy and Homelander, for example — are simply not relevant. A big gap that sometimes leads to some misunderstandings.
The explanation behind Mother Milk
Regarding the character of Marvin T. Milk in particular, difficult to understand why the character inherits the nickname Mother Milk (La Crème en VF) just by having seen the series. The explanation actually comes from the backstory of the character in the comics. In Garth Ennis’ comic, Marvin’s mother worked at Vought while she was pregnant with him. Exposed to Compound V before he was even born, he was granted superhuman strength that was useful during his various missions.
However, MM’s gift also suffers from a huge downside: to survive and maintain his extraordinary physical abilities, he is forced to drink his mother’s breast milk, even in adulthood. It is from this situation that the character inherited her nickname Mother Milk. Remember that in the Amazon Prime Video series, the character does not have superpowers. His mother is simply never mentioned in the episodes.
If Eric Kripke chose not to stage this aspect of the story of Mother Milk, the showrunner of the series has obviously decided not to completely abandon the idea of milk. In the series, Homelander has an almost incestuous relationship with Madelyn Stillwell during season 1. In addition to the sexual tension that exists between the two characters, Vougth’s Vice President goes so far as to breastfeed the leader of the Seven. Homelander’s obsession with milk continues until season 3, before his first encounter with Victoria Neuman.
