List of The Boys characters
Butcher is later confronted by Hughie in top on the Empire State building and — after a brief fight — they both fall onto a lower platform, whereupon Butcher breaks his back, becoming paralyzed from the neck down. After a brief conversation with Hughie wherein he acknowledges his past and admits to having killed M.M., Frenchie and the Female, a police helicopter shows up. Knowing he will be locked away for life as an invalid, Butcher deceives Hughie into killing him by (falsely) claiming he had murdered Hughie's adoptive family. Hughie, in a fit of rage, rams a metal spike into the Butcher's chest, killing him. True to character Billy dies smiling.
