A thing I love about a lot of problematic Fi dom/aux characters is how they are the kings and queens of mental gymnastics; they need to be able to like themselves and therefore, even when they do bad things they convince themselves they didn't really have a choice, it wasn't as bad as they make it out to be, they pass the blame onto someone or something else... Even when it means bending obvious truths, they need to be the good guy, not the baddie. A-Train has a LOT of these moments, but the clearest one so far is when he tries to push the moral responsibility of Popclaw's murder onto Hughie. He manages to make Hughie, who is risking his own life to avenge the person he loved, the bad guy instead of him, the person who murdered his beloved because he feared for his own life. It makes me wonder if A-Train may crash at one point. Mentally I mean. If at one point he reaches such a low he can no longer pretend to himself he isn't a horrible person and his unhealthy Fi can't save him anymore...

Biography

A-Train (real name Reggie Franklin) is one of the main characters in the Amazon series The Boys. He is a speedster who used to be a part of the team known as the Teenage Kix, and is a returning member of The Seven. He inadvertently killed Robin Ward (Hughie Campbell's girlfriend) with his powers while high on Compound V, the event which ultimately lead to Hughie joining The Boys. A-Train was let go from The Seven, but has since been asked to rejoin, and is the current "fastest man in the world". Underneath the cavalier exterior of a celebrity superhero lies the soul of a mortal athlete, with a deep insecurity about staying at the top. He’ll do whatever it takes to remain in The Seven, because he knows it’s only a matter of time until a younger, faster challenger takes his place — and that’s a problem even the fastest man in the world can’t outrun.
