The CIA takes action.
Warning: contains spoilers for The Boys comic series!By the ending of The Boys, Billy Butcher's team of CIA-backed anti-Supe operatives have successfully dismantled every major superteam and overseen the deaths of Homelander, Black Noir, Stormfront, and most other big-name Supes.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While the Boys do a lot of good over the series, it ends with only one member left alive. Butcher executes his team as part of a plan to kill everyone on Earth with any trace of Compound V in their system, only stopped from committing genocide by Hughie, whose moral center wins out over Butcher's brutal ideology.
The CIA Shut Down Supes in The Boys' Future Hughie tells Annie about a group calling themselves the Stormfronters , who killed each other after the CIA's new system turned them on each other. Hughie confirms that while Compound V is still creating new Supes, the powers that be are incredibly hostile to anything even relating to superheroes, and the CIA ensures that no-one who disagrees can get organized enough to push back.
Butcher's final plan to commit genocide was always painted as a horrific and unjustifiable reaction to what he saw as the cancer of superhuman supremacy, but The Boys: Dear Becky also confirms it was unnecessary for his goal.
From beginning to end, The Boys doesn't have much faith in humanity as a whole, instead focusing on the value and beauty of individual relationships. However, it does conclude that the concept of superheroes, especially as exemplified by Homelander, is a bad idea that can't survive after people see through the lies propping it up - as close to a happy ending as The Boys was ever likely to get.
