Todd was a recurring character of the Amazon series The Boys. He was a schoolteacher and Monique Milk's boyfriend until she kicked him out.
The Boys Series
The Boys: Season 3
Todd is the current boyfriend of Monique Milk after her divorce with M.M. He is a fan of Homelander, seen even wearing his costume for Janine's Supe-themed birthday party.
"The Last Time to Look on This World of Lies"
After Homelander's speech, Todd becomes more obsessed with Homelander and starts to believe in the anti-media, conspiracy theory culture ("self-evident truths.") By the time M.M. returns home from Russia, Todd has bought more Homelander merchandise for Janine and is letting her watch Homelander's speech again on TV, claiming that "it's good for her".
"Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed"
When Robert Singer holds a rally near Todd’s home with Homelander, he decides to take Janine with him but does not clear this with Monique. He then texts M.M. a picture of him and Janine at the rally with Homelander on stage.
When he returns Janine to her home, M.M. confronts him, trying to tell Todd that Homelander is unstable and is lying about Starlight. But Todd denies this, claiming that Homelander is protecting them and that Starlight is really a sex trafficker. He further chides M.M., telling him to get his information outside of media to avoid "fake news." M.M. decides that he won’t argue about which Supe is telling the truth, but tells Todd not get Janine involved in it, pointing out that Todd is not Janine's father.
Todd contemptuously replies that someone's got to be, hinting at M.M.'s absence. Enraged at the suggestion that he is not a proper father to Janine, M.M. punches Todd and knocks him out. Unfortunately, this incident was witnessed by Monique and Janine.
"The Instant White-Hot Wild"
Todd is seen with the Homelander and Stormfront groups together supporting Homelander. He is one of many who witness Homelander kill a Starlight supporter who attacked Homelander, but inadvertently struck Ryan Butcher instead. But instead of being horrified by the murder, he is the first to excitedly cheer for Homelander.
Social Media Presence
In July 2022, Todd created a Twitter account to further his support for Homelander and Vought International.
On September 19th, 2022, Todd was given the Lifetime Achievement award from Citizens United for National Togetherness for his unwavering support for Vought.
The official Vought International X page reported that several "patriots" including Todd had apparently volunteered to be a juror at Homelander's upcoming trial, but that he was rejected due to him being deemed biased due to him having worn a cosplay for Homelander prior.[1]
The Boys: Season 4
"Department of Dirty Tricks"
Todd has been invited to a meet and greet with the Seven with two other fans. Homelander orders the team to kill Todd and the others with a baseball bat. A-Train later plants the bodies during a riot between Starlighters and Homelander fans that was instigated by Sister Sage, effectively framing the Starlighters for their deaths.
During an official Reddit AMA interview, Homelander was asked by someone claiming to be Todd's friend whether Homelander had heard from him. Homelander then claimed that Todd had been beaten to death by a mob of Starlighters. Homelander then went on to use Todd's death as yet another example of how lawless the United States had become, stating that it was time to approve amendments that would allow heroes to cut down individuals like those who had killed Todd.[2]
Personality
At first glance, Todd appears to be an ordinary and well-meaning man, who just wants to be a decent father figure. However, due to being a Homelander fanboy, he is very vulnerable to the radical influence of America's greatest self-proclaimed “hero”. He blindly believes everything that Homelander says and praises him no matter how much evidence of his true nature exists. As stated by M.M, Todd is too brainwashed to realize that he is wrong.
He believes the smear campaign against Starlight, saying she is a villain who traffics kids, something that Todd especially despises due to being a stepfather and a schoolteacher.
