What is the name of Vought's superhero reality competition show?

Vought’s superhero reality competition show in The Boys is called “American Hero.” The program is created to select new members of The Seven after the team loses several of its established heroes.

In Season 3, American Hero is presented as a glossy, heavily managed entertainment production on Vought+. Contestants compete in challenges while Vought packages their personalities, powers, and personal histories for viewers. The show is hosted by Starlight and Homelander, whose contrasting public images add another layer of tension to the competition.

The contestants include Supersonic, a former pop star and Starlight’s childhood friend, and several other aspiring heroes. The competition ultimately becomes part of Vought’s broader strategy to control public opinion and turn superhero recruitment into profitable celebrity programming.

American Hero satirizes real-world talent and reality competitions, especially the way television can transform personal conflict into marketable drama. It is easy to confuse the title with The Seven, which is the superhero team contestants hope to join, or with “Super in America,” another fictional Vought-produced program in the series.
