From THE BOYS #10, this is the bit in which Iron Man-esque Tek-Knight saves the world by blowing up an asteroid that would have otherwise decimated the planet. A standard superhero scenario to be sure, but the rub here is that Tek-Knight is suffering from terminal brain damage that urges him to hump anyone and anything that gets near him, a seemingly pointless bit of multi-issue setup that literally climaxes with the hero discovering that the asteroid, for no explained reason, is equipped with female genitalia, so he of course has to make its acquaintance, all while his lusty vocalizations are heard the world over thanks to the live audio feed from his helmet. As Tek-Knight reaches "the vinegar strokes," the asteroid explodes. Sheer ribald poetry. (I'd love to post the preceding page, which shows the asteroid's lady parts, but I don't think I can get away with it here.)
