- —Queen Maeve
Margaret "Maggie" Shaw, also known as Queen Maeve, is a protagonist from the The Boys series. She appeared in a Bonus episode of Death Battle, The Seven Battle Royale, where she fought against A-Train, The Deep, Starlight, and Billy Butcher.
History
Maggie Shaw was an optimistic young woman with aspirations of heroism, becoming a student at Vought's "Hero College" before being drafted into the superhero team known as The Seven. Taking the name "Queen Maeve", she is one of the team's most powerful and most important members, only behind Homelander in terms of strength. Like her teammates, she was experimented on with a super serum known as Compound V when she was in the womb and therefore developed superhuman abilities. While she jumped into her career, her morals were constantly crushed by the corruption surrounding her so-called "friends" and the corporation she worked under. Despite appearing to be the ideal role model for little girls everywhere, she had become a disillusioned, jaded, and cynical shell of the determined idealist she once was. Deep down, however, Queen Maeve's drive for justice continues to shine through.
