The V-Boys Defense Corps were a group of American kids that V-Man recruited after returning to the United States, serving as V-Man’s all-purpose assistants. V-Man communicated with them using a two-way video link he wore as a ring on his finger. The stories never bothered to explain where he got it from. Unlike most of the members of the V-Group, the V-Boys were aware of V-Man’s secret identity. The V-Boys themselves were not given individual identities, except for the name of V-Man’s second-in-command “Mickey”. The V-Boys Defense Corps was also the name of the real-life V-Man fan club established by Fox Feature Syndicate. The “…-” in the title of V…-Comics is morse code for the letter “V”. After V…-Comics was canceled, Fox went on to create similar-looking heroes (with different secret identities) known as Capt. V and the Puppeteer.
