The name of the episode points towards a Herogasm mini-series from the original graphic novels, in which The Seven travel to a secret island.
Explaining what happens on the island, one fan on Twitter wrote: “In the comics, Herogasm is when all the heroes go off grid for a while and have a vacation on a secret island where they ummmm, satisfy all their weird desires for a while.
“It’s extremely decadent and gross. And hilarious and awesome.”

According to Amazon, season two of The Boys had the most-watched global launch of an Amazon original series ever, up 89 per cent on the viewership figures for season one.
The series was renewed for a third season last July, hoping to shoot early this year – depending on coronavirus-imposed restrictions.
In a four-star review of season 2 of The Boys, NME said: “The Boys may be the most adult superhero show on TV – but with its hotly-awaited return, it proves it’s the most fun too.”
