The Fallout TV series leverages the Fallout games as a fictional and aesthetic foundation, rather than attempting a direct adaptation of a specific game or plotline.
Vault Boy, a significant character in the Fallout games, is given an origin story through the show, linking him to one of the protagonists, Cooper Howard, who later transforms into The Ghoul.
Howard, initially a Hollywood actor, is depicted showcasing Vault Boy's iconic look in a Vault-Tec advertisement, establishing the character's appearance and signature pose.
As Howard's Hollywood career spirals downwards due to his association with the Vaults, viewers see the transformation of his promotional role into the familiar image of Vault Boy in a billboard.
