John, better known as Homelander, is the main antagonist of the Amazon series The Boys, serving as the main antagonist of Season 1, one of the two main antagonists of Seasons 2 and 3 (alongside Stormfront in the former and Soldier Boy in the latter), a recurring antagonist of its spin-off series The Boys Presents: Diabolical and one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside Victoria Neuman) of the spin-off series Gen V.
Homelander is the leader of The Seven, the strongest Supe in the world, and the archenemy of Billy Butcher. With the face of a movie star and the powers of a god, Homelander is considered the greatest superhero alive. Not only can he fly, but he possesses super strength and super durability far beyond the capacity of other superheroes, super senses (sight, hearing, etc.), X-ray vision and laser vision.
BackgroundSeason OneSeason TwoSeven on 7 with Cameron ColemanSometime later, Cameron Coleman reported on the August 7, 2021 segment where fans of Homelander rallied against super terrorists, with some even going as far as to form a human gate at the Mexican border, resulting in them nearly dying of thirst and hunger. In the September 7, 2021 segment, Homelander was later seen returning to his normal state, where he made a grand appearance posing with civilians and fans in the opening of Vought-A-Burger. On the December 7, 2021 segment, Homelander was also seen live on Vought Tower where he gave a speech on trust and betrayal, swearing to rebuild the image of superheroes due to the Stormfront incident. He was also a recurring subject on the show, and was featured in various footage and advertisements as well. On the January 7, 2022 segment, Coleman reported that Homelander had given another public apology at the Vought International Shareholder's Conference through a keynote speech, regarding his former relationship with Stormfront.Season ThreeHomelander is a tall man with blonde hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. He wears a suit reminiscent to Superman and Captain America's, echoing a blend between both drawn from the comics. Homelander wears red gloves and boots, and has gold shoulder pads and wrist protectors, as well as a cape that stands for America, symbolizing patriotism.
Homelander's suit is apparently the only clothing he wears, any appearances without the suit have shown Homelander completely nude further reinforcing his singular identity when compared to other Supes, who have lives and identities outside of their careers as superheroes. His suit also gives him the appearance of being more muscular than he actually is, as when he is seen not wearing it, he is actually rather lean.
Homelander's mission has always been to serve Vought International and on a deeper level, Madelyn Stillwell. Homelander is rational, initially worrying about Translucent's disappearance in Cherry while the rest of Vought, and the world, ignored it. He is a ruthless leader, doing whatever it takes to keep a high public opinion of The Seven, including threatening both Starlight and the Deep. Homelander portrays the true extent of his anger in You Found Me, killing Stillwell for lying to him about Becca Butcher and his child. As a person, he is deeply narcissistic, disturbed, violence-addicted and sadistic psychopath. For a superhero, Homelander is incredibly and needlessly violent, brutal and aggressive, throwing a bank robber into the air and letting him fall to his death, punching a shooter in the chest, senselessly decimating a group of terrorists around the world. This also highlights his high intelligence as he set up a meticulous plan to get superheroes into the military by forcing A-Train to spread Compound V around the world and is also charismatic, easily swaying the public to give him support.
Due to being raised in isolation inside a laboratory, Homelander struggles to feel genuine love, empathy and understanding for other people and their emotions. This has rendered him callous, immoral and psychopathic often threatening, abusing and intimidating the other members of the Seven in order to keep them in line much like his father while also killing anyone who stands in his way.
It is made clear that Homelander does not actually care about humanity, only the way Supes (but mainly himself) are viewed in their eyes. He is seen to be more than willing to let a plane full of families and children crash in The Female of the Species despite pleas from Queen Maeve to save the children but pretends to feel sadness about the incident while in the public eye. This act of negligent homicide was to cover up the fact that Homelander was completely unwilling to save the passengers after he jeopardized the mission and uses the crash to his advantage, as after Flight 37 went down and all the passengers died, Homelander manipulates the people into believing it was destroyed by terrorists and uses it to further both his and Vought's agenda of militarizing super-humans.
Homelander also suffers from an Oedipus Complex, which is projected onto Madelyn Stillwell who is the closest thing he has to a mother. However, after declaring her true feelings, that she fears him, Homelander burns her eyes and skull without hesitation but did feel second thoughts about it when he stares at a picture of them in her office during The Big Ride. Due to his longing for a maternal figure, women such as Stillwell, Rebecca, Stormfront, and Maeve have all been able to manipulate or control him to some degree due to them being women, and they appeal to a certain part of his damaged psyche.
His relationship with Stormfront is rather passionate and at the same time reluctant. While they both to some degree care for one another, their love for each other has limitations. For instance, Homelander does not completely buy into Stormfront's racist ideology: When Stormfront teaches Ryan about "White Genocide", Homelander's face cringes slightly and he tries to shift Ryan's focus away from her. His disdain for Stormfront's discriminatory tendencies is explained by his view that there does not need to be a master race, as he sees himself as the master race. However, he goes along with her plans due to the position of power she promises him. When Stormfront reveals her Nazi past to Homelander, he broods while looking away from her, until she claims that he will be the man to lead their future army, at which point he becomes interested. However, this does not mean Homelander is free of prejudice himself; as seen when he, behind closed doors, called a contestant for American Hero "Captain Al-Qaeda" after rejecting her for being Muslim. Homelander is also prejudiced towards disabled supes and is against including them on the Seven, shown as to how he grievously injured Blindspot and mocked him right after calling him "another useless fucking blind guy" and a "cripple" he would not allow into the Seven and angrily berated Ashley for suggesting him as a recruit.
Despite being archenemies, Homelander has an odd respect and even liking for Billy Butcher. When they finally confronted each other, Homelander is both intrigued and impressed that Butcher is not afraid of him, but hates him with a passion, addressing the amount of time the latter spent leading up to their standoff. Homelander respects that Butcher is the only person who actually acts like himself around him. Butcher doesn`t put up a fake persona or a mask of fear. In their reunion in Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men, Homelander is actually happily surprised to see Butcher again, playfully taunting him about his wife, and even allows Butcher to call him a `cunt` something he would never allow anyone else to do. During their standoff in the woods, he even gives Butcher the chance to give him Ryan and leave, however, he goes to kill Butcher as soon as he refuses. It is only due to Maeve's threats of releasing the Flight 37 video that he allows Butcher and Ryan to leave peacefully. Their conversation in Payback (episode), shows the respect and leniency Homelander gives Butcher compared to all others. He politely asks and waits to enter Butcher's apartment, a courtesy he gives too little to no one else, and allows Butcher to mock and insult him right to his face when he nearly killed A-Train for doing it behind his back. He also opens up emotionally to Butcher during this conversation about his growing frustration and even compares the two as equals, which is shocking considering Butcher is a normal human, and Homelander considers himself above everyone (except Ryan, Maeve, and Stormfront). Homelander obviously knows that Butcher wants nothing more than to kill him, but rather than instantly act, he fully admits he is looking forward to their eventual confrontation and is ready to wait for it. His tolerance for Butcher's interference, and continuous refusal to kill him, can also be attributed to the fact that Homelander appears to take amusement in toying with Butcher. When Butcher prompts Homelander to "laser my fucking brains out," Homelander states "Where's the sport in that?". Homelander also shows some sympathy with Butcher, which is impressive considering he's deeply narcissistic, and knows that both him and Butcher feel exhausted of following the rules imposed by Vought and, the FBSA, and offers him to change their fates by destroying absolutely everything and fight to death until one of them is left standing, an offer Butcher accepts with pleasure.
Powers
•Superhuman Strength: One of Homelander's primary abilities is his tremendous superhuman strength. He is stated to be the strongest man in the world according to Jonah Vogelbaum and Stormfront. As a child, he broke a woman's spine by hugging her. After he and Queen Maeve intercepted a robbery, he threw the first thief far away and high into the air. He also easily pushed open a door blockaded by scaffolding with one hand and embedded his fist in a shooter's torso. Homelander casually knocked off the door of a pressurized plane, but he stated he was unable to carry the hijacked plane to safety, suggesting that he is unable to use his full strength in flight, requiring a solid surface to take full advantage of his power. Another time though it might be more possible was unexpected that big surprise as he drop his guard, when he was unable to stop the full weight of a falling bus and concrete debris brought down on top of him when he was hovering during his encounter with Kenji Miyashiro. He was later able to throw a baseball from New York to Boston, having previously thrown a football into a small plane with so much force that an emergency landing was required, threw another baseball high into the air, and slapped Blindspot's head hard enough to burst his eardrums and cause excessive bleeding. He crushed a terrorist under his foot. Homelander easily overpowered Starlight and Doppelganger, lifting the latter off the ground and snapping their neck with one hand. He later contended with Stormfront and casually crushed a man's head in one hand. In a fit of anger, he overpowered A-Train, and threatened to pull Billy Butcher apart limb by limb. He casually killed Termite by crushing him under his foot. While initially appearing evenly matched with Soldier Boy, Homelander eventually overpowered him with his raw strength, nearly killing him in the process before the intervention of Butcher. Homelander continued to exert his superior strength against the combined might of Soldier Boy and Butcher, and only through Hughie joining the fight were the three able to finally bring Homelander to the ground, pinning him down with considerable effort. Homelander, seeing what could be his first ever defeat, was able to break free, knocking back Soldier Boy, Butcher and Hughie, giving him enough time to retreat. Homelander is also able to physically overpower Queen Maeve and gouged out her right eye. •Superhuman Durability: Homelander possesses extraordinary superhuman durability and is the most durable of the Seven, if not of all Supes. He is not only completely bulletproof but also unfazed by explosions, such as when Billy blew up the Stillwell residence with him inside it or the destruction of an entire power plant. According to Madelyn Stillwell, there is not a weapon on Earth that has not failed against him, implying that he could also survive nuclear explosions. This was contradicted by Homelander himself when he dared Starlight to release the Flight 37 video: he said that he would take out air defences first, implying he may be vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire or heavy artillery. If he were truly invulnerable to conventional armaments, he would not need to eliminate them. There is the possibility that he simply views them as an annoyance or distraction, however. While pursuing Kenji Miyashiro and the Boys, Homelander survived having a bus and several large pieces of concrete dropped on top of him without any signs of injury save for being dirtied from the incident. Billy Butcher theorized that the force of a thermonuclear bomb would be the only thing capable of killing Soldier Boy, who was nearly as strong as Homelander. Maeve even described him as invincible, something he believed himself to be as well, as he dared Victoria Neuman to attempt blowing him up. However, it has been shown that his immense durability does indeed have limits. After a brutal fight against Soldier Boy, Butcher, and Hughie, Homelander was shown to have a large bruise on his face. While Homelander was able to take numerous punches and kicks from Maeve, they still caused him some degree of harm and even gave him a nosebleed, something she would follow up by jamming a metal rod into his ear, drawing blood and causing his ear to ring. •Vaccum Adaptation: During his conversation with Stan Edgar, he states that the view of New York City is better from space, implying that he has flown beyond the Earth's atmosphere without oxygen or protection from the cold and solar radiation. •Superhuman Speed: Homelander can move at very fast speeds. While Homelander can fly at extremely fast speeds, enough to keep up with an airplane so he could destroy it , John can also move on the ground at supersonic speeds. As a child, Homelander could already break the sound barrier. Homelander is fast enough to dodge bullets and disarm multiple gunmen before they could even react. Later, after Butcher decided to detonate the bombs strapped to Stillwell's body, Homelander was able to save Butcher from the blast unharmed (The blast of a C4 bomb moves with a speed of around 8.000 m/s or 23 times faster than sound). He was able to disappear from Billy Butcher's apartment without the latter even realizing it, implying that he can move faster than the human eye can see while making little to no noise. •Superhuman Stamina: Homelander possesses extraordinary stamina, as his muscles are able to withstand the stresses of moving at superhuman speeds or performing other superhuman feats for extended periods of time. The Legend, who once was the Senior Vice President of Hero Management, claims to have never seen him sweat. •Superhuman Hearing: Homelander possesses tremendous auditory awareness, allowing him to detect sounds from miles away. He can also use this power to detect a person's heartbeat and blood pressure, and can tell when they are excited or anxious, such as when he detected Hughie Campbell's blood pressure to be 150/90. He also heard the mayor of Baltimore through a wall and can also spy on Madelyn in her office. He heard Starlight's heartbeat racing and Butcher's heart pounding. His hearing also allows him to tell when someone is lying. Starlight told Stan Edgar that he could hear him through the wall, and he heard A-Train quietly curse him out. He later heard Roger from across rows of seats in the sound studio and Grace Mallory surreptitiously typing on her smartphone in her pocket from a significant distance outdoors. Furthermore, it appears that Homelander is immune to the the debilitating effects other supes experience when exposed to high frequency noise, likely as a result of having grown accustomed to it all his life. •Superhuman Smell: Homelander possesses an amazing olfactory sense. For both Hughie and Starlight, he was able to tell they were nervous by smelling that their adrenaline had increased. He can use his sense of smell to locate explosives. He was also able to smell Billy Butcher's scent on Queen Maeve, thus letting him know they had a tryst. •Heat Vision: Homelander is capable of projecting highly concentrated beams of energy from his eyes. These blasts of energy are so powerful that they can cut through almost anything, such as airplanes. He also used his heat vision to melt a thief's gun to the latter's hand. However, Homelander is most notable for using his optical beams on people, melting flesh and bone with ease and causing people to burst into gore. His heat vision can also likely cut through most Supes, shown in Homelander's hesitation to use them on Stormfront. He is able to control the intensity of the beams, as shown when he used his heat vision to warm up a bottle of Stillwell's breast milk without damaging the bottle. When confronted by Billy Butcher and Soldier Boy, he struck Butcher's chest with his optic beams, but rather than bisecting Butcher or even burning him (as would be expected from Homelander's heat vision), the energy beams caused Butcher to fly backwards and into a wall, leaving him momentarily stunned by the impact, due to Butcher having given himself temporary superhuman powers via Compound V24. However, against Supes of high durability such as Queen Maeve, Homelander's blasts do not seem to have a significant impact. With Butcher's heat vision not leaving a scratch on Soldier Boy, Homelander's heat vision would likely have the same effect on Soldier Boy. •X-Ray Vision: Homelander can see through any solid object or surface, with the exception of objects and surfaces that are lined with zinc, implying that he only has low energy photon x-ray vision. He X-rayed Stan Edgar, stating that he is very close to a coronary because his blood is like engine oil. Stillwell acknowledged that he used his X-Ray vision to spy on her, and Butcher knew he could see through the ceiling. •Telescopic Vision: Homelander can zoom in on things, allowing him to see distant objects, people and surroundings. When stalking Madelyn Stillwell he used his X-Ray vision to see through a wall and then zoomed in on her slowly to get a closer look. •Flight: Homelander is able to levitate and propel himself at supersonic speeds, allowing him to cover vast distances in a matter of minutes. He reached a hijacked flight before F-16 fighter jets; top speeds of the F-16 jets are just under 1,500 mph/Mach 2. Him being faster than a F-16 Jet is also futher confirmed by Stillwell. While he was out canvassing the city for Translucent, Frenchie's neural networked CCTV ID's Homelander flying at sea level at speeds close to 1,874.482 kph/Mach 1.53. •Regenerative Healing Factor: Homelander possesses a powerful healing factor, like his father who did receive a cut on his cheek after being subjected to a prolonged Heat Vision blast by Billy Butcher; Homelander did receive a bleed in his ear after being stabbed with a metal straw by Queen Maeve. However, when homelander introduces his son Ryan to his and Stormfront's supporters at Vought Tower the next day, the wound in his ear had already disappeared. •Genetic Superiority (Tentative): It is possible that Homelander has biological genes that not only surpass those of human beings, but also those of other superhumans due to the fact that he is the only Supe to have fathered a child who inherited superpowers as a result of natural development as opposed to artificial injections of Compound V. Homelander claims that unlike all other Supes who were born as ordinary children before they were injected with Compound V, Homelander is the result of an "Immaculate Conception" where the semen that made Homelander was mixed with Compound V in a test tube before he was artificially inseminated inside of an unnamed woman who presumably died during his birth. Homelander claims that much like the Messiah of Christian faith, he doesn't know his real date of birth as July 4th was fabricated by the Vought PR team to further uphold him as the golden boy of America. The script for Dawn of the Seven referred to him as a perfect genetic specimen.
Abilities
•Charisma: Homelander is very charismatic, being able to get public support by giving them impressive speeches which most of the time are improvised by himself. He can easily attract people with his charm and confidence and give them the image of an ideal patriotic hero. It should be noted that his ability to win over others has its limits. After inadvertently killing an innocent teen with his heat vision while stopping a terrorist, his efforts to placate a crowd of protesters was a PR disaster. •Gifted Intelligence: Homelander is a very cunning individual. He knows how to manipulate and coerce most people into doing what he wants. He was able to outsmart Stan Edgar and get himself out of trouble multiple times. After the botched rescue mission of Flight 37 (which led to the Crash of Transoceanic Flight 37), Homelander managed to manipulate the situation to make the public support superheroes in the national defense. However, his impulsive behavior and his inability to make long term plans have allowed multiple people to outsmart him. •Acting: Homelander is a very skilled actor. His heroic facade is capable of tricking most people that he is an ideal patriotic hero, causing them to lower their guard and trust him. He has also participated in the production of many films, including Dawn of the Seven. •Intimidation: Homelander has a very imposing presence. He uses his intimidation to control the members of the Seven, who recognize that he is the most powerful member of the group, and that he is completely without conscience and has no moral reservations about killing anyone he chooses. As a result, most of them are scared of Homelander. He also intimidates to get whatever he wants. According to Starlight, she felt like he was waiting around every corner of the tower to kill her, like living with a loaded gun in her face.However, this ability seems to have its limits as he was unable to intimidate Billy Butcher and Stan Edgar, both of whom showed no fear toward him. •Skilled Combatant: Homelander was able to put up a fight against both Butcher and Soldier Boy, despite both men being ex-military and having years of combat experience. In his childhood, Homelander once fought against a huge man, indicating that Vought gave him some combat training at some point in his life. However due to his superior strength always giving him the advantage, Homelander never actually needed it and therefore has never improved his combat skills. Consequently, he has been overpowered by the weaker foes, such as Billy Butcher, Hughie Campbell and Soldier Boy, who were able to subdue him by working together, forcing him to flee. Homelander was also able to fight Maeve on even terms, though Maeve's superior fighting skills allowed her to hold her own, with Homelander having to resort more to his strength than his combat skills to overpower her.
The Homelander is a patriotic superhero who leads the superhero team, The Seven, and the most powerful superhuman created by Vought-American. The company's cover story for the Homelander is that he is an alien who landed in the United States as an infant, much like Superman.
