That all changed in season 3.
With that said, Homelander humiliated a disfigured Stormfront early in season 3, and she died by suicide.
The season brought in the American equivalent of the World War II soldier with the arrival of Soldier Boy.
Played by Jensen Ackles, Soldier Boy is a fan-favorite on Prime Video’s The Boys.
Here’s what we know about his origin story, powers, and more.
This was a major change in direction from the comic book series.
Original SR Image by Ana Nieves.
In the comics, Soldier Boy was a joke, an American supersoldier who couldn’t do anything right.
He ended up getting himself and his teammates all brutally murdered, thanks to his incompetence.
In the war, Soldier Boy was volatile, and most of his team, Payback, hated him.
However, before Soldier Boy went after Homelander, he had some unfinished business.
After dealing with his former teammates, he then revealed the truth to Homelander.
The season revealed that the government created Homelander using Soldier Boy’s DNA.
He is technically Homelander’s father.
It was like,Boy, theres a lot of father-son sh*t happening this season.
So it wasnt me, for the record.
Someone said, What if Soldier Boy is Homelanders father?
You know when an idea locks into place.
Your first reaction is to be scared because its huge.
That was about mid-season."
This led to Herogasm, a controversial moment in the comic book series.
However,the Herogasm inThe Boysseason 3didn’t cross as many lines as the comic book storyline.
What it did do, however, was allow Soldier Boy to cut loose.
This is becauseSoldier Boy’s former teammates in Payback, the TNT Twins, host Herogasmin their home.
This allowed Soldier Boy to enact revenge for their betrayal.
I know I was just kind of very curious as to how that was going to work.
And even the director was like ‘I don’t know what I’m shooting anymore.’
Our crew looked traumatized.
you’re free to’t unsee it.
That toothpaste will not go back in the tube."
His attack kills 12 others and wounds many more.
However, the big battle here is when Soldier Boy turns his attention to Homelander.
Hughie also takes Temp V and ends up with powers as well.
He only has 18 months to live, thanks to his abusing the drug to fight Homelander.
That’s the big arc for her.
It’s being laid on her instead of her choosing what she wants to do.
So, we very much designed that turning point.
However, this doesn’t work out too well for Starlight’s former boyfriend, Supersonic.
This leads in an interesting direction in the next season.
However, Victoria’s goals are still blurry in this season.
I wish I could have raised you and taught you, father to son.
But theres no fixing that now … Youre a fg disappointment."
Homelander doesn’t take this well.
This doesn’t matter since he is never unmasked, and The Seven can replace him without anyone knowing.
Billy betrayed Soldier Boy before he could beat Homelander to protect Ryan.
Homelander and Queen Maeve continued fighting while Butcher and Soldier Boy did battle.
Things ended tragically as Homelander took out one of Maeve’s eyes.
He received cheers from the powerless humans.
Homelander murdered a man in front of everyone and was seen as a hero to the people.
Well, lets see that.
Its a hint of the very clear and present danger Ryan is in.
Its whether theres a second Homelander or somebody who can actually fight Homelander."
