He grappled with and eventually overpowered Soldier Boy, nearly strangling him before the intervention of Butcher. He continued to fight both of them before Hughie arrived and the three pinned him to the ground. Despite this, he was able to escape their combined might [14]. High frequencies: His super-hearing makes him vulnerable to intense, high frequency sounds. His son Ryan shares this vulnerability. However, unlike Ryan, Homelander is able to function despite the pain it causes him. During a cacophony that caused pain to both him and Ryan, Ryan was reduced to helplessness while Homelander was able to locate and neutralize the source of the sound.

Mayor of Baltimore † - Victim (Intentional; Crashed their plane, wanted to ensure Compound V remained secret) Chelsea † - Victim (Intentional; threatened to jump off a building, suicide rescue turned show of force) I'm sorry. The, uh, elevator was out. Um, you... you probably don't remember, um, we've met before. [Mesmer holds out his hand] Oh, I... I would never try and read you." As a child, Homelander had accidentally killed countless female tutors, the most notable incident of which being on March of 1994, when he hugged a woman using far too much strength, breaking her spine and instantly killing her. While these behaviors were usually motivated by indignation, this time it was by isolation-induced depression. [2] At some point during this period, he also developed a sociopathic alternate personality that helped him "get through the bad room".

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. In reality, he was grown in a secret laboratory, the progeny of genetic material taken from Stormfront, who was injected with Compound V while still a member of the Hitler Youth. Homelander spent most of his young life chained down with a hydrogen bomb strapped to him in case he tried to escape. His mother was a mentally disabled woman who died giving birth to him. Homelander from the hit series The Boys is now a MAFEX figure! With a high level of detail and articulation, you can re-create almost any scene from the show, and with the included stand, you can have him soaring above the rest of your collection!"

He is unfazed by explosions, such as when Butcher blew up the Stillwell residence with him inside it [10] and when he survived the destruction of an entire power plant. [16] Though, Butcher later theorized that a thermonuclear bomb would be the only thing capable of killing Soldier Boy, who was as durable as Homelander [13]. In the Seven Tower, A-Train tells Homelander that he killed his girlfriend Popclaw after she told some guys about Compound V. Homelander then said to his colleague that he did the right thing by telling him. Homelander comforts A-Train, but not before making an ominous remark like "I'll always be watching you" (" Good for the Soul"). 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, and 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 around the world and is also charismatic, easily swaying the public to give him support.

Antony Starr, Homelander's actor, even once made a comment about the comparisons by calling Homelander a "likable Joffrey", since Homelander is given moments in the series that lets viewers empathize with him, while Joffrey isn't. Furthermore, Homelander is an extremely smart man who uses his charisma and mastery of manipulation to get his way. He's also able to realize when he's being lied to, partially due to his powers and due to his cunning intelligence. Joffrey, on the other hand, has minor cunning at best and is an incompetent, blithering idiot at worst. Joffrey is also extremely cowardly and pathetic, while Homelander has little to no fear of anyone.
