==Summary==
Homelander is one of the main characters in the Amazon series The Boys. He's the world's most powerful superhero and leader of the greatest group of them, The Seven. Homelander, along with every other superhero, is the product of experiments with refined Compound V, a chemical developed by Nazi Germany used to grant superhuman powers, by the Vought-American corporation to create superheroes for merchandising profit.
Homelander was raised like a lab rat in a facility to keep others safe from his powers. Throughout his childhood, he was subject to multiple experiments to test his strength, all while the staff maintained their distance and feared him. The scientists in charge eventually regretted not socializing him with a family, as a lack of love and care led him to develop a warped sense of right, wrong, love, and connection. As he grew into adulthood, he developed a love for superheroes, the original hero Soldier Boy in particular, as they represented the closest thing to equals in his eyes, and despite being powerful, were not feared but loved. In public, he emulates heroic behavior, acting modestly and with extraordinary righteousness and amiability towards others, a facade he alternates between hating or sadistically enjoying, especially when used on people who know his true colors.
As a self-proclaimed god, Homelander enjoys being able to do anything that he wants, but feels secretly lonely due to being superior to everyone else. He would develop a toxic relationship with Madelyn Stillwell, an older woman than himself who was the Vice President of Vought International, the company that owned The Seven. She seduced Homelander in a sexual manner by playing mother to him and managed to be the only person Homelander cared about, corrupting him even further by forcing him to maintain perfect standards, manipulating and lying to him in ways that didn't go unnoticed, ultimately resulting in Homelander killing her.
Afterward, Homelander would have a new person he would seem to care about, a son he had with a woman he raped 8 years prior, Ryan. Homelander now dedicated himself to seeking Ryan's approval as a father while trying to raise him in his image.
