## Homelander

### Weight

235 lbs (107 kg)

**Homelander** is one of the main antagonists of the 2006 comic series "The Boys."

## Background

After the fall of the fraudulent weapons manufacturer Vought American Consolidated during a humiliating loss in the Vietnam war, Vought American needed a new weapon that was marketable and effective. In 1971, during a meteor shower in Wyoming, Vought sold a nonsensical story to the media that a bioweapon they raised for years in a lab and threatened with a hydrogen bomb was a hero from the stars who came to save the Earth. With the rise of their hero, superhumans became the new weapon. After redoing their formula six more times, Vought forms a team known as the Seven, who continues to sell their fake narrative and buy the hearts of the public.

In reality, Homelander is an uncontrollable monster who is only kept in check by Vought American's ability to manipulate Homelander and destroy him if need be. Once supes needed to be kept in control, the CIA team known as The Boys was formed, and the Seven would inevitably confront and face off with them multiple times.

Homelander is sought after for murder, rape, and allegedly cannibalism and the death of the wife of Billy Butcher.
