Homelander

**John Gillman**, better known as **Homelander** is the main antagonist of the *The Boys* series.

## Powers

* **Super Strength** - Homelander frequently uses his Super Strength to show off his strength to intimidate others, or hurt people, whether intentional or not. A notable moment of when he uses his Super Strength is when he throws an airplane in the comics, and even says himself in the TV series that he would be able to hold up the plane he was on if there was a ground to stand on (because in real life, if he tried to hold up the plane, he'd just break through it with his body).
* **Super Durability** - Homelander can brush off bullet fire for as long as he wants, and is stated by Stillwell that Homelander can survive any man-made weapon ever created, including the Tsar Bomba. This is also supported when Billy Butcher gets surprised when evidence pops up of there being a weapon made by Russia that could kill Homelander (which ends up being false).
* **Super Speed** - In the show, Homelander outruns a C4 explosion, saving Billy Butcher from the explosion, and flew him to a house far away. In the *The Boys Presents: Diabolical* animated show, Homelander outruns bullet fire, and leaves away after images.
* **Super Hearing** - Homelander is able to hear people through walls, and is referred to do so in the TV show. He is also able to sense that Hughie was scared when he was about to baptize him by listening to his heartbeat despite being far from near his heart.
* **Super Stamina** - Homelander is shown to seemingly never run out of stamina, at one point in the comics murdering hundreds of people in less than a day. The only times he seems to not be doing an action is when he's lazy.
* **Super Reactions** - Is able to fight with fellow Supe Soldier Boy, who is a trained super solider, and was also able to react to Billy Butcher's laser vision. He was also fast enough to react to a C4 explosion.
* **Vocal Volume Inducement** - Homelander in the comics is seen to scream so loud that it destroys the eardrums of most, if not all of the passengers of the plane he was in, leaving them deaf.
* **Energy Projection** - Homelander frequently uses his laser vision to kill people when he's too lazy to kill them which his bare strength, as seen when he had to kill multiple criminals in a dark room in the TV series. In the same show, he uses it against terrorists on an airplane, which ends up destroying the controls of the plane.
* **Flight** - Homelander is shown to fly around, often to show off his power to public crowds, and to reach high heights.
	+ **Levitation**
* **X-Ray Vision** - Homelander is seen to look through substances and material, like the metal from vehicles, and walls. In the TV show, Madelyn Stillwell once told Homelander in another room that she knows that he's looking at her through the wall. The only material Homelander cannot see through is pure zinc.
* **Social Influencing** - Throughout their entire franchise, Homelander is seen either convincing and/or swaying crowds, or intimidating people into doing his bidding. This usually happens as a result of him being a professional at enhancing his public image, and having so much power almost over every other character in his series that he scares them.
* **Self-Sustenance** - Stan Edgar has implied that Homelander can go into space.
* **Longevity** - Characters who intake Compound V age considerably slower.
