Queen Maeve He was once involved with Queen Maeve—an ex‐girlfriend and teammate—whose relationship with him is marked by betrayal and victimization. Starlight Although a fellow member of The Seven, Homelander exploits and ultimately victimizes Starlight, subjecting her to sexual violence in a bid to assert his dominance. Soldier Boy In the comics he even has a one-time sexual encounter with Soldier Boy—a relationship that underscores Homelander’s predatory and self-serving nature. Promising that eventually if Soldier Boy keeps having sex with him at Herogasm he can join the Seven. Black Noir His connection with Black Noir is complex: Noir is not only a clone created as a contingency plan against him but also ends up as both a victim and an eventual killer, which makes their relationship one of the most tragic and violent. Other Affiliations and Conflicted Ties As the leader of The Seven under the control of Vought-American, Homelander’s ties with his teammates (like The Deep, A-Train, Lamplighter, and others) are largely built on power dynamics and fear rather than genuine camaraderie. He also has a hostile relationship with his creator Jonah Vogelbaum and is bitterly opposed by The Boys (Billy Butcher, Hughie, Frenchie, etc.), who represent the antithesis of his corrupt, narcissistic ideal. Backstory:Homelander was experimented on with Compound V, before birth, as a subject of Vought-American's experiments with Compound V, like much of the other Supes managed by Vought. John was raised and experimented on by Vought in a silo in South Dakota for the next eighteen years and, as a result, developed abilities such as super strength, speed and durability, healing factor, longevity, resurrection, heat and x-ray vision, enhanced senses, sonic scream and flight. He was also tied to a nuclear bomb at a young age, in case his aggression got out of control. To the public, in a cover-up of the truth, his origin was that he "crash-landed on Earth", being found as a little baby at the bottom of a crater on a prairie without a spaceship. Hailing from the stars, the baby grew into a boy in a week and a teenager a week after that. Homelander became the leader of the Seven, a group made up of six other heroes who were created in the same way as Homelander was after his success, and one of the most powerful superheroes of Vought-American.

9/11 Incident “ That's what you get when a bunch of fucks in tights try to save the goddamn day. ―The Legend on the 9/11 incident ” HomelanderPlaneBloodComic Homelander during the 9/11 fiasco

During the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the Seven were sent to stop the hijackers that took over a commercial passenger plane and rescue the hostages inside. Unfortunately, Homelander and the rest of his team didn't understand the tactical or physical challenges the mission required, this coupled with the fact that Black Noir fell while being carried and Jack from Jupiter fleeing the scene, resulted in the Seven making the situation worse. Homelander and Maeve forcefully opened the plane door during the flight, resulting in one of the kids that was close to the door being sucked out of the plane and dying due to the the cabin decompression. Entering the plane while the air was escaping, Queen Maeve told the scared passengers to put their oxygen masks on while Homelander strolled to the cockpit to stop the terrorists.

Being overwhelmed by all the passengers screaming for help, Homelander told them to shut up with his sonic scream, making the passengers' eardrums bleed. After the Deep broke the windshield, Homelander killed the terrorists and the plane began to fall. As Queen Maeve chastised him for his incompetence, Homelander gave up and left the plane with Mister Marathon holding on to him. After Marathon convinced him that they should help the planet otherwise Vought would fire them, Homelander flew towards the back of the plane in an attempt to shove the tail down and level it. Not measuring his own strength, Homelander ended up breaking the plane in half and killed Mister Marathon due to the impact. The fractured plane ended up crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge.

Meeting the Boys “ I asked the others afterwards, and none of them picked up on it. All they got was a constant sense of disdain, like you barely thought they were worth looking at. Actually, you didn't look at them. You couldn't take your eyes off me. ―Homelander to Butcher regarding their first meeting ” Shortly after the 9/11 disaster, Homelander and the Seven began to be blackmailed with proof of their involvement in the incident by The Boys, a government-sponsored group of people tasked with policing, monitoring, and potentially stopping corrupt superheroes, led at the time by Lieutenant-Colonel Greg Mallory. The blackmail enraged Lamplighter, making him burn Mallory's granddaughters in a fit of anger, which threatened to unleash a violent conflict between the Seven and the CIA.

Knowing what a conflict between them and the government would lead to, regardless of who'd came out on top, the Seven and the Boys decided to make a truce to prevent said conflict from escalating, with the group of Supes agreeing to sacrifice Lamplighter, giving him over to the Boys so that Mallory could kill him as revenge. During the meeting where Lamplighter was given to the group of superhuman watchdogs, Homelander noticed how one of them, Billy Butcher, couldn't take his eyes off him, noticing some intense hatred coming from the man directed at him specifically.

Welcoming Starlight “ You were kidding. That's brilliant. That was an official meeting of the Seven- that means playtime's over. Do you understand? Do you? ―Homelander to A-Train ” HomelanderThreatensATrain Homelander threatens A-Train

Homelander was present to welcome Starlight, the new member of the Seven and replacement for Lamplighter, and show her their headquarters. Right after the tour, Homelander demanded that Starlight engaged in oral sex with him and two other members of the Seven, A-Train and Black Noir, as way to test how much she wanted to join the team.

He later held a meeting where he officially introduced Starlight as the new member of the Seven and discussed merchandising with the rest of his team, explaining that him, Noir and Queen Maeve gained more due to being more popular as "the big three". After Homelander caught A-Train making a slurping gesture to Starlight in the middle of the meeting, he threatened A-Train in private after the meeting and made him promise to never do that again in front of a Vought-American member.

Return of the Boys “ For us, duty calls- but let me just take a moment to remind the people at home that we're still watching out for them. That's our job. That's what we do. And should the worst ever happen, please, just remember: we'll be there for you. ―The Homelander's speech on live television ” TheSevenComicLiveTV Homelander and the Seven on television

Shortly after the members of Teenage Kix began to be blackmailed and were forced to out one of their own members, it didn't take long for Homelander to figure out that Billy Butcher and the Boys were back to policing Supes. During another meeting, Homelander informed the rest of the Seven about Butcher's return and how his targeting of Teenage Kix was a "warning shot" for them, saying he wasn't gonna go away. Homelander also informed Starlight during their meeting that Vought American demanded her to have a more revealing and "photogenic" costume from now on.

Following a huge fight between the members of Teenage Kix and the Boys, where Blarney Cock was killed and the other Supes were left badly injured, the Seven talked about how unusual was for the Boys to be so public about their attacks. During a live interview, Homelander introduced Starlight in her new costume as the replacement of Lamplighter in the Seven, later giving a speech about how they'll always be watching out for the people before going off to save the world.

Weakened Truce “ Why do you hate me so much? I don't mean this problem with super-people in general, or why your team has the agenda that it does. I mean why do you hate me? I can hear your heartrate, you know. You can keep your face perfectly still, but can't stop your heart pounding along like that--and I know it's not from fear, I'd be able to smell it. It's anger. Exactly the same as the last time we met. ―Homelander to Billy Butcher ” HomelanderButcherBridge Homelander meets with Butcher at the Brooklyn Bridge

The next year, Homelander had conversation with James Stillwell, where he disclosed to the Supe that Butcher and his men probably informed the white house of their V.P.'s visits and Vic's speech, with Homelander believing their headquarters was bugged. He later sent the Deep to meet with the Boys to see if the truce was still active, as he believed he wouldn't be able to hold his temper if he went himself. After Butcher refused to speak unless Homelander himself came to him, the two agreed to met at the remains of the Brooklyn Bridge. After explaining to Butcher what consequences his actions would lead to and him never answering, Homelander asked the man why he hated him so much and began to suspect that he did something to someone that was close to Butcher. After eventually figuring out that he did something to Butcher's wife, Butcher's pet Terror peed on Homelander, with the Supe threating to laser the dog before Butcher told him the truce would be officially broken if he harmed the animal. Tired of his games, Homelander told Butcher that he didn't care anymore and that he could start doing his worst if he wanted to, which ended their meeting. Back at their headquarters, Homelander was confronted by A-Train who demanded him to punish Starlight for blinding him after he tried to rape her, to which Homelander responded by throwing a fighter jet onto another, creating an explosion to make it clear that he wasn't in the mood for his complaints. Death He roused the Supes together to takeover the United States. He personally killed Victor Neuman. Coming face to face with Butcher he revealed he didn't remember committing his photographed acts. That's when Black Noir appears and reveals he was the one who raped Butcher's wife and got her pregnant, ultimately resulting in her death, also manipulating Homelander so that he could kill him, the one purpose for his creation. Angered at being used, he fought Noir, taking their fight outside, however Noir eventually won, holding a part of Homelander's torso and his arm, albeit heavily damaged. Flight: Homelander is able to levitate and propel himself at great speeds, allowing him to cover vast distances in a matter of minutes. He can keep up with airplanes and break the sound barrier. During the "I Tell You No Lie, G.I." storyline, he flew through the tail of a plane and smashed it in half. Billy Butcher says that some Supes can fly to the moon. Weaknesses Psychological Lack of Training: He has no formal training in the use of his powers, or in handling dangerous situations. Along with the rest of his team, these inadequacies led to disaster when they attempted to stop a terrorist hijacking of a plane. Mental Illness: Homelander is a mentally unstable man. His obsessive need to be adored coupled with his consummate lack of empathy and lack of moral reservation about harming, even killing others suggests he is afflicted with Malignant Narcissism. After getting tricked by Black Noir that he committed a variety of heinous crimes, such as rape and cannibalism, Homelander became even more insane and mentally unstable. Biological Blunt Force/Limited Durability: Homelander can be wounded and killed by someone who is as strong as or stronger than him, such as in the case of Black Noir. Absence of fulcrum (Tentative): During the "I Tell You No Lie, G.I." storyline, the events of 9/11 seem to suggest that he is unable to use his full strength in flight, requiring a solid surface to take full advantage of his power.
