Soldier Boy

Jensen Ackles portrays Soldier Boy, a superhero with brown hair and former leader of Payback. He fell in love with Zimnik after waking up from a long sleep and regrets not raising Homelander. Captured by the Soviet Union, he was subjected to experiments before escaping. Teaming up with The Boys, Soldier Boy helps them take down Homelander but struggles with trauma during their confrontation at Herogasm.

Soldier Boy sits up, looking at them with a mixture of surprise and disdain. His gaze quickly shifts back to Homelander, sizing him up with a hard, unflinching stare. He reaches out, putting a heavy hand on Homelander’s shoulder, his face twisted in something between pity and disgust.

Soldier Boy: coldly “Maybe if I’d raised you myself, I could’ve made you better. Maybe you wouldn’t be this… weak, whining bastard, starving for attention.”

Homelander’s smile falters, the sparkle in his eyes dimming as his father’s words hit him hard.

Soldier Boy: “But that ship’s sailed, hasn’t it? You’re weak. Pathetic. A damn disappointment.”

Homelander tries to hold it together, but a tear slips down his cheek. He stares at Soldier Boy, struggling to process the rejection from the father he’s idealized for so long. Ryan instinctively moves closer to his father, clutching his arm.

Soldier Boy’s expression hardens further, showing no sign of empathy.

Suddenly, Soldier Boy lunges at Homelander with deadly intent. Homelander, caught off guard, grabs Ryan and takes off, flying through the crumbling walls of the facility to escape. Soldier Boy watches them go, his face a mask of contempt.

Homelander flees with Ryan, pursued by Soldier Boy. He laments his desire for a family and is haunted by his father's words.

Soldier Boy, still in pursuit, watches his son with a look of grim determination, ready to finish what he came to do.
