Homelander sees himself as the greatest power in the world, but The Boys disagrees, and uses his death to humiliate and denigrate him.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Spoilers for The Boys comic book series!While Homelander is set up throughout The Boys as the series' big bad, his eventual death perfectly flips this concept by robbing him of his dignity and relevance. An incredibly powerful parody of DC's Superman, Homelander is a brutal bully who ultimately decides to stage a coup on the United States, murdering the president and countless people in a short-sighted grab for power.
For most of The Boys, Homelander is held up as an unkillable terror - someone who can't be brought down by normal means, and who plunges the country into chaos on a whim. It's exactly how he presents himself, and yet ultimately it's the lie of someone who has the maturity of a teenager. Homelander's coup is deeply unsuccessful, lasting less than a day and ending with him murdered by Vought's secret weapon and his superhero 'army' mowed down by the military. Homelander isn't actually an unfeeling killer, but rather someone playing the part who is constantly questioning his own actions.
