Antony Starr as Homelander in front of a cracked mirror in The Boys
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Homelander's story becomes infinitely more tragic as a consequence of one big reveal from The Boys season 4, episode 4. Homelander's backstory has been alluded to in flashes across The Boys seasons 1-3, with extra details revealed via online shorts starring young Homelander and The Boys: Diabolical. The finer details of the supe's past have, however, remained largely mysterious.
Barbara Confirms Homelander's Need For Approval Was A Deliberate Part Of Vought's Design Vought's Experiments Look Even More Cruel After The Boys Season 4, Episode 4 Ever since The Boys began in 2019, Homelander's desperate need for love and approval has been abundantly clear. From sucking away at the nipple of Madelyn Stillwell in season 1 to pining for an emotional father-son reunion with Soldier Boy in The Boys season 3, Homelander has always sought validation.
Not only did Vought make the grave mistake of birthing a supe with enough power to destroy humanity, the company deliberately gave him an emotional itch that could never be scratched. Ultimately, Homelander is responsible for his own actions, and no event from the past can justify the many murders committed at his hands.
Homelander not killing Barbara is another telltale clue that his demons remain intact. During Homelander's lab visit in The Boys season 4, it becomes clear that Barbara was always the person he most sought to impress, as she was the only scientist to never show fear towards him. Barbara was, in essence, the closest Homelander had to a mother figure during his formative years.
