Ranking Every Superhero From The Boys From Worst To… Even Worse
2. Homelander
Where to start with Homelander? Thanks to his horrible upbringing and unequalled powers, the leader of the Seven felt entitled, and genuinely thought of himself as better than everyone else. He is the Homelander, and he can do whatever the f*ck he wants. That's how he lives his life.
In the first instance, the character was shown as the exception to the rest of the supes. Billy described him as a saint, he was kind to the public and to Starlight to begin with, and seemed to have some sort of loyalty and camaraderie with the Seven. This all went out the window when he shot down the plane of the Mayor of Baltimore, and many more innocents.
It would take far too long to go through all the horrendous things Homelander has done throughout the first two seasons of the show, but this is epitomised by his indifference and inconsideration for anyone who isn't him, his murderous rage, and the fact that he raped Becca Butcher.
Even when he was trying to be a good father to Ryan, he completely alienated and utterly disrespected Becca and the eight years she spent raising the child she had no say in conceiving. Homelander is basically a ridiculously dangerous man-child, willing to kill even those closest to him with the least provocation, but amazingly, he is not the worst superhero the show has ever seen...
