Ranking Every Superhero From The Boys From Worst To… Even Worse
12. Doppelganger
Each and every Vought superhero has their own unique power, and while some like Homelander's super strength, laser vision, and ability to fly, or A-Train's super speed lend themselves to the potential to do good, some don't.
No one who has ever had the ability to change shape has used it for good, and Doppelganger is no different. Instead, he used it for really the only thing it can be used for, illusion and deception.
In season one, Doppelganger used his powers to manipulate Senator Calhoun into some compromising pictures, ultimately used by Madelyn Stillwell to blackmail him and secure his vote to get her supes into the military. In season two, he used his power to recreate Stillwell for Homelander, and was murdered when this no longer pleased the leader of the Seven.
Though Doppelganger was not particularly evil, he was little more than the puppet of Stillwell and Homelander, doing whatever they wanted him to do with no questions asked. Surely, there are better things he could have done with his powers, but he was likely rewarded very handsomely for his work.
