Yes 100%. Remember, from feats seen on screen and lore behind them, Soldier boy is the only supe close to homelander. Ryan could get there and Cindy certainly seemed overly powerful, but currently, Soldier Boy is the only one definitively close to Homelander.
Superhuman strength: Soldier Boy is not as strong as Homelander, Stormfront, or any other supes. However, he is still relatively strong, similar to a super-soldier.
The three regroup at a motel and negotiate the terms of their alliance. Butcher and Hughie agree to give Soldier Boy information about his former teammates, and once he has his revenge, Soldier Boy will use his powers to kill Homelander.
In theory, Soldier Boy should be able to kill Homelander, assuming his power affects Homelander the same way it affected Kimiko. But there's no guarantee; Homelander could get wind of the attempt and kill everybody before they try something.
It is possible that Soldier Boy could remove Homelander as a threat by taking away his powers. This would be more likely then outright killing the guy. Homelander is on the more immortal side, a little like Kimiko, so we could see Soldier Boy's abilities to take out Homelander's powers.
However, Noir's fear of Soldier Boy is surprisingly bigger than his loyalty to Homelander. When Noir escaped from Vought due to the news of Soldier Boy returning, Homelander was genuinely distraught over the news as he believed Noir always had his back.
In the "What I Know" arc, Butcher is revealed to have killed Soldier Boy with a public funeral being held for him and members of the Seven (including the Homelander) serving as his pallbearers.
Kimiko is the strongest hero of The Boys, with heightened levels of superhuman strength, durability, speed, and reflexes. She also possesses an accelerated healing factor that allows her to heal almost as fast as she's injured.
Weaknesses: When Soldier Boy's PTSD is triggered, his emotional state can get out of control, causing him to lose control over his powers.
The grand finale of The Boys comic book series confirms that there is only one hero who is actually stronger than Homelander, and that's his (even more) evil clone, Black Noir. Created to be an upgraded version of Homelander, Black Noir proves his superiority in the final battle between these two deranged powerhouses.
Soldier Boy would win in a fight against Captain America. Although Captain America has the experience and fighting skills, he doesn't have Soldier Boy's strength and durability. On top of that, Soldier Boy recently obtained the powerful ability to release nuclear energy blasts from his body.
Since he hates himself, Soldier Boy cannot help but despise Homelander for being "a disappointment" just like him, which explains why he refuses to join forces with him.
Yup, Soldier Boy is Homelander's biological father. Suddenly all these daddy issues make a lot more sense. This character element isn't from the original The Boys comics, but was something Kripke and the writer's room came up with for the show.
During a mission in Nicaragua – conveyed to viewers via a cartoon flashback – we also discover that Stan Edgar gave Black Noir the order to kill Soldier Boy to make room for Homelander. During the ensuing brawl, Soldier Boy beat him so savagely that it left half his face melted and his skull burst into bits.
In the comics, the Scarlet Witch, also known as Wanda Maximoff, is a powerful mutant with the ability to manipulate reality through her magical powers and can therefore easily defeat the Homelander.
Though Homelander and Black Noir are theoretically evenly matched, Black Noir succeeded in killing Homelander, making him the one Supe to do the impossible. As the number one Supe, it's unlikely that anyone could defeat the Seven's leader.
Soldier Boy was the original strongest superhero in the world, and even after being brought to the present day, it is only the upgraded version of himself that is more powerful than him.
The superhero Soldier Boy was given a shield with an eagle emblem sometime after World War II, during which he preferred to carry a submachine gun. The shield is very heavy, as normal humans cannot lift it, while he can wield it with ease. In 1984, Soldier Boy and Payback were stationed in Nicaragua.
Amazon Prime Soldier Boy is a war hero in both the comics and the show. In the TV version of The Boys, the character is also a WWII hero who possesses superhuman speed, strength and durability, again thanks to a special serum.
In combat between the two, they are fairly equal, but Homelander's heat ray vision cannot cause the same level of destruction as quickly or easily as Soldier Boy. Another aspect that makes Soldier Boy a worse villain than Homelander is his unprocessed trauma.
Gumchum doesn't do anything else in the series besides off his fellow Supes gum. It's his sole purpose. He might be the worst hero in terms of powers and abilities in The Boys, as he's effectively useless in battle.
Blunt Force/Limited Durability: Supes such as Homelander, Soldier Boy, Black Noir, Queen Maeve, and Stormfront possess strength greater than hers and can overpower and even kill her.
“God please bless me I've been patient.” Soulja also shared a photo of him with his hand on his girlfriend's pregnant belly during the gender reveal party. According to TMZ, the mother of Soulja's child, is celebrity hairstylist Jackie, whose clients include Nicki Minaj, Brandy, Kim Kardashian, and The Weeknd.
Despite being imprisoned for decades, Soldier Boy's ruthlessness remained, evident in how he brutally murdered Mindstorm. His need for revenge also made him selfish, as he was willing to leave Butcher behind to find Mindstorm, and punched Hughie due to his interference.
However, Starlight does not die in the comics when the story finally comes to a close. She is fully prepared to die trying to defeat Homelander, but Queen Maeve actually saves her from his wrath. This results in Homelander killing Queen Maeve, and Black Noir later is the one responsible for killing The Seven's leader.
