Make no mistake, Homelander is more powerful than Soldier Boy, but can he take him out in a fight? We don't think so. Besides, unlike Homelander, who probably wants all the credit for himself, Soldier Boy isn't above asking for help.
In the scenario where a true battle breaks out, it would seem that Homelander will win. While Soldier Boy's new powers make him more formidable, Homelander's full array of abilities gives him the edge. He can fly away from Soldier Boy's attacks and use that same power to quickly surprise him.
Even though Soldier Boy could not take down Homelander with the help of Hughie and Butcher (Karl Urban) using temporary doses of Compound V, it was abundantly clear that he is still the closest anyone has been to the individual strength of Homelander.
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.
While The Boys' “evil Superman” Homelander was the show's most odious villain for a long time, Soldier Boy soon proved he might be even worse than Homelander. This made it all the more surprising when The Boys season 3 revealed that, as a first-generation supe, Soldier Boy was Homeland's absent father.
The original Soldier Boy is later revealed to have been mercy killed by Mallory during his first mission at the Battle of the Bulge, after his "Avenging Squad" inadvertently caused Mallory's men to be massacred, and been replaced by the second for the remainder of the war.
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.
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.
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. His longevity appears to be real in the show however. The TV version also alludes to the fact that he was an abusive monster behind closed doors.
Benjamin, better known as Soldier Boy, is a major antagonist in the Amazon TV adaption of the comic book series The Boys. He serves as a mentioned character in Seasons 1 and 2, one of the two main antagonists (along with Homelander) of Season 3 and will return in some capacity in Season 4.
Make no mistake, Homelander is more powerful than Soldier Boy, but can he take him out in a fight? We don't think so. Besides, unlike Homelander, who probably wants all the credit for himself, Soldier Boy isn't above asking for help.
Though Captain America is one of the most beloved Marvel superheroes, his skills and abilities may not be enough to overtake the powerful Homelander. Though his vibranium shield may be able to hold off Homelander's heat vision, Homelander's other powers may give him the edge to easily overpower Cap. ...
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.
Kimiko also forms tight friendships with Hughie and Starlight. Though she isn't always a fan of her powers, she never hesitates to use them to protect the people she cares for. Kimiko is the strongest hero of The Boys, with heightened levels of superhuman strength, durability, speed, and reflexes.
As a result, he gained strength and enhanced reflexes, as well as a healing factor that allows him to keep fighting even after sustaining injuries that would take down a normal human. He's not, however, immortal or totally immune to harm.
The difference between their strength levels is night and day because Soldier Boy has superhuman strength. On the other hand, Captain America is only at the peak level of human strength.
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.
His powers are standard leading man abilities in the comic world: superhuman strength, superhuman speed, and superhuman longevity. He can move as quickly, punch as hard, and age as slowly as Homelander. In the comics, he can also generate powerful energy blasts.
No, many other-powered individuals are much above him. Homelander is the strongest Supe.
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.
In the comics, Soldier Boy is only sleeping with Homelander in order to gain favor with the leader of The Seven. In the TV show, however, Homelander is the one seeking Soldier Boy's approval, with Soldier Boy being the father that Homelander never had.
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.
During Payback's fight against Soldier Boy, Black Noir received catastrophic brain injuries that left him both unable to verbally communicate and saddled with bizarre hallucinations of cartoon animals.
It is likely that whatever this power is also prevented Black Noir from healing almost 40 years prior. The attack that decimated the Payback team and permanently scarred Black Noir is not fully shown on screen, but hinted at in dialogue between Grace Mallory and Crimson Countess.
Just like the other supes, Black Noir was tired of Soldier Boy's abuse, but the turning point came via an offer from Stan Edgar.
