What makes the Homelander truly scary.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The true terror of The Boys' antagonist Homelander was perfectly captured in a moment involving the villain's inspiration, Superman. A dark moment for the Man of Steel reveals why the twisted Supe is the most horrifying of all.

The Boys is a dark comedy and satire about the superhero genre. It largely follows a covert group and the missions they go on to monitor superhuman, aka Supe, activity. The most powerful and sinister Supe the Boys have their eye on is the Homelander, the leader of the Justice League-like team, the Seven. Homelander has many of Superman's powers but is completely devoid of the humanitarian attitude or outlook on life that Clark Kent has.

Superman Sees Fear in People When He Doesn't Save Them In Hitman #34 by Garth Ennis and John McCrea, Tommy Monaghan has a chance encounter with Superman on top of a building. Superman is quietly contemplating the trying day he's just had and opens up about his recent failure. A nuclear space shuttle that had recently left for a mission to Mars blew up earlier in the evening. As the shuttle reached a critical state, Superman raced to the scene to try and save the day.

The deep guilt and pain Superman feels over this is a far cry from Homelander, who wantonly kills people. But this scene excellently illustrates the terror behind Homelander. Superman is more than just a superhero, he's an institution, the ultimate paragon of good. His very image is associated with compassion and a deep love of humanity.

An Evil Superman is the Ultimate and Cruelest Betrayal Everyone knows Superman saves the day and people trust in him. While The Boys presents Homelander as its Superman equivalent, it quickly becomes obvious that he has no compassion for humanity. Homelander's waning mental state and his belief in Supe supremacy perverts the idea of who Superman is. The real Superman knows how people see him and that not living up to that image can cause panic.
