Homelander is the leader of The Seven, a group of superheroes, in the series 'The Boys'. He possesses abilities akin to those of Superman, including super strength, flight, and laser vision. However, Homelander is not the benevolent hero he appears to be. He is egotistical, ruthless, and often cruel, using his powers to maintain control over others. His public persona is that of a patriotic hero, but behind the scenes, he is manipulative and power-hungry, creating a complex and dangerous antagonist in the series.
