Ok so once in a while we'll do a How To Beat video centred around a superhero.
However the funnest ones to do are about Supervillains because more times than not they're left living
so that the heroes have someone to face once more down the line.
All of Batman's villains are still breathing to this day because the caped crusader refuses
to kill.
This is something that is seen across the board in comic books but in The Boys that's
totally different.
There are several characters that are actively trying to kill Homelander no matter what but
they just can't seem to do it.
So throughout this video I thought I'd put together several of the ways that I think
the character can be brutally murdered yaaaay.
This also contains which persoan I think has the greatest chance against him and the abilities
that you better hope you get when you shoot up some V24.
Now when Garth Ennis was first coming up with the concept for The Boys he made it clear
from the off that he wanted the big weakness for the Supes to be their egos.
These are people that can destroy the planet if they put their mind to it but the idea
of celebrity twisted them into narcassits that were desperate for attention.
Just the thought that someone might not like them could send them off into an angry rage
and ultimately that's their biggest weakness of all.
However it still doesn't mean that they're easy to kill and with the case of Homelander
there's several gunning for him that all have their own powers.
Now the first is Victoria Neumann that will blow your head off down a back alley after
work like Rya...you know what I'm not even gonna say it.
Anyway throughout the shows there's been a sort of will they won't they motif with her
and Homelander over whether she can actually kill him or not.
At the end of Episode 1 in Season 3 we get a better indication of her powers as she blows
off someone's jaw first, then a part of their head before destroying their entire body.
Can't show this because of Youtube Demonetisation but just imagine it's happening, imagine hitting
that bloody thumbs up button whilst you're at it as well.
To me this makes me think that she can do more than just explode someones skull and
she can control blood on a molecular level to make it exit the body at speeds strong
enough to destroy it.
This is also hinted towards when she taunts Starlight after Annie refuses to side with
her.
Neumann gives her a nosebleed and says that it would be difficult to kill her but not
impossible.
Now I always took this as meaning that it would be difficult to make it look natural
rather than whether Vic could actually do it or not.
Homelander also taunted Vic with trying to pop his head when he went to visit her with
V for her daughter.
Now because of this control over blood I actually do believe that she could kill Homelander
it would just take a lot for her to do it.
When fighting against Maeve, Homelander ended up getting stabbed in the ear which caused
him to bleed.
As they say in Predator.
if it bleeds we can kill it
So I do think that Victoria could kill him if it came down to it it just depends whether
she could get the drop on him first when he's spamming his eye laser attacks.
Now that takes us into our next power which is likely another way that he could be killed
once and for all.
I dont think it's any coincidence that both Ryan and Butcher have powers that centre around
being able to shoot lasers out of their eyes.
Sure Billys came from the compound whereas Ryan's was natural but still, there's a reason
that both these characters have this ability.
I think that's purely down to the fact that it's a way that can kill Homelander and honestly,
I think this will be what happens to the character when he's taken out in his final episode.
I mean it would be pretty ironic if he went out this way, especially considering that
he spams it whenever he's in trouble.
This happened on the airplane, during the protest at the end and even when he escaped
the battle at herogasm.
So having him go out like this would be bitter irony.
Now I think that when the show is coming to a close that it'll come down to Ryan almost
killing his dad after he realises how bad he's become.
However, Butcher at this point will then step forward, take a final shot of v24, unleash
his own eye lasers and kill the charcter once and for all.
This would stop Ryan from becoming a murderer and it would also mean that Billy's life goal
is complete.
I think this final shot will mean that he sucumbs to the compound but with him living
on borrowed time already it'll be him going out on his own terms.
That might not happen but either way I think that the pair both have this power for a writing
reason.
Plus we know from the fight in herogasm that the beams can block each other so if Homelander
was to use it then this is a way to stop his favourite attack.
If used for long enough this could be completely devastating and though with Stormfront it
was initially used to.
laser my f**king t**s
We saw come the end of Season 2 how this could completely wipe her out if it came down to
it.
Now Ryan having his exact same abilities means that he can potentially stop him if it comes
down to it.
This is also demonstrated in the comics.
In them his death came at the hands of Black Noir who was revealed to be a clone of him.
He had the exact same power set but he'd hidden this from all the other characters by just
pretending to be a ninja type of Supes.
During 9/11 when the Seven were called in to stop a hijacked plane he even ended up
falling from it to what should've been his death if he was just a normal character.
The Legend told this whole story to Hughie and even he recounted how no one knows how
Black Noir survived it but in hindsight we know that this was due to him flying away.
This shows that if you have the same skillset as Homelander that it is difficult to take
him down.
I don't wanna go over the whole clonelander thing as that's been done to death thousands
of times in my videos but Black Noir at least to me demonstrates that Ryan at the very least
could kill him.
Now there is another way beyond this in the source material.
Before we jump into it though I wanna let you know that we've just created a clips channel
that has a lot of heavy highlights from our videos.
It's gonna be home of our shorts rather than posting them out on this main one.
We haven't really got many subs at the moment so I massively appreciate everyone who decides
to jump over there and support that too.
Who's the real heroes?
You are.
Now early on in the comics The Boys end up going to Russia in order to take down Little
Nina.
We discover that she's got a refined version of Compound V that's capable of exploding
the head of a Supes if the correct radio frequency is used to trigger it.
Nina was planning a coup on the country with Vought but the Boys ended up stopping her
before she and the corporation were able to take control.
Little Nina had an army of over fifty Supes and Butcher arrived at the end of the issue
to destroy them all by blowing their heads off using an emittor.
Cut to the end of the comics and this is the same method that Butcher attempts to use to
wipe out every Supe on Earth.
He climbs to the top of the Empire State Building in order to carry this out and he would've
got away with it if it wasn't for that meddling Hughie.
However this shows that there is a way to kill Supes across the board and it would likely
also work with Homelander who as we discussed with Victoria can be killed by using this
method.
But how would you get this into his system?
After all it will be difficult to get close to him and if bullets have trouble breaking
through his skin then a needle probably would too.
Sure you could do what Maeve did and hit him in the weakpoints like his eyes or ears but
I can think of a much better way.
Put the special V in the breast milk.
-
Gaaddaaam I love some bitty from that itty bitty titty.
This would get the V in his system so just go to Vought, fill up the fridge and let the
mans cravings do the savings.
Judging by the reveals in Season 3 we also know that Novichock can work as a way to subdue
the supes.
Not only did it impair Maeve when they were transporting her but we also saw how it kept
Soldier Boy sedated for several decades.
My guess is that this nerve agent will start popping up more and more down the line and
that it'll be used as one of the main weapons by The Boys to put him to sleep worse than
my voice in this video.
Lastly you could always just find a Supe that can shrink down and have him jump into his
d**k.
That would work and ey, #JusticeForTermite.
So how do you beat Homelander, well either you or explode his head, shoot him with laser
beams or use Black Noir.
However I think we all know that the best way to defeat him is just to cancel him.
As I mentioned earlier his ego is his biggest weakness and though the guy threatened Starlight
with destroying the Earth if he was exposed, I think it's all a bluff.
She exposed him throughout the series at numerous points and even got him on camera admitting
to his crimes.
Still he's showing up at rallies, being the head of Vought and overall if he was gonna
do it he would've done it by now.
The guys need to be loved is too much and this of course calls back to his childhood,
namely how he was raised as a lab experiment.
So what you need to do is dig up some old tweets, post em on the internet and act like
you've never said anything problematic or offensive in your entire life.
Because everyone is self righteous on the internet they'll all join in too and do whatever
they can to be the real heroes.
Before you know it #HomelanderIsOverParty will be trending worldwide and he'll be reduced
to shivering and shaking like he's just seen his dad pop up at a rally after he told him
capes are for pu**ies.
Go on you, another celebrity taken out until they inevitably return in a years time.
