Summary
Marie possesses an extraordinary ability of blood manipulation that holds the potential to overcome even Homelander's invincibility in The Boys. By harnessing either her own blood or that of others, she possesses the capability to inflict severe physical harm.Despite Homelander's extensive array of powers, his human-like composition renders him vulnerable to Marie's blood manipulation prowess.
However, Marie's power has its potential weaknesses. If she were to experience extreme blood loss, she would become vulnerable. This vulnerability could be exploited by Homelander through attacks on her main arteries or utilizing his other powers, such as laser vision, to overpower her.
In the spinoff series Gen V of The Boys, a gruesome superpower has been teased that could potentially kill Homelander. This upcoming superhero show showcases Lizzie Broadway, Jaz Sinclair, and Patrick Schwarzenegger as a group of ambitious young heroes. Throughout their training at Godolkin University, they will face challenges that test their physical, mental, and moral limits, with the ultimate goal of becoming as powerful and respected as The Seven. Jensen Ackles, known for his role as Soldier Boy, returns to portray an earlier version of the character known as Eagle Soldier Boy, who is the only individual capable of matching Homelander's strength.
Marie's Gen V Superpower Could Kill Homelander In The Boys
The upcoming series is poised to generate as much controversy as, if not more than, The Boys due to its incorporation of young superhuman individuals infused with dark humor and graphic violence. A prime example of this is showcased in the official teaser trailer released by Amazon Prime, where Marie Moreau exhibits her superpower capable of inflicting extreme physical damage. The impending Season 4 of The Boys suggests that Homelander will possess heightened power and garner unparalleled adoration, making it seemingly impossible for anyone to triumph over him in terms of physical prowess. However, the introduction of Marie and her unique superpower may potentially disrupt this equation, thereby making her a probable contender to vanquish Homelander, as insinuated by The Boys.In The Boys' universe, Marie possesses a unique ability to manipulate blood, setting her apart from other supes. Using her own blood, she can create tentacles that defy gravity and twist into incredible shapes, reminiscent of the Venom Symbiote. What makes her truly formidable is her capability to also harness and control other people's blood, ensuring an endless supply of ammunition. In a humorous yet noteworthy scene from the teaser, Marie proudly reveals her power to explode a character's penis, showcasing her remarkable control over others' anatomy.
Why Marie's Superpowers Might Not Work On Homelander
Despite all of Homelander's superior abilities, he remains a mortal being composed of flesh and blood like any other individual. Therefore, in theory, Marie, a blood-bender of immense power, could manipulate Homelander's blood as well. With the capability to extend her blood beyond her body, Marie could potentially extract and control Homelander's blood, presenting her with the grim choice of either internally initiating explosions within his physical form or gradually draining his blood until he meets his demise. Based on current knowledge, there is no evidence to suggest that Homelander possesses any superpowers that could directly thwart either of these potential actions.
Due to the high number of characters Homelander has eliminated, there remains a possibility that Marie's blood-bending won't be effective on him. Typically, superheroes possess a weakness, and if Marie lacks access to her own blood for manipulation, her capability to control others would likely be diminished. In such a scenario, Homelander could exploit this vulnerability by targeting major arteries to drain all the blood from Marie's body before she can retaliate. If she is unable to regulate her blood loss, she may succumb before being able to eliminate him.
In addition, Homelander possesses the ability to lift Marie to tremendous heights and drop her or simply use his laser vision to decapitate her. By manipulating someone's blood, Marie showcases her extraordinary power, positioning her as one of the most formidable superheroes in The Boys' universe. However, Homelander's immense strength, speed, and other abilities, coupled with his deceitful and ruthless nature, make him an exceedingly dangerous adversary. Although Marie may not be among the Gen V characters aiming to kill Homelander, the scene depicting her gazing up at his statue could hint at her future attempt to do so.
