The Boys TV show continues to explore thrilling possibilities with Amazon's take on the comics' Big Homelander twist From clone conspiracies to surprising character replacements, here are 9 intriguing ways the series can still deliver an epic twist
Warning: Contains SPOILERS for The Boys comics!
Summary
The Homelander twist in The Boys could be enhanced by substituting Black Noir with a potential imposter, such as the Homelander clone depicted in the comics. Vought has demonstrated the capability to clone Homelander, which was revealed through the discovery that Homelander himself is a clone of Soldier Boy.
Vought may take advantage of Homelander's potential redemption by replacing him with a clone, considering his improvement towards the end of The Boys season 3. Despite the unlikely scenario, Amazon Prime's series, The Boys, has explored nine alternative approaches to incorporate the significant Homelander twist from the comic series, as the show has already opted for a different direction.
9 Vought Is Replacing Black Noir With An Impostor In Season 4
The main antagonist of The Boys comics and TV show is Homelander, but there is a significant deviation between the Amazon Prime series and the comic books. In the comics, it is revealed that the enigmatic Black Noir is, in fact, a clone created by Vought using Homelander's genetic material. This clone was intended as a fail-safe for Vought, designed to neutralize the original Homelander if he ever became a threat. Throughout the comic series, the true identity of Black Noir remains undisclosed, making this revelation quite shocking. However, in the Amazon Prime series, Black Noir is not a clone of Homelander, and therefore, this plot twist will need to be altered.
To recreate the Homelander twist, The Boys could opt for a straightforward solution: Vought could replace Black Noir with a doppelgänger. Although Black Noir has been a part of Payday for quite some time in the show, Homelander meets his demise in The Boys season 3. Vought, being cautious about the public's knowledge of this incident, could easily substitute Black Noir with an imposter. This imposter might take the form of the Homelander clone featured in the comics, thus executing the Homelander twist much like the original source material.
8 It's Possible Vought Can Clone Homelander (Because Of Soldier Boy)
Although a Homelander clone hasn't been explicitly mentioned in Amazon Prime's The Boys, it seems highly probable that Vought possesses the necessary technology to accomplish this feat. The upcoming third season of The Boys unveils the stunning revelation that Homelander is actually a clone of Soldier Boy, indicating that the company has long possessed the capability to replicate their most formidable supes. Consequently, not only could Vought potentially employ this same technology to clone Homelander at present, but they would likely be capable of producing an even superior clone considering the company's extended period of refining their methodologies.
7 The Boys Has Teased Homelander's Redemption
One interesting aspect of The Boys comics is how the Black Noir Homelander clone carries out some of Homelander's most heinous acts, including the horrifying rape of Becca Butcher. However, the portrayal of Homelander in Amazon Prime's series takes it even further, depicting him as being considerably more vile than his comic book counterpart. This suggests that he wouldn't have any qualms about committing such atrocious deeds. Nevertheless, in The Boys season 3, we witness a slight improvement in Homelander's behavior as he develops a bond with his son. If Homelander truly undergoes a transformation, it could be the opportune moment for Vought to replace him with a clone.
6 A Completely New Vought Supe Is Revealed To Be A Homelander Clone
5 Vought Uses Temp V To Give Humans Homelander's Powers
There are alternative approaches for The Boys to incorporate the Homelander twist from the comics without resorting to Black Noir as a Homelander clone. The potential exists for another Vought supe to be covertly a Homelander clone, although the specific individual remains unknown. The Boys has previously introduced numerous supes not present in the original comics, making any one of them a plausible secret clone candidate. This direction may be more effective, as it would also captivate comic series enthusiasts. Given the abundance of supes in the Sage Grove Center and Godolkin University, it is conceivable that Vought's Homelander clone could reside somewhere within The Boys universe.
An alternative approach for Vought to manipulate and manipulate Homelander involves the introduction of a new variation of Compound V in The Boys season 3, known as Temp V. Temp V is a temporary version of the serum that grants superpowers to individuals, but its effects only endure for 24 hours. Each user of Temp V acquires a distinct and randomly assigned power, thereby enabling Vought to identify someone with comparable abilities to Homelander's and incriminate them. Significantly, even Billy Butcher gains the power of laser eyes through Temp V, implying that he could potentially assume the role of this imposter for Vought.
4 Vought Can Frame Homelander Using Another Doppelganger
An alternative method to replicate Homelander would involve employing a shapeshifter to impersonate him. Fortunately, The Boys already possesses such an individual: Doppelganger. Unfortunately, Doppelganger met his demise at the hands of Homelander during Season 2. However, if Vought were to harness the power of Compound V and generate another Doppelganger, they could leverage this newfound superhuman capability to assume Homelander's identity and carry out the corporation's objectives. Notably, Doppelganger perishes while emulating Homelander's appearance, underscoring the feasibility of this scheme.
3 Stan Edgar Uses The Clone Plot To Get Revenge On Homelander
Vought's motive behind the Homelander clone plan has always been questionable. However, The Boys season 3 on Amazon Prime presents an ideal scenario for Vought to execute it. After Homelander initiates a corporate mutiny against Stan Edgar, leading to his removal from the company, it becomes evident that Edgar, who still maintains strong connections with Vought, could be the mastermind behind the Homelander clone plan. By utilizing a Homelander clone, Edgar can exact revenge on Homelander and regain his influential position within Amazon Prime's The Boys.
2 An Older Ryan Could Replace Homelander
1 One Of Gen V's Supes Could Be The Homelander Clone
Taking a slight detour from the expected twist, The Boys, available on Amazon Prime, has the potential to explore an intriguing storyline involving Ryan. As the offspring of Homelander, Ryan possesses a strikingly similar set of powers to his formidable father. Compounding this connection is the evident admiration Ryan holds for his influential patriarch, as evident in the concluding moments of The Boys season 3. Consequently, it is not implausible to speculate that Ryan could become a willing participant in Vought's agenda. Looking ahead, Vought could conceivably exploit an older and more seasoned Ryan as a replacement for, or even an assassin of, the mighty Homelander, thereby setting the stage for an epic father-son showdown of epic proportions.
A more thrilling approach to execute the Homelander surprise would involve selecting one of the supes from the spin-off series Gen V as the clone of Homelander. Gen V will center around Godolkin University, a supe college operated by Vought, which will feature supes unique to the Amazon Prime universe. Among the students of Godolkin University, any one of them could be a clone, especially Golden Boy who already possesses powers and resembles Homelander in appearance. This would seamlessly connect Gen V and The Boys while bringing to life Homelander's renowned comic book twist.
