Earlier we saw that Homelander's heat vision can damage Stormfront only superficially. She brags about it. Yet his kid fries her.
I've not read the graphic novel(s). Is Homelander's kid, exponentially stronger than he is?
yes I too want to know the answer!!
shareyes, but also its a baby snake analogy. kid doesn't know how to control it yet.
shareThe story is a lot different between the comic and the TV show.
...SPOILERS FOR THE COMIC...
In the comic, Butcher's wife was raped but she didn't go away. Instead, she didn't tell Butcher about the rape or that she was pregnant due to the rape. Butcher was woken up one night to a scene of horror. The premature fetus had burned its way out of Becky and was floating in mid air, and Becky was dead. Butcher freaked out and beat the fetus to death with a table lamp. This led to Mallory recruiting Butcher for The Boys, and Butcher being given Becky's diary and learning about the rape. There's no subplot in the comic with Butcher, Becky, Homelander, Stormfront (a guy in the comic), and a super kid.
The baby with laser beam eyes that Butcher used as a weapon in a Season 1 episode was a nod to the fetus.
That’s very interesting thanks 👍
shareWell, they deliberately didn't show it so we don't know quite what he did. The fact that he tore his mother's neck open would attest to this.
I suspect it will be revealed that he has a different set of powers.
not nessecarily homelands beam would have done the same to a person. I think you are right about a different set of powers but for arguments sake is say his insanely mad frame of mind upped his power too.
