Heading into Season 5 of The Boys, Homelander’s influence has become so damaging that not even the most loyal of Supes can ignore it. There’s sure to be an all-out war that sees the franchise’s strongest characters give the leader of The Seven their best shot. Here are four Supes who are officially as powerful as Homelander, including one that will likely beat him in the show’s final season.
4) Harper
Gen V Season 2 has been all about Cipher, the new dean of God U, working closely with his students to unlock their latent potential. He hasn’t done a very good job choosing his pupils, though, because there’s a powerhouse on his campus that he doesn’t give the time of day: Harper. Referring to herself as a “chameleon,” she can copy anybody’s abilities for 30 seconds. Her big moment comes when she borrows Emma Meyer’s powers, but there might be more important tasks in her future.
Harper will have to get close to acquire Homelander’s bag of tricks, but if she pulls it off, she can teach the unhinged Supe a lesson. After all, Homelander has done some pretty gnarly stuff in well under half a minute. While Harper may lose some of her humanity in the process, her friends can help her get it back once the coast is clear.
3) Marie Moreau
The Supe that Cipher has been keeping his eye on is Marie Moreau, who can control blood. Most people view the power as disgusting, as it manipulates something that has no business being manipulated. However, Cipher, who is responsible for Marie’s creation as part of Project Odessa, sees her as the world’s savior, someone who can use her abilities to heal rather than destroy.
After Marie’s upgrade in Gen V Season 2, she can stop powerful Supes dead in their tracks and probably kill them. She’s yet to take that first step down the dark path, but it’s only a matter of time before she does because the world around her is cruel and unfair. Once Marie is done playing nice, she can turn her attention to Homleander, another Project Odessa success story, and help save the world.
