Does Soldier Boy kill Homelander in The Boys comics? Homelander is scarier than ever in The Boys season 3, but Soldier Boy’s arrival could threaten his power and his life. Homelander has risen to an even deadlier position of power — not only is he the leader of the Seven, but he is also the head of Vought following Stan Edgar’s arrest.

Soldier Boy is just as, if not more, powerful than the unhinged Supe and his return could dethrone him from his seat at the top of the food chain. At the end of The Boys season 3, episode 6, Soldier Boy got really close to killing Homelander, but the Supe managed to escape before any real damage was done.
