The Boys Season 3, Episode 4’s Ending Proves Soldier Boy CAN Kill Homelander
WARNING: Spoilers ahead for The Boys season 3, episode 4
Butcher may be leaving Russia empty-handed, but The Boys season 3 proves Homelander CAN now be killed. Homelander doesn't have friends in The Boys - just people who hate him, people who fear him, and people who don't know him. At the end of The Boys season 2, those in the first camp (Butcher, Maeve, Starlight, Hughie, etc.) successfully blackmailed their nemesis into being less… Homelander-y. A year of peace ensued, but now Homelander is worse than ever. A very public outburst in the aftermath of Stormfront's death has restored the fallen hero's popularity, and now he's rolling around Seven tower like he owns the place — which, effectively, he does.
Billy Butcher and Queen Maeve quickly surmise that killing Homelander is their only option, but bumping off the world's most powerful supe is considerably easier plotted than done. Fortuitously, Queen Maeve presents a promising lead — a secret Russian weapon that supposedly killed Soldier Boy in Nicaragua. Whatever «BCL RED» might be, it took down a superhero almost as tough as Homelander, and if the Boys can find it, everyone will finally be free (in theory).

The Boys season 3's «Glorious Five Year Plan» demonstrates precisely how Homelander can be killed.
