The Boys Season 4 has ended with a massive cliffhanger that has left us all yearning for The Boys Season 5 to drop as soon as possible. The final episode of this season had a massive post-credits scene that legitimately had the fans screaming. The scene shows us that Homelander has found out about Soldier Boy being alive and we get a shot of him in a cryo chamber. This scene has made fans believe that Soldier Boy will be back in Season 5 and might play a role in taking down Homelander. In this article find out if Soldier Boy can kill Homelander in The Boys Season 5.
Soldier Boy Can Drain Homelander of His Powers and Kill Him
The Boys Season 3 made it clear that Soldier Boy can kill Homelander. We get to see that Soldier Boy has developed the power of generating a massive radiation blast that can burn off the Compound V in a supe’s bloodstream, taking away all their powers.
In Season 3, Butcher planned to use Soldier Boy’s radiation blast and kill Homelander but his plan did not exactly work out. So yes, Soldier Boy can drain Homelander of all his powers and easily kill him once he is powerless.
However, showrunner Eric Kripke has revealed that Soldier Boy will go after Butcher instead of Homelander in The Boys Season 5.
Does Soldier Boy Kill Homelander in The Boys Comic
However, it’s really difficult to say that this is what’s going to happen in The Boys Season 5 since The Boys comics had a very different ending and storyline as compared to its TV show counterpart. In the comics, Soldier Boy is the leader of a superhero team called Payback but wants a spot in The Seven. Homelander lies to Soldier Boy that sleeping with him will get Soldier Boy the role he wants and Soldier Boy does it on multiple occasions. They never actually engage in actual combat in The Boys comics.
Even though the show is not exactly following the story of the comics it is heading towards a rather comic-accurate ending where Homelander is killed in a way you’ll never expect and Butcher is killed by someone you will never expect. With that being said, let’s wait for The Boys Season 5 to drop and till then, stay tuned with us for further updates!
