If Young Homelander Was Raised By Soldier Boy | The Boys Season 4

[@Mysticinvestigations]

All we know for sure is that Homelander wouldn't be wearing a cape if Soldier Boy had raised him.

[@HawkknightXC88]

He probably be different in a good way since Soldier Boy would be there for him as a father but also bad because of Soldier's Boy influence from his dark past with his father.

[@BlitzAce-pj9jr]

Different in a good way is too soft for soldier boy raising homelander, I mean with how season 3 gave us a good visual on his personality he would just make him worse than homelander already is

[@prod.superior5434]

@@BlitzAce-pj9jrHomelander definitely wouldn’t have been worse. A big part of why he’s evil is because he was raised with zero love and basically treated as a complete experiment. Almost Everything he learned in life was from being forced to sit in a white room and watch videos on repeat to “mold” his personality. And despite this, he actually tried to be a hero at first until he snapped. Him having family would delete most aspects of evilness he has

[@jennix8666]

​@@BlitzAce-pj9jr Idk, becoming a parent changes some people some for the good and some not. I want to think that Once Solider Boy had found out about Homelander much earlier then he did something would have changed in him. Maybe he'd have seen it as an opportunity to not be like his own father and be a good father to his son.... That being said thers also the possibility he wouldn't have seeing as that his entire team plotted behind his back to get him out of the way. That tells me he wasn't a very good person to start with and he may not have made the effort to change for his child

[@emperorlokire7648]

@@koleszgdanska7149Few? I feel like it’s the majority. Anyway I think having any parental figure would have been massively better than isolation. Not only that but a lot of Soldier boy’s problems might be fixed by having to put the hero gig on the side to raise Homelander.

[@HolyknightVader999]

The good news is that Homelander raised by Soldier Boy would be emotionally and psychologically stable due to having a parent to look up to, a parent who would treat him like a son. The bad news is that parent is Soldier Boy, a ruthless, calculating killer who has no problems killing the innocent to get the job done. He's also a great CQC fighter, so on top of raising Homelander to be a ruthless son of a bitch like him, Soldier Boy would likely pass down his expertise in CQC to his son. So the end result is that Homelander would be more psychologically and emotionally stable, but also more effective in CQC due to being trained by a great CQC fighter. He would also be just as ruthless as his father. In short, imagine Homelander now, but without the laziness or the psychological/emotional weaknesses. He'd be able to save everyone on that plane that wound up crashing in the show, but he also would not fear Stan Edgar and he'd be more sure of himself and more willing to take risks since that's what his dad would teach him. Since he's the son of the first American superhero, Homelander would be more emotionally positive about his identity, and more willing to embrace it, instead of having a crisis of conscience like he did in the show thanks to Vought's haphazard upgringing of him.

Wouldn’t it make more sense that crimson countess raising homelander since soldier boy and crimson countess were going together

[@leemastro9904]

There still might be an element of incest. Soldier Boy was hooking up with Stormfront. I think he even said that they started the Herogasm tradition. She was also heavily involved with V experimentation, basically running the research facility, with Lamplighter as her underling. It’s not too much of a stretch to think that, wanting a better, super-supe, Vought would have combined her eggs with Soldier Boy’s sperm. It would explain Homelander’s powers. Strength, and toughness, from Soldier Boy, flight, and energy projection, from the Stormfront. His speed, and superior senses, could come from them, from abilities not specifically mentioned, on the show, or could be the result of combining all of the genes, of both parents, creating something entirely new. This would put a much darker spin on her actions, and would, almost certainly, drive Homelander into a full blown mental breakdown, when he found out. Anyway, it’s just a thought.

[@bgt2848]

I have to completely disagree here. Soulja Boy even stated he was convinced he could do it better than his dad. Stated he wanted kids for that very reason. I honestly believe if soldier boy raised him, he would’ve had issues, but he would’ve been raised to be everything soldier boy wanted to be. He would’ve raised him off the persona he wanted him to achieve.

[@BMaster2119]

He would have more regard for human life if soldier boy raised him, still egotistical and arrogant, but less likely to just laser someone out of nowhere

I don’t think Vought would be as profitable if they kept soldier boy as his recklessness would have only grown. And soldier boy loves the spotlight too much to retire. It’s why he stayed in it long passed his prime. This would greatly impact public perception of supes.

[@CorporealNatural1]

He literally said he would have let homelander take the spotlight. The main reason vought did not want Soldier Boy around because they wanted to run tests on young Homelander

[@jaehparrk]

imagine john winchester type of father figure

[@FIoridaMilkMan]

Omelandah wouldve been better IMO, yeah Soldier Boy was a bad person, but his father was bad, so he might've tried harder to be a father. I had a horrible father, and i use that experience to be a better person. But i still had a father. He still sometimes treated me as a human. Growing up in a lab he wasnt even treated as a person. He was a weapon. If Soldier Boy was a father to him, he'd at least have that. Plus he'd have some sort of mother figure im guessing, i doubt Soldier Boy would've stayed single

[@HopeReviews]

It's possible that he could've turned out normal, I love these what if scenarios wouldn't mind seeing more videos like this.

[@chadbinette3201]

Soldier boy said he wanted kids cause he thought he could do it better than his father. But it probably would of been ok till homelander got stronger and decided not to take discipline. Also who knows what soldier boy would of been like if not sold out and experimented on for years . Would of still been sexist and whatnot but maybe more acceptable to hans in general. Both wack jobs but also both victims of their raising and vought .

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

It's a 50/50-coin flip. If Soldier Boy really raised Homelander, he probably wouldn't be as discriminative towards everyone. But I can see Solider Boy's influence on Homelander have an exacerbating effect on his misogyny.

[@damianstarks3338]

This Boys what if is perfect

[@Foxster_13]

I get that Soldier boy isn't the perfect guy, but I do believe that he could have had a positive effect regardless of Soldier Boy being a good or bad father, for this I look to my own father's upbringing as I'm told that he had a bad upbringing to a point where my father doesn't even talk about and has cut off most of his family apart from his sister/my aunt. Yet, despite his own father being abusive, mine has never laid a hand on me or been verbally abuseive towards me and made sure that my brother and I have lived good lives so far. I'm not saying that this would be the outcome whether Soldier Boy was a good father or not, but it proves that sons don't always follow their father's footsteps and for all we know Homelander could have had the best upbringing a child could have and still become who he is, sure it is unlikely but it still can happen. I do enjoy going into stuff like this as despite the Boys being a more depraved version of heroes we love, we still want to see alternative timelines where even the Boys can have happier moments.

Homelander would have been even worse than he is now if Soldier Boy had raised him. The way Homlander was raised left psychological and metal scars on him that have broken him mentally and turned him into a mentally broken person. If he were raised by a soldier boy, he would probably have physical and mental health scars. It's more likely he would have turned out to be a worse version of Butcher, and that could have been worse without good friends or a good girlfriend directing him down a good path, but even good friends can't fix all his problems, and that's something we see in Butcher, who puts his goals above anything else. The truth is, because of his powers, he would always have vought around, even if a soldier boy raised him, and they would find a way to manipulate him into a bad path, so it's more likely he would have turned out bad either way. Also likely, SB would've passed on all of his outdated world views, prejudices, and racism and reinforced even more so into HL that he's unstoppable so he can do whatever he wants, which is worse. A version of Homelander who doesn't need people's love or admiration would be more dangerous and stronger than the current Homelander, he would be more arrogant, cold, and determined, and his superiority complex would curb his empathy, which would contribute to a ruthless attitude. While his methods of violence would be more extreme but he firmly believes that they are justified. It's more likely he would eventually turn into a dictator on a faster path than the current Homelander.

[@Legen855]

Nah not really Soldier boy himself said that he would actually let homelander take the spotlight if he raised him The old guy himself said that homelander should’ve had a parental figure to not be turned into this Even if soldier boy is a douchbag he would still go soft on homelander since he’s his son(if homelander has a soft spot for Ryan so can soldier boy) His views would actually make homelander to turn for the better since he won’t be brainwashed by vought into making him think all about america and himself while soldier boy fought with Allies from other countries so would just tell him stories that will make him selfless and a Superman type figure Plus vought won’t try to take out soldier boy when homelander has a connection with him It will actually make him kinda wholesome

[@AlukardTheDeathknight]

Homelander be wearing a pretty dope looking outfit instead a mixture of America and Soldier Boy's armour with no cape.

[@EatRick]

He would be like A-Train if he was raised by Soldier Boy, he wouldn’t be a vile monster with zero redeemable qualities but he would definitely look at his dad throwing cars through houses to stop criminals and imitate that behavior. Ultimately he would still be a danger to everyone around him and would only care about the people close to him while everyone else is either collateral damage or an adoring fan.

[@Chosen9038]

Considering how sensitivity homelander is. I think soldier boy would hate him. Since he see's emotions as "pussy" since soldier boy is the epiphany of "macho" behavior.

[@jorgeet3049]

Blud, ofc he would be better with soldier boy as his father, he literally said that to Homelander and wanted his son to be better than him …

[@EditsAnimations]

İ would like to imagine that Soldier Boy raising Homelander could help Soldier boy come over his past trauma and start to grow into a good person like what happend to Piccolo & Gohan. This intern would mean that Homelander would grow up to be more of a Superman type of hero and the start might be bit weird and rough but the rest of Homelanders life growing up would be very nice.

[@thalasowo3373]

If Iohn was raised by Soldier Boy, he wouldn't even be Homelander. He would be Lucas Hood. Lucas Hood's backstory isn't really that explored other than the fact that he was just a former CIA agent. Maybe we can give a little fun headcanon twist. In the show Banshee, the only reason why Lucas became a cop was because he wasn't even the real "Lucas Hood," he just saw some wallet down the street one day and took it. On the topic of Soldier Boy raising John, I think he would be emotionally distant. The only time he will ever have some bonding time with John is when he is beating him up for training purposes because he's paranoid that Vought might come anytime. I think he would also drill it into John's head to never trust Vought or any of those superhero bs on TV. Meanwhile, John would grow up, and he's a whole lot like Butcher. He only became Lucas Hood because he pick-pocketed some guy, and then he became a cop who is secretly a Supe. I think John/"Lucas" would find Homelander atrocious, and Homelander would be incredibly jealous because he has his father all his life while he didn't.

The thing about soldier boy is that yes he’s a asshole but think about how when he joined the boys, he started softening up a little. Even just slightly. Soldier not clearly desired companionship. I mean, why else would he be so emotionally vulnerable to butcher, someone who he could identify with. Soldier boy recounting how much he wanted a son too. It was very genuine and he was probably on the verge of tears admitting it. The problem wasn’t Homelander being a “disappointment” and taking after his father. It’s that Homelander was a genuinely disgusting person. And Butcher probably drilled that in. Soldier boy also was on a mission. He tried his best to be a soldier and push away his feelings. Homelander being a terrible waste of air makes it easier to do so. Even if Homelander was trauma dumping onto him. I’d say overall, soldier boy would’ve been a good influence in Homelander. Like having a son would’ve probably made soldier boy clean up some of his degenerative tendencies. I don’t think he’d change his world views of the current American culture. But that wouldn’t matter since soldier boy at least claims he’d be present and “do it better” than his father
