Description
The Homelander:Real name John. Leader of the Seven, and the first superhuman created by Vought-American; his cover story is being an alien landing in the United States as an infant. His true origins are that he was in fact grown by Vought-American in a hidden facility until the company was certain he could be controlled. The source of his DNA, revealed in Issue 65, was taken from Stormfront. Powers include heat vision, which he uses to keep the junior members in line, super strength, durability, flight and enhanced vocal cords, which are able to rupture the eardrums of non-superpowered people when brought to a yelling pitch (in issue 21). He is strong enough to crush steel with his bare hands, lift and throw a fighter jet with one hand and literally tear normal human beings apart. Homelander's heat vision is powerful enough to bring down a passenger jet. His powers, abilities, costume and position in the team have similarities to those of Superman, although his codename is more reminiscent of patriotic heroes such as Captain America. His costume's shoulder ornament is an eagle, similar to that of Judge Dredd, a character Ennis had earlier worked on. It is implied in #20 that he may be the "big boy" who raped Butcher's wife; while listening to Butcher's heartbeat as an indicator, he plays a "hot/cold" guessing game, trying to narrow down who he harmed to inspire Butcher's loathing, and decides on "wife", although this only implies that Butcher believes Homelander is the man who raped his wife, not necessarily that Homelander did so. Homelander's mistakes and poor leadership during the 9/11 attacks were primarily responsible for the destruction of the Brooklyn Bridge and the death of Mister Marathon.

The Homelander also ages at a much slower rate than a human; he is approximately sixty years old, but appears to be a man in his thirties. Stormfront possessed a similar ability, retaining the appearance and vitality of a man in his prime while over seventy years old.

Homelander is incredibly arrogant, often leading him to commit crimes against innocent people (including destroying a passenger jet while nude and tricking Soldier Boy into a gay encounter for Seven membership), believing, not unreasonably, that he can do anything he wants because of who he is. Despite his powers, he is beholden to Vought-American; in Herogasm #3 Jack stated that Homelander has given everyone a speech about not to mess around in front of the company because of how much of their lifestyle is dependent on V-A's money. However, in Herogasm #5, he tried to reveal at an awards ceremony that he had destroyed the plane "because it occurred to me" and encourage the other superheroes to realise they can do what they want; he instantly stopped, showing fear, when he saw the Executive was listening. Since then, he's shown increasing anger and frustration—he almost incinerated the Seven's V-A Executive in #31, stopping himself at the last moment, and blew off concerns about money as something beneath him in #33 (worrying A-Train and Jack). #40 would also reveal, via photos Butcher had sent to him and with which Butcher blackmails VA, that the Homelander has once gleefully taken part in murder, rape (including "raping a baby in half"), cannibalism and possibly necrophilia; Vought-American believe this was a one-time event and won't be repeated, though they're aware of how hard it would be to stop the Homelander if this wasn't the case.

In issue #49 Mallory reveals that they still do not know who originally took the photos and sent them to the CIA.

In #43, he mused that it was time he "started" doing whatever he wanted, indicating that his crimes to date are only the tip of the iceberg.

In #49, the Homelander is seen arguing with his own reflection. During this incident, it is revealed that he cannot remember committing the atrocities in the photographs the Boys had sent him. This incident implies that the Homelander may be a schizophrenic and may even have sent the photographs to the CIA himself. He also cannot remember raping Butcher's wife; in fact, he earlier told Starlight that he had never forced himself on a woman in his life, although he has no hesitation in taking private pride in his many murders. Later, in #62, after showing great pride in his own scheming, he experiences violent nausea and self-doubt, suggesting further fractures within his mind and body.

Starting from Herogasm, an increasingly disgruntled Homelander prepares to carry out a plan of his own to let himself cut loose: the end of this "conversation" in #49, the Homelander states that once he has carried out his plan it will no longer matter if Butchers sends the photographs to the Media because at that point, "I'll be king of Hell". He first tries (but fails) to draft all the other superhumans at Herogasm, but later, at the Believe convention (#47), he organises a meeting with a large number of superheroes and lays out his plan. In #60-3, he sacrifices a D-list team to make the Boys think V-A is targeting them and to start a conflict, at which point he orders the superheroes to begin a coup against the US government - they believe they're doing it on behalf of Vought and Vic the Veep.

He initially feels sick at what he's done, but in #63 shows glee at the fact he can finally cut loose. He takes the chance to finally attack Maeve and brutally kills her. At the same time, Butcher releases the photos of him to "every channel an' every website".

During the Superhero Coup, Homelander arrives at the White House and kills everyone inside, including Vic the Veep. Butcher arrives to confront and kill him, but the two are interrupted by Black Noir. Noir reveals that he physically resembles the Homelander, and that it was he that carried out the rapes and murders documented in the photos he sent to Butcher. The Homelander is shocked and disgusted, realizing that he never did commit the atrocities he was credited with performing, and claiming that he would never have gone on to commit his own acts, such as destroying a passenger aircraft, if he had not thought himself already guilt of commiting such acts. Butcher would subsequently say that, "It means you turned into a fuckin' pyschopath by mistake."

Outraged, Homelander attacks the even more powerful Black Noir, who proceeds to tear him apart. Homelander does inflict serious damage on Noir, destroying the right side of his face, severing an arm and tearing open his stomach.

Captain Hero:A Sociopathic, chauvinistic, perverted, antiheroic, heteroflexible, and lecherous parody of Superman (and other superheroes), with a visual style taken from the cartoons of Bruce Timm and Max Fleischer. Most of his humor revolves around his perverse sexual tastes, his tendency toward violence, or his stupidity; there is also a running joke in which he is heavily suggested to be pansexual and interested in necrophilia. Among reality TV archetypes, he represents the macho egotist. He is voiced by Jess Harnell. In original artwork before the show's release, Captain Hero wore tights, and his suit was slightly darker in color and had a different symbol on it. Of all the housemates, Captain Hero saw the most character development over the series. In the first season, Hero was a simple character with a fairly minor role on the show; he was introduced in the first episode as simply "another person in the house", and as Harnell puts it, his personality was that of an "overgrown frat guy" whose libido was his main source of humor. Over time, however, he grew considerably more complex; consequently, his role was expanded to the point where he became the most frequently used on the show. "The Other Cousin" was the first episode to focus on Hero, but it was the second season episode "Little Orphan Hero" that proved to be a major turning point for the character. In the episode, Hero, after suffering a nervous breakdown, meets his parents for the first time and sees many long-dormant emotional issues rise to the surface. Subsequent episodes would expand on these developments. By the time of "A Very Special Drawn Together Afterschool Special", it seemed perfectly natural for Hero to be cast in the role of the sensitive and caring (if overly emotional) nurturer. Captain Hero has not been seen doing many activities commonly associated with superheroes. He has an "arch nemesis" who is a parody of Lex Luthor, whose "villainous" activity always involves tricking Hero into washing his testicles in which he says each time "you bolls are clean". He is able to fly (although many jokes involve him not using that ability or it not working as expected) and punch through walls, laser vision (which he used in very few episodes), and once used his "Hero shield" (which involved using an innocent woman to shield himself from bullets). Despite his questionable abilities as a superhero, the world has seemingly been very dependent on Captain Hero to save the day, as it is a common sight to see news reports on disasters and the comment "Captain Hero, where are you?!" According to Harnell, Hero's most recognizable line is “save yourselves!” When ever there is trouble, he takes off and leaves those who he had left behind to die.
