He already shoots spray on hair from his finger tips.
Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers?

The only thing stopping Homelander from going on a rampage, killing tens of thousands of people and seizing control of the world is that he cares what people think about him. He wants to be loved, not feared.
He kills innocent people but he does it discreetly or when it looks like he can justify his actions.
But can you imagine an absolute piece of shit like Stephen Miller getting super powers? He’d be far, far worse.

This is one of the only issues I have with the show… Homelander’s leash appears to be super hamfisted in, or in general it makes little sense why corporate has so much control with so little relative power. Lots of people in that world have powers, and it would be total anarchic chaos in reality.

Isn’t that like his entire arc? He slowly realizes his leash is only as strong as he believes it to be

In the comics Vaught does have a real fail-safe against Homelander.

They haven’t told us yet how Vought controls Homelander.

They’ve reiterated over and over again. They’ve even explained it very explicitly in the episode where he went down to the lab where he was kept. He needs to feel loved. I don’t know how you’ve missed such a main plot line.

Idk, I can see a combination of nature and nurture bringing out those narcissistic qualities as a way to control a super powered child I can see it being fairly accurate.
