Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers?

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.

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

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.

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.
