Here it is… the final part of my Jack From Jupiter post, not only does this cover the series finale, it gives a few fixes to said finale.

Series Finale - Blood And Bone

In my headcanon re-take, the episode starts with Jack From Jupiter having visions of Homelander going on a warfare against humanity in order to cull those he deems unbelievers, with his voice saying this…

Homelander: No matter what I do… some of you people will never accept me into your hearts… never love me… never believe in me… and to such heretics… I offer oblivion… and those who seek to destroy me… you will die the most horrible of deaths, as befits your wickedness. My reign will last forever & when this world is cold… and dead… I shall remain… eternal… God Of The Ashes.

After this vision, we cut to Frenchie’s funeral. Later on, Jack joins The Boys in infiltrating the White House through a secret entrance in some underground tunnels… and while Jack tries his best to destroy as many surveillance equipment in the entrance as discreetly as possible with his psychic powers, even HE fails to anticipate a trap laid for the group… a trap room meant to disorient intruders (especially enemy Supes) with sonic vibrations before shooting them dead… a trap that manages to keep Jack From Jupiter’s Carpo Barrier from activating… a trap that the group is only able to escape from with their lives thanks to Ashley Barrett managing to find them (after being guided by her second face on the back of her head), & free them, seeing them as the only hope of stopping Homelander before he goes too far. Once the group gets into the White House, Starlight opts to take care of The Deep while the rest of the group is left to deal with Oh Father, who takes time to explain himself to Jack when he confronts him over his past relationship with Starlight… that’s when the shocking truth about Oh Father is revealed…

Once upon a time, Aaron was once a genuine devout man of the cloth, who started preaching when he was only nine years old in a tent in the middle of nowhere. But over the years, he constantly encountered people in turmoil and hardship pleading with him to pray for them, which he did. But the prayers kept going unanswered, until he stopped believing… things only got worse for Aaron when he discovered that he was an illegitimate child of Jack Daily, also known as Jack From Jupiter… one of several from his previous flings who happened to be an African American… which along with the fact that Jack was born a white man before becoming a metahuman resembling an alien, means that he is half-black (much like the multiracial actor portraying Oh Father, Daveed Diggs).

In my headcanon, Oh Father is primarily a Corrupted Character Copy of Luke Cage, a Marvel hero whose entire persona & name are rooted in Scripture… with Black Bolt’s sonic scream power in addition to the superhuman strength & durability of Luke Cage as well as the same telepathic powers as Martian Manhunter.

The “Death” of the Old Self - In contrast to Carl Lucas being trapped in a dying state and subjected to a brutal experiment in a tank, reflecting the shedding of a sinful, old life, Aaron’s “Death” of the Old Self" was of a passionate, God-fearing preacher who sought to end suffering & spread the Gospel before years of his prayers being ignored gradually eroded his faith with the proverbial “straw that broke the camel’s back” being the discovery of his parentage related to Jack From Jupiter, a known atheist.

Father Vs. Son

The dynamic between Oh Father & Jack From Jupiter is recontextualized as being an estrangement similar to Luke Cage & his father Reverend James Lucas in the MCU… with the kind of dark twist you’d expect from The Boys…

The Mission: Luke Cage’s mission mirrors Luke 4:18-19: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor… to set the oppressed free.” This choice frames his superheroism not just as vigilante justice, but as a spiritual calling to protect the marginalized. For Oh Father, he lost his faith in god & his “Holy Mission” basically boils down to revenge against Jack, whom he blames for his misfortune… and whom better to help him than the Homelander, whom Oh Father wants to present as the new god of the world, simply cause for all his flaws, Homelander is actually present & capable of making real changes to the world.

As Aaron further explains, he did things… specifically he founded the Capes for Christ movement under Vought to mold young children into his faith, occasionally dressing as Jack to mock him… before he was usurped by Ezekiel (who framed him for molesting children in his care) & rendered temporarily blind… but from this blinding came the awakening of his sonic scream (inherited from his mother) & telepathy that can match his father Jack From Jupiter. From there, Oh Father worked to build himself back from the ground up while taking full advantage of unexpected variables messing up Jack’s strategies with the goal of taking down Jack before he can fulfill his secret plan that he’s been working on from behind the scenes since Homelander’s public debut… The Anti-Odessa Contingency, meant to counteract & destroy Homelander should he go too far off the deep end. All of this because Oh Father hated the fact that he was the son of an alien-looking supe atheist.

With that, Jack & Oh Father clash with their telepathy, with Of Father having the upper hand until Hughie shoots a nearby ANSUL IGS-300 to create a smokescreen so Hughie can pose as Butcher to divert Oh Father’s attention. Hughie, M.M., & Jack quickly get cornered by Oh Father, who quotes Judge Claude Frollo.

Oh Father: And he shall smite the wicked & plunge them… INTO THE FIERY PIT!!!

Yelling that last part out loud with his sonic scream, Aaron manages to bypass Jack’s Carpo Barrier & severely wound him while he’s trying to protect Hughie. Jack begins to regenerate to which Aaron responds…

Oh Father: Oh… ho! V1 must’ve given you regenerative powers to compliment your Soldier Boy-level immortality… Let’s see you regenerate from this!.. Father!

As Oh Father begins to charge a sonic scream to finish off Jack & Hughie, M.M. manages to sneak up behind & plug up his mouth with a “little gift” from Annie… A ball gag custom made from turbine-grade titanium, the straps are re-inforced ballistic kevlar, no matter how much Of Father is “defiled” the ball gag won’t explode from Oh Father’s sonic scream. Unfortunately for Oh Father, using his sonic scream offensively with this ball gag plugging up his mouth is NOT a good idea… and the normally immune to his own power supe goes the way of Black Bolt in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness… a sonic scream redirected into his skull that causes his head to explode.

Once Jack is fully regenerated, he immediately joins the final battle against Homelander alongside Ryan, which pretty much plays the same as in the official finale… only with more bloodshed, especially from Ryan to Homelander, especially the finale when Kimiko manages to blast everyone else with Soldier Boy’s power… Jack From Jupiter attacking Homelander with his psychic powers manages to prevent Homelander from quickly bursting out of the room like he did in the first attempt to de-power him… and he ends up losing his powers, Butcher loses his Humanoid Abomination status, Ryan isn’t clarified as having lost his powers (even I’m not sure if he could easily be de-powered due to being a natural-born supe rather than being infused with Compund V)… Homelander is effectively rendered powerless… reduced to a mere mortal pleading for his life like the pathetic coward he is before Butcher impales him in the head with a crowbar, pops his skull cap open, grabs his brain, & crushes it with his bare hands.

Butcher: Diabolical

Even though he has managed to give Vought a black eye by toppling Homelander, the death of his dog Terror & Ryan rejecting him has left him with nothing left but to commit to releasing the Godolkin virus in order to wipe out Vought & its supes… and knowing this, Jack guides Hughie in the right direction to help him get to Vought Tower to stop Butcher in his tracks.

Despite Homelander’s death, the war is far from over… as long as Vought still stands as corrupt as ever, they’re gonna keep making fraudulent heroes… and unless something is done about it, it’s only a matter of time before a supe becomes the next Soldier Boy, the next Homelander… something Jack From Jupiter knows all too well… after a few months of reflecting his horrible experience with Oh Father & how a once Good Shepherd went so far astray because of having been born from himself, Jack decides to convert to Christianity, becoming the new head of Capes for Christ & starting his reign by working to clean up the mess Homelander & Vought left behind while playing a role in bringing about a new generation of superheroes… real superheroes.
