Ever since The Boys exploded onto screens, one question has haunted fans louder than any Supe-level catastrophe: who can actually kill Homelander? And now, with the fifth and final season spiralling toward its finale, the chaos has only intensified. As the long-brewing war between Billy Butcher and Homelander enters its apocalyptic final stretch, theories have completely taken over the fandom, especially after episode 6 changed the game forever.

So who exactly stands the best chance of taking Homelander down before The Boys reaches its bloody end?

The chaos inside The Boys spiralled into pure nightmare on May 6, when Episode 6 pushed Homelander deeper into near-godhood. After injecting himself with V1 supplied by Soldier Boy and Bombsight, Homelander seemingly rendered himself immune to the Supe virus recreated by Frenchie. Already a walking catastrophe, the Supe now stands frighteningly close to full immortality. Yet amid that terrifying evolution, the episode also dropped one chilling possibility: someone may still possess the firepower to erase him for good. And among the blood-soaked trail of enemies surrounding Homelander, Soldier Boy continues to loom as the deadliest threat, capable of ending his reign.

For years, Billy Butcher and the gang have hurled everything imaginable at Homelander, from explosive ambushes to unstable Supe alliances. But the battlefield changed completely the moment Soldier Boy entered Season 3, who likely had the upper hand since he had shown real combat skills. However, although Ryan shattered Butcher’s original plan back in Season 3, Soldier Boy still remains Homelander’s most dangerous weakness. Episode 6 brutally proved it again after Soldier Boy unleashed the same blast on Bombsight, instantly wiping away both his V1 immortality and powers.

While fans still wait to witness what brutal fate ultimately awaits Homelander, The Boys keeps tightening its grip on audiences with relentless chaos and massive success.

Premiering on Prime Video on April 8, 2026, The Boys Season 5 has completely detonated across streaming charts, becoming Amazon’s most-watched title worldwide within its first 24 hours. Continuing the franchise’s unstoppable rise, the final season also outpaced Season 4’s premiere audience, which itself had marked a massive 21% jump from Season 3, proving the Supe-fuelled madness has only tightened its grip on audiences. Adding even more fuel to the frenzy, the season also delivers a long-awaited Supernatural reunion while introducing Daveed Diggs as a major new addition to the chaos.

The final war also brings back nearly every major player across the blood-soaked universe, including Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Chace Crawford, Jessie T. Usher, Jensen Ackles, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The wider Vought universe also crashes into the season through Gen V crossovers, celebrity cameos from Seth Rogen, Kumail Nanjiani, and Will Forte, while future spin-offs like Vought Rising ensure the franchise’s twisted legacy is far from over.

While the most anticipated card still remains hidden within the final two episodes, Homelander’s fate continues to hang dangerously in the balance, exactly the kind of brutal uncertainty The Boys has always thrived on through its endless twists and blood-soaked turns.
