President Homelander In The Boys Season 4 Looks Way More Likely Thanks To Gen V

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Gen V Episode 7 and the Boys Comics! Following some intriguing developments in Gen V, the idea of Homelander becoming the President seems increasingly plausible. During her interview with Cameron Coleman in Gen V Episode 7, Victoria Newman claims that she wants to give Supes a seat at the table in US politics. While she's likely talking about her secret super self, could she have an even bigger plan for Homelander? After initially portraying Newman as an anti-Supe activist, the Boys confirmed that she is actually a Supe herself, who has been pulling many strings from behind the scenes to rise up the ranks. She even struck a deal with Homelander in The Boys Season 3, giving him Ryan's whereabouts in return for him getting Robert Singer's running mate out of the way. They've got that transactional relationship, and Newman getting rid of Stan Edgar shows she wants Supes in control. So, an eventual replacing of Robert Singer with Homelander would make sense. And it might set up the Boys' comic book ending! In the Boys Comics, Homelander gets so consumed by his hubris that he sets out to initiate a coup by taking out the President. However, little does he realize that Vaught has a secret weapon. It's revealed that Black Noir is Homelander's clone, tasked with the job of disposing of him if he grows too erratic. A final brutal twist reveals that Black Noir posed as Homelander and committed several atrocities, which forced Vaught to call for Homelander's assassination. In a final showdown in the Boys Comics, Black Noir ruthlessly unalived Homelander, while the military took the Supe's supporters. Although the Season 3 developments of Black Noir's arc reduced the likelihood of the show repeating the clone storyline, Homelander's own ego will still likely lead to his downfall in the TV series. If he manages to become the President of the United States, or even comes close to acquiring that much status, it won't be long before his undying lust for power causes his own undoing.
