Even though The Boys Season 4 is one of the most-watched shows on Amazon Prime Video, it does come up with some disturbing things. Season 4 ran for eight episodes, during which Homelander devised a plan that may be the darkest we have seen in The Boys.
Homelander Builds an Army of Supes
In Season 4, we learn that Homelander is tired of being a celebrity. Instead, he gathers all the supes, including Sam and Cate Dunlap from Gen V. He tells them they will no longer be adored but will act as “wrathful Gods.” In Episode 6, A-Train informs Mother's Milk about Homelander’s intentions to build an army of supes. This raises the question: Why does Homelander want to do this?
Homelander's shift from celebrity to tyrant reflects a deeper need for control. His desire to gather supes under his command signifies a quest for power. This transformation could lead to devastating consequences for both the supes and the general population.
Tek Knight’s Diabolical Plan of Internment Camps
In Episode 6 of The Boys Season 4, when Annie, Kimiko, and Hughie capture Tek Knight, he reveals that The Seven intends to use his private prisons as “Internment Camps.” These camps are essentially concentration camps, a dark chapter in human history.
Homelander plans to use these camps to detain those who defy his authority, including supes unwilling to follow his lead. This strategy raises questions about how he will implement such a terrifying plan in a society that values freedom.
Steven Calhoun Is Homelander’s Puppet
Victoria Neuman's brutal murder at the hands of Butcher in the season finale disrupted Homelander’s plans to enforce the 25th Amendment Act. With Robert Singer out of the picture and Neuman dead, Steven Calhoun becomes the President of the United States, collaborating with Homelander and effectively giving him control over the supes.
Even though Calhoun appears to be the official president, Homelander's grip on the USA is undeniable. This dynamic sets the stage for future conflicts and reveals the extent of Homelander’s influence.
Audiences will see hints of this power shift in Gen V Season 2, set to release in 2025. Ultimately, the storyline will culminate in The Boys Season 5, expected to premiere in mid-2026, leaving fans eager to see how these developments unfold.
