The Boys season 4 post-credits sequence introduces a potential new recruit to Homelander&#8217;s Supe army, which might render them nearly unbeatable.
Throughout The Boys, Homelander has progressively embraced a Supes superiority complex, which completely developed around season 4. With Vought under his leadership and several dangerous Supes joining Homelander&#8217;s Supe army, the villain is more ambitious and vicious than ever. Homelander has now virtually taken over the United States without the need for an actual coup, thanks to Sister Sage and her broad plans to bring down society.

Homelander&#8217;s increasing army of Supes plays a role in the season 4 finale, as the final minutes of the episode indicate how some of the allies he&#8217;s been able to recruit from The Boys and Gen V are already working toward his aims. However, the most striking (and personal) comeback occurs after the credits. The sequence centers on Homelander locating a powerful Supe who was dealt with in a previous season but remains one of the show&#8217;s most potent wildcards. However, if he is recruited by Homelander, he might turn season 5 of The Boys into a massacre.
<h3>Soldier Boy&#8217;s Return In The Boys Season 4&#8217;s Post Credits Teases A Homelander Team-Up</h3>
Homelander May Have Finally Made Soldier Boy Proud

The post-credits teaser from The Boys season 4 finale foreshadows the return of Jensen Ackles&#8217; Soldier Boy in season 5. Soldier Boy, introduced in season 3 of The Boys and playing a key role in that year of the show, served as Homelander&#8217;s predecessor as Vought International&#8217;s premier superhero. He is also Homelander&#8217;s father, albeit by artificial methods. Soldier Boy is a powerful Supe with the capacity to neutralize the powers of others, making him one of the few persons capable of defeating Homelander. However, Butcher sacrificed his chance to do exactly that to save Ryan.

As a result of Soldier Boy&#8217;s defeat and recapture, Mallory and the government placed him on suspension. However, following the events of &#8220;Assassination Run,&#8221; Mallory has died, and Homelander has virtually taken over the government. Among his finds is Soldier Boy&#8217;s location, with the post-credits sequence concentrating on Homelander&#8217;s search for his father. Given their previous interaction, it wouldn&#8217;t be shocking if the violent Homelander attempted to 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 him. However, given his newfound prestige and influence, the egotistical and chronically hungry Homelander may perceive this as an opportunity to seek validation from the parent he never knew.
<h3>Soldier Boy Could Be A Major Wildcard In Season 5</h3>

Awakening Soldier Boy could also quietly be a huge risk for Homelander&#8217;s plans, given how their last encounter played out. Although the two acknowledged one another as father and son after coming to blows, Homelander&#8217;s attempt to reach out to him only prompted Soldier Boy to lament how pathetic he&#8217;d become. A revived Soldier Boy could easily still believe that, deciding Homelander&#8217;s dream of a Supe-dominated world reeks of desperation. While his military service was called into question, Soldier Boy may have enough loyalty to the United States that he could perceive Homelander&#8217;s takeover of the government as an insult.
Given how their first encounter ended, awakening Soldier Boy could be a major risk to Homelander&#8217;s intentions. After coming to blows, the two acknowledged each other as father and son, but Homelander&#8217;s attempt to contact him only made Soldier Boy bemoan how pathetic he&#8217;d become. A revived Soldier Boy could easily believe such, dismissing Homelander&#8217;s goal of a Supe-dominated world as desperate. While his military service was put into doubt, Soldier Boy may be so committed to the United States that he sees Homelander&#8217;s seizure of the government as an insult.
<h3>Homelander &amp; Soldier Boy Working Together Would Be Near-Unbeatable</h3>

If Homelander revives Soldier Boy and is able to convince him to join his Supes superiority cause, then the villain may have gained the single most effective ally ever. Soldier Boy&#8217;s abilities make him more than capable of going head-to-head with any enemies the Supe conspiracy comes up against. Even other Supes wouldn&#8217;t post him much of a challenge, especially if he could control his power-negating blasts. While this makes him potentially one of the only genuine threats to Homelander in the world of The Boys, the villain may see the strategic and personal benefits of having Soldier Boy around.

Soldier Boy&#8217;s anticipated reappearance in Season 5 could lead to a fatal encounter between the former &#8220;hero&#8221; and MM. As shown in season 3, Soldier Boy, who nonchalantly threw a car into MM&#8217;s family home during a disagreement, had an irreversible impact on them. The deed murdered MM&#8217;s grandfather, and his father eventually worked himself to death attempting to impose penalties on Vought. MM despises Soldier Boy in a way that mirrors Butcher&#8217;s dislike for Homelander. However, in order to bring down Homelander, MM was obliged to make peace with the crew that worked alongside Soldier Boy.
If Soldier Boy returns and becomes allies with Homelander, MM may have the opportunity to finally exact revenge on his family.The Boys&#8217; study of wraith and retribution may be influenced by this, as the season 4 ending emphasizes the cost of abandoning humanity for revenge. Soldier Boy has the capacity to either bring down Homelander or become his most dangerous asset, particularly at this vital juncture in his world&#8217;s future. This highlights the importance of Soldier Boy&#8217;s likely reappearance in season 5 of The Boys.
