Even moment after being born , the progeny of Black Noir and Becca Butcher demonstrated knock-down heat vision power and the trajectory . It ’s clean-cut that the child inherited the same abilities as Black Noir , and considering just how much more sinewy Black Noir is than Homelander , it ’s not hard to imagine that this child would ’ve also grow to be more knock-down than Homelander .

Her Lust For Violence Would Make Her Dangerous
Of all the members of Billy Butcher ’s crew , the Female has forthwith killed more Supes than any other member of the team . The Female was exposed to Compound V at a young age and was cursed with a bloodlust that drives her to obliterate .
While she does n’t have powers other than raise strength and lastingness , she ’s taken out entire squads that were to the full armed and legion Supes who were arguably more powerful than her .

11Stormfront Has Experience on His Side
Stormfront Was Homelander’s Father, And Had Similar Powers

Butcher ’s program to defeat all Supes on earth involve this very system that Little Nina had discovered . It ’s unlikelyeverySupe rest on Earth had the dirty Compound V in their system , meaning Butcher had a plan to check that they were all affected , such as turn the Compound V into a gas or pose it in the water .

With just a view , Malchemical could turn into a poisonous cloud and choke Homelander or even submerge him . It would require effort and a wad of self - control ( which Malchemical admittedly lacks ) , but it ’s not outside the kingdom of hypothesis for him to kill Homelander .
8Lamplighter Was Taken Out Before He Has His Shot
Lamplighter’s Flame Powers Could Be The Key
Lamplighter is n’t seen much inThe Boys , but back when he was a member of the Seven , he was one of the most dangerous Supes around . Not only did he have sinewy pyrokinetic power , but Lamplighter was also perilously unhinged , even willing to drink down children .
Homelander shows a weakness to flame - based power when he push Black Noir , suggesting that a brawny enough warmth could do him damage . A Lamplighter in his flower could have badly harm Homelander with a hot enough flame , but his early demise forget the true extent of his ability unidentified .
7Crimson Countess Had a Power To Expose Homelander’s Weakness

While she ’s not the original bearer of the form of address , she possesses the same abilities of heat multiplication by emit microwave radiation sickness from her hand .
Though she ’s at long last felled by Billy Butcher , there ’s a prospect Crimson Countess could have beaten Homelander in a fight .

6Team Titanic Have Strength in Numbers
This Superhero Team Could Have What It Takes
The Seven are n’t the only Supe team boast inThe Boys . A parody of the Teen Titans are introduced inThe boy # 61 , and sport a number of surprisingly hefty bomber . Their version of Starfire , a barely cognizant Supe name the Starlike , shoots irradiation of vim that are hot enough to discerp limb in an instant .
The squad also has a hypnotist in their member Muzzeltov , who James Stillwell reassert can in reality hypnotize people . A combination of the two could potentially be all the power needed to land Homelander down for good .
5Starlight Can’t Be Taken Out of The Equation
Starlight’s Powers Burn Hotter Than The Sun
It may not seem like it , but Starlight is pack serious firepower . The Boys # 42reveals that her bursts of light can go up to one million light intensity . One candlepower is roughly 12.7 lumens , putting Starlight ’s bursts at 12.7 million lumen . For comparability , the sun is about 127,000 lumens at Earth ’s orbit , meaning Starlight ’s fusillade are a hundred time more powerful .
It would be an uphill battle , but Annie ’s powers were enough to blind A - Train , and she could almost certainly do the same to Homelander , giving Starlight a firm reward .
