Many are cheering for Homelander’s death in The Boys Season 4. This twisted supe’s death has been the goal for Butcher and the team since the beginning. Given that he’s such a big target for practically everyone, he has a high chance of dying if anyone can figure out how to kill him. So, check out his status as of The Boys S04E04 below.
Does Homelander die in The Boys Season 4?
Homelander is alive as of The Boys Season 4, Episode 4, but he has begun showing signs of aging. In the season 4 premiere, he finds a grey hair on his body and becomes frustrated. The presence of grey hair indicates that unlike his biological father Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), Homelander doesn’t have the power of longevity.
With Soldier Boy gone and Ryan being too young, Homelander doesn’t have an enemy who can physically take him on. Further, The Boys aren’t that big of a threat in season 4. Homelander takes a morbid pleasure when he learns that Butcher has a tumor in his brain. So, this season, Homelander’s biggest enemy is himself. He struggles with the responsibility of being a father to Ryan, as he remains petty, attention-hungry, and needlessly cruel.
In front of the public and Ryan, Homelander pretends to be a relatable and kind heroic figure, but his psychopathic tendencies have started to emerge. We speculate that as the season progresses, Homelander will become more unstable. However, that doesn’t mean that he will die by suicide. If anything, he will deal with his issues like he always has: by inflicting violence and cruelty upon others. Given his stature in the series, he will likely make it to the fifth and final season of The Boys.
