Homelander's Evil Army
The Boys creator Eric Kripke has revealed that Homelander is building a sinister superhero army, and that Cate and Sam, the breakout stars of Gen V, are front and center in his plans. After a wild run on Gen V, Cate and Sam are being positioned as Vought heroes and are quickly gaining fame, making them perfect recruits for Homelander's cause.
Kripke shared that Cate, who is decidedly anti-human and pro-Supe, is embracing this new role wholeheartedly. Sam, however, seems a bit more hesitant, but Cate's ability to manipulate his emotions and make him feel nothing keeps him loyal and in line with her agenda.
Cate and Sam: The Next Generation of Supes
This dynamic duo represents a new generation of supes, and Homelander knows that by promoting them and making them celebrities, he can inspire younger supes to join his cause. While it's unclear how much Cate and Sam will be featured in The Boys itself, their role in Gen V season 2 seems much more prominent.
With their increasing fame, Cate and Sam could become formidable weapons in Homelander's arsenal. Think of them as the poster children for his movement, ready to sway the hearts and minds of the next generation of supes.
The Boys vs. Homelander's New Order
It's safe to say that Billy Butcher, Hughie, and the rest of the Boys are not going to sit idly by while Homelander expands his power. Butcher, armed with the knowledge of how to make more of the supe virus, is gearing up for a major fight, and Cate and Sam are sure to be caught in the crossfire.
Will Cate and Sam embrace Homelander's vision for the future? Or will they ultimately break free from his control and find their own path? The lines between hero and villain are blurring, and the future of the world hangs in the balance.
The Future of Gen V and The Boys
Kripke has emphasized that Gen V and The Boys are closely intertwined, but that audiences don't need to watch one to understand the other. Still, the crossover events in season 4 of The Boys clearly show that Cate and Sam are going to be major players in both series moving forward.
It's going to be a wild ride for Gen V season 2, as we dive deeper into the world of the Vought training facility and the fallout from its disastrous events. And on The Boys, we can expect to see the conflict between Homelander's growing power and the Boys' resistance escalate to new heights.
