One of the fashion series is the one released by the service Amazon Prime Video call TheBoys. This adventure that places us in a world in which superheroes are not as good as we think is giving a lot to talk about and has created a large legion of fans behind its back since it was launched in 2019. One of the characters that has liked by the spectators is the figure of the Patriot and his role is played by the actor Anthony Starr.
In the comic series The Boys it could be seen that the Patriot is not as powerful as he seems
In a very similar way to Superman, Patriot he has a set of abilities that make him resemble the Man of Steel at his wildest. Unlike the hero of DC that seeks to save the world from the countless threats that exist, the Patriot he only acts in his own favor and does not care at all what happens around him. This makes it a very important threat to the planet since very few people are capable of stopping it if things start to go wrong.
Along the TheBoys, Homelander He has been shown as someone untouchable, since it does not matter who he fights or faces, since if he were to be the case he could be victorious due to his devastating powers that have a high level of destruction. However, one character managed to finish off the leader of The seven with just a single blow, as the final showdown of BlackNoir with Homelander led the latter to suffer a battle the like of which has never been seen before. the clone of Homelander he ended up completing his near-impossible mission and defeating the Patriot he was created with in an absolutely horrific and hair-raising manner.
While it is true that Homelander has a powerful adversary within the television series The Boys, it seems that no one is able to stop him. This is very different from what could happen in the original story. No matter which character tries to stop Homelander because you will always lose. including the queen Maeve dying at their hands after trying to protect star light, no one could even make him shudder. However, when Black Noir revealed himself to be the clone of Homelander and challenged him was when he completely lost control, he proved not only capable of hurting the leader of the Sevenbut also to break it like no one has ever done before.
In The Boys #65 it is shown to Homelander trying to make a coup in the United States trying to take advantage of the chaos that is happening in the country. In order to fulfill his objective, he is capable of killing the president of the USA while mocking the army’s attempts to stop him. However, when he arrives BlackNoir it is revealed that he was the one who committed the darkest crimes of Homelander and things begin to turn around as he presents himself as the first and only candidate to be able to defeat the Patriot.
Throughout The Boys series up to that point, Homelander He was considered a divinity. Nonetheless, BlackNoir managed to defeat Homelander in a horrifying way leaving his opponent as someone useless. This makes us aware that although Homelander seemingly untouchable, he was completely vulnerable to someone with similar strength.
This moment seems to indicate that Homelander’s strength actually far outweighs his invulnerability, as his clone’s punch is so physically devastating that it’s clear the fight has a much higher than average power scale. Patriot does his great harm to BlackNoir, especially using their heat vision, but it’s shocking that a single blow can deal such devastating damage, the kind of damage these twisted superheroes are capable of doing to ordinary people. Even using all of her strength, the queen Maeve could barely break the skin of Homelanderdespite being described as one of the few beings that come close to his level of power.
The fourth season of TheBoys for Amazon Prime Video has yet to get an official release date.
