Homelander was selfish and possessed an unimaginable desire for exclusivity.
He once liked Maeve, or rather, he fancied her unilaterally and wanted Maeve to bring him more traffic, so he considered her his possession.
Anyone who set their sights on Maeve, such as the producer mentioned earlier, would be brutally killed by Homelander.
So, Maeve didn't dare tell Homelander that she actually had a girlfriend outside and that she was bisexual. She feared that if she said it, Hom...

Butcher woke up, but unlike before, he didn't attack Roger.
Now that his head had cleared, he realized that trying to take on an invulnerable superhuman at such close range without any preparation or ability was suicidal.
Butcher didn't want to die, and Roger didn't seem to want to kill him either, so Butcher naturally calmed down.
He wouldn't try to provoke Roger again; after all, Hughie was right, Roger hadn't shown any obvious hostility from the start, and they were the o...

"Aaaahhhhh!!!"
The screams of the gang members echoed through the basement.
Kimiko, released from her cell, brutally attacked the gang members who had guarded and even abused her. Bullets from their guns had no effect on her, quickly falling to the ground as if squeezed out from her flesh. Kimiko had been turned into a superhuman by injecting Compound V in adulthood, granting her a Wolverine-like healing ability, though she lacked his sharp bone claws. Her speed and strength far s...

"Of course I've heard about it," Roger responded to Madelyn. "It seems it was an engine failure—pretty tragic."
"Yeah, it was pretty tragic. I only met him this Tuesday, right in this office," Madelyn continued.
Roger nodded. "Accidents can happen at any time; it's quite real."
"Indeed," Madelyn agreed, then moved closer to Roger and said, "Do you know what's interesting about this incident?"
"Hmm?"

In an alley near the hotel, Queen Maeve was pacing back and forth. Not long after, Roger arrived with burgers and juice. He handed some food to the still-hungry Kimiko and then offered some to Maeve, asking, "Would you like some?"
"No, thanks!" Maeve stopped walking and asked Roger, "What's going on here?" She wanted to lash out at Roger, but the negative impressions of Homelander kept her restrained. Swallowing a few F-words, Maeve tried to maintain her composure.

"Is... is there anything I can help with, Homelander?" Deep sat in his seat, looking at Roger with a hint of fear in his eyes. He seemed to know why Roger had called him here.
Roger nodded and said, "Yes, of course there's something you can help with. I heard from Stillwell today that you found some plane wreckage underwater, the wreckage of the Baltimore mayor's plane, right?"
Cold sweat seeped from Deep's forehead. His heart was beating frantically with nervousness and fear. He ...

Butcher, who had been keeping an eye on Roger, saw him leaving his spot and heading backstage. He quickly relayed this information to Frenchie through their radio.
The team had come to A-Train's race today not to watch two damn Supes compete but because they had learned that A-Train was injecting a substance called Compound V.
They didn't know exactly what Compound V was, but judging by A-Train's behav...

In the training room of Vought Corporation, Queen Maeve was doing her daily training. Her seemingly small fists struck the specially made punching bag in front of her, sending it flying.
When she had no activities scheduled, Queen Maeve would always do this, training her combat skills in the training room.
Because she couldn't fly, didn't have the speed of A-Train, couldn't dive underwater like Deep, or turn invisible like Translucent.

What does a person do after becoming superhuman?
Would they be like Superman, going around saving people, becoming a god among men?
Normally, one wouldn't think so.
Superman becomes a god among men because he's had those powers since childhood, and someone told him to use those powers to do the right thing. After experiencing many things, he eventually becomes Superman.
When a person suddenly gains Superman's powers, their first instinct isn't to save people like Super...

*Ashley was trembling, not understanding where she had offended Homelander. Could it be because she called him and woke him up, making him angry?*
It was not surprising for Ashley to react this way. Although Homelander appeared calm, he was actually quite self-centered. He wouldn't apologize to others unless it was part of a script designed by Vought, and even then, it wasn't a sincere apology.
In private, his apologies were more like veiled insults rather than genu...

Translucent was blown to bits, and his remains were stored in a zinc-coated box. Homelander's x-ray vision is powerful, but it cannot penetrate zinc, indicating that the people who killed Translucent didn't want Homelander to discover the box. Or rather, they didn't want him to discover it quickly.
Since Translucent's corpse couldn't be disposed of, Vought International would eventually find it if they investigated, but this tactic allowed the perpetrators to buy some time.

Now that the Crossing Point has recognized Roger as its master, as long as he finds a space node in a similar world and it is fully charged, Roger can traverse to any world at any location and time.
If Roger could locate the space node of his original world, he might be able to cross back with all of Homelander's abilities.

It was a pendant that had accompanied Noir as he grew up, engraved with his name.

And… always available?
Could this be her boyfriend?
Uh… impossible, right…

Out of concern for Badr, Asia couldn't help but ask as she held the Thunder Dragon in her arms.
The small creature enjoyed lying in Asia's embrace, its small paws restlessly resting on the girl's chest.

He could copy this ability, which would be immensely helpful in hiding his identity in the future.
