How Old Was Homelander In Season 1

Alright, gather 'round, folks. I've got a tale to spin about this guy, Homelander, from The Boys. You know, the show that's like Superman on steroids, with a dash of reality TV drama. Now, you might be wondering, how old was this beefed-up, caped wonder in Season 1?

Well, buckle up, because it's not as simple as it seems. See, Homelander, played by the ever-charming Antony Starr, is an alien. And aliens, as we all know, age like fine wine. Or, in this case, like a really old, really strong wine.

So, let's rewind to the 1980s, when Homelander first touched down on Earth. He was just a wee lad, or so we're told. He was sent here by his home planet, Vought, to be a symbol of hope and justice. You know, the usual superhero stuff.

Now, here's where it gets tricky. Unlike us humans, who age like a fine cheese (and let's face it, some of us age more like a blue cheese), Homelander ages... well, not at all. At least, not visibly. He's like the Benjamin Button of the superhero world, stuck in his prime.

So, when we meet him in Season 1, he's rocking that classic, timeless look. You know, the one that says, "I'm strong, I'm invincible, and I've got abs that could cut glass." But in terms of actual years? Who knows?

Some say he's in his 30s. Some say he's older than your grandpa's favorite rocking chair. But here's the thing, folks: Homelander doesn't care. He's too busy being the world's most powerful being to worry about a little thing like age.

Now, you might be thinking, "But what about his son, Ryan? Isn't he a clue to Homelander's age?" Well, yes and no. Ryan is, indeed, Homelander's son. But remember, Homelander's sperm is basically a tiny, super-powered alien. So, who knows how that works?

Season 1 Homelander

All we know is this: Homelander is old enough to have seen the world change, from the Cold War to the internet. He's old enough to have fought alongside (and against) some of history's most powerful beings. And he's old enough to have made a few enemies along the way. But in terms of actual years? Your guess is as good as mine.

So, there you have it, folks. The great mystery of Homelander's age. It's like trying to figure out how old a fine wine is, without tasting it. Or, you know, like trying to figure out how old your weird uncle is at a family reunion. You just never know.

But hey, who cares about age when you can fly, shoot lasers from your eyes, and have abs that could cut glass? That's what I thought. Now, who's ready for another round?
