Beneath his public image as a noble and altruistic hero, the Homelander cares little about the well-being of those he professes to protect.In the Amazon Prime Video television adaptation developed by Eric Kripke, Homelander is portrayed by Antony Starr. This version is the megalomaniacal son of Soldier Boy and the father of Ryan Butcher, responsible for the comic book actions of Black Noir.

Described as the living personification of how the world sees America, the character has received critical acclaim along with Starr's portrayal in the series.
