The Worst Things Homelander Has Ever Done In The Boys

From the very beginning of “The Boys,” we know that Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) is nursing quite a vendetta against Homelander. But over the course of the series, we get more information about exactly what went down between the two of them, and it all has to do with Butcher’s beloved wife, Becca (Shantel VanSanten). Before the show began, Becca worked in the marketing department for Vought, which is where she was raped by Homelander, and forced to carry his child in secret. 

Not only did she have to grapple with the trauma of her sexual assault without the support of her friends and family, who were all told that she had died, but once Homelander learned the truth about their existence of their shared son, Ryan, she had to endure visits from him in her own home. After all, Homelander is nothing if not an involved father (if by involved, you mean manipulative and abusive, that is). There’s no question that Homelander filled Becca’s life with violence and terror, infiltrating even the safe space she had built for herself and Ryan.

If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available. Visit the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network website or contact RAINN’s National Helpline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
