The Boys: Who is the most powerful superhero in the franchise?

Do you know “The Boys”, this crazy series which features not-so-heroic superheroes? With its colorful characters and surprising twists and turns, this series never ceases to surprise us. So, follow me to find out who is behind the mask of the most formidable superhero in the universe of “The Boys”…

The world of The Boys

For those who are not yet familiar with the series, The Boys was created by Eric Kripke and is based on the comics by Garth Ennis. The series shows us a world creepy filled with sociopathic narcissists with superpowers who use their abilities to commit atrocities without any repercussions. But among these “Supers”, who is the most powerful?

Homelander: an invincible superhero?

It’s hard not to immediately think of Homelander, the ruthless superhero played by Antony Starr. Homelander has an impressive range of powers, making him virtually invincible. From superhuman strength to heat vision, he seems unstoppable. However, is he really not matched by any other character?

Victoria Neuman: the power of manipulation

Also powerful but in a different way we have Victoria Neuman (performed by Claudia Doumit). This political figure with his incredible manipulative skills and vast network of influences could well be considered one of the greatest forces in the universe of The Boys. Her ability to maneuver and control those around her makes her terribly dangerous.

Ghost: The true ultimate superhero?

However, the series anthological lively The Boys presents: Diabolique! perhaps reveals another candidate to us. Introduced in the second episode of this series, Ghost has astonishing powers. Its ghostly intangibility makes it invulnerable and she is immune to Homelander’s heat rays, in addition to being able to own people. These abilities make her a formidable opponent.

The devastating applications of Ghost’s powers

Ghost is perhaps the most powerful of the whole universe of The Boys. Not being able to interact with the physical world in a conventional way condemned her to a sensationless existence. However, its two major assets – immunity to Homelander’s attacks and human possession – give it incomparable destructive potential.

The future of Ghost in the universe of The Boys

The potential of Ghost is such that it seems that the creators of the series have avoided integrating it further into the main plot, to avoid too significant narrative repercussions. Diabolical! nevertheless allows us to glimpse to what extent it could be a extreme threat for any opponent, whether Super or not.

As we eagerly watch the sequel to The Boys, it is certain that Ghost remains among the most impressive characters and powerful never introduced into this universe. What do you think? Who do you think is the most powerful superhero? The Boys ? Share your thoughts in the comments!
