There are SO many terrible supes on the hit Amazon Prime show The Boys. Let’s see which ones are the worst. Though I am pretty sure you all know who number 1 is.
10. Black Noir
I know, I know! Black Noir is meant to be way worse. I know he is even worse than Homelander, but I’m placing him as number 10 purely based on his character in the show. In the show, he’s pretty bad. He murders people and he sells Soldier Boy to the Russians. But let’s be real, Soldier Boy totally deserved it. It’s also hard to consider a guy who sees imaginary woodland creatures as completely evil.
9. A-Train
A-Train is pretty awful. I mean, he carelessly kills Hughie’s girlfriend and he purposefully kills his own girlfriend. He is certainly one of the most egotistical supes on this list. But as the show progresses, he starts to feel genuinely terrible about the horrible things he’s done and tries to make amends. He gives vital information to The Boys. He saves Hughie. And he kills a racist, murderous cop. Speaking of which…
8. Soldier Boy
I should probably put Soldier Boy higher on this list. He is so terrible that his entire team sold him out to the Russians. He is the embodiment of toxic masculinity. I only put him so low on the list because I can’t hear his name without thinking about the song “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” and it makes me nostalgic for my high school days.
7. Sage
You may be wondering why Sage is not higher on this list. She has orchestrated acts of violence and she’s Homelander’s right hand woman for a time. Plus, being the smartest person who has ever lived makes her terrifying to a degree that we can’t even begin to comprehend. But I put her so low on the list because when she has temporary brain damage, she is downright hilarious and adorable. I’m also holding out hope that she changes sides and becomes a good guy.
6. Firecracker
Firecracker is insufferable! She is so insufferable I would’ve put her higher on the list if I could. But a grifter with an ax to grind and a school girl crush on a sociopath is more pathetic than it is evil. She may not be as terrifying as the other supes on this list, but she is one of the most hateable.
5. Victoria Neuman
I think the tragedy of Victoria Neuman is that she was not an intrinsically evil person. She was an overzealous politician who let her ambition cloud her judgment and destroy what little humanity she had left. She could have been a formidable weapon against Vought, but she chose to blaze her political trail, leaving several bodies in her wake.
4. The Deep
I know what you’re thinking. “The Deep is too stupid to be considered evil or terrifying.” But one does not have to be smart to be a truly heinous human being. He sexually assaults Starlight and he kills his octopus girlfriend while listening to her beg for mercy. He is utterly irredeemable.
3. Tek Knight
The best thing I can say about Tek Knight is that he’s dead. Not only is he basically a white supremacist, he is also a sadistic sexual abuser. What makes him truly terrifying is that with his wealth, privilege, and heightened sense of self-importance, he would have been a dangerous man with or without powers.

2. Stormfront
Stormfront is a literal Nazi. I don’t have to say any more than that. She is a racist Nazi who encourages Homelander’s evil nature and tries to corrupt Ryan. I would have put her as number 1 if not for…

1. Homelander
You all saw this coming. Homelander is violent, ableist, sexist, and racist. And those aren’t even his worst qualities. The way he effortlessly and callously plays with and takes lives is terrifying. His tragic backstory doesn’t really do much to humanize him. He sexually assaulted a woman, let a plane full of people die, mutilated a team of scientists and forced a girl to jump to her death all in his quest to take over and be loved by the entire country.
