The Boys Just Changed How Homelander Can Be Defeated

The Boys Season 5 just flipped everything we thought we knew—especially with Homelander’s shocking V1 upgrade.

After Episode 6, it looks like Homelander may have become truly unstoppable. But is he really invincible, or is this exactly what Sister Sage wanted? In this breakdown, we dive into the ending of “Though the Heavens Fall,” unpacking Sage’s master plan, Soldier Boy’s role, and the terrifying implications of V1.

We explore whether Sage actually failed—or if she’s still several steps ahead. Plus, we look at the major clue about Homelander’s weakness to radiation and how that could factor into the final episodes. Could Soldier Boy’s powers be the key? And what’s going on with that wall of psychic supes?

From Gen V connections to finale theories, this episode sets the stage for a massive showdown. If Homelander can’t be beaten the usual way, the Boys may need something far more extreme.

Here’s what it all really means—and how it could end.
