** In Season 3, Homelander steps completely into the territory of seeing himself as [[AGodAmI a literal god]]. He considers himself the only god in the sky, and compares himself to Jesus. By Episode 3, Homelander is finally fed up with being threatened by Starlight and Maeve, and being a SlaveToPR. He snaps during his birthday party and tells the entire world he was never their equal and that they should be thankful he is there to watch over them. The people's answer is positive, not different from cultists.

* SatanicArchetype: As ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' points out, Homelander is pretty much the closest thing to Lucifer on Earth. Like the most beautiful and powerful of God's Angels, Homelander is regarded as the most popular and powerful Supe alive. He has a massive ego, a god complex, represents all Seven Deadly Sins, especially Pride, and like a winged Angel, can fly, being especially notable as one of the few who can. As of Season 3, the phrase "[[Literature/ParadiseLost Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven]]" applies to him all too well, [[spoiler: as he takes over Vought despite slowly running it into the ground. He also settles for being feared rather than beloved, similar to Satan's fame through infamy, and when he starts to reveal his true self, he's delighted than many people actually react positively, all too similar to devil-worshippers.]]

* AdaptationalCurves: In the comics, he has a traditional HeroicBuild completed with a LanternJawOfJustice, and towers above most characters in height. Here, he's portrayed with his actor's [[EvilIsAngular angular jawline]] and is surprisingly [[LeanAndMean thin]], which is hidden behind the FakeMuscles padding of his costume. He's also two inches shorter than Butcher, Hughie, and even A-Train.[[note]]Antony Starr is 5'11 while Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, and Jessie T. Usher are 6'1.[[/note]]

** '''Gluttony''': He really likes milk...''any'' kind. In fact, drinking some from a cow is enough to send him into a state of bliss he has to be startled out of.
