* [[ForWantOfANail Even though society is largely the same as today]], the social values for the Fundamentalist Christian characters about sex are still around the same as they were in the 90's/early 2000's. This is most likely because the "religious" superheroes such as an unnamed female superhero with wings helped elevate the Fundamentalists' views as they likely used the aforementioned "religious" superheroes to ease each of their consciousness.

Most likely through Homelander referencing Omni-Man or how both the fanbases and creators of both comics agree that Omni-Man would beat him. Given his insecurities, Homelander would likely violently murder anyone who implies that someone could beat him in a fight. Bonus points if [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Homelander kills that person by ripping out their heart, shoving it in their mouth, and then crushing their head between his hands]].

[[WMG:Mr. Marathon will show up as a ChekhovsGunman at some point]]
In keeping with him being the OnlySaneMan during the 9/11 incident in the comics, Mr. Marathon will turn out to have voluntarily retired from the Seven due to becoming tired of the debauchery and chaos that comes with being a member, leading to him allying with the Boys to stop whatever Homelander has planned for the future.

* He'll play the "alien" part as him being a conspiracy theorist, meant to be a TakeThat to people like Alex Jones, or, given Homelander's behavior [[{{Trumplica}} parodying and mocking Trump]], a parody of groups like Q-Anon. Bonus points if [[ArmoredClosetGay he's a transphobe/TERF]] [[TransChaser with a thing for transsexuals]].

Unlike the comics, he'll be portrayed as an {{Expy}} of Stephen Hawkings, because both he and Professor X (who Godolkin originally parodied) are disabled geniuses, and because Stephen Hawkings is one of the many clients revealed when the Epstein List was unsealed. It also means that if the show ever wants to introduce an ArcVillain parodying Jeffrey Epstein, they could portray Godolkin as one of his clients and use this to set up a larger plotline in which Vought are trying to cover up a trafficking ring and that several of their own superheroes are clients of this ArcVillain, who threatens to take Vought down by revealing all sorts of secrets Vought want covered up.[[/folder]]

[[WMG: Ryan will be key to Homelander's death and/or [[FateWorseThanDeath permanent downfall]].]]
It's been mentioned that Billy fears Vought will use him as a contingency against Homelander and possible replacement, like he was revealed to have been for Soldier Boy. Though Season 3 has him side with Homelander, he's young and still could turn on him. [[spoiler:Like comic Black Noir]] he's the offspring ([[ChildByRape more literally]] [[OurClonesAreDifferent than the former]]) of Homelander. In a way he's also behind Homelander becoming more of a liability for Vought, since after learning about him he's been more willing to push boundaries. The key difference however is that [[spoiler:comic Noir had no justification for taking out Homelander and went out of his way to drive him mad and was a CorruptedContingency]], while Ryan would have perfectly legitimate reasons and be an unintentional contingency.

And she'll be a deconstruction of SJWs. In the sequel comic Dear Becky, there was an off-mention of "woke people" (another term for SJWs), where the comic book version of Hughie calls them virtue-signallers who only want to look good before they "fuck off" back to their suburbs. So this would not be surprising.

* Seemingly Jossed [[spoiler: leaked images from the set have shown that the two new series-exclusive Supes, Firecracker and Sister Sage, have become part of the Seven. Furthermore, Black Noir is back and rumors abound that Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays Tek-Knight. This could possibly even turn out to be the first season since season 1 where the Seven actually has Seven members: Firecracker, Sister Sage, Black Noir, the Deep, A-Train, Homelander and Tek-Knight]]

** Derek Wilson plays Tek-Knight, not JDM, however.



Dakota Bob will win the election and he already dislikes Homelander. Their riff is only going to get worse now that Homelander is openly evil in public, megalomaniac and becoming a supe supremacist, leading Homelander to try seizing the national government like he did with Vought's leadership.

In fact, this will push A-Train into betraying Homelander and allying with The Boys. Moreso if the show portrays SS as a hypocritical opportunist who doesn't believe in what she says publicly, and/or Homelander tries to make her and A-Train into a couple.

Unlikely; her costume includes bandoliers and an icon depicting a handgun and a stick of dynamite, which points to her being a DistaffCounterpart of Gunpowder.

[[WMG:Which may mean, Firecracker will be a "pupil" of Gunpowder, admitted in part into the Seven as a tribute to him]]
Or at least that's how the marketing dep will spin it.

[[WMG: Alternatively, Firecracker will have ImprobableAimingSkills as well as fire manipulation as her powers.]]
She could be a firecracker in more ways than one, both in that she's wild with her use of guns and her literal pyrokinesis. Plus, just because she uses weapons does not mean that she could have separate powers that do not involve use of weapons.

[[WMG: Also alternatively, Firecracker actually will be a former sidekick of Gunpowder.]]
Leading to her hating Butcher because he killed her mentor Gunpowder.

*** Although he has no known power armor in Gen V, his dialogue with Cate implies he does have superhuman strength, so he apparently at least has his comic book counter part's super-strength, just NOT from power armor this time.

Given every single instance of him barely holding himself together in public (and that stuff occured frequently in Season 3), the terrible stuff will eventually happen. Alternatively, it could be a very detailed ImagineSpot kind of moment that becomes much, ''much worse'' than lasering the entire crowd of people.
