He really could have been a great superhero, someone who truly loves saving people's lives and helping the world. However, the people who raised him let him grow up in loneliness and fear. He was alone with his powers and had no one to rely on. The only answer he learned for this mistreatment and lack of proper education was violence. Remember that Superman was meant to invade Earth, but his adoptive parents taught him how to be a good person, and that’s why he became the great hero we know today. In the show, no one has an ounce of hope that Homelander can become a better person or truly help him in a healthy way. I’m sure that in another life, Homelander became the hero he was meant to be: a symbol of hope for people, a man who loves to make people's lives less hard, someone who trusts humanity and tries his best to make this world better; just a hero who, when people look at him, makes them happy and smile instead of being afraid. I don't know, maybe in another universe, he’s the good guy of the story, the real hero who will stop Vought despite all the power this company have. I love this character not for what he is, but for what he could have been in the first place : a superhero. Thank you if you have read all of this.
