However, the breakout triumph of the season is Antony Starr as Homelander. He creates one of the most terrifying villains in television history—a Superman analog with a god complex and a fragile toddler’s ego. Homelander is not evil because he wants to rule the world; he is evil because he was raised in a lab and simply doesn't care about humans. The supporting cast, particularly Erin Moriarty as Starlight (the "new recruit" who realizes the job is corrupt) and Elisabeth Shue as the corporate shark Madelyn Stillwell, round out a top-tier ensemble.
The first season features an ensemble cast that anchors the show's dark humor and emotional weight: Karen Fukuhara The Boys - S01 Season 1
