In the first season of The Boys, a popular Amazon Prime superhero series, a central question that has been asked is whether or not Homelander, the leader of The Seven, raped Billy’s wife, Becca. This is an important question to answer and one that has divided viewers.
Becca and Homelander first met at a private party a few days before the alleged assault. Becca was troubled after their encounter and went to Vought for help on January 24th 2012. She confirmed she was pregnant with Homelander’s child.
Homelander eventually came calling and when he arrived he denied ever raping Becca, claiming they had consensual sex. This was later revealed to be false when it was revealed that Becca had died while trying to deliver Homelander’s child – only for this to be upended in the season’s final moments when it was revealed that Becca was alive and so was the child she had conceived during her rape by Homelander.
It is important to note that just entering a room with Homelander aone does not mean that adultery has taken place – but in this case it seems clear that a sexual assault did occur as evidenced by Becca’s pregnancy and her death while trying to deliver his child.
The events of The Boys’ first season have left viewers in no doubt as to whether or not Homelander raped Becca – he did. It remains unclear what will happen next for both characters but one thing is certain – there will be consequences for his actions.
The Alleged Rape of Becca by Homelander
Yes, Homelander raped Becca. On January 24th, 2012, Becca met with Homelander in a private room where he proceeded to engage in non-consensual sexual intercourse with her. This act of violence left Becca feeling traumatized and she sought help from Vought when she confirmed that she was pregnant with Homelander’s child. This is a clear indication that there was no consent involved in the sexual encounter and it can be determined that Homelander had indeed raped Becca.
Does Becca Cheat on Butcher?
No, Becca does not cheat on Butcher. While she does end up in a compromising situation with Homelander, the circumstances that led to it were not voluntary on her part. Homelander uses his power and influence to force her into a room alone with him, and while it’s implied that something intimate may have happened between them, there is no indication that Becca was unfaithful to Butcher.
Did Rebecca Engage in a Romantic Relationship With Homelander?
No, Rebecca did not sleep with Homelander. According to the comic book series, Homelander claims that he and Rebecca had consensual sex, but this is disputed by Rebecca herself, who states that she was raped by him. It is clear that in the eyes of Billy Butcher (Rebecca’s husband), Homelander is guilty of rape. Therefore, it can be concluded that while Homelander believes they had consensual sex, Rebecca and Billy believe otherwise.
Revealing Becca’s Survival: How Homelander Discovered She Was Alive
In the Season 1 finale of The Boys, Homelander discovers that Becca is alive after being led to a suburban front lawn by Butcher. Upon arriving, he finds not only Becca, but also the child she had conceived durng her sexual assault at his hands. It is revealed that this child is actually Homelander’s son and his DNA was used to identify him.
The truth about Becca’s survival and existence of their child is revealed to Homelander by a mysterious organization known as Vought International. It turns out that Vought had been secretly harboring Becca in this suburban home for the past year and had been manipulating events to keep her safe. This includes the abduction of Butcher so he could be taken to Becca’s location and reveal her whereabouts to Homelander.
Did Starlight Betray Hughie?
No, Starlight did not cheat on Hughie. In fact, it was Hughie who cheated on her with fellow superhero Holy Mary, leading to their eventual breakup. This betrayal was what eventually led to Starlight’s romantic involvement with Hughie at the end of the issue.
The Consequences of Eating a Baby in The Boys
In The Boys comic book series, Homelander is revealed to have a dark and horrific past. In issue #40, it is revealed that he has been feeding on humans – including a baby. This gruesome act of cannibalism is likely too extreme to appear in the television series adaptation. However, it serves as a reminder of Homelander’s immense power and willingness to use it for evil purposes.
Does Butcher Have a Romantic Relationship With Maeve?
Yes, Butcher does sleep with Maeve in episode 5 of The Boys. After their super-powered excursion in Russia, Maeve brings Butcher some V-24 to help him get back on his feet. Feeling defeated, the two get drunk and end up having sex. Though it was unlikely that viewers had seen this coming, it is a pivotal moment in their relationship which helps them to move forward and become closer than before.
Is Black Noir a Homelander Clone?
Yes, Black Noir is a clone of the Homelander, created by Vought-American with refined Compound-V. He was created as a contingency plan in order to ensure that Homelander never oversteps his bounds, and can be used to kill him if he does. Cloning technology has advanced significantly since then, allowing Vought to create Black Noir as an exact genetic duplicate of Homelander. This includes physical and mental characteristics such as hair color, facial features, and even superpowers. As a result, Black Noir is a perfect clone of Homelander in every way.
What Does the Character Black Noir Look Like?
Black Noir is a mysterious and enigmatic figure, dressed in a full body black suit that hugs his frame. His face is covered by a impenetrable black mask, but through the mask one can make out his fair skin, blonde hair and intense blue eyes; features that are strikingly similar to those of Homelander himself. The suit itself is made of an unknown material and appears to be bulletproof and fireproof. He also wears a pair of thick combat boots as well as various pouches on his belt.
Does Starlight Fall in Love With Hughie?
Starlight does indeed develop strong feelings for Hughie, although whether or not those feelings are romantic or sexual in nature is unclear. Initially, Starlight is hesitant to get too close to Hughie due to his association with the Seven, but over time she begins to trust and rely on him. As their relationship progresses, Starlight begins to open up more and expresses her feelings for him more openly. She even goes as far as to say that she loves him, although it’s not clear if this is in a platonic or romantic way. Ultimately, it is up to the individual reader to decide whether or not Starlight tuly falls in love with Hughie.
The Girlfriend of Homelander
Homelander’s girlfriend is Queen Maeve, a former leader of the Seven and Homelander’s former love interest. The two first met at the start of season one, and their relationship quickly grew into a romantic one, with Homelander often speaking fondly of her. However, despite his seemingly genuine affections for her, Maeve was never able to reciprocate those feelings due to her fear and hatred of Homelander. In Season 3, Homelander even claimed to have genuinely loved Maeve, but she said she always feared and hated him. Ultimately, their relationship ended shortly after that.
The Mystery of How Becca Had Homelander’s Baby
In the Amazon Prime TV series adaptation of The Boys, Becca’s baby was revealed to be Homelander’s, not Black Noir’s as it was in the original comics. This significant change in the story was made to provide more depth and complexity to the characters.
Becca and Homelander had a brief romantic relationship when Becca had been hired by Vought International as a consultant for their public relations department. In one of their meetings, they ended up having unprotected sex, resulting in Becca becming pregnant with what would later be revealed to be Homelander’s child. This child is born at the end of Season 1, with Becca naming him Ryan.
The twist that Ryan is actually Homelander’s child is revealed in Season 2 when Vought International attempts to blackmail Homelander into supporting them by threatening to expose his secret son. It is then that it is revealed that Ryan is not only the son of a superhero but also the son of one of the world’s most powerful men.
The Reasons Behind Becca’s Cheating on Butcher
Becca cheated on Butcher because she wanted to protect her son from the prejudice Billy had against superhumans. She knew that if Billy found out that her son was a superhuman, he would never accept him and would likely be hostile towards him. Becca was willing to sacrifice her own happiness for her son’s safety, and so decided to end their relationship in order to keep her son safe from harm.
Exploring Homelander’s Fascination With Milk
Homelander’s obsession with milk is an expression of his loneliness and frustration. He has an obsession with watching his girlfriend, Becca, pump breast milk for their infant son Ryan. This obsession is rooted in his envy of their close relationship and the fact that he will never be able to have a similar bond with Ryan. His jealousy is further expressed by his attempts to drink the breast milk himself, whih he does out of a desperate attempt to have some sort of connection with the baby. Ultimately, Homelander’s fixation on milk is a symptom of his feelings of isolation and exclusion from the family unit.
Who Was Responsible for the Assault on Homelander?
Homelander (Antony Starr) was the one who assaulted Becca, the wife of Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), in order to demonstrate his power and dominance over her. Becca worked for Vought, a company that produces a line of superpowered individuals known as The Seven, which Homelander is a member of. During her employment at Vought, Becca experienced sexual assault from Homelander as he forced himself upon her in an attempt to show his control. This horrific act is what ultimately led to Billy’s crusade against Homelander and The Seven.
Conclusion
It is clear that Homelander did, in fact, rape Becca in the private room shortly after their party. Despite his claims of consensual sex, it is evident that the power dynamic between him and Becca was far too unbalanced for there to have been any form of genuine consent. In addition, Becca’s eventual pregnancy and death due to complications resulting from childbirth further affirm the fact that Homelander raped her. The reveal at the end of Season 1 that Becca was alive and had given birth to Homelander’s child only further cements this truth. In conclusion, it is undeniable that Homelander raped Becca on that fateful night.
