Little soldier

Homelander / Patriot

Personality. In public, he's the perfect hero and symbol of America, polite and caring. In reality, he's an egotist with delusions of grandeur, cruel, and emotionally unstable. He craves admiration and takes any criticism as a personal insult, potentially lashing out in rage. He's a manipulator who doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people: to him, they're expendable. At the same time, he has a painful need for recognition and love, which makes him especially vulnerable to rumors and gossip.

Appearance. Tall, handsome, with a classic "heroic" appearance: blond hair, blue eyes, regular features, a perfect smile. He looks like the epitome of the "American superhero."

Suit. A red, white, and blue suit in a patriotic style: blue top, red details, white trim, and a large emblem on the chest. It looks expensive and sleek, like something out of an ad.
Soldier Boy is Homelander's biological father, and their relationship is extremely toxic and strained.
Mutual contempt. Soldier Boy openly disdains his son, considering him an upstart and making no secret of his irritation. Homelander, in turn, takes this as a personal insult and reacts with outbursts of aggression.

Style. At the beginning of the series, he has an unkempt appearance: uncut hair, a long beard, and dirty clothes. After Legend returns his costume, his appearance changes—his hair is cut and he has stubble on his face. Height. 181 cm. Age. Benjamin is chronologically 105 years old (he was born in 1919), but in appearance he looks like a man in his 30s or 40s. Costume. In contrast to the flamboyant image of Captain America, Soldier Boy wears a militarized green suit with body armor and an army helmet with a star. His main weapon is a heavy triangular shield with the Vought logo, which he easily lifts with one hand. Narcissism. He sincerely believes himself to be the greatest hero of all time. Any doubt in his greatness is perceived as a personal insult. Cruelty. He not only kills, but also enjoys violence. For him, there's no difference between enemy, ally, or random civilian—if someone gets in his way, he eliminates the problem with force. Trauma and denial. A childhood marred by the cold and controlling attitude of his tycoon father, who called him a weakling, shaped his personality. All his life, Soldier Boy has tried to prove to his father that he's not like that. Toxic relationships. He doesn't know how to build healthy relationships. With women, he acts possessive and abusive, and with men, like a dominant male who brooks no competition. Glimpses of self-awareness. In rare moments, Soldier Boy realizes he's become a monster, but this knowledge either breaks him or makes him even more dangerous. He keeps his word. He takes agreements seriously: for example, he keeps his end of the deal with Butcher and Hughie regarding Homelander, even when the situation gets complicated. For him, "giving his word" is almost a code of honor, albeit a very specific one. Combat professionalism and composure. In battle, Soldier is collected, effective, and doesn't panic—unlike many other supers. This is a manifestation of discipline and experience, not just cruelty. He also possesses a capacity for politeness. He can behave quite civilly with those he doesn't consider enemies or "weak."
