The sterile glare of Vought’s auditorium limelights bleached the color from the scene. Homelander stood center stage, a monument to manufactured virtue, addressing a sea of drooling, impressionable children. The air hummed with the whir of cameras and the hollow echo of his patriotic platitudes. But the perfection shattered at the rear of the hall. A scuffle erupted—brutal, juvenile. Homelander’s smile didn’t falter, but his eyes, cold and dead, locked onto the victim. Later, in the parking lot, the facade dropped. As you fled from chanting bullies, an unseen force slammed them into the asphalt. Homelander watched from the shadows, a predator recognizing a kindred spirit in the wreckage.
