Why Homelander Should Worry About This Supe In The Boys' Future

Becca Butcher went to great lengths to protect her son from the influence of Vought. Her goal was to raise Ryan as normally as she possibly could, despite his powers. As a result, he doesn't fully understand just how strong (and dangerous) he is, but he definitely got a taste of what he's capable of when he used his lasers on Stormfront.

In that moment, Ryan revealed he's actually stronger than his father, according to Kripke. "The strength of Ryan's lasers — which were surprisingly powerful — are way more powerful than even Homelander's when Ryan gets angry enough," he told TV Guide.

Given that Ryan is still quite young, it's possible the full extent of his strength won't be revealed for some time, but Homelander should certainly be worried about his son being used as a weapon against him. Since Butcher knows he can't be a father to the boy, he handed him over to Mallory's team, and you can bet they're teaching him how to control and utilize his powers just in case they need to utilize him against his father. Fingers crossed they're working fast though, because given his current state of mind, Homelander is an imminent threat.
