Soldier Boy is Homelander’s daddy. It’s a twiꦯst many didn’t see coming and, according to Kripke, they didn’t plan on the moment (which isn’t in t♍he source material) until after Jensen Ackles was cast at Soldier Boy.

"It happened early, but I think it happened after we had cast Jensཧen, but it was in those early couple... first months," Kripke told . "We try to be very, very realistic, but we also have an element of the show that's completely magical."

Kripke explained the 'I’m your daddy' moment "emerged from a careful 💯examina🧔tion of the themes that were evolving for us."

He continued: "We just really noticed how much of the season was about fathers and sons and generational trauma, and [how] toxic masculinity is passed on from father to son over the generations in a really shitty and destructive way…it jus💎t started to feel really organic of like, 'Well, we should give Homelander a dad, and it should be this guy that he hates and then realizes that maybe he should love."
