The Boys is one of the hottest shows on streaming right now, and no character has polarized audiences more than the power-hungry superhuman Homelander. The antagonistic leader of the Seven has captivated even his detractors, and understandably a good deal of cosplay has been made featuring his recognizable visage.
Countless cosplayers have stepped up to the plate to cosplay Homelander, and many ended up hitting a home run with their own personal take on the character. As always, if you like the cosplay featured in this list, make sure to check out the original creators at the links provided and support their work in whatever way you can.
Captaineiron76
Captaineiron76 exudes Homelander's power and pride with this incredible cosplay. With his cape flapping in the wind, he fully looks the part of the maniacal superhero, right down to the pristinely-kept hairstyle and recognizable suit.
Every detail fits like a puzzle piece, and all of Homelander's most important qualities are rendered accurately. Photographer lenoel.photo did an excellent job on this one, capturing Homelander from a somewhat mysterious side view.
The Man Under The Hood
The Man under the Hood's cosplay of Homelander has been complimented by Antony Starr himself, and since the actor himself is probably the best judge of how accurate a Homelander cosplay is, we just had to include it.
The costume (designed by @parallellifestudios) looks amazing and, because of its accuracy to the show's design, makes the cosplayer an instant shoo-in for Homelander. The hair is done outstandingly well, and the special effects are the icing on the cake. Plus, photographer giacomo_dotti adds their own professional touch to make this cosplay a complete winner.
CaptCash
Cosplayer CaptCash has the Homelander formula down to an exact science with their unbelievably accurate take on the character. They nail his signature pose (emanating an almost comical level of confidence), his spectacular outfit (which in this case was designed by the cosplayer himself), and, of course, his divisive haircut.
This particular Homelander cosplay is easy to compare against the show's version because the cosplayer is standing right in front of him! Side-by-side, they end up looking completely alike.
CWeeksCosplay
CWeekscosplay almost improves on Homelander with their creative cosplay of the character, hitting all the right notes with the hair and costume design, while packing a levelheaded expression that shows just how self-assured Homelander is in his actions.
The bluish background seamlessly blends with the cosplay itself; the editing is so good that this picture could be mistaken as a promo for the show's third season.
Kizuki_Cosplay
Kizuki_Cosplay looks great as Homelander, assuming the character's radiant but destructive personality and unmistakable hero outfit.
The braggartly pose shows that the cosplayer has become one with the character, asserting their complete superiority as the believed savior of the world. Photographer David Ngo on the merits of the cosplay with excellent shot composition and a keen eye for each and every detail.
SharkWithCoolHaircut
SharkWithCoolHaircut, who portrays Homelander here, has created a bizarre but oddly fitting crossover by doing a cosplay duet with their girlfriend, who assumed the role of Captain Marvel.
The chemistry definitely works, and Homelander's cosplayer lives up to his name with a vicious take on the character that melds the most extreme bits of his personality into one boastful bundle.
Nova_pepakura
Cosplayer Nova_pepakura prepared this magnificent Homelander cosplay for the release of The Boys season 2, but we almost wish it had come sooner so we would have more time to marvel at the extraordinary levels of detail in its design.
The cosplayer seems to know exactly what makes Homelander tick, getting his personality perfectly on-point with a relaxed but wary pose that perfectly speaks to his charismatic visage.
HanJonesCosplay
HanJonesCosplay presents what is almost certainly the most "Homelander" of Homelander cosplays we've seen yet, in that it best shows how the character presents himself — and also hints at there being a little more than meets the eye to him.
The character's arrogance is definitely on full display, but each individual piece of this cosplay is so sublimely done (including the outfit, which was once again designed by @parallellifestudios) that Homelander's evilness doesn't become imposing or even distract from the cosplayer's efforts.
Jparkercosplay
Jparkercosplay shows us what might as well be the poster for a Homelander spin-off series, crafting each component of their more-than-competent cosplay with excruciating attention to detail.
Each facet of the design is a treat in and of itself, and photographer Alejandro Somolinos does an admirable job of putting it all together.
Beast_awakens
Cosplayer Beast_awakens is at the center of this amazing The Boys cosplay, which features amazing takes on all seven of The Seven.
Full credit goes to their co-conspirators Fairykingcos (Starlight), Kaine1971 (The Deep), Kunaicosplay (Queen Maeve), Ugoandcosplay (Black Noir), Cosplaysbyshinobi (A-Train), and Rand_cosplay (Translucent) for each being part of such a terrific effort.
