Reacting to the proposal that Cate steps into Homelander's line of fire, fans addressed their concerns about the danger she could be facing by telling the scariest character in the Boysverse where to go. One Redditor quickly addressed the danger involved. "[You] don't know if Homelander is immune to her powers. That's a big risk for Cate," they wrote. u/CyvaderTheMindFlayer rebuffed this, arguing, "That's what makes it compelling, we don't know if this s*** would work, if it does yay, but if it doesn't you're screwed, and your friends and family are screwed too." The latter user also believes that bringing Cate into "The Boys" to confront Homelander could make for a good power dynamic, as there's a chance the man in charge of The Seven isn't fully invincible.
Other fans of the shows got tactical about Cate's potential request if she lived long enough to make one. u/JohnnyCharles advised, "She could word it in such a way to give her plausible deniability. 'I've always wanted a star of my own, you should go fetch one for me.' Something like that." That's a genius idea, but with that said, some fans felt that Homelander would be far too quick in catching on to what Cate was trying to do. Talking about whether it would work, u/jm9987690 said, "I think at Homelander and Soldier Boy's power level, they have some resistance to other supes powers."
Either way, with three episodes left of "Gen V," worlds could collide in the best, goriest way possible, putting school out permanently.
