1 Who Will Get Their Hands On V1?

Compound V1 in The Boys appears to be the focal point of this season so far, with every single side vying to get their hands on the game-changing drug. Known as the most powerful iteration of Compound V, Homelander is desperately searching for it so he can be immune to the supe-killing virus that the Boys plan to unleash.

We know that Soldier Boy, Thomas Godolkin, and Stormfront have or had V1 in their blood, rendering them immortal. After multiple failed attempts to secure it, The Boys must quickly answer what happens if:

Homelander gets his hands on it
Butcher and MM destroy it
Kimiko and Annie take it

Episode 5 of The Boys may take us to Bombsight, a known Compound V1 supe who is likely carrying it on him.

2 What Is Soldier Boy’s Role?

So far, Soldier Boy has been used as a tool by Homelander to get his hands on V1 while he remains safe from the supe-killing virus. Episode 4 revealed that Soldier Boy plans to destroy it to stop his son, Homelander, from being equal to him.

Season 5 of The Boys was revealed to be an exploration of the father-son dynamic, as revealed by the creator, Eric Kripke. Soldier Boy will no doubt continue to play a big role, but his intentions appear to be purely selfish.

3 Where Is the Gen V Crossover?

Marie Moreau, Sam Riordan, Jordan Li, Cate Dunlap, and Emma Meyer are confirmed to appear in The Boys Season 5, but after half a season, we’ve still not seen them. Tied into Project Odessa and Starlight’s resistance, Marie Moreau might be the only Gen V supe who survives the virus in the fight against Homlander.

Given that Homelander might take over the White House and launch an all-out war against non-supes and non-believers, the Gen V group will have to make their way into The Boys.

4 Who Is Manipulating Whom in Season 5?

Season 5 of The Boys takes mind games to another level, not knowing who is manipulating whom in a game of power. Sister Sage appears to be manipulating Homelander while enjoying her authority. Oh Father might be manipulating Homelander to religious extremism using his powers.

Inside the Boys, Butcher appears to be playing his own game in attempting to manipulate the crew into destroying V1. Episode 4 saw the group air out all their frustration and pent-up rage, so are they now closer than ever or on the verge of tearing apart?

5 When Will Butcher Fight Homelander?

Everybody is waiting for the final showdown between Butcher and Homelander. After the events of Season 4, Butcher is now a supe, meaning he feels ready to take on the villain. The entire show has tiptoed around this epic clash of two people who despise the guts out of one another.

Episode 4 of Season 5 had a satisfying moment where Butcher confronted a sick Homelander, telling him that he would be the one to kill him. Homelander fires back that Butcher’s supe-killing virus threat is a lie.

The Boys Season 5 has been explosive and dynamic as we head towards the endgame. These crucial questions have to be answered over the next four episodes in quick succession before the beloved Prime Video series comes to an end.
