WhileThe Boys ' showrunner , Eric Kripke , has confirm theHomelander clone storyline wo n’t be adapted on TV , time of year 4 , episode 4 ’s major Easter egg has catch fire venture thatThe Boyscould be introducing Vought ’s Homelander replacement sometime in the near future of the series .

The Boys Season 4, Episode 4 Teases A Secret Vought Project
But Details Are Still Scarce
InThe Boysseason 4 , episode 4 , Homelander revisits his older home , with that being a lab that he was held in by Vought . The lab was specially build up to contain Homelander , with it being used to test his power and grow him into Vought ’s premiere supe weapon . Upon his arriver , it is decipherable that the lab is still dynamic , with scientist still hard at work on Vought ’s surreptitious projection . Interestingly , a Vought memorandum can be seen in this laboratory , with it mentioning a yet - unknown Vought initiative known as Project Odessa .
This isthe first time that Project Odessa has been mentioned inThe Boysso far , and since it is n’t part of the original comic serial , it is a complete mystery as to what this project could be . Vought has worked on all kinds of mystic project throughoutThe Boysuniverse , such asGen V ’s The Woods adroitness , but a few of the details in this memo and its connexion to Homelander ’s inception bespeak to it being a significant storyline in the future of the show . Thus , it is wholly possible that Project Odessa is a mission to create the next Homelander .
asunder from walking through supe satire , military action , and drama , Amazon ’s The Boys season 4 also features some memorable Sung in some of its good tantrum .
Project Odessa Would Answer A Major Question About Homelander’s Old Lab
Why Are The Old Scientists Still There?
Although Project Odessa is still a mystery , it being a projection designed to create a raw Homelander would answer a major question about Homelander ’s old lab . Despite it having been decade since Homelander was released from Vought ’s science laboratory , many of the same scientists are still working in the same placement . It ’s unusual that these Vought figure have n’t had a alteration of engagement in decades , and it seemed as if Homelander knew that he would find these scientists here .
However , if Vought is attempting to make an update edition of Homelander , it would make sense for them to utilize the same facility that led to the creation of the original Homelander . One counterargument is that the Project Odessa memo could be an old one from the meter of the original Homelander ’s creation . However , this memoranda specifically mention social medium , mean that the world of Homelander or even Soldier Boy would be too honest-to-goodness for this memo to discuss them . Instead , Project Odessa has to be a new task utilizing the original Homelander technology .
Why Project Odessa Could Be Homelander’s Replacement
It Replaces The Comics' Black Noir Story
It is entirely possible that Project Odessa could be Homelander ’s successor , as the hints withinThe Boysseason 4 , sequence 4 seem to point to this . InThe Boyscomics , it is revealed that Black Noir is on the Q.T. a knockoff of Homelander that Vought created as a contingency plan . Although it was carry that the show would follow this plot line as well , Amazon ’s Black Noir go bad inThe Boysseason 3 , with it being revealed that he was not a Homelander clone . Because of this , the knockoff level will have to be told in a different way , and Project Odessa could follow that course .
The “Odessa” Name Has A Big Connection To Vought’s History
It Comes From A Real Nazi Organization
Interestingly , the Odessa name has a big connecter to Vought ’s history , hinting that this could truly be a major project . During World War II , ODESSA was the codename of a group of Nazis who had escape plans in the final days of the state of war , with them want to get out of the land before they could be capture and tried . Thus , it probably is n’t a coincidence that Vought ’s founding father Frederick Vought was also a Nazi who take flight Germany after World War II , meaning that he could have been part of the ODESSA organization .
However , the aforementioned mention of societal media means thatFrederick Vought was dead long before Project Odessa was create . Interestingly , there is one other prospect who could be behind it . After all , a major Nazi villain who work for Vought was around up until season 3 : Stormfront . Disillusioned with Homelander ’s more and more erratic behaviour , Stormfront could have created Project Odessa in an attempt to give Vought a new Homelander , with her overseeing the project up untilStormfront ’s death inThe Boysseason 3 .
With The Boys ' concluding season on the horizon and hints pelt into season 4 , it feel certain this character will die by the end of season 5 .

It Makes Sense That Vought Would Want An Improved Version Of Homelander
They Could Finally Control Him
The creation of a Homelander 2.0 would n’t be a surprising move for Vought , as it in reality makes perfect horse sense based on Homelander ’s story so far . Homelander has become increasingly erratic and far more grievous in recent seasons , with him essentially staging a coup and ousting Stan Edgar from Vought . Homelander is fundamentally doing whatever he require , and nobody can stop him - yet .
If Vought create a Homelander replacement , then this better variant could be used as a Vought arm against the original Homelander . The fact that Vought was work on a virus that was designate to change state supes into obedient zombies at Godolkin only further back this theory , as it would explicate why Vought would be more confident in a Homelander replacement . While this plot line is just now commence to be tease , the estimate of Vought developing a second Homelander in future episode ofThe Boysis a scary possibleness that could go wrongly in so many ways .
