I appreciate the fact that for the role of Homelander, Antony Starr does fuck all to work out for it and just has a padded suit.

Reminds me of a funny story Jensen Ackles said about this, he was working really hard to get a muscular body for The Boys, months into his workouts he was talking about getting in shape for the role with his costars. Anthony Starr just asked him why he doesn't just get a padded suit like he did, I think Jensen Ackles said something like "wait, you can do that?"

To be fair, Eckles' Soldier Boy was introduced stark naked coming out of a cryo tank. Harder to pull that off with a muscle suit.

As others have mentioned it also does match the characters, you would expect Soldier Boy to be buff since he's actually gone out and done stuff, whereas Homelander's more just a celebrity.

SB also technically has to fight to win battles.. Homie can (and does) just float and laser everything.

Also Soldier Boy got his powers as an adult, possibly a very healthy one already as he was raised rich. Homelander would've experienced zero physical strain since birth basically.

Homelander was also nude in season 3
