InThe Boyscomic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson , Homelander is in reality the merchandise of Stormfront , as the Supe was made by Vought - American using the Nazi ’s DNA . So it reach sense whyHomelander is so powerful , as Stormfront ’s superpowers , including the power to keep in line electrical energy and lightning , make him one of the substantial Supes . However , evenThe Boyshave fuss taking down Stormfront , as he puts The Female in a comatoseness while hurting the other members of the team during their attack on Payback .
While the reading ofStormfront inThe Boystelevision series is certainly powerfuland often oblige her own in battles against other Supes , she never quite achieve the same heights as her comic counterpart . Her lightning power do n’t hit nearly as hard . InThe Boyscomic series , Stormfront order among Homelander , Queen Maeve , and Black Noir as the population ’s most powerful Supes . Being used as the template to create Homelander shows how strong he truly is .

However , the change meant , unlike inThe Boyscomics , Stormfront never rivaledHomelanderwhen it came to world power . It would have been fun to see her at her full exponent level .
