In the bloody, raunchy, gooey and frequently oh-so-wrong world of "The Boys," Antony Starr’s Homelander is a psychotic version of Superman beloved by his human followers. Homelander is the star of a show that begins from the moment the world awakens until we all sleep. We're not even extras — we're expendable. Especially people of color.
But like America itself and the game show host obsessed with ruling it, Homelander isn't above acknowledging marginalized folks' usefulness. Enter Susan Heyward’s character Sister Sage, created specifically for the TV show. Sage is the most intelligent sentient being on the planet. In comic book terms, she's on par with Brainiac or Lex Luthor, two supervillains who have forced DC Comics’ greatest heroes to destroy a lot of property and natural landscapes in the name of saving humankind.
