Their relationship was fairly disturbing because, though Homelander was definitely attracted to her, he also saw her as a mother-figure.
The only person who could really keep him in check was Madelyn Stillwell, The Seven’s manager.
All throughout Season 1, Homelander, the terrifying leader of the elite superhero team called The Seven, proved himself a mentally unstable and hot-tempered man.
Suffice it to say that the freaky nature of their relationship is on full display in a video made to, uh, celebrate Mother’s Day.
