Soldier Boy only looks out for himself since day one. His father told him that he was a disappointment because he fluked school, so he took Compound V a drug that gives the user superhuman abilities. His father was still disappointed. Soldier Boy was abusive to his team Payback constantly berating Black Noir who wanted to just have some fame. His team betrayed him to the Russians and he was there for 30 years until Billy Butcher broke him out to get revenge for Homelander. Homelander is his son.
