As viewers keep up with The Boys Season 4, a few have argued that the series reached its peak during a specific confrontation in Season 3.
Despite The Boys Season 4 showcasing some of the most disgusting moments of the series thus far, many viewers argue that the peak of the show actually occurred in the previous season.
In Season 3, Episode 6 ‘Herogasm,’ the ongoing power struggle between Homelander and Billy Butcher reached its climax, as was frequently portrayed throughout the third season.
The epic showdown between Butcher, Homelander, Soldier Boy, and a surprise member of The Boys during Herogasm has solidified its place as one of the top five shocking moments of Season 3, and rightfully so.

The main focus of Herogasm revolves around a massive orgy organized by the TNT Twins, members of Payback and former allies of Soldier Boy. They ultimately betrayed him and handed him over to the Russians, who subsequently froze him in cryosleep.
Hughie, Butcher, and Solider Boy made their way to the TNT Twins’ residence, where they were shocked to find a multitude of superheroes partaking in extremely unconventional sexual activities with both each other and members of the community.
The superpower orgy was definitely a spectacle, but the most exciting moment occurred towards the end of the episode when Homelander, Solider Boy, Butcher, and a naked Hughie, all fueled by Temp-V, engaged in a perilous battle.
The viewers witnessed Homelander in a vulnerable position for the first time during the three-on-one fight. Solider Boy had almost used his depowering chest laser on him before he managed to escape.
According to one fan who posted, many viewers consider this fight scene to be the pinnacle of the show. Another fan even commented that it gave them an intense feeling of excitement.
A different viewer commented, “In my opinion, I doubt that any episode of Boys will ever surpass this one. It was flawless and all the Herogasm elements were simply a diversion for the Ultimate Showdown.”
A third fan elaborated on why the scene remains unparalleled compared to other violent fights in the series, stating, “It is the greatest fight ever. It was the first time Homelander experienced defeat and realized that those he saw as equals or weaker were actually stronger than him. In that moment, Homelander’s ego was challenged as he realized, ‘Oh crap, they can actually hurt me.’”
Despite his immense power, Herogasm’s final fight served as a reminder to fans that Homelander was not invincible and could potentially face death, making the moment a memorable one even years after its occurrence.
