Did I miss them explaining what Homelanders relationship to Stillwell was? I remember thinking that she may have been a milk-maid for him and other supe babies (i.e. teddy). Was I totally off on this?


That second part is possible, but mostly she’s just a manifestation of his Mommy issues from not growing up a normal child and instead in a lab with doctors. She was likely the first female presence in his life and that messed him up

There was a brief conversation about her being his handler, and a mention about how long they had been together. I would assume she was put in place specifically because of mother issues and they used that against him. But obviously it became a bit muddled over time. She got a big role in Vaught based upon him becoming the strongest of the heroes.
