The Boys Season 2: Who Is Blindspot? | Den of Geek
We barely had time to meet Blindspot! Homelander took out the The Boys' version of Daredevil in a heartbeat during Season 2's opening episode
www.denofgeek.comFrom what’s widely discussed in The Boys fandom and coverage, Homelander maimed Blindspot by crushing Blindspot’s ears during a training/meet-and-try moment, effectively taking away Blindspot’s enhanced hearing and ability to use his echolocation. This act was portrayed as a brutal assertion of control by Homelander over the Seven and Vought’s recruitment process, and it sparked significant shock and discussion among fans and critics.

Context and quick recap
- Blindspot is introduced as a Daredevil-inspired hero who is blind but relies on superhuman hearing and echolocation. Homelander’s action is treated as a deliberate attack on his disability and a message about who runs The Seven.[1][3]
- The public-facing explanation later frames Blindspot’s disappearance as the result of this maiming, with in-universe news segments confirming his injury and retirement from consideration for The Seven.[2]
- Critics and fans often cite the scene as one of Homelander’s stark, unsettling displays of power and lack of empathy, underscoring his volatile and domineering nature.[3][9]
