‘The Boys’ Debut Homelander NFT Trading Cards Spoofing Donald Trump

Prime Video’s hit series “The Boys” posted a fake NFT trading card of Homelander parodying Donald Trump’s recent move.

Homelander can come home with you for the holidays, thanks to Vought International’s superhero NFT trading card that parodies a certain someone’s 2024 presidential campaign.

Prime Video series “The Boys” took to Twitter to spoof Donald Trump’s viral digital trading card that depicted the former president as a superhero, an astronaut, an Old West sheriff and other costumed characters.

“Big announcement: Official Homelander digital trading cards have arrived!” Vought International Twitter page posted. “Celebrate our greatest hero’s life and crime-fighting career by owning an authentic and non-fungible JPEG of him. Buy now for 777 VoughtCoin while you still can!”

The image shows Anthony Starr as Homelander in a similar pose to Trump, with the Vought headquarters in the background.

While Trump shared in a video that the $99 digital products were like baseball cards, the non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital files that have an incentive trading approach, thanks to Trump’s campaign: Collect 45 or more cards, and customers can receive a ticket to a gala at Trump’s South Florida resort, as reported by The New York Times. The move was roasted by late-night TV hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers on their respective shows.

“The Boys” recently gave a sneak peek at Season 4, with the introduction of two new supers, Firecracker (Valorie Curry) and Sister Sage (Susan Heyward). Jeffrey Dean Morgan also joins the cast.

The upcoming season is currently in production and may include even more Trump references if the Twitter post is any indication.

“The Boys” showrunner and executive producer Eric Kripke revealed to Weekly entertainment that Season 4 “will really be this tug of war for Ryan, as both men are really trying to get him,” referring to Homelander (Starr) and Butcher (Karl Urban) trying to steer Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) in the right direction. Will Ryan choose to follow his psychopathic biological father Homelander, or his vigilante quasi-stepfather Butcher?

“The Boys” college spin-off “Gen V” is also in the works for America’s only college exclusively for young adult superheroes.

According to an official synopsis, “Gen V” is an “irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they test their physical, sexual and moral limits, competing for the best contracts in the best cities. It is part college show, part “Hunger Games” — with all the heart, satire and goofiness of “The Boys.” The cast includes Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh , Asa Germann , Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas and Marco Pigossi.
