Billy Butcher asesina a Homelander después de arrebatarle sus poderes. Su propósito está completo: el final del juego. Del polvo eres (y al polvo volverás).

Billy has made a deal with Stan Edgar. Heavy one that is. He has to leave USA and take his "toy" with him. He was allowed that one wish. Just leave Vought alone, don't try to fuck with company again.
