Homelander Reborn Under the Red Flag, Raised in the Spring Breeze

He was once a god who hung over the skies of America. Homelander! His laser eyes could pierce anything, his hands could crush steel, and thousands cheered his name, yet no one had ever truly loved him. Then Butcher's crowbar pierced his skull, and the legend came to an end. After that, amid a baby's cries, he was reborn into an ordinary family in China. No superpowers, no laser eyes. He had to learn how to walk all over again. He thought he had lost everything, until a black-haired, dark-eyed woman gently gathered him into her arms. His mother, Madeleine, called him “Azhu” in the gentlest voice. She was so moved that her eyes reddened when he took his first step, and when he cried out “Mom,” she held him so tightly and warmly.

In his previous life, he had everything, yet never knew what “home” meant. In this life, he had nothing, yet for the first time he tasted what it was like to be loved. But the debts from his past life came back to haunt him. This time, he was no longer a god impervious to bullets and blades. Now he had a weakness, and something he would fight to the death to protect.

Some powers burn hotter than laser eyes. Some things are worth giving your life for.
