Homelander deafened Blindspot by clapping or striking his ears after Blindspot was being considered for The Seven. The scene is widely described as Homelander attacking him to assert control over Ashley and Vought, and Blindspot is later said to have gone missing in a Vought cover story.[2][3][9]
What happened
Blindspot was introduced as a potential new member of The Seven, and Homelander reacted violently when he saw him training. He hit Blindspot in a way that damaged his hearing, leaving him screaming in pain and effectively disabling his superhero skill set.[1][9][2]
What Vought said
Later in-universe reporting claimed Blindspot was missing after an overseas mission in Argentina, which is presented as a cover-up rather than the real explanation. The public story does not admit Homelander’s role.[3][5]
Current takeaway
The latest coverage still treats this as one of Homelander’s most brutal early acts: he permanently or near-permanently maimed Blindspot to show he controlled The Seven.[7][2]
