The Boys[]
"John" is the name that was given to the genetically bred super-human who came to be known as The Homelander. He was raised in a controlled and secure environment by scientists working for Vought International. Growing up, everyone referred to him as John, though he was never given a proper surname. As an adult, he identified himself as and introduced himself to others only as Homelander. Vought's hero management VP Madelyn Stillwell was the only person who ever called him John during his time as leader of the super-hero team known as The Seven.
V[]

John was an alien member of the race known as the Visitors. He was the Supreme Commander of the Visitor expedition that came to the planet Earth in the early 1980s. Like all Visitors, John had a reptilian biology, but disguised himself as a humanoid when in the presence of other Earth humans. He was murdered by one of his own lieutenants, Diana, who sought to assume command of the fleet herself.
The Walking Dead[]
Alexandrian[]

John was a white male in his mid thirties living in the U.S. state of Virginia. During the years following the fall of society as a result of a zombie apocalypse, he became a member of a community called the Alexandria Safe-Zone. John was part of a munitions group that helped Eugene Porter manufacture ammunition. John handed over two full boxes of ammunition to the group's leader, Rick Grimes. (Walking Dead 115)
During an ongoing battle against another group called the Saviors, John was working in the munitions work shop when he went outside to urinate - against Eugene's sound protest. John ignored him, and was attacked by Roamers. He managed to scramble back inside, but they overtook him, ultimately devouring him. (Walking Dead 121)
Savior[]

John was an African American man with one eye in his apparent mid-late thirties living in the U.S. state of Virginia. During the years following the fall of society as a result of a zombie apocalypse, he aligned himself with a group called the Saviors, which was controlled by a man named Negan. He was one of the original members of the group and was often seen with a woman named Tara. John and Tara had an altercation with Paul Monroe of the Hilltop Colony, which resulted in Paul's capture. John survived the prolonged war between the Saviors and the other communities including the Alexandria Safe-Zone and the Kingdom. During this time, another Savior named Dwight switched sides, and Negan was captured. John and Tara remained at the Saviors' Sanctuary and engaged in skirmishes with Rick Grimes' group, even up until the point of the war with the Whisperers.
