at least that's the only resolution to her arc that I can see, given that if they become permanent allies then the rest of the world is just completely screwed. nobody else can even come close to scratching either of them, unless that telekinetic girl's got another level of explodey in her. heck I don't even know why Female's brother didn't try to use his force crush on her...he had sufficient power to flip a large boat, that should have been enough to do some bodily damage to even a high level supe.
I don't think Homelander will necessarily be wearing a uniform with a nazi emblem. However, I do think he's been converted to Stormfront's racialist beliefs. He clearly was already leaning heavily that way anyways. For him, being a blond superman who sees himself as superior, it's a small jump. He's basically taking the move

As far as taking them down, if you have someone who can take down one of them, you can take down both. It would just be a matter of engaging them separately or turning them against each other. With two people who are totally self-orientated, that isn't such a huge feat. I don't see them as a totally unified front. It's pretty clear that Homeland sees himself as superior to everyone, including other people of the same race. Although I guess you could argue his attitude also arises from an inferiority complex of some kind too.
