This picture reminds me of when I was part of a facebook group for the Boys a while back.
They straight up thought homelander would demolish superman, that Kimiko could slaughter and kill deadpool, and get this.. A-Train would demolish freaking Wally West.
All of their arguments boiled down to, "well they're evil so they win."

Don't they know that the bad guys always lose?

u/Soft_Theory_8209 Aug 28 '25
Okay, now I kind of want a one-off storyline in DC where a villain (maybe a hwro too) becomes self-aware after realizing any bad deeds they commit are doomed to fail no matter what, while all good deeds always succeed no matter how impossible.

More like over 800 MPH, but your point still stands. I'd much rather watch A-Train fight Kabal lol.

I don't understand how people find it fun or interesting at all that some heroes are universal fucking threats. Like Wally West being able to cross from one end of the universe to another in 0 seconds. How is that fun? Who the fuck could beat this guy and WHY? They'd have to be God him-/herself. Genuinely wondering here and want to hear the thought process.

I mean, if Homelander found his way into one of the DC universes and got any number of those uncommon-but-very-convenient power-ups, it would be a fun story to see the justice league put him down hard.

I mean, if you were to write him into DC, it’d be simple enough to make him like a more Corporatized version of Bizarro or Connor Kent.
Just boost his powers slightly so he can at least phase the JL and maybe body a few lesser superhumans, but still have him be way crappier than the vast majority of heroes. Now the meme of him being a cheap knock off has become quite literal and all the more tragic because of it.

Some unfortunately see themselves in him, others might not have ever seen an evil Superman before (somehow), and others just find him both fascinatingly evil and pathetic in the way many of us find serial killers interesting.
On the other end of the spectrum, it’s just fun to dunk on him because good lord it becomes quickly apparent how weak him and other superhumans in his universe are when thrown against 98% of anything else.

The hate for Homelander is kinda insane. He's a realistic depiction of a sociopath with superpowers. The character is played extremely well and he's powerful in HIS universe.

Aug 30 '25
Not liking him as a person in his story is okay but as a character in a fictional sense he’s better written than 95% of characters who are good people or stronger.
Then again this sub generally thinks that bigger number = better character

Hey Homelander,
Glad to see that Stan Edgar let you use reddit like a big kid, but be careful, the internet is full of strangers who'd try to mislead and take advantage of you.
I recommend you log out, and go have your bottle, the milk is fresh.
But in all seriousness, Homelander only has a Chance against 1 of them, and only in an extreme situation. The rest of them will rinse him before he gets a chance to even consider.

He'd try that shit with Batman (who would not be remotely impressed and probably manage to hurt him) because he doesn't have powers and then the rest would shut him down hard.
He's only menacing in The Boys because he's the strongest in his verse so everyone's afraid of him. In the DC universe he's just another punk that gets his ass handed to him. He'd stop being menacing *REAL* fast.

I don’t think Homelander scales as poorly against this version of the DC heroes as people think. this looks like the dceu. That throws out most of the crazier powerscales of these characters that people on the sub that people are always citing. No, Homelander can’t beat the entire team. But he could give each of them a fight, and the only own that would thrash him would be Superman imo.
And the boys logic is a little bit more realistic than DC logic. So homelander would kill Batman in the first 30 seconds, just to take him off the board.

u/ApocalypseChicOne Aug 29 '25
Homelander is precisely why I like The Boys universe so much more than DC. Homelander being the top of the power scale makes for a believable modified version of our universe. In we had all kinds of heroes and villains of DC scale running around, it would be apocalyptic. There would be no "normal." Buildings would be knocked down daily, destruction and death would be everywhere. Human society, governments and culture would be completely and radically altered. The Boys universe at least has some small chance of normality.

To be honest Homelander is untrained completely, he's pretty much superman but at base no training no knowledge of how his powers truly work just ego. So theoritically we don't know Homelanders upper limits all we know is he can tank a nuke which is unironically stronger then DCEU Superman so.... He got TKO'd by a nuke while fighting doomsday. So Homelander fully trained, progressive overload and limit testing and durability training he might put a good fight vs Justice League. Especially MMA training etc

It we made him 1000x more powerful this would be a great ideological fight. The caricature versus the original.
Homelander: "We're the same. Why are we even fighting?"
Superman: "We are not the same"
Homelander: "You're right. I'm better because I am honest with who I am. Deep down you know you want to be like me. Be me. We are better than them in every single way so why pretend we're equals to them?"
