Homelander holds his hand up to quiet a crowd, looking behind him in irritation.
With the final season of The Boys on the way, the conversations about who could and couldn't beat the main antagonist—overpowered, too—of the series, Homelander . Thanks to how strong and absolutely ruthless he is, the conversations are all over, wondering which heroes or villains from each superhero universe could wipe the floor with Homelander.
Hero vs. hero discussions are always so much fun to have, but what's better than that? Seeing which heroes could beat a villain from another universe, and when it comes to superhero content lately, there are few more diabolical than the likes of The Boys' biggest baddie. What makes this discussion so fun is the fact that while Homelander may be extremely powerful, he has weaknesses socially and mentally, which make for some fun matchups. Scarlet Witch Much like Superman, Homelander is weak to magic far more than the likes of physical attacks, which means that the strongest sorcerer in the Marvel Comics world has more than enough chances to completely obliterate him. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe—depicted in Avengers: Endgame—Scarlet Witch almost murders the Mad Titan, Thanos , with relatively ease. What sets her apart from the Master of the Mystic Arts himself, Doctor Strange , is the fact that, much like Homelander, Wanda Maximoff is ruthless. While it took a little bit for her to reach this point in the MCU, this sorceress is cold-blooded and will never hesitate to do what needs to be done. She is also quite fragile mentally—also akin to Homelander—which has led to things like her breaking down and wiping out all mutants on the planet by simply muttering the words,"No more mutants." The Boys' villain does not walk out of this one. Deku To be fair, despite how much stronger than Homelander that Deku is, this would, honestly, still be a tough fight. Much like Deku's greatest villains, Homelander is absolutely ruthless, never holding back, which the young hero is not like. That doesn't mean he can't fight people like this, though—he's actually extremely adept at doing it, at that. With a huge handful of powers at his disposal, the World's Greatest Hero would be able to come out on top, easily. To be honest, Izuku would probably do nothing but piss Homelander off throughout this entire fight, which helps the young hero a lot, actually. This kid believes wholeheartedly in saving people, no matter what they've done—to him, redemption is not impossible—and hearing him talk about this in reference to Homelander would probably greatly throw the villain out of kilter, which would make him very vulnerable mid-fight. Silver Surfer What non-comic book aficionados may not know is that within the Marvel Comics universe, there are few stronger than the likes of the iconic, shiny hero, the Silver Surfer. While the character's sheer power has yet to be shown on screen in full, comic book fans know the absurd strength he has. He is filled to the brim with what's known as the Power Cosmic: an unlimited source of cosmic energy he can consistently draw from and never run out of. The Silver Surfer himself once said,"To wield the Power Cosmic is to be in touch with every other living thing, at once." On his shiny surfboard, Norrin Radd can also move unfathomably fast. Once, he traveled around half a million light years in mere seconds. Homelander probably wouldn't even be able to blink, let alone keep his eyes on Silver Surfer during this fight. If they adapted the comic iteration of the surfer himself in movies like Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the runtime would be far shorter. Ben 10 On first impression, some may think,"Ben isn't as ruthless as Homelander, he'll have a tough time," but they'd actually be wrong. Fun fact, even as a 10-year-old, Ben Tennyson , does not have a"no kill rule." In fact, he kills multiple times in the original Ben 10 series. Modern, 16-year-old Ben , has the perfected Omnitrix, which holds the DNA of 1,000,903 aliens. That's over a million aliens that he can turn into with a variety of powers.Ben even has an alien that once survived the destruction of the entire universe and rebuilt an almost exact copy of it with no sweat, Alien X . That alien alone can wipe Homelander out of existence without a second thought—especially now that he has full control of the alien in Ben 10: Omniverse—but he has a large array of others that could definitely beat him, too. Not to mention, he's also unkillable. The Omnitrix has a failsafe that doesn't allow its user to be killed, and turns them into whatever alien is necessary to keep the wearer alive. He's unable to die. Good luck, Homelander.Are You? Light Side · Dark Side · Or Somewhere Between The Force is not a binary. It is a spectrum — from the serene halls of the Jedi Temple to the shadowed corridors of Sith space. Ten questions will reveal where you truly fall. The Force has always known. Now you will too. 🔵Jedi Master 🟡Padawan 🔴Sith Lord ⚫Inquisitor ⚪Grey Jedi IGNITE YOUR SABER → QUESTION 1 / 10THE FORCE 01 What is the Force to you? Your relationship with the Force defines everything else. AA living energy I must be worthy of — it is not mine to control. BSomething vast and mysterious I'm only beginning to understand. CNeither light nor dark — just a current I choose to ride. DPower. Pure and simple. The strong take it; the weak don't. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 10EMOTION 02 When you feel strong emotions — anger, grief, love — what do you do? The Jedi suppress. The Sith feed. Others choose differently. AAcknowledge them, then release them. Attachment leads to suffering. BFeel them fully, then decide what to do — they're not the enemy. CBury them. Emotion is a liability I can't afford to indulge. DUse them. Passion is the engine of the dark side for good reason. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 10AUTHORITY 03 The Jedi Council gives you an order you disagree with. You: How you handle authority reveals your alignment. AFollow it. The Council's wisdom surpasses my own perspective. BVoice my objection clearly, then defer to the decision. CComply outwardly while doing what I think is right. DIgnore it. The strong don't answer to committees. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 10TEMPTATION 04 You are offered forbidden knowledge that could give you enormous power. The cost is crossing a moral line. You: The dark side's pull is never more than a choice away. ARefuse without hesitation. There is no cost worth that price. BWeigh it carefully — sometimes darkness holds real answers. CFeel the pull but walk away — for now. DAccept it. Power justifies the method used to obtain it. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 10TRAINING 05 Your approach to training and learning is: A student's habits become a master's character. ADedicated but humble. There is always more to learn from my masters. BRigorous and patient. Mastery is earned through years of discipline. CEclectic — I draw from every tradition, not just one. DRelentless and brutal. Pain accelerates growth. Rest is weakness. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 10COMBAT 06 In a duel, your lightsaber fighting style reflects: Combat is the purest expression of a Force user's philosophy. ADefense and composure — I wait for my opponent to overcommit. BFast and instinctive — I trust the Force to guide my movements. CUnpredictable — I blend styles to keep enemies off-balance. DOverwhelming aggression — I end fights before they begin. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 10COMPASSION 07 A defeated enemy lies at your feet, powerless. You: Mercy — or its absence — is the truest test of alignment. AStrike them down — compassion toward enemies is naïve and costly. BNeutralize them permanently. I can't afford loose ends. CSpare them if I can — but stay clear-eyed about the risks. DOffer them a chance to surrender. Every being deserves that. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 10ATTACHMENT 08 The Jedi Code forbids attachment. Your honest view on love and bonds: The source of the greatest falls in the galaxy. AThe Code is right. Attachment clouds judgment and invites suffering. BLove is not a weakness — the Jedi Code got this one wrong. CI have no attachment — only loyalty to my master's mission. DI feel it deeply but struggle to reconcile it with my training. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 9 / 10PURPOSE 09 Why do you use the Force at all? What's the point? Purpose is the difference between a knight and a weapon. ATo learn. I'm still figuring out what I'm capable of. BTo protect and serve. The Force is a responsibility, not a gift. CTo survive — and maybe carve out something worth having. DTo dominate. Strength demands to be expressed, not contained. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 10 / 10THE CHOICE 10 At the final moment — light side or dark side pulling at you — what wins? In the end, every Force user faces this moment. What does yours look like? AThe light. I choose peace, even when darkness would be easier. BNeither fully — I carve my own path through the middle. CWhoever I serve — my loyalty defines me more than my morality. DThe dark. Power is the only thing that's ever actually been real. REVEAL MY ALIGNMENT → Your Alignment Has Been Determined Your Place in the Force The scores below reveal how the Force sees you. Your highest number is your true alignment. Read on to understand what that means — and what it will cost you. 🔵 Jedi Master 🟡 Padawan 🔴 Sith Lord ⚫ Inquisitor ⚪ Grey Jedi JEDI MASTER Disciplined, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the living Force, you have walked the path long enough to understand its demands — and accept them. You lead not through authority alone, but through example. You have felt the pull of the dark side and chosen otherwise, every time. That is not certainty. That is courage. PADAWAN You are earnest, powerful, and brimming with potential — and you know it, which is both your greatest asset and your most dangerous flaw. You act before you think, trust your gut over your training, and sometimes confuse impatience for bravery. The Masters see something in you, though. The question isn't whether you have what it takes — it's whether you'll be patient enough to find out. SITH LORD You are not simply dangerous — you are certain, and that is worse. You have decided what the galaxy needs, and you have decided you are the one to deliver it. Your power is genuine and formidable, earned through sacrifice that would have broken lesser beings. But examine your victories carefully. Every Sith believed their cause was righteous. The dark side's cruelest trick is that it agrees with you. INQUISITOR You were forged in fire and reshaped by those who found you at your lowest. You serve, because service gave you structure when you had none. Your allegiance is not to an ideology — it is to survival and to the master who gave you purpose. But there is something buried beneath the conditioning. The Jedi you hunt? You recognize them. Because you remember what it felt like before the choice was taken from you. GREY JEDI You have looked at the Jedi Code and the Sith Code and found both of them incomplete. You walk the line not out of indecision but out of conviction — you genuinely believe both extremes miss something essential. The Jedi don't fully trust you. The Sith think you're wasting your potential. They're both partially right. But so are you. ↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ Sentry/Void After decades of waiting, Marvel Comics fans finally got to bask in the glory of seeing the power of Sentry depicted on the big screen in Thunderbolts*. Sentry is commonly considered the Superman of Marvel Comics, and for very good reason. He's absurdly powerful, and can get even more powerful with his Void half. He's arguably far stronger than Homelander. He's even been said to have the"power of a million exploding suns"—even more depending on his emotional/mental state at the time. Even without the comic book evidence, he more than proved in Thunderbolts* that he has some strength unlike anything the MCU has even seen. He was even claimed to be stronger than all the Avengers combined. Hulk The Hulk has nigh-unlimited strength. His power grows with his rage, so as long as he is angry—ideally continuously growing more angry by the second—he is absurdly powerful. Hulk would, without a doubt, wipe the floor with Homelander. He's thrashed multiple gods around, fought the legendary Fenrir in close combat and won, and, in the comics, held up an entire—gigantic—mountain for an elongated amount of time. Not to forget, he has a healing factor unlike any other—besides the likes of Deadpool and Wolverine —having been eaten by a bunch of radiated cockroaches all the way down to his skeleton, and regenerated back to perfect health. There is genuinely nothing Homelander could do to come out on top, even against the MCU iteration of the hero. Sure, he could get knocked out, but even if Homelander tried to kill Banner, the Hulk would emerge and continue the fight. Ghost Rider Akin to Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider is another hero that many people in general audiences don't know is one of the most powerful Marvel heroes of all time. He would especially be perfect to fight Homelander because of one ability of his, and one alone: his Penance Stare. The Penance Stare will instantly punish the victims of their sins, of which this villain has more than plenty. It inflicts the same amount of pain and suffering that they have inflicted on others. One of his only weaknesses is weapons of holy power. He can also manipulate Hellfire, which can scorch a person's soul and become physical weapons and enhance things like how it upgrades his motorcycle. Said Hellfire also makes him pretty much invulnerable, regenerating any part of him that is destroyed. Thor Odinson He's a god. A literal god. There is no shot on Earth that Homelander can go up against a god. Thor is arguably the strongest Avenger in the MCU, despite what Hulk may argue. Said version of the character, who is way less powerful than the comic book one, withstood and survived the full-force blast of an entire star in Avengers: Infinity War—being saved from death simply from equipping his weapon. His weapons also cannot be broken by Homelander, regardless of how strong he is. Being made of Uru metal, his hammer, Mjölnir, and axe, Stormbreaker, are unbreakable by anyone of non-godly power. Thor could simply drop his hammer on Homelander's chest, and he'd be unable to do anything to move. It'd be that easy. Superman If a character is commonly pitted against the profoundly powerful Goku in fan discussions, and has people genuinely arguing about who would win, they must be genuinely one of the most powerful characters in fiction. That character is none other than DC's golden boy, Superman, the Man of Steel. So long as Superman has access to the sun, he can keep fighting. Being fueled by the power of Earth's yellow sun, Superman is extremely powerful when on Earth, especially. Like Hulk, he has near-limitless physical strength, with magic and kryptonite being pretty much his only major weaknesses—both of which Homelander has zero access to. Omni-Man Now that Omni-Man is siding with the side of good alongside Allen the Alien , it can be argued he can be considered a superhero. He is one of the most common matchups for Homelander in superhero fan discussion, and everyone can unanimously agree that he would abundantly destroy Homelander. He's ruthless, and has even wiped out almost the entire population of a planet. Viltrumites are some of, if not the strongest, beings in the entire Invincible universe. He's faster, stronger, smarter, and more stable than Homelander. He's everything that The Boys villain wants to be and thinks he is. There shouldn't even be a question of whether he could come out on top.
