The Boys' Homelander is perhaps the best example of what would happen if Superman used his powers for self-gain. He isn't necessarily evil in the sense that he wants to take over the world, but, he is a tyrant who will stop at nothing to get what he wants - the people in The Boys' universe are just lucky that he's not hell-bent on world domination. At least, not yet anyway.
Because of how unlike Homelander is to DC Comics' poster boy in terms of personality, yet is so similar in terms of power, fans have been wondering for a while what would happen if these two powerhouses ever duked it out to the death.
While it's not easy to answer this hypothetical question, The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke believes that Homelander could take out Superman.
How will Homelander defeat Superman?
As the cape-wielding leader of the self-serving superhero team, The Seven, Homelander embodies everything that is wrong with superheroes in The Boys. On the other hand, Superman is a paragon of the superhero genre and is the standard against which pretty much every other superhero is measured. As the two are the most powerful heroes in their respective universes, it's only fair to wonder what would happen if these two fought.
