Things you probably don’t know about homelander
This list includes things that only comic readers of the boys know about him or those things that were present in the series and the comic but were too little to notice.
He can’t see through Zinc
Despite Homelander’s superpower of supervision, he cannot see through Zinc. This incident also shows that the homelander action figure is inspired by Superman, as he cannot see through the lead either.
Fan of Bee Gees
Both comic readers and amazon prime video watchers know this fact. He is serious, chaotic, and has led a murderous life. Homelander was seen in the comic and series that he walks through the seven’s headquarters singing staying alive by the bee gees, which shows that he is a fan of bee gees.
He abandons the plane and lets it crash
He tried saving the plane that was about to get crash. The plane was about to hit the twin towers, and he failed to save it, so he abandoned it. He killed the terrorists but finally let it crash into the Brooklyn Bridge.
Fear of Stillwell
A character in this story is James Stillwell, the homelander who he is scared of and tries to impress him. James Stillwell is an executive at Vought-America. James is also an assistant of the CEO, Mr. Edgar. He is always so calm and full of intellect. He became an opponent to the homelander’s thoughts. Since Stillwell is not affected, he becomes desperate to please and impress Stillwell. After the supes plan, Stillwell attempts suicide so he doesn’t have to get bored and stay unimpressed about the supes plans.
Killed the president
His first act of war was when he invaded the white house. Butcher found homelandee, who was sitting at the president’s desk. He decorated the president’s office with homelander with bodies, blood, and organs. When butcher enters, he throws the former U.S. president’s head at him, and he notices a hole in the back, showing that he sexually assaulted the cut-off head.
Superheroes that are stronger than homelander
Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel can absorb energy attacks towards her making her powerful and all the energy attacks against her useless. The biggest weapon that he has is his heat vision which captain marvel can withstand. Despite the heat vision, homelander only has his super strength, which is way less than Captain Marvel. She has been in the air force training and has fought alongside the avengers, which makes her more robust and faster than homelander.
Hercules
He is known to be extremely powerful. When he fought against the hulk, it was a draw. He also has hundreds of years of combat experience. His strength alone makes him superior to homelander. Homelander is dependent on his superpowers, which makes him weaker. Homelander won most of his fights with the help of this superpower. If he faced an enemy as powerful as Hercules, he would lose. Also, homelander lacks combat skills.
Wonder man
Wonder man might not look like a strong character but has ionic energy. Due to his ionic energy and strength, he is compared with Thor sometimes. He is also one of the strongest avengers in existence. He also has durability. Even though wonder man is a peacemaker, he can surely win over from homelander if they were to fight. Sadly, the homelander’s heat vision wouldn’t be helpful for him because wonder man is used to standing against this many blasts. He can withstand the homelander’s biggest weapon, the heat vision, which means he would surely win.
Black Bolt
His strength is beyond this universe. He is on the same level as hulk. His exceptional quality is his powerful voice that destroys various things that are even far away from him. He can destroy entire planets with his compelling voice. He has even survived a bomb during the war of king’s event. Black bolt’s extreme strength puts him on another level, way above that of homelander. His leading power, the heat vision, wouldn’t help him because black bolt has survived bombs and a lot more than those heat visions. Black bolt’s insanely loud and powerful voice can end the homelander’s existence.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, homelandet is a unique character who is severe yet chaotic. Homelandet has certain people he wants to impress, such as Stillwell, and there are also people that he hates. He has unique superpowers that help him win various fights. Still, he would also lose to some of the superheroes mentioned above and more superheroes do not present above because he is too dependent on his superpowers. He lacks many skills, such as combat skills or military training.
He is an inspiration and entertaining to many people due to his acts. Randomly singing staying alive by the bee gees despite his serious character entertains and makes the audience curious about his character. Although he is the opponent and the evilest character in the show, he still made a lot of fans due to his acts and performance. Homelander is more devilish in the series than in the comic, and homelander the boys, which is the series, was probably watched more by the audience than in the comic. However, still, people like and adore his character.
