The age-old question of who would win in a fight between two super-powered beings has resurfaced, this time with Antony Starr, Homelander from “The Boys,” throwing his hat into the ring.
Fans have been buzzing about a potential showdown between Homelander and Superman ever since the gritty superhero satire “The Boys” took the world by storm. Both characters boast incredible abilities, but their moral compasses point in vastly different directions.
This fiery debate got even hotter when Jack Quaid, Starr’s co-star and the voice of Superman in the animated series “My Adventures with Superman,” declared that the Man of Steel would reign supreme.
Not one to back down, Starr confidently argued that Homelander would emerge victorious. His reasoning? Homelander’s lack of morals.
“Superman is always like, ‘Oh, I wouldn’t do that. Oh, there’s innocent children that might get hurt,'” Starr explained, referencing Superman’s unwavering dedication to protecting civilians. “Homie’s going to human shield himself with the kids.”
Starr highlights a key difference between the two heroes. Superman’s unwavering morals could be his weakness against a ruthless opponent like Homelander, who according to Starr, “would fight so dirty… He’s the type to go, ‘Oh, you got me!’ as he goes down and then comes up and throws sand in your eyes.”
The Boys has certainly established Homelander’s willingness to cross any line in the pursuit of victory. However, the debate thickens when considering the various interpretations of Superman throughout the years. Some versions of the character have grappled with darker impulses, making the fight outcome even more unpredictable.
This clash of titans is sure to be a topic of conversation for years to come, with fans passionately defending their chosen champion. With every new argument presented, the debate becomes even more intriguing. So, who will win? Only time (and maybe a comic book crossover) will tell.
