In the vast realm of comic book history, there have been several powerful and iconic superheroes, and DC’s Superman certainly occupies a high rank among them. One of the greatest characters of all time, fans of the Kryptonian hero have often stated that he can champion and defeat even the evilest of evil characters.
And so while there has been debate about whether Superman can defeat a certain Marvel or Anime character or not, his evil twin from the Dynamite Entertainment comics Homelander too has found his way into the discourse. And Antony Starr, who portrays Homelander inThe Boysseries, thinks his character would definitely defeat the DC hero. Yet, fans have conclusive proof that Superman is better, bigger, and bolder than Homelander when it comes to defeating evil.
Antony Starr Believes Homelander Can Defeat Superman
Ever since Homelander, a parody of Superman, made his debut in 2007, there has been an ongoing debate about which character is more powerful. Just like Superman,The Boys’Homelander has superhuman strength, speed, laser beams, and the ability to fly.

While he lacks the DC hero’s moral compass and unwavering dedication to justice, he is pure evil at his core making him even more formidablesince there are no limits controlling him. Just a while back,The Boys’starJack Quaid(who voices Superman inMy Adventures with Superman) had said in an interview withScreenRantthat the Man of Steel can easily defeat Homelander.
Responding to his co-star’s comments,Antony Starr, who portrays the evil supes inThe Boys, stated toScreenRant,
Oh, really? Is that what he thinks? Here’s why Homelander would kick Superman’s ass. There’s no Kryptonite factor, and Homie 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. He’s the dirty dude, man. Whereas Superman is always like, ‘Oh, I wouldn’t do that. Oh, there’s innocent children that might get hurt.’ Homie’s going to human shield himself with the kids.
Since there are no chains of morality binding Homelander, he is sure to do anything to win over Superman. But if one were to take a look at the DC character’s comic book history and compare it to Homelander’s run, whether on-paper or off-paper, there is no doubt that Kal-El would defeatThe Boys’titular antagonist.
