Summary

  • Homelander actor Antony Starr believes his Boys character would beat Superman in a fight due to being ruthless and dirty.
  • Starr thinks Homelander's lack of moral restraint would give him an edge over Superman, who prioritizes protecting innocents.
  • The Boys season 4 premieres on June 13 on Prime Video, offering fans a chance to see Homelander's brutal tactics in action.

My Adventures with Superman season 2 is set to premiere the first two episodes on May 25, continuing the arc for the young Man of Tomorrow.

Screen Rant recently interviewed Quaid about My Adventures with Superman season 2, where he was asked if his Superman could take down Homelander on The Boys at some point. As Quaid claimed to be the case, Screen Rant also interviewed Starr ahead of The Boys season 4, asking how he thinks a Homelander vs Superman fight would go down, as the New Zealand actor gave the following response:

Antony Starr: 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 a 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.

Starr or Quaid - Who's Right About The Superman Vs Homelander Debate?

Now that Quaid and Starr have both given their respective answers to this debate, it begs the question of who would actually win in a war between Superman and Homelander. On the one hand, Starr is right that Homelander is more than willing to fight dirty and pull any trick he has up his sleeve. Homelander also doesn't have a Kryptonite weakness the way Superman does, as his powers come from Compound V.

However, Quaid is also right about Superman being able to defeat Homelander, because various versions of Krypton's last son have shown that he can be very strategic. Depending on the story, Superman could easily make sure they are in an environment where Homelander wouldn't be able to prey on innocent citizens. It's also worth taking into that Homelander has a similar weakness for others' well-being too, which is his son Ryan.

If Warner Bros. and Prime Video ever found a way to work out a Superman/The Boys crossover, it would genuinely be interesting to see how they would approach this debate with Homelander. If anything, an animated crossover between The Boys and My Adventures with Superman, where Starr and Quaid's characters could literally cross paths, would be the most fun scenario. For now, time will tell if The Boys and My Adventures with Superman, or any version of Superman, will ever get to battle Starr's Homelander.

The Boys season 4 premieres with the first three episodes on June 13, only on Prime Video.
