TV Homelander vs Hancock

[Nik Hasta]

Kind of the problem here is we don't know how strong Homelander is.

Assuming A-Train's fear of pulling the train is a good benchmark for supers at their peak, I think he's going to have a hard time hurting Hancock.

the only real hint at homelander's limit is when he said he can't lift a crashing passager airplane when mauve suggested it.

it's not much but it's the only thing i can remember about his limit.

That felt more like him making fun of the physics of such a feat. Like it just wasn't plausible in his mind.

Anyways, Hancock is still way too fast.

IIRC, Homelander said that he couldn't move a plane in flight because he would have nothing to brace against, implying that he could lift the plane just fine if it was on the ground.

my mistake. :P

part of me thinks that he partly said that because he didn't really wanna make the effort to try.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. He did seem a little TOO prepared for his post crash speech.

He also says that at this speed he would either go right through it, or spin it "ass over ****". So it is less that he couldn't do it, as that Boysverse operates under more realistic physics than most comicverses. I.e. even someone strong enough to lift something massively heavy has to deal with sheering forces.

Homelander seems to have much slower reaction speed than Hancock.

The terrorist was able to move and shoot the pilot before Homelander reacted and lasered him to death, whereas IIRC, Hancock was able to deal with the bank robbers quite a bit more expeditiously by severing their hands before they could react and fire their guns.

Durability-wise, not sure what Homelander's upper limits are, but then again, he hasn't really faced anyone nearly as strong as Hancock with his blue whale tossing strength.

The better feat for Hancock was honestly the train.

It hit him and came to a full stop, and he didn't even budge.

Hancock's feats are Homelander's but better.
