I have been thinking about changing and expanding the way I use X and Substack. I spend an enormous amount of time reading, playing games, working with technology, writing, publishing, researching random subjects, and working on my own crea...

Homelander would rather start a physical fight than live with that comparison. Unfortunately for him, fighting Superman would only prove it again. Full post: https://t.co/YqPZORQTeM

Clark Kent would make it even worse. Superman has a family, friends, work, Kryptonian history and a private identity where he can simply exist as a person. Homelander has the product Vought created and the frightened person underneath it.

Superman pulls that structure apart without trying. He is more powerful without being cruel, loved without demanding worship and treated like a hero without a corporation manufacturing every part of his public identity.

Homelander needs to be the strongest. He needs public approval, and he needs everyone close to him monitoring his emotions. Being powerful means nobody can force him to face the truth, while public love lets him pretend approval is a real r...

I think Homelander starts losing mentally as soon as he realizes what Superman is. The physical fight comes later. Superman's existence attacks almost every unstable part of Homelander's identity at the same time.

Kindness is not the absence of strength. Mercy is not fear. By the time Homelander understood that Superman's restraint was a choice, the fight would already be over. I went much deeper here: https://t.co/NLThCiJeRL

Homelander would see that restraint and assume it was the limit. He understands fear, control, flattery and someone pretending to be good. He does not understand someone with overwhelming power sincerely believing that power should be used...

Superman holds back constantly. He has to think about nearby buildings, people in the streets, how much force an opponent can survive and where they will land. He may spend more energy containing the damage than attacking whoever caused it.

If Superman tried to talk him down, Homelander would assume he was scared. If Superman showed mercy, he would treat it like disrespect. If Superman stopped to protect civilians, Homelander would believe he had found something he could explo...

Homelander could physically fight Superman for however long that particular version of the matchup allowed. His larger problem is that he would misunderstand almost everything Superman did before and during the fight.

Homelander wants people to look at the costume and automatically give him the love Superman earns through his actions. He has the powers and the marketing. Superman is the actual hero. Full thoughts: https://t.co/cFUzNnirkg

Homelander believes being more powerful means he deserves more from everyone else. Superman believes being more powerful means more is required from him. It sounds simple, but that difference is basically the entire character comparison for...

Superman does the work when there is no camera. He saves people who are angry with him. He saves enemies when he can. He does not decide someone's value based on whether they can praise him, help his image or give him anything in return.

Vought gave Homelander the costume, speeches, movies, staged rescues and all the marketing needed to sell him as a perfect hero. When something goes wrong, they clean it up, change the story and decide how much truth the public can handle.

Superman and Homelander look similar enough that the comparison is impossible to avoid. They fly, have incredible strength, use heat vision, wear capes and are presented as the greatest hero in their world. But Homelander has the image with...

Superman proves power never required Homelander to become cruel. Homelander finally meets someone he cannot intimidate, control or dismiss as weak. https://t.co/GVDNuLtVBL

In most normal versions, Superman is stronger, faster, more experienced and much more accustomed to fighting someone who can actually hurt him. Homelander could probably accept that physical difference before accepting that Superman was als...

Then Superman shows up and simply is not afraid of him. The threatening stare, glowing eyes and fake smile would not work on someone who has fought Kryptonians, monsters, alien armies, Doomsday, Darkseid and everything else connected to Sup...

Homelander is used to being the strongest person in every room. Even when Vought manipulates him, everyone involved knows he could stop cooperating whenever he wants. Fear is what he falls back on when love and approval do not come willingl...
