In the Comics: The fight is a clash between equals. Black Noir was designed to be Homelander’s “mirror,” so the battle is extremely physical, prolonged, and ends with both fighters in a brutal, near-destroyed state. It’s pure raw strength—either one could win. In the Show: The fight is a display of hierarchy. Homelander is on such a higher power level than Noir (who, in the series, is “just” a super-soldier with regeneration) that there’s no real resistance. It’s a purely emotional and shocking moment, focused on betrayal rather than combat choreography. Power Difference: Homelander has the strength to take down buildings and airplanes. Thragg, as the strongest Viltrumite to ever exist, can tear apart beings like Omni-Man—who can fly through planets. Speed and Combat: Homelander is fast, but Thragg operates at astronomical combat and reaction speeds, fighting in space at constant hypersonic levels. Durability: Homelander can be hurt by nuclear-level weapons or high-tier Supes. Thragg fought for days with fatal wounds exposed and even battled within the surface of the sun for a prolonged period. Experience: Homelander is a bully who rarely faces someone on his level, making him psychologically fragile in real fights. Thragg is a master strategist and warrior with thousands of years of interplanetary war experience. This is one of those fights where numbers don’t matter, because the scale difference is absurd. Superman defeats both at the same time—and Homelander would be the first to fall. Here’s the technical breakdown: 1. The weak link: Homelander To Superman, Homelander is just a loud human with lasers. Durability: Homelander can be injured by heavy metals or powerful Supes. Superman withstands supernova-level explosions. Speed: While Homelander flies at supersonic speeds, Superman crosses solar systems in seconds. Clark could knock him out before his brain even sends a signal to his muscles. 2. The real challenge: Thragg Thragg is the only one who could pose some resistance—but he would still lose. Strength: Thragg can crack a planet with help, but Superman has moved Earth and carried entire solar systems. Vulnerability: Viltrumites die if their heart is removed or if they’re exposed to extreme heat (like a star’s core) for too long. Superman literally lives inside the sun to grow stronger. His heat vision is hotter than the sun’s surface. How the fight would play out: Opening: Homelander tries to use heat vision. Superman doesn’t even dodge—he just walks through it, which immediately sends Homelander into panic. The clash: Thragg goes all in, attempting the classic Viltrumite move—piercing Superman’s chest. He would likely break his arm against the Kryptonian’s molecular density. Final blow: Realizing Thragg is a genocidal warlord and Homelander a sociopath, Superman wouldn’t hold back. He could freeze Thragg with his ice breath and use a super-speed “tap” to instantly knock out Homelander. #theboys #invincible #thragg - @gx.s98
