Omni-Man vs. Homelander

## Description

*When these two bloodthirsty caped metahumans from a controversial comic series meet in combat, only one will get custody of the planet.*

## Interlude

Hiro: What happens when a god amongst men decides to use their amazing powers for their own personal gain?

**MBStarscream: I'll tell ya what happens: The apocalypse! And that fits these two to a tee.**

Hiro: Omni-Man, the Viltrumite conqueror from Invincible.

**MBStarscream: And Homelander, leader of The Seven from The Boys.**

Hiro: I'm Hiro Hamada.

**MBStarscream: I'm MBStarscream.**

Hiro: And it's our job to examine both warriors' strength, abilities, weapons, and weaknesses to see who would win in a fight.

## Omni-Man

Hiro: Planet Viltrum is home to the Viltrumites, a race of powerful warriors who conquer planets to spread their influence across the galaxy. Born on this planet was Nolan, who upon reaching the appropriate age decided to help the Viltrumites conquer planets, becoming such a capable warrior that he would command his own unit.

**MBStarscream: When Viltrum suffered from a virus, the Viltrum Empire decided to use their lifespans to infiltrate planets and societies to weaken their defense so they could counter-attack the Viltrumites. So Nolan took on the mission to infiltrate Earth and learned about human culture while taking the surname "Grayson" and a new superhero alias: Omni-Man.**

Hiro: As Omni-Man, Nolan fought against supervillains and became an ally of a superhero team called the Guardians of the Globe, even falling in love with a Earth woman named Debbie and having a son, Mark. While raising Mark, Nolan told him that he would receive powers like him, but told him the false stories of why he was on Earth as well.

**MBStarscream: When Mark became his own hero, Invincible, Nolan came clean about why he had come to Earth and requested him to aid in the conquest of the planet, but his son's refusal led to an epic battle where he was beaten to nearly an inch of his life, giving us that "Think, Mark!" meme in the process.**

Hiro: Unable to go through with killing his own son, Omni-Man flew off into space in tears, eventually conquering another planet to lesson his crime of deserting the Viltrum Empire. He then came to the planet of Thraxa, where he learned that the Thraxans had a short life span and the oldest individual would rule the planet. Nolan became their ruler and would mate with a Thraxan named Andressa, who would have their child.

**MBStarscream: Omni-Man's attempts to appease the Viltrumite Empire ended in failure with his defeat and capture at the hands of his own people. He was held captive in prison until he saved from execution by Allen the Alien, whom he would team up with to eradicate Viltrum's supremacy.**

Hiro: Embarking on adventures across the galaxy, they gathered weapons and allies which would give them an advantage over the Viltrumites, and inn the final battle of the war, the anti-Viltrumite coalition was victorious, destroying the Viltrumite homeworld and scattering their enemies, although Nolan was badly wounded by the Viltrumite regent Thragg, who secretly relocated the surviving members of his race on Earth, planning to interbreed with humans to covertly rebuild the empire.

**MBStarscream: Tensions mounted when Thragg discovers that Nolan is a descendant of the long-dead Viltrumite king, and thus heir to the throne, provoking a fierce battle between them. Although Nolan is overpowered, the Viltrumites recognize him and rally behind him, forcing Thragg to flee. Nolan is subsequently crowned as ruler of the Viltrumite Empire.**

Hiro: Nolan would overlook the Viltrumites on Earth until Thragg challenged him once more in a battle which turned out to be his last. In his last moments, Nolan named Mark as his successor to be the Emperor of the Viltrumites.

**MBStarscream: But while Omni-Man was still kicking, pretty much nothing could stop him due to his Viltrumite physiology, which gave him plenty of super cool superpowers.**

Hiro: Omni-Man was born all his race's superhuman capacities, which puts him well-beyond the physical parameters of most races. While physically appearing middle-aged, Omni-Man's might ranks among the greatest all Viltrumites and is easily recognized as the single most powerful being on Earth, able to single-handedly defeat the entire Guardians of the Globe. Also as a Viltrumite, Omni-Man's genetics are so potently dominating, they almost completely overshadow any genetics his offspring will inherit from the other parent, making said offspring almost purely Viltrumite themselves.

**MBStarscream: Due to a complex balancing system located in his inner ears, Omni-Man is able to levitate himself at will and fly about as he pleases. Omni-Man's entire physical being is nigh-indestructible, and extreme temperatures, explosions, severe physical trauma, piercing weapons, and energy assaults have little to no affect on harming him.**

Hiro: While Omni-Man is not absolutely immune to physical harm, he has remarkable recuperative powers. Able to survive most injuries that would kill normal humans, he is then able to recover any damage in very short periods of time, all with no lingering signs of the damage ever transpiring. He is also virtually immune to all forms of illness and contaminants. This healing factor also makes his body generates very little fatigue toxins, letting him fight and move for extended periods of time without collapsing or suffering from exhaustion.

**MBStarscream: Most injuries that he does sustain, he is able to endure and ignore the pain for the most part with no major impact on his physical performance. His sheer resilience allows him to survive injuries that would kill most beings, such as being disemboweled. While still needing air to breathe, he can go for weeks without air unfazed.**

Hiro: Omni-Man is blessed with an immense longevity. This stems from a decelerated aging process, gradually aging slower the older he gets, allowing him to retain his youthful health, vitality, conditioning, and appearance for an incalculably long time. At over two thousand years old, he has only begun to show signs of aging while still physically performing in his prime.

**MBStarscream: Omni-Man also has immense raw physical strength, able to easily lift thousands of tons of weight with a single hand and plow through virtually any solid matter with little to no resistance. Offensively, his sheer might can easily crush and tear through most targets with little trouble, even foes with their own level of super strength and/or heightened durability.**

Hiro: Omni-Man is incredibly fast, capable of moving at super-luminal levels and able to traverse entire planets in seconds. His speed was also shown able to cause devastating explosions with the implication that his speed was splitting atoms and causing fission reactions. While not the absolute fastest, he has also shown remarkable reflexes and reaction time, able to follow the movements of faster foes to counter.

**MBStarscream: Omni-Man is a master manipulator, being able to deceive his family and allies about his true intentions for decades, and having been raised and trained by a warmongering society like the Viltrumites, he is highly proficient in combat. Omni-Man also shows himself to be a capable leader, ruling the Thraxans and later Viltrum before his death.**

Hiro: All this power makes Omni-Man an exceptionally formidable foe. He's slaughtered the Guardians of the Globe all on his own, fought a kaiju-sized monster, fought and defeated Invincible, destroyed Viltrum alongside his son and Thaedus, and became the ruler of his own race for a time.

**MBStarscream: But while Omni-Man has the strength of a Viltrumite, he also has the weaknesses of one. When a Viltrumite's equilibrium in their ears is disturbed, mainly by frequency, it can cause extreme pain and may even possibly kill them outright. He was also very conflicted about conquering the planet that he had called home for decades and is naturally vulnerable to the Scourge Virus, which killed off 99% of his race.**

Hiro: But whether he's fighting as a superhero or a supervillain, Omni-Man is still not an adversary to take lightly for reasons that should be very obvious.

*Omni-Man: You don't seem to understand. Earth isn't yours to conquer.*

## Homelander

Hiro: During World War II, the Nazis created an organization named Vought-America for the purpose of developing superhumans. They are responsible for many of the superhuman groups that exist in the world, including the team of superheroes known as The Seven.

**MBStarscream: Which consists of The Deep, Black Noir, Lamplighter, A-Train, Queen Maeve, and the strongest of them all, Homelander.**

Hiro: The public story released by Vought-America is that that Homelander was an alien who dropped down to earth as a baby and was raised by parents in a small town, but in truth, Homelander was really created in a paramilitary science lab and given copious amounts of Compound V, a powerful chemical developed by Nazi scientists that would give humans incredible abilities, but with a litany of side-effects depending on the physiological makeup of the person and the amount used.

**MBStarscream: As you can imagine, Homelander's upbringing and exposure to experimental drugs left him with low moral standards and little sanity. And as he began his superhero career with the rest of The Seven it became clear that their extreme power and lack of morals would often make disasters worse.**

Hiro: Despite starting out optimistic and genuinely wanting to do good, Homelander found himself causing destruction and death everywhere he went, becoming a a living antithesis of what a superhero should be. And with his super abilities at his disposal, there's not much anyone can do to stop him from doing whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

**MBStarscream: One of Homelander's primary abilities is his tremendous superhuman strength. He possesses the greatest level of strength ever seen, allowing him to effortlessly overpower any opponent. Homelander also seems to be immune to the majority of forms of physical harm and is thereby the most resilient of the Seven, and possibly of all Supes. As such, he is not only completely bulletproof, but is also unfazed by explosions.**

Hiro: Homelander possesses stamina that is enhanced to inhuman levels. As a result, his muscles produce practically no fatigue toxins during physical activity. They are able to withstand the stresses of moving at superhuman speeds or performing other superhuman feats for extended periods of time, without tiring or becoming weak.

**MBStarscream: Homelander is able to generate powerful heat energy from within his eyes and can project them outwards as high powered energy beams. These blasts of energy are so powerful that they appear to be able to cut through anything, such as a plane. However, Homelander is most notable for using his optical beams on people, melting flesh and bone with ease.**

Hiro: Homelander's vision allows him to see through any solid object or surface, and he possesses tremendous auditory awareness, allowing him to detect sounds from miles away. He can also use this power to detect a person's heartbeat, and can tell when they are excited or anxious, such as when he detected Billy Butcher's blood pressure to try and determine his motives.

**MBStarscream: Homelander's sense of smell has been heightened far beyond normal human capabilities, allowing him to smell things no other being could. He can use this power to detect an explosive, or to sense adrenaline produced by fear. And like every caped hero in existence, Homelander is able to levitate and propel himself at great speeds, allowing him to cover vast distances in a matter of minutes.**

Hiro: Homelander is capable of producing high enough volume and intensity of sound from his voice to cause ears to bleed and internal organs to rupture. On one occassion, Homelander's yell of annoyance and frustration caused multiple people in the plane he and the Seven were attempting to save to collapse dead.

**MBStarscream: All that just by shouting? This guy needs some indoor voice lessons.**

Hiro: All these abilities allowed Homelander to stand above the whole world unchallenged, with his strength and power so great that he can tank blows from Queen Maeve and decapitate her with just one punch, and even fight his own clone despite being weaker and ultimately losing.

**MBStarscream: He claims that he can cut down Billy Butcher with just a look, convinced almost all Supes in the world to join him, staged an attack on the White House, and can tag A-Train, putting him at Mach 3 speeds.**

Hiro: Luckily, Homelander does have a lot of weaknesses, with his biggest one being his... less than stable mental health. His god-complex makes him very megalomaniacal, egotistical, narcissistic, and short-tempered in nature.

**MBStarscream: He requires a solid surface to fly, cannot see through zinc, and if he's focusing his senses on lie-detecting, he won't notice simple things like a dog pissing on him. And while he could fight Black Noir for a while, it still ended with his demise at his stronger clone's hand.**

Hiro: But Homelander is not one to trifle with. If you value your life, think happy thoughts and do what he ways in his presence, because he has no qualms in cutting loose and showing you just how powerful he really is... in all the wrong ways.

*Homelander: I'm the Homelander, and I can do whatever the fuck I want.*

## Fatal Fiction

*Mario flips a coin.*

Hiro: Well, it seems New York City shall bear host to the carnage that will unfold. Which dark-as-mud parody of superheroics will survive?

**MBStarscream: As if one evil Superman wasn't enough...**

*New York City*

In the middle of the city, a tall and muscular man dressed in blue and red floated in the air, surveying the floor below him as his striped cape blew in the wind. Just then, he noticed a masked robber running across the street, prompting him to dive down. This was a job for **Homelander**.

A job that would not be carried out.

Before he could even catch the robber, a red blur sped past him with a *whoosh*, catching the mugger way before him. Homelander's eyes widened with shock, watching as another tall man, clad in a red and white costume threw the robber into a nearby car. "That should teach you a lesson." The man said, folding his arms.

"Hey, you!"

The caped figure, **Omni-Man**, looked back as Homelander approached him. "That guy was mine, pal. I appreciate the help, but if you would be so kind as to hand him over to me, I'll let you do your thing." Omni-Man picked up the robber by the leg and floated in the air, but instead of handing him over to Homelander as the Supe had requested, he dropped him straight onto the car, breaking every bone in the man's body as the car's windows shattered.

"I don't have time for such petty arguments." Omni-Man said coldly. "Now run along. I've work to do."

Homelander was not liking the Viltrumite's attitude, as his scowl and glowing red eyes could attest to. "Listen here, pal! I'm the fucking Homelander, and you better start showing me some respect!" Omni-Man just stared at him, raising a brow. "I have better things to do than dealing with a child right now. Now if you'll excuse me--"

A mighty punch from an indignant Homelander sent him flying. Omni-Man managed to position himself in mid-air as Homelander floated up to meet his eye level.

"Don't fuck with me, old man, or I'll have to teach you a lesson." Homelander warned. Omni-Man, however, was still not intimidated. "Oh, *I* need to be taught a lesson? You're pathetic."

That hit Homelander's last nerve. "SHUT UP!" Windows shattered to pieces from the force of Homelander's irate shout, and even Omni-Man winced. All bets off, the Seven leader launched himself at Omni-Man in a rage.

**FIGHT!**

Blocking another punch from Homelander, Omni-Man engaged him in hand-to-hand combat, their blows causing small shockwaves as they clashed. Homelander then tackled Omni-Man and dived towards the ground, tearing through the road and crashing into various vehicles in their way. When they stopped, Homelander was kicked in the gut, forcing him off of Omni-Man as he got up and lunged forward, civilians fleeing from the chaos. Omni-Man punched Homelander a few times until the Supe planted an uppercut in his lower jaw and started punching in retaliation.

Omni-Man then flew backward before suddenly tackling Homelander and smashing through a building. He then threw him toward another building and lunged at him, throwing a punch that only hit the wall that Homelander had hit back-first, putting a big hole in the building. Homelander punched Omni-Man in the face, but the Viltrumite sent him crashing through the building with a stronger punch of his own. Omni-Man flew through the building and met Homelander outside, grappling with him for a moment until he threw Homelander into the sky. His murderous glare directed towards Omni-Man, Homelander fired his heat vision down towards his alien opponent. The beams burned through the building as Omni-Man dodged, flying through the city as the lasers pursued him. Buildings and people alike were easily sliced through as Omni-Man was basically chased through New York.

Finally, a beam caught him on the shoulder. Omni-Man winced in pain, holding his shoulder as he crashed to the floor. Omni-Man looked up to see Homelander looming hundreds of feet above him, eyes still glowing red with heat vision and an evil smirk planted on his face. Suddenly, Omni-Man heard loud honking, and turned to see a black car zooming towards him. Omni-Man grabbed the car before it could hit him and threw it up at Homelander, its driver screaming in terror. A blast of Homelander's heat vision caused the car to explode in a burst of fire, then dived down as Omni-Man flew back, Homelander's feet slamming into the ground and forming cracks in the road.

Homelander charged at Omni-Man, trading blows with him again. While they were fighting, army helicopters and jets flew into the city, locking onto their targets. The jets launched their missiles at Omni-Man and Homelander while the helicopters fired their gatling guns. The bullets ricocheted off of the brawling superhumans as the missiles approached them, eventually coating them both in fantastical explosions. It did little to faze either combatant, as both looked at their attackers. The brief distraction allowed Homelander to punch Omni-Man away and focus on the aircraft. He fired his heat vision at one of the helicopters, hitting the pilot's eyes and burning through them. The helicopter instantly lost control, but Homelander flew forward and caught it.

Meanwhile, Omni-Man got up and saw Homelander holding the helicopter, instantly catching on his intent. Homelander tossed the chopper at him, but Omni-Man flew out of the way as it hit the ground in an explosion. One of the jets launched its missiles at Omni-Man, but he dodged the projectiles and punched the plane away, causing it to hit a building and explode. Omni-Man then grabbed another helicopter by its tail and hurled it into the air, then looked at Homelander as the Supe destroyed the rest of the aircraft with his heat vision, decorating the sky with balls of fire. While he was focused on them, Omni-Man took the opportunity to spear-tackle Homelander, smashing him through three buildings before hurling him to the ground, where he landed on a truck's trailer.

Seeing Omni-Man coming down towards him, Homelander flew away as a punch from the Viltrumite crushed the trailer like a can. Omni-Man tore the trailer off of the truck and hurled it at Homelander, who caught it and threw it at another building. This, however, gave Omni-Man an opening, and before Homelander could react, the conqueror hit him with a powerful blow. The titans fought across the street, their fists hitting each other's faces repeatedly. Omni-Man eventually grabbed Homelander by the throat and flew towards the ground, driving him into the concrete. Omni-Man punched Homelander multiple times as he lay beneath him, then grabbed his head tightly with both hand, squeezing it in a vice-like grip. Homelander struggled to break free as Omni-Man squeezed, then his eyes glowed red. Before Omni-Man could react, heat vision hit his forehead, making him scream in pain and back away from Homelander, hands holding his hand.

Homelander got up and glared, eyes still glowing with hatred. "Burn, motherfucker." His heat vision then struck Omni-Man in the chest, the Viltrumite continuing to scream in agony as fabric and skin burned under the beams. Homelander intenstified the strength of his heat vision, causing Omni-Man to fall onto his back. Homelander then stopped his attack and starting closing the distance between himself and Omni-Man, the latter's exposed chest smoking from the heat vision. As Omni-Man got up, Homelander charged and started punching him hard enough to make him spit blood, the red fluid hitting the floor. Omni-Man managed to block Homelander's next attack, and grabbed the Supe's other fist as he tried punching him with that fist. Then he leaned his head back and shattered Homelander's nose with a headbutt.

Homelander screamed as he backed away, hands covering his bloodied nose as red dripped onto the floor. Omni-Man didn't let up; he threw more violent blows at Homelander, blood spraying with each hit; even a few teeth flew out of Homelander's mouth and hit the ground. Homelander tried to punch Omni-Man's face, but the alien grabbed his fist and slammed him into the ground. Grabbing Homelander by the chest, Omni-Man spun him around and threw him into a building.

Omni-Man flew towards Homelander and grabbed him again, then carried him through the city as he smashed through multiple buildings before finally tossing Homelander into the air. Flying through the sky, Homelander smashed through the wing of a plane, causing to spiral as it descended towards earth. Homelander managed to recover and looked down to see Omni-Man glaring up at him from below. As Omni-Man flew up towards him, Homelander flew down at similar speed and met his opponent in a clash that caused a shockwave, dispersing the clouds around them in the process.

Locked in combat again, Omni-Man and Homelander pummeled each other with tremendous force behind their blows. Omni-Man managed to dodge a blast of heat vision from Homelander and knocked him back with a punch. Homelander tried to punch Omni-Man, but the father of Invincible ducked and punched Homelander in the gut, followed by an uppercut and another punch to the chest. Omni-Man threw another punch, but Homelander blocked and punched Omni-Man in the face before throwing a flurry of blows at his torso. Omni-Man then grabbed Homelander's wrist and twisted it with a sickening crack, making the leader of the Seven scream painfully. Holding his wrist in pain, Homelander was vulnerable to Omni-Man's own beatdown as he assaulted him with blows that could dent the toughest steel, more of Homelander's blood covering his gloved fists.

A final punch impaled through Homelander's chest, Omni-Man's fist emerging from the Supe's back. Putting his hands into the hole in Homelander's body, Omni-Man hoisted him up and pulled his arms apart. Screaming in pain and horror, Homelander was ripped in two, both halves of his body held in his opponent's hands. The Viltrumite dropped the two halves of what was once Homelander and watched them fall.

"What a waste of a fight." He said before flying off, leaving Homelander's halved body to land in the city.

**FATALITY!**

## Results

**MBStarscream: Great, now he's ripping off Sentry as well.**

Hiro: Homelander had many powers that Omni-Man did not, and most of them give him a decidedly long-range advantage. Especially deadly was his heat vision, which could have allowed him to win this fight in some scenarios.

**MBStarscream: But that wouldn't have really helped him out much, considering just how badly Omni-Man had him outmatched everywhere else. Unlike Homelander, Omni-Man has fought other extraterrestrial beings of comparable strength, meaning he had the considerable experience to negate Homelander's advantages in long-range.**

Hiro: Omni-Man also held a massive advantage in terms of strategy, with his training and level-headed perception being effective compared to Homelander acting out on anger alone. And while Homelander is certainly the strongest Supe in his universe, Omni-Man has fought worse things in his own universe, including Flaxans and other Viltrumites.

**MBStarscream: Comparing the stats trinity, Omni-Man easily had Homelander beat. Keeping up with A-Train made Homelander plenty fast, but Omni-Man has kept up with characters of greater speed such as Invincible, who could fly from North America all the way to Antarctica in just 39 seconds.**

Hiro: Both were invulnerable to ordinary means of harm, but Omni-Man has taken blows from beings stronger or on the same level at him, even surviving life threatening injuries from his fight against Thragg and killing Viltrumites stronger than himself. Comparing this to Homelander, who was killed by his own clone quite easily, really shows how much tougher Omni-Man was than Homelander.

**MBStarscream: With his sheer physical abilities combined with his experience and more stable mind, Omni-Man took this by a Homeland-slide.**

Hiro: Omni-Man wins.
