Fantasy

Superman is far faster than Homelander, so he strikes first and repeatedly, and his decisive heat-vision blow puts Homelander down for good.

Omni-Man's decisive speed advantage denied Homelander the initiative while superior strength and invulnerability meant Homelander could not inflict enough damage to secure a finish, leaving only Omni-Man with a valid path to ending the fight.

2B's energy projection exploited A-Train's complete lack of energy defense, and her superior speed denied him the window to land the incapacitating strike he needed before she could.

Invincible's decisive speed advantage denies Homelander the initiative and distance needed to fight effectively, while only Invincible possesses the strength ceiling to impose a definitive finish.

Flash strips A-Train's speed through the Speed Force mid-fight, neutralising his only real threat before delivering a decisive blow A-Train has no answer for.

Gojo's Infinity renders every one of Homelander's physical and energy attacks inert before they arrive, leaving Homelander unable to land a single blow while Gojo's Hollow Technique: Purple delivers a finishing strike he cannot survive.
