Who would win?
Homelander vs Omni-Man
Omni-Man is stronger, tougher and far harder to hurt. Homelander's attacks can't seriously hurt a Viltrumite, while Omni-Man can beat Homelander down, and Homelander's durability is nowhere near enough to stop him.
- Omni-Man is a tier above
- Homelander can't seriously hurt him
- Omni-Man can finish Homelander
The leader of The Seven in The Boys, the comic by Garth Ennis and the Amazon series. A dark take on Superman: flight, laser eyes, near-invulnerability and no conscience.
Nolan Grayson, Invincible's father, from Robert Kirkman's Invincible. A Viltrumite warrior sent to conquer Earth who posed as its greatest hero.
The full breakdown
For the stat fans: every check the engine ran, fighting in character and with no holding back (engine v1.8.26).
In Character
In short
Omni-Man has the edge in raw power, but only just — one tier is an advantage, not an answer. Only Omni-Man can put Homelander down. Homelander has no route that works here — everything available is either stopped or survivable, so Homelander cannot close the fight out. Only Omni-Man has a valid win condition (a kill, a hold or a shutdown) — Homelander cannot end the fight. Omni-Man wins comfortably — there is no real argument in the other direction.
The tables below show every check behind this, with the numbers the engine used.
Full engine breakdown
Power bracket
| Fighter | Bracket |
|---|---|
| Homelander | 5 |
| Omni-Man | 6 |
Gap of 1. Awards 45 points to Omni-Man.
Attribute clash
| Axis | Attacker | vs defence | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | Homelander (5) | Omni-Man 5 (UNDEFENDED x1.5) | +8 |
| Strength | Omni-Man (7) | Homelander 4 | +15 |
| Speed | Omni-Man | — speed edge | +6 |
Ability interactions
| Type | Interaction | Points |
|---|---|---|
| speed | Omni-Man is far faster (speed 7 vs 4) -> evasion + initiative (+20, survival not a kill) | — |
| invulnerability | Omni-Man out-tiers the attacker; durability gate raised +1 (now 9) | — |
Soft counter: reduces an ability's effectiveness without nullifying it. Hard counter: the ability does not function against this opponent at all.
Win conditions tested
| Check | Homelander | Omni-Man |
|---|---|---|
| Kill | FAILED no finishing attack | PASS reach 5 vs Homelander's 0 |
| Contain | FAILED no containment method | FAILED no containment method |
A kill lands only when the attacker's reach meets or beats the defender's resistance. Containment must clear two bars: it has to out-reach the opponent's escape and reach 8 to hold permanently — below that it is a temporary hold that lapses. A fighter who fails both cannot end the fight, however much damage they do — which is how an outmatched fighter can still force a stalemate.
Can they threaten at all?
| Fighter | Has a usable offensive route |
|---|---|
| Homelander | NO |
| Omni-Man | YES |
This checks only whether a fighter can meaningfully attack at all. It is tested before the win conditions above — so a fighter can pass here and still have no way to finish the opponent.
Rulings
| Omni-Man has no rating for resisting seals, prisons and banishment, so it is read from their tier as 3 rather than as none (escape 0 -> 3) |
| Only Omni-Man has a valid win condition (a kill, a hold or a shutdown) — Homelander cannot end the fight |
Final score
| Key awards | Points |
|---|---|
| Only Omni-Man has a valid win condition (a kill, a hold or a shutdown) — Homelander cannot end the fight | +150 |
The largest awards, not a full ledger — bracket gap, attribute clash and counter points are listed in their own sections above.
Homelander 0 · Omni-Man 228 — margin +228, graded decisive. Points accumulate from the checks above. The engine resolves the fight; the AI only narrates the result it reached.
No Holding Back
In short
Morals make no difference to this one — it resolves exactly as above.
