Superheroes and bravery have gone hand in hand since the beginning, especially at Marvel Comics. The heroes of the Marvel Universe have found themselves facing down threats that would chill the most formidable to the bone. It takes something special to be a hero in the Marvel Universe; you never know when the public is going to turn against you or some all-powerful universal conqueror is going to drop out of the sky.

DC Comics is the original superhero universe, meaning they are the original producer of the modern conception of the supervillain. Villains are one of the most important parts of the comic medium; a hero is only as good as their enemies. Over the years, DC’s villains have become some of the most well-known fictional characters ever, starring in stories that enthralled generations of readers. Villains losing is an integral part of these stories, but that doesn’t mean that they never win.

Homelander is the most powerful supe in The Boys, whether it be the show or the comics. He was created to be the ultimate superhuman and he used to lord over everyone out there (although the comics are quite different from the show). His power level kept him at the top of the Seven and Vought International, forcing the Boys to use all kinds of dirty tricks – and generous helpings of Compound V – to stop him.
