Even if Hulk is somehow stronger how can he hope to match Homelander's speed? He outran an explosion in the season finale while doing fine tasks such as getting a person out of the are of effect, his reflexes are so over Hulk's it isn't even a contest
"big fish in a small pond" is a good way to put it for Homelander.
This is another interesting thread: on one hand, you have a Superman-esque being with speed far beyond what the Hulk has demonstrated, but has little in terms of on-screen feats demonstrating strength, fighting capability, or durability (beyond the explosion in the finale and shrugging off bullets).
On the other hand, Hulk has appeared in 6 films and has a laundry list of feats to his name: from throwing forklifts to punching Leviathans to battling Thor twice to lifting up Avengers HQ debris to getting his snap on with the Stark Infinity Gauntlet.
I'd give it to Hulk as of right now if we're just going off what we've seen, though if Homelander can zip around him with flight and movement speed (again, Homelander is FAR faster) and eventually has any striking power/strength feats to his name, he'd win IMO.
How would John-a-thon take to getting punched by Brucey though?
We have no idea how he saved Butcher, though that is the most likely scenario.
And he won't need to match Homelander's speed. He'll just wait for Homelander to break every bone in his body when he flies at him in an attempt to punch him.
At best Homelander can stay away from Hulk, which as far as I'm concerned is a forfeit by inaction.
Most of Homelander's abilities carry a big question mark surrounding them. We can only wait and see.
They did say every weapon known had been used on Homelander and failed. So I think it is safe to say the guy is nuke proof in terms of the story.
However, he has no feats to back up those statements yet.

Well the tectonic plate is not even a movie statement. Its just a newspaper clipping with zero details. And possibly not even a reliable source- Was is it the Daily Planet? I cant remember.
Also we only know Thor survived the full force of a Star because of what Eitri states. Otherwise what we see hardly makes that clear.
But I digress, in that id at least want someone reliable to confirm Homelander survived an actual Nuke blast with details of if he took any damage at all or not, and how close to the Nuke he was, and where the Nuke blasted (in space?) before taking that as some kind of a fact.
