And every attack in the show was far below what Metro Man and by extension Tighten were capable of. Homelander couldn't stop a plane. Tighten picked up an entire skyscraper and threw it. Easily.
His heat vision is more powerful as well.

Homelander gets wrecked. He's still easily one of the weaker Superman-esque/knock-off characters we have. Pretty much the only other one he could realistically beat with his current available feats is Brightburn. Hal would shove Homelander's head up his own ass.

You seemed to be initially arguing that Homelander couldn't lift a plane and therefore he was weaker than Tighten. And as I pointed out, that's due to The Boys somewhat following real world physics not due to a lack of strength on Homelander's part. Just because physics don't apply to Metro Man and Co doesn't mean they are stronger... They likely are far stronger though due to having far better feats.
Homelander got knocked out by a sewer roof and a bus dropped on his head. Titan got punched across the cityb a Jaeger sized robot and that only ticked him off. Homelander gets destroyed no contest.

Well, we don't really know whether he was outright KO'd, but he was certainly incapacitated for a notable amount of time. It took him pretty much the entire length of the fight between Stormfront, Kimiko and her brother to get himself out.

It's inconsistent, cuz we're told he has had every weapon known to man used on him and nothing worked.
I still think Titan wins.
Thing about this show is it's about the characters and how awful they are it's not necessarily a big super hero thing with all these fights like you might see in the Avengers. We still haven't seen Homelander cut loose.

Vague statements < screen feats though. Even if we assume that statement included things like nukes, we still don't have enough information to actually apply it. For example, even if he did survive one, how was it detonated? How far away was he? What was the yield? How long did he remain in the area? Etc. We don't know any actual quantifiable information, so it makes the statement next to useless for threads like these.
It's like the "David could destroy the world" quotes that kept popping up throughout Legion. Yeah, sounds cool and all for the intimidation/threat factor, but it really means very little in a Versus thread, due to the lack of details on how he'd actually do so and how much time and effort it would take him.
Doesn't really matter in a VS forum what the show is about though. If he doesn't have the feats, he doesn't have the feats. And, as things stand, he doesn't have them.

I know the feats matter. I'm saying the writing is inconsistent with the shown power level. It doesn't change much here. Though I would argue "every weapon known to man has been used" isn't as vague as the other thing. It's not hinting at a supposed potential like with David, but rather past events.
Even if nothing contradicted the claim I would want feats that confirm that level of strength and durability.
I was not suggesting the characters get special treatment. My point is the characters on the show are not well suited for these kind of debates.

Except in the instance with David it's not just potential. He actually "destroys" the world in an alternate timeline, but they're just very vague on how. He even gets put on trial for it at the end of S2. And yet it's still next to useless for a Versus thread, due to the lack of specific details on how he actually did it, just like the Homelander statement is.
