Homelander vs. Iron Man

I'm not confident Homelander could give Thor any type of fight, so through power scaling, he wins.

Also, made Thanos bleed with a punch.

Arguing that Homelander could HURT Iron Man is a big assumption (a wrong one.)

Thor didn't seem as powerful as homelander when he fought IM. I could list some things that make me come to that conclusion if you want.

Making Thanos SLIGHTLY bleed (after many attacks) isnt a good showing for IM, its a bad one for Thanos.

IM isn't aircraft bullet proof. Homelander is (if you go by the statement). IM can not survive a nuke. IM suit can not resist greats amount of heat. The heat homelander can generate is greater than the heat Extremis agents can generate (i have evidence if you want it).

IM weaponry is not more powerful than the world's best. How would IM harm him?

Now if you argue that statements that contradict on scene showings can not be used as proof then ill agree and say this isnt a stomp for Homelander.

That's an extremely impressive feat and I honestly had forgotten Tony survived that, but that wasn't "Tsar Bomba" levels of power output, not even close.

Going from what is shown in The Boys, HL doesn't stand a chance. I'm just playing devil's advocate based on his implied level of power, which were 'he can survive being nuked'.

This is your only good point. So stick to it and present your evidences.

Those were the suits in IM3, we're talking massive leaps and bounds of advancement with the suit Tony is wearing here.

Oh yeah keep forgetting the details of that sucky film.

That chunk wasnt that large nor moving that fast at the time it struck IM. What are the power stone blast feats? What type of energy is it (burning, concussive, etc). It seems mostly concussive.

They turned the suits into comical relief, which was just weird.

We require proof that they are more resistant against heat (or any type of damage tbh) than IM 3 suits. Otherwise we have speculation.

That would be the ever increasing feats in the subsequent films after IM3, you silly troll. You're done here.

Tony was just making them to make them and so the fans could get a nod to Armor Wars. By mass producing them they lost the integrity and power of the individual suits he put time and actual effort into.

Tony not sleeping and making suit after suit is one explanation

Stop it. Thor in Avengers 1 would crush Homelander's skull with one hand.

Unless you're forgetting he also fought the HULK in the same movie and did pretty damn well, and arguing Homelander would perform similarly against the Hulk is just stupid.

You could even argue IM performed better then almost every single fight Thor had against him.

Bad showing or not, it still happened, Iron Man managed to make Thanos bleed with a PUNCH. Normal functioning humans could not possibly argue Homelander could tank that. The dude is strong, he can tear humans in half with a twitch of a finger, and that's great. He can tank a nuke, and that's great, but these things aren't impressive in the MCU for a metahuman.

Judging by this and your Supergirl post, you know count statements as facts?

You mean decreasing feats. IM 1 has the best durability feats troll. The moon feat is garbage. We clearly see the chunk that hit IM was that large and wasnt moving that fast. Yes the pieces slowed down tremendously after entering the atmosphere. Visual speed is key.

Characters fluctuate in power level from scene to scene. Thats why we get inconsistency. I can name some if you like.
Also
Fighting someone doesn't prove strength. Its what you actually do in the fight that is considered a strength feat. Homelander would do similarly or better than Thor in that scene.

IM making Thanos bleed slightly is not a good feat for IM, its a bad one for Thanos.

Understandable, I'm not going to argue it was and I'm not am armchair physicist so not going to attempt to calc it was just pointing out something he referenced though but you get what I was aiming at.

Regarding the use of Homelander in general I think that's the issue with using him in any versus setting. By scaling he everyone else +++ but we don't know where exactly that level is and he's never had to fight someone on his level so we never get him putting in any effort to get a judge of where he sits.

Also doesn't help that he's the "Superman" archetype so we tend to prescribe a level of what Superman can do(plus the Madelyns comment doesn't help) despite the fact that he doesn't have a single feat putting him anywhere near there.

He's a deplorable, but lovable prick; that goes a long way. Speaking of, we should get the Season 3 release date soon.

Nice excuse to ignore on screen showings and follow your own head canon instead.

What i said was a fact. Characters fluctuate from scene to scene. Writers do not use exact science to determine when something written is contradictory to wgat a character has already done.

Homelander was knocked out by a bus landing on his head. The nuke extrapolation is total BS when that is kept in mind.
