Homelander Joins Mortal Kombat 1: A Superpowered Showdown

Warner Bros. Games has just dropped a bombshell for Mortal Kombat 1 fans: Homelander, the infamous supervillain from Prime Video’s hit show The Boys, is making his way into the brutal arena. In this blog, we’ll delve into the details of Homelander’s gameplay, fatalities, and what makes him a formidable addition to the roster.

Who Is Homelander?

Homelander is the most powerful being on the planet, leading The Seven—an elite superhero team owned by Vought International. But don’t let his movie-star good looks fool you. Beneath the patriotic facade lies a murderous, narcissistic sociopath with an insatiable need for validation, love, and power. His laser eyes and super strength make him a force to be reckoned with.

Gameplay Overview

Super Strength and Aerial Attacks

Homelander asserts dominance over opponents with his super strength and aerial maneuvers. His heavy-hitting attacks can send foes flying across the arena.

Laser Eyes

The basis of Homelander’s combo-building lies in his famous laser eyes. He uses them as a launcher, interrupter, and combo extender. Beware—you’ll need to stomach his disgusting milk-drinking victory pose to witness this power in action.

Fatalities

Homelander’s Fatalities are as brutal as they come. One of them involves—you guessed it—those laser eyes. Expect a fiery finish for his adversaries.

Homelander vs. Omni-Man

Fans have wondered how Homelander differs from other Superman-style characters already in the game, like Omni-Man from Invincible. While both share abilities like flight and heavy attacks, Homelander’s speed and laser eyes set him apart.

Voice Actor Mystery

Antony Starr, who plays Homelander in The Boys, won’t be voicing the character in Mortal Kombat 1. The voice actor remains a mystery, leaving fans curious about the casting choice.

Release Date

Homelander arrives in early access on June 4, 2024, exclusively for Premium and Collector’s Edition owners. The wider player base can join the fray on June 11. Ferra, another character, also enters the arena in June¹².
