Comic Homelander deadass doesn't dodge. He'd let The Deep hit him and he'd fking die with that one-shot gap.

The Deep has a 9-A end.

Which is 3x weaker than Homelander's, and puts him with legit 0 wincon even if I equalize speed

 

[Pyro9278]

The Deep has no heat resistance, so if the speed isn't equalized, it's still a stomp.

 

[Omegas03]

Fair point, lemme equalize speed.

Now, regarding the fight. It's not really a one-shot, since the AP gap is 7x, and for a one-shot it's 7.5x (8x), and since Homelander's value increases, the gap is slightly smaller than it seems. The Deep won't kill Homelander in one hit, but considering how incompetent he is at fighting, he'll be easily overwhelmed and will then resort to his LS or heat vision

I take that as a vote for Deep or HL?

Because of Deep's lack of acrobatic advantages, I will vote for HL.

There's something to factor in. Comic Homelander is the type who might outlast Deep due to perseverance. Unlike TV Homelander, Comic Homelander is extremely determined and would literally fight to the death through sheer rage. Isn't the Deep a coward, not to mention every bit as unskilled as Homelander?

That's another point; this version of Homelander is much more resilient than the TV version. Meanwhile, Deep is too cowardly to withstand a beating, or even survive one, since HL's heat vision or LS would inevitably leave him injured.

If Homelander flies into rage and charges, and gets hit and takes significant damage only to charge through it, how does Deep react? Isn't he the type to panic or try to run or hide?

He'd probably run or hide, anything to avoid a fight, especially considering how much he idolizes Homelander. Although, it's also possible Homelander will let himself be attacked, and then Deep could gain the upper hand initially and even take him out, since Homelander isn't going to get angry out of nowhere or charge to kill Deep unless he's provoked first.

 

[Omegas03]

Has Deep actually ran from an actual fight? I mean, this is Homelander we are talking about so it probably may be a yes. couldn't Deep just realize that this one looks different and think that he's a faker or something.

But yes Homelander has some nice advantages up his sleeve. Flight, HV and the fact that he's not going to fold until Deep either knocks him out unconscious or tears him apart.

Deep still has a nice AP advantage to capitalize on.

so

HL

+HV/range

+sound manip

+both are shitty fighters, but HL is way wilder so he'd have the advantage just based on that

+pain tolerance

-cocky, he'll likely let Deep land the first hit

Deep

+he's noticeably stronger

+gets a free shot

-he's a coward

-extremely prone to HL's sonic scream

The Deep has a 9-A end.

And also, this comment makes an extremely good point for Deep.

I mean, what really stops The Deep from punching through Homelander's head? He has the ap gap to unironically do that incredibly early on, Homelander's immortality doesn't cover such damage, and doesn't dodge for shit anyways.

7.5x gap is required for one shot and Homelander has a decent scaling chain on top of his value (the gap being already 7x).

I don't think its quite an one shot, but Homelander is at least getting his jaw dropped with a punch/severely wounded.

How the Match plays out after the initial hit, god knows.
