While I agree in theory, I think it shows a need for it in practice in even his own universe.Tbf, why need combat training when none is physically matching you and you can laser them to death, its like Death Battle put it, he is dominant in his universe, but outside it, there is always a bigger fish
Temp V Butcher, perhaps Soldier Boy, Queen Maeve... it might even help against Vicky Vale.
All of them could be more surmountable if he had some actual skill, be that in close combat, or more advanced uses of his powers.
Like, for example, Homelander has a sonic scream AND super-hearing! In theory, he could pull off some echo-location stuff to further enhance his perception, or even aim the sonic attacks based on how sound bounces off of surfaces.
It's unclear whether his heat vision beams are more percussive/puncturing/piercing or just heat. If they're heat, combine that with the force of moving air from a sonic attack, & he could in theory do remote welding or such.
Heck, now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if he would've been able to lift, or at least hold back/slow down that plane & carry it to safety if he beamed the wings off. They provide aerodynamic structure, so maybe not a good idea, but if it's already on a crash course & the way to save it is a hero holding it back, the reduced mass might matter.
I'm just speculating, but y'all get what I mean, right?
