Unlike Homelander, Shazam has actually fought villains on his level of strength. Not to mention, he's much faster, reaching hypersonic speeds by taking Sivana to the stratosphere. Homelander also hasn't faced a shock quite like Zeus' lightning.
Homelander may appear strong, but he would be no match for characters like Superman or Wonder Woman in a face-to-face battle. Green Lantern's ring and Zatanna's magical abilities could easily trap or defeat Homelander, showing that physical strength isn't always necessary.
Shazam Has The Power Of Gods But Is Still Just A Child
Like many other DC characters, Batson would also be shocked and overwhelmed by Omni-Man's incredibly direct, deadly, fighting style. Even with the help of Shazam's adopted and empowered family, they are simply not prepared for a warmongering disaster like Omni-Man.
Even breaking the rules of this comparison and factoring in a world where Homelander can attain access to a supply of the rare mineral Kryptonite, Superman's superior tactical knowledge and combat training would still likely best Homelander in a Homelander vs Superman fight.
Homelander is too fast (faster than sound), too loud and the calorific sight allows him to fight from a distance while also using flight. Spider-Man can get as angry as he wants, but in a fight he couldn't beat the best "supereoe" of the boys.
While both are feared in their own universes, a fight between Thanos and Homelander would only end in one way - with the total annihilation and destruction of the patriotic member of The Seven.
Many believe that Homelander is unstoppable, but he is nowhere near as strong as Goku. Homelander can level a major city without much difficulty, but Goku can destroy the entire planet with a single Ki blast. Homelander's body may be tough, but it's not that tough.
Homelander wouldn't know what to do if he ever came across somebody as strong as himself, much less somebody far more powerful. Hulk could quickly flick the antagonist of The Boys across the Atlantic Ocean.
On their own, both these noble heroes are capable of beating incredible forces. But for all Shazam's power, he does not match Thor's experience in using the more arcane elements of his abilities.
Shazam is very powerful, but he just doesn't stand a chance against an Odinforce and Power Cosmic enhanced Thor. Shazam would put up a good fight for a bit, but Thor would be able to overpower him and take him out.
Who is the strongest Black Adam Superman or Shazam?
In terms of actual STRENGTH, Shazam and Black Adam are equal, and are usually considered on par with Superman. As Supes once said, “If there IS a difference, it's too small to measure.” Note, however, that Adam will appear stronger, as, unlike Shazam and Superman, Black Adam has NO hesitation to unleash his full power.
While there's no denying the depravity of Homelander, Butcher is the darker character - mostly because he's shown to fully understand how evil his choices actually are, and yet continue regardless.
Blunt Force/Limited Durability: Homelander can be wounded and killed by someone who is as strong as or stronger than him, such as in the case of Black Noir.
Despite the two being identical, the fight goes in favor of Black Noir. Even after losing an arm in Homelander's initial attack, Noir is able to overpower him and emerge victorious, even if so terribly wounded that Butcher can finally take him out.
Thor is The God of Thunder while Homelander is just a product of an experiment on Earth. Homelander is no doubt incredibly powerful but he will be no match for Thor's godly powers. He has cosmic abilities and with Mjolnir and Stormbreaker, he will defeat the supervillain without much effort.
Originally Answered: Is Soldier Boy more powerful than Homelander in the boys? No. Homelander is more powerful, but Soldier Boy is nearly on par. Though maybe his radiation blasts are more powerful than Homelander.
Furthermore, Homelander could also gain an advantage over Superman if he got his hands on Kryptonite. But without that, there are more scenarios where Superman would emerge victorious. Billy Butcher and Soldier Boy managed to come out on top when they fought Homelander. So, Superman would easily do that as well.
Even if he does not share a weakness like Kryptonite with Superman, he does share a few. Homelander's X-ray vision cannot see through zinc, while Superman's cannot see through copper. Another weakness he shares with Superman is his vulnerability to high-frequency sounds.
Wonder Woman clearly outmatches him in fighting capability since nearly all he does is punch and laser people weaker than him. One major advantage that Wonder Woman has are her Bracelets of Submission. They are nearly indestructible; able to block Krypotian heat vision and Darkseid's omega beams.
This Gen V revelation not only proves that Homelander has a clear weakness but also highlights how Supersonic was literally a walking weapon against several supes in The Boys and could even kill Homelander with his Sonic Clap powers.
In terms of speed, power, and durability, Superman and Goku (in SSJ2) are pretty much even. However, Goku's martial arts training gives him an edge against Superman. Superman might have gotten some training as well, but it has not been covered or written about as extensively as Goku's.
While Superman would easily be able to defeat Homelander, he'd truly meet his match against the viltrumite, Omni-Man. The two aliens possess planet-shattering strength, enhanced durability and senses, superhuman speed, quick reflexes, and flight.
