It’s one of the oldest arguments in superhero fandom: who would win in a fight? Power-scaling and favoritism and just pure logic have fueled the debate few years, and there have even been quite a few officially-licensed multiversal crossovers over the years setting out to answer the question.
The latest to join that foray is DC K.O: Boss Battle, a new one-shot set in the middle of DC’s no-holds-barred battle royale event, DC K.O. The issue, which is available wherever comics are sold this week, was first teased at last year’s New York Comic Con, with promo art confirming cameos from characters from wildly different publishers and franchises like Mortal Kombat, Annabelle, and Red Sonja. But the biggest inclusion was undoubtedly Homelander, the “evil Superman” of The Boys franchise who has become a household name in recent years. Boss Battle has teased that Superman would finally, canonically face off against his darker counterpart… and now, we know who won the battle.
