Of all of theKombat Pack 1 Kombatants, Homelander was probably the one thatMortal Kombat 1players were most excited about. The popular comic book character rose to prominence following the success ofThe Boyson Amazon Prime Video, thanks both to the character’s dastardly antics and some fantastic performances from Antony Starr.
Sadly, despite the New Zealand-born actor being open to voicing Homelander inMortal Kombat 1, a deal could not be struck. TheMK1Homelander still shares Starr’s physical likeness, though, not to mention his sadistic nature. This is particularly evident in Homelander’s Fatalities, which perfectly capture his complicated character and fragile psyche.

Homelander’s first Fatality is called Winging It and can be performed by pressingDown,Forward,Down,Front Kick(X on PlayStation, A on Xbox, or B on Switch) while standing atmedium range. If done correctly, Homelander will uppercut the other Kombatant high into the air, causing them to be hit by a passenger plane. He then flies up to meet them; peeling them off of the plane’s nose and then throwing them into its engine, which leads to the plane exploding. This is of course a reference to the botched rescue mission in the fourth episode ofThe Boys, in whichHomelander causes the deaths of hundreds of innocent peopleby destroying the cockpit controls of a hijacked plane.
To perform Homelander’s second Fatality, players will need to pressBack,Forward,Back,Back Punch(Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox, or X on Switch) while standing atmedium range. Once triggered,Homelander will use his laser eyesto slice off his opponent’s legs and then switch his focus over to their face. Slowly but surely, the beams melt through the other Kombatant’s skull before exploding violently out of the other side. Homelander’s not quite finished just yet though, with one final blast of his eye lasers slicing what’s left of the other fighter clean in two.
