Does that mean Roman is billy butcher 😅

​@conatser this. I love Cody, but man, a Heel run would be fantastic.

[@ElAssoWipe-o]

Cody is not a good face. The guy is a woke dork. Vince Russo said it best, he's a heel.

Homelander if he had an actually good upbringing and wasn't a neurotic force of destruction

[@busterdog321]

That's what we think, but we only see him on screen. All of Homelanders TV appearances were perfectly crafted events. Cody might be backstage just zapping people with pyro lasers

[@FranklinDBluth]

Antony Starr was amazing in Banshee, so glad to see him get the recognition he deserves. Two different characters and both amazing, Hood and Homelander.

[@BrokenNoah]

Underrated show. Barely anyone talking about it now and I don't remember seeing it included in a lot of lists of top crime drama shows in recent years.

[@BrndnNZT48]

So underrated. Dude is right. Like almost nobody knows about this. My favorite show of all time

[@2jc937]

You should see him in "Outrageous Fortune"

[@zbug84]

You can def see the building blocks of Homelander in Sherrif Hood. More people need to watch Banshee

[@mattp98z81]

Banshee is probably in my top 3 best series of all time and I know not a single person who has seen it.. crazy

[@westnile21]

When Cody was in AEW and he came out to the first AEW Grand Slam show with the giant USA Flag cap he looked uncannily just like Homelander😂

[@kimchi2780]

He was also acting like a heel off and on thats when the comparisons started being made.

[@alternative7586]

​@@kimchi2780 yeah he also teased a heel turn when a segment between him and Sammy Guevara was over.

[@PhilUP]

Don’t think Cody will go heel, but if it ever does happen I want to see Homelander Cody.

To save his career he should

[@markelscott100]

He will i i think once he loses his rematch for another title shot he goes heel

[@wantu7816]

I feel like a wrestlemania lost in the future can really trigger a heel turn.

Antony Starr on Banshee is fantastic as well, for anyone who hasnt watched. I cant praise this show enough.

Bro, imagine if Cody turns heel, he takes on a Homelander persona. It would be cool.

[@fletchbtw6244]

Define honelander persona? Racist, likes breast milk, kills people he doesn’t like 😂 yeah erm I think the best he could do is just say he’s the hero not them and he’s better that all of them

Back then "The American Nightmare" name made sense...I'm surprised he kept that name when he came back to WWE as a Baby Face...but thats the only thing that could stand out rather than just plain ol' Cody Rhodes...

[@Thatdeal79]

@@danram247 The name is in homage of his father. Dusty was the American Dream so Cody is a Nightmare which is also a dream but gives him his own identity

​@@Thatdeal79It's a dumb as hell moniker for a white meat babyface.

[@LGBTPlayingGames]

@@Thatdeal79 If I'm not mistaken, an additional bonus homage/reference from calling himself "American Nightmare" is that one of Dusty's old enemies-turned-allies was the "*Russian* Nightmare" Nikita Koloff; that one could simply be coincidence, but what a hell of a coincidence if it's indeed also a reference to that.

Cody could definitely pull off Homelander-like heel his superpower is influence & negotiations as a corrupt and very deceptive politician, who knows how to talk & buy ppl into doing his bidding and is always step ahead, always chil well mannered but if someone stepped to him next thing you know they was found knocked out, busted open from a vicious attack no one knows who what, how or why but by his intimidating aura you know he was behind it. Cody is sitting on a gold mine of a heel persona, this babyface run should treated as buttering up the crowd before the surprise turn.

"he's gonna go full homelander" chill yall, Homelander hasn't even gone full homelander. If they were to do a homelander heel turn, they would have to do a super cena/codyverse run where the fans get sick of him and he starts to slowly lose it.

[@TheFailedmessiah]

When he goes heel, he will be homelander Cody and people will LOVE it. He will do horrible things and people will cheer for it.
