[@fridgefreezer9529]

It's A-train last stop baby!

[@KNullHypothesis]

If he took that much, he'd just have a an overdose and probably another heart attack like immediately. Also there has to be a physical limitation to how much one can take and V still having an amping affect on the person. There are a limited number of receptors in the human body. Only so much of V can bind to so many cells before it is no longer useful to amp and instead ends up paralysing the person. Personally, I think A train vs Starlight is probably him at the peak of his strength. Like he literally has a stroke afterwards. Plus even if he was faster than Homelander, I don't think he could damage him. He gets his leg snapped in half by Kimiko who uses a metal rod. It's verbatim stated that Homelander can survive all kinds of artillery and that implied nukes as well. Unless A train becomes as powerful as HL somehow, there's not much chance of seeing that happen. Even Soldier Boy, Hughie and Butcher amped on V together couldn't jump him. It's theorised that Soldier Boy's V destroying radiation wouldn't even work, cuz V isn't just inside HL, he is fundamentally made of it and is technically the genetically perfect version of SB. Homelander maybe a diabolical villain, but he certainly isn't a fraud. If this happens, it's definitely to give A train some plot convenience before he dies.

[@notabot1039]

Lowkey I think this is a good debate, one thing to consider is that while he’s not faster than her lasers A-Train was able to move at a comparable speed to then to make them appear slow, whereas Starlight in season 3 could tag Soldier Boy with her blasts

Only going by the show, but A train is able to things like open doors while traveling in speed. He blew through a body without taking any damage himself while in speed. Also when he moves we don't see him till he stops, Homelander is seen when traveling most of the time. I think he maybe faster but limited to his normal sup reaction time.

@HolzHause right, I think Homelander is faster in flight, but is still limited in his sight and reactions to his normal super level.

I wouldnt say it was a side effect of being at a that speed. It was the temp v abuse causing him heart problems making him weaker. So he could be alot faster now

[@randomguy3034]

Maybe A train will do so much V that hell rough up Honelander before his heart explodes

[@Calvin-dn7up]

When has Homelander ever moved as fast as A-Train? Plus A-Train is Faster with his New Heart

[@_Yombo]

He shows proof and you still ask?

[@ZA-7]

​@@_Yombothere's a difference between top speed (while flying) and being absolutely fast (movement and more)

[@TheOverseerofFiction]

Hopefully we’ll see this battle soon enough

[@silver7knight389]

My understanding is that Homelander can generate faster speed while flying in a straight line, but he isn't capable of small distance speed and fast object manipulation, like entering a moving car, or making an origami under a second. Stuff like that

[@marcroth2844]

A-Train has better use of his speed otherwise HL would've blitzed Butcher, Soldier Boy and Mave. That explosion feat is insane but with A-Trains new heart his capabilities may be considerably higher than before

[@dustking_edits]

I kinda want A train to survive the fight but at the cost of loosing his powers with would be the perfect redemption and arc for his character

@@_Yombono he didn’t, he ignored other moments in the show, like even in the last episode with MM & the hospital, where we’ve seen A-Train move faster. And Homelander gets punched by regular attacks, so his reaction speed is not as fast.

I like how homelander saved butcher from the explosion with super speed, demonstrating that he is very capable of saving lives like a real hero but he seldom does for the right reasons

[@Pyrodagoat]

He's very incompetent in situations like saving people

[@jimmybob-rz2ht]

It doesn't matter who's faster, soldier boy was the only one who at the time could've beaten homelander. A-train couldn't have killed him either way. He is essentially invincible. A-train isn't.

It's known that homelander is the most powerful in the Boys universe. Soldier is only stronger if he just uses his crazy Explosion, but thats an exception

[@decysion8011]

It doesn't even matter if A-Train was faster. It would be like with Omni Man and Red Rush. He just couldn't inflict enough damage to severely hurt Homelander no matter what

[@Cipher_Paul]

You're wrong about A-Train's speed. During his training we see him run around a running track in 1 second, and even less. And considering running track are standardized at 400 meters, which would put him at more than 900 mph and his brother said he was off. So his top speed is very probably in excess of 1000 mph like it was said right before his race. Which is 444.44 m/s or Mach 1.3. That's nowhere nearly Homelander's Mach 2 to Mach 4, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be precise.

[@zelgie3013]

What if a train runs fast enough to open a portal into the past and made sure homelander was never born?

[@_Yombo]

He's nowhere near that fast

[@gbaboy313]

He’d have a heart attack before he got anywhere close to that speed

@@KaveEditz 😂 well is a parody

[@freashty]

Suspicious calc, afaik there's not really a good reason to believe that homelander was actually moving faster than the impulse of the explosion, especially since that speed would have killed Billy In season 3 non amped a train is able to carry Hughie off the roof faster than homelander can catch up to him Doing calcs based off of a live action feat seems kind of silly at its core anyway, the director is absolutely not concerned with portraying anyone in a "canon" sense in terms of the filmography

[@AdaptedInfiltrator]

I kind of agree with your logic regarding the explosion but at the same time, wouldn’t A-Train also have killed Hughie when he saved him from Homelander?

[@Underated_Editz]

He also openly breaks the sound barrier when looking for translucent without breaking a sweat so even without a calc he’s way faster

I'm really curious and excited to find out what makes this a dusttale au, but that ending just might be what we were looking for! Something really cool I noticed was that despite the reset, you still had to save over your old file from the Throne Room, which might elude as to why someone might remember, but I'm definitely interested to see what's to come!

[@captaincooool]

A Train feels like that redemption arc we've all been waiting to see from someone. His brother even said that he never saved anyone. That scene when he busted in on the fight with The Deep and Black Noir was lit.

[@marcomartina4690]

using physic for a superhero serie is like using a tv cable as a scarf

[@skullccrusher]

May be Honelander did not run fast to avoid that blast. May be he guarded butcher from that blast and moved him safely out of it. Bcz we saw Butcher had some injusies on his face afterr that. So Homelander did not guard him that well.

[@joffles6516]

homelander ALSO grabbed stillwells baby and dropped him off in the neighbors yard before it got blown up, making it even more impressive

[@theguywhoasked2957]

[@zionfn6812]

Correct me if im wrong but the only reason a train was using v was because he was regressing.So his amped up form was prolly still worse than what he was in his prime.who knows how much of a difference his new heart makes better or worse

[@itisntm3]

I always looked at it as A Train was afraid of him because he knew he couldn’t outrun him.

[@ainsleyharriottsspicymeat8909]

A-Train would have to be caught off guard surely? Because if he saw Homelander’s lasers about to laser him he’d move (as he would see the lasers in incredibly slow motion)

[@Rooozle]

I imagine A-Train has a time slowing effect that dramatically boosts his combat effectiveness.

[@NighScaling]

This was funny to find out It makes sense, the fastest is Homelander but marketing wise the "Speedster" would sell a lot more if he was labelled the fastest

[@sheep2826]

Remember that it was a big deal that Atrain received a heart transplant from Blue Hawk and having a “super abled heart” not only resolved his heart problems but could reasonably be argued enhanced his powers even more.

[@moonlightblade11]

The fact that a-train cowards at every homelander word shows that he knows he can't take him on and since he cares more for his life than any else he will remain quiet unless he's going to die then he'll take as many people with him as possible.

[@libragaming97]

Homelanders flex is how lightly he uses his powers takes like almost no effort for him to kill someone he only has issues when it’s someone he loves especially hates

[@thegeneral19]

I'm going to assume that is Homelanders flying speed, not running speed. Also reaction time is different then max speed, just because you can dodge something doesn't mean you can run fast.

[@yourdad1045]

Don't forget that he also saved Stillwell's baby, Homelander also left Butcher's apartment without making a sound

[@tommyapples8490]

Homelander didn't save Stillwell's baby!. In season 2 at the orphanage for super babies that Hughie goes to Teddy Stillwell was there and he had teleportation powers. He's the little boy that just appeared and scared Hughie. The adoption lady even calls him Teddy Stillwell

[@SAGETAKES]

It’s crazy to me that Homelander is faster yet A-Train’s valuable for his speed. It’s like Homelander has the entire package, especially when it comes to Tek-Knight.

[@InfiniteEscuro]

I always felt like that scene of Homelander being fast enough to save Butcher was a case of the writers straight up not realising how fast that makes him. Given that his flight speed is only about 40% faster than A-Train's amped running speed, and the two actual fights we've seen him in are way slower than either thing. They're probably moving faster than humans, sure, but unless you also want to scale Temp-V Butcher and Hughie to being that much faster than A-Train as well, since they were fighting Homelander and not being blitz'd, I feel like it's honestly just a weird outlier. We see A-Train fight at speed against Kimiko, and he's clearly moving faster compared to her by enough to blitz, but Homelander is moving relative to everyone else in that scene. And I just don't think temp V allows someone to move that much faster than a Supe whose whole deal is speed. Unless season 4 has repeated speed scaling which makes that speed consistent, I personally feel iffy about actually including it in debates. Combat speed is almost always slower than travel speed.

[@ttwice5260]

no, its still a feat but it scales A train since the show states he is the fastest, but either way A train cant hurt Homelander so does not matter

[@gamersvr6379]

Tbh, I do think it's not even close, if I'm not mistaken Homelander can even fly faster than A-Train, BUT Queen Maeve vs Homelander is a fight that shouldn't even have been close either, but Maeve shoved that metal rod into Homelander's ear, and then again, if I'm also not mistaken, Homelander wasn't paying attention to her the moment she did that, had she shoved it just a little deeper, Homelander could say bye-bye to his brain. It is all reliant on the plot, A-Train could actually end up putting one hell of a fight against Homelander if the writers wanted to.
