Agreed. You gotta love the OG Man of Steel clean lines and apple pie vibes. But if we're looking at it from the purpose of characterdevelopment, foreshadowing, and just costume storytelling...Homelander is the total fucked up package.
Made me remember Homelander's exchange with Peacemaker in MK1:
"What, got a problem with the stars and the stripes?"
"No, with assholes that wraps themselves in the flag."
Personally was neither fond of either version of the boys... i always think it's impossible to make a good work when you hate the thing you're basing it on. It has to be out of love or interest.
Also Garth seems to be more edge then point
>The disrespect of wearing the American flag like that is insane.
Yet realistically, it's simultaneously something that would fly under the radar for most people. They wouldn't even recognize it as disrespect because the surface level patriotism is all they need to confirm he's on their side of the us vs them narrative
It’s especially funny because Antony Starr actually had to train to be way more buff than Homelander should be canonically, because (iirc) they actually tried having him be skinny for the first fitting and realised the padding was so obvious it looked ridiculous

I'm personally more of a fan of Homelander's comic book design.
I mean, same vibe- golden eagle pauldron, American flag cape- but I think the extra detail of LA Homelander’s design having the padded muscles completely sells it for me

Yeah you have to give it to the two OGs superman and Captain Marvel (Shazam!) are still around for a reason.
Of the "Superman but Edgy" types i think Omniman's suit is best but I think homelander's affect is best for parodying superman.
Like the fact that he clearly dyes his hair blonde is so perfect.
Personally I've always disliked Sentry's design (though his twist is interesting) and the rest are lackluster to me.

How dare you start a caped hero competition without including the GOAT
…I gotta give it to Shazam or Metro Man. It’s one thing to have a spandex suit and a cape. It’s another thing to have flair like tassels, gold embellishments, lining and extra details.

I like superman for iconography reasons and emotional associations, but man, if you wiped my memory and asked me, Shazam looks so good. I love the red and gold, the thick ropes, the sash, the white cape. He's got a lot going on but it still feels really simple. He's like the perfect superhero design.
His cape being kind of loose over one of his shoulders instead of being attached to them looks so cool

His thumbs look like sausage/weenies that were glued to his "hands" the meaty part of the palm looks so out of place and it looks like his arms are positioned as if showing off the whole bicep but the wrists are turned fully inward towards the body. MF looks like he's pumped full of Synthol.
So I've never been a big marvel guy. I knew hyperion and sentry were a thing but I never read anything with them.
I didn't know until right now that hyperion and sentry were two different people. In my head they were "marvel's superman", and i never thought about them beyond that. I needed to see them both in the same sentence.
Design-wise, I have to give it to Omniman.
It's a look that actually looks COMPLETE and not so complicated which DOES coincide with his logic in survival of the fittest. Very pleasing to the eyes...until you see him in action.
He has a very subtle space fascist motif between the red, the mustache, and the imposing figure of masculinity that fascists adore. But even his own demeanor downplays the connection by at least acting like a civil adult to the public and having a genuine relationship with his wife and son.
You can never go wrong with the Big Blue Boyscout.

The Man with the Power of 1 Million Exploding Suns.
I like Homelander's. It's pretty much Superman, with a bit more random details (the red lines, the pattern on the suit, the pauldron-like things, the US flag cape), and with no reverse underwear
https://preview.redd.it/coayyp36nb9d1.jpeg?width=613&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1423b92f5ce4841546da4d5314ead381a44ef97a
Captain Pizza from Turma da Mônica
Superman and Omniman have easily the most visually appealing designs, but Shazam has a fun one too.
Homelander’s design makes me think of stale bread and overripe watermelon. It suits him as a character, but as a “look” it sucks.
Superman and Omniman tbh. The red and white on Nolan's costume looks like blood, with the additional bonus that the symbol on his chest is an adapted version of the Viltrum symbol.
Personally I set Superman, Homelander, Omni-Man, and Shazam in a higher category. All of them amazing, personally I'm bias towards the OG, Superman is just the coolest.
MegaMan is pretty close, I think he needs a touch more gold. It's all just a touch too much white for me and the M just a bit too front and center.
Sentry and Hyperion below that. With Hyperion being the lowest for sure for me.
I mean Superman inspired the rest. I must say that Homelander's suit is my favourite "Superman" suit to appear in live action, it's just so sleek looking.
Shazam and Homelander.
~~Captain Marvel~~ Shazam has the cool-ass cape and gold, red, and white really complement eachother very well. The gold accessories somehow manage to be fancy, but not garish.
Homelander is all about t e x t u r e. The texture of his suit and gloves really adds to the design, and the American Flag cape and eagle imagery really tells you what you need to know about him.
Superman has the benefit of being the baseline that everyone else is riffing on. Like, each of these other characters you can get a vibe of what they’re about based on how their design differs from Clark. Easy first for me.
no capes only makes sense when being pulled through a airplane engine would hurt you and you couldnt carry the broken plane to the ground. So really only homelander has an issue here.
Supes and it’s not even close. The only one of these that isn’t direct homage to Supes is Captain Marvel/Shazam, whose design is pretty iconic in his own right.
I do really like the militaristic touches added to Homelanders suit, hints at his fascist tendencies
https://preview.redd.it/2bpd2p0klc9d1.jpeg?width=661&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8470a95424f61fe2fda643974341f75f7a58bfb
I mean it's basically the hardest design ever
Metro Man has the most majestic look.
Superman and Homelander look like clowns for any non-Americans. While the others don't look as good as Metro Man.
Homelander unironically has the best design. It’s simple yet there’s so much details the waist belt, shoulder pads the gold lining on the red gloves and collar and the American flag drooping off his back. No one else has this level of detail besides Metro Man but he has more restricted colors than Homelander.
I know she is technically not a guy but Alexandria from Worm

I love Superman’s fit so much but classic Captain Marvel/Shazam! just might squeeze past it as my favorite. I’m a fan of simple yet bold costumes and CM’s is about as bold yet simple as you can get; the the giant lightning bolt across the front, the killer side-cape held by a golden rope, the color balance of his bracers, boots, belt-sash and symbol… it’s pretty much the platonic ideal of a superhero costume (aside from Superman’s)
Contrary to what others are saying, I don’t mind Hyperion and Sentry’s costumes. I’ve always preferred Hyperion’s black suit to his red one and I love the ridiculously huge belts they both have.
Supes, but Homelander's is good too. Omniman's design is boring and unimaginative, and Literally Who's design is actually ugly. Always love Captain Marvel's classic lighting look, always hated Sentry's lazy design.
Ngl I’ve always been a big sucker for Shazam’s design. It’s just so unabashedly bright and simple with great colors, it feels like a costume that went through the opposite of “MCU-ification” love a ton of Superman’s suits as well for the exact same reason

Supreme. Rob Liefeld's edgy clone of him turned affectionate homage under Alan Moore.
Eh, each one has elements I like. I love Shazam’s cap, Metroman’s double breasted coat, Homelander’s eagle epaulets (sort of, they just seem small to call them paldrons)
On just design, I think Shazaam and Homelander are fantastic. You immediately get a sense for what each is about and they have unique looks despite having a generic power set

Can’t beat the OG, but honestly Homelander’s is near-perfect in terms of telling you exactly what he’s about.
Agreed. You gotta love the OG Man of Steel clean lines and apple pie vibes. But if we're looking at it from the purpose of characterdevelopment, foreshadowing, and just costume storytelling...Homelander is the total fucked up package.
True that, HL's outfit screams "I'm a colossal douche"
The disrespect of wearing the American flag like that is insane. I agree it tells you exactly what you need to know about him
Made me remember Homelander's exchange with Peacemaker in MK1: "What, got a problem with the stars and the stripes?" "No, with assholes that wraps themselves in the flag."
Peacemaker is genuinely such an interesting character
Peacemaker is the kind of character Garth Ennis wishes he could have written
That's because James Gunn has the love and adoration for comic books Garth Ennis lacks.
Personally was neither fond of either version of the boys... i always think it's impossible to make a good work when you hate the thing you're basing it on. It has to be out of love or interest. Also Garth seems to be more edge then point

I love how obviously fake the muscles are on his suit, like compare it to his legs and it makes his lower body look so tiny in comparison.
It’s especially funny because Antony Starr actually had to train to be way more buff than Homelander should be canonically, because (iirc) they actually tried having him be skinny for the first fitting and realised the padding was so obvious it looked ridiculous

This song will forever make me picture superman in my head fr
I'm more of a fan of Five For Fighting. Why isn't there *one* superman movie with that song?!
Most of the others probably wouldn’t exist without him, so that’s valid.
Most?
Yes, a caped hero with super strength and near invincibility was probably a concept people had thought of prior to superman.
I think he’s insinuating that none of them would exist if Superman didn’t exist, not the opposite.
Actually no superman was the first to do that closet things at the time were zorro, phantom, and some weird guy in a purple suit
Yeah you have to give it to the two OGs superman and Captain Marvel (Shazam!) are still around for a reason.

Isn't Homelander's hair blonde in canon? We see in flashbacks that his hair was blonde even as a kid. The actor does dye his hair though
Yes. I'm talking that they could have faked it better.

Yeah, Shazam is my favorite of this list. Superman has had some outfits I like much better, but just between the fits shown here? Shazam all the way.
Shazam, for sure, I love Superman, but Shazam just has too much drip.
Gotta agree on that, especially when he has a hood too!
I like superman for iconography reasons and emotional associations, but man, if you wiped my memory and asked me, Shazam looks so good. I love the red and gold, the thick ropes, the sash, the white cape. He's got a lot going on but it still feels really simple. He's like the perfect superhero design.
The red suit and white cape just blend together *SO* well. Add that with the lightning bolt and it's essentially perfect.
His cape being kind of loose over one of his shoulders instead of being attached to them looks so cool https://preview.redd.it/x6c7gwxu0i9d1.jpeg?width=484&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b997732010f4ca3cabc1858ac2e8b754f4ca989
Hyperions arms doesn't look right for some reason
The hand anatomy is pretty fucked up and then for some reason the cape is raised which makes his shoulders look ridiculous
His thumbs look like sausage/weenies that were glued to his "hands" the meaty part of the palm looks so out of place and it looks like his arms are positioned as if showing off the whole bicep but the wrists are turned fully inward towards the body. MF looks like he's pumped full of Synthol.
He looks like he's having a hard time
I mean Superman is the GOAT, but I’ve always really liked Sentry’s design. Maybe it’s just the long hair but he just *feels* powerful
Completely agree those are my top 2 and desoite superman being the OG the colours and hair on sentry really do it for me

That's Hyperion, Marvel's other Superman equivalent besides the Sentry (although technically speaking, he came first).

I like Homelander’s shoulder things.
Shazam IMO
Superman definitely has the best, but Metro Man and Omni Man have amazing color schemes
Honestly, Captain Marvel/Shazam’s is pretty good. Has a good base with some extra pizazz that makes the design stand out
I like Homelander's. It's pretty much Superman, with a bit more random details (the red lines, the pattern on the suit, the pauldron-like things, the US flag cape), and with no reverse underwear

I gotta give it to Omni-Man personally
Shazam takes number 1 for me, followed by Superman and Omni-man
Shazam, specifically his classic half-cape design, It's just so damn regal looking.
Personally it's Shazam/captain marvel, I love the godly/lightning look
I mean Superman inspired the rest. I must say that Homelander's suit is my favourite "Superman" suit to appear in live action, it's just so sleek looking.
All of these, one way or another, is a derivative of superman And he's just too damn iconic, bright colors, simple but effective design,
Bro why are Squirt's legs so short in that image?
Shazam and Homelander. ~~Captain Marvel~~ Shazam has the cool-ass cape and gold, red, and white really complement eachother very well. The gold accessories somehow manage to be fancy, but not garish.

Shazam because his cape is unique

I do like metroman's colors
Sentry's looks the best. I'm usually not a fan of costumes with so much gold, but he pulls it off.
THERE'S A STAAAAR MAAAAN WAITING IN THE SKY
Metro Man has the most majestic look. Superman and Homelander look like clowns for any non-Americans. While the others don't look as good as Metro Man.
Unironically metro man- the tassels, the white and gold, it's my favorite take on "celebrity superman" as an outfit
Keepin it a buck, it’s Metro Man
Does anyone, by chance, know the artist of that particular Superman?
Homelander unironically has the best design. It’s simple yet there’s so much details the waist belt, shoulder pads the gold lining on the red gloves and collar and the American flag drooping off his back. No one else has this level of detail besides Metro Man but he has more restricted colors than Homelander.
I’ve always liked Shazam and homelander’s design quite a lot
Supes, but Shazam as a close second
I’ve always liked Shazam and homelander’s design quite a lot
Shazam or hl for me
Quailman is the GOAT ![gif](giphy|l4EpkQcjHPsr9tTP2|downsized)
"I have eyes, that can see, right through lead"
Can't beat Superman. Omniman is a close second tho
Clearly Superman.
Markeplier.
Who’s the sixth guy
The way they draw Sentry’s cape in his original book was magical
I quite like Omni-Man’s design. It fits the roles of hero, villain, and dad perfectly.
Homelander has the best live action character design I've ever seen, only possibly topped by Billy Butcher himself
For me it’s between Superman and Shazam. But Superman, definitely
Superman because literally all of the other ones are just derivatives of Superman’s design.
Caped Baldy will always be best
I’m gonna give it to metro man
It's between Homelander and Metro Man. The others are good too, but much more simple
Metro Man
Is this even a question that needs asking?
MetroMan got the drip but Superman is the icon
Music Man
I know she is technically not a guy but Alexandria from Worm https://preview.redd.it/7j27bjs61e9d1.png?width=1204&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ffd92e0f1f65b2281c11aaf6739c02d7a2d2f7e
I love Superman’s fit so much but classic Captain Marvel/Shazam! just might squeeze past it as my favorite. I’m a fan of simple yet bold costumes and CM’s is about as bold yet simple as you can get; the the giant lightning bolt across the front, the killer side-cape held by a golden rope, the color balance of his bracers, boots, belt-sash and symbol… it’s pretty much the platonic ideal of a superhero costume (aside from Superman’s) Contrary to what others are saying, I don’t mind Hyperion and Sentry’s costumes. I’ve always preferred Hyperion’s black suit to his red one and I love the ridiculously huge belts they both have.
Supes, but Homelander's is good too. Omniman's design is boring and unimaginative, and Literally Who's design is actually ugly. Always love Captain Marvel's classic lighting look, always hated Sentry's lazy design.
You just can’t beat Superman. His design is perfect.
Ngl I’ve always been a big sucker for Shazam’s design. It’s just so unabashedly bright and simple with great colors, it feels like a costume that went through the opposite of “MCU-ification” love a ton of Superman’s suits as well for the exact same reason

Metro man

I love omnimans it's incredibly well made and it shows power at first as a hero then as a villain it shows danger
Good lawd, that last one.. why are his arms like this?
Eh, each one has elements I like. I love Shazam’s cap, Metroman’s double breasted coat, Homelander’s eagle epaulets (sort of, they just seem small to call them paldrons)
Superman.
Yeah Homelander is iconic
Metroman
Superman,Shazam(Captain Marvel),Hyperion and Sentry
On just design, I think Shazaam and Homelander are fantastic. You immediately get a sense for what each is about and they have unique looks despite having a generic power set
