Which 'Hero' Is More Evil?

As the comic series continues, Invincible (Steven Yeun) eventually discovers his dad on a far-off planet, working to save its inhabitants from the scourge of the Vultrumite empire. Incredibly, it seems to be Mark himself who has shifted Nolan’s point of view, and the two begin to team up at this point to stop the genocidal expansion of the Viltrumites from crushing the universe under its weighty heel.

Meanwhile, the narcissistic murderer Homelander only sinks into further moral depravity as “The Boys” continues in its original form. His final arc sees him waging a war on humanity and committing various horrific atrocities along the way. Thus, Homelander, like most characters in the Frankenstein’s-monster archetype, inevitably becomes the walking terror he was made to be despite once being capable of good.

On the other hand, though Omni-Man may never be able to wash the blood of his countless victims from his red-gloved hands, he does at least try to change and address his past mistakes in hopes of building a better future for everyone. With this obvious distinction in mind, Homelander is incapable of change and is clearly more evil than Omni-Man, despite both characters sharing the distinction of being villainous takes on Superman.
