However, arguably the most powerful of them all is set to land in Mortal Kombat 1 imminently, in the form of the sinister Homelander.<\/p>\n
Portrayed by Antony Starr in the gory satire TV show The Boys<\/a>, Homelander is the leader of an elite superhero team that is managed, owned and marketed by a mega corporation called Vought International.<\/p>\n On the surface, Homelander looks like a Superman wannabe, with his slick costume and wavy cape, emblazoned with the American flag. But his apparent patriotism is all a cover for his own self-centred and violent nature that grows more and more terrifying as the show goes on.<\/p>\n Starr\u2019s performance is electrifying, and he\u2019s easily made Homelander one of TV\u2019s scariest villains.<\/p>\n But his explosive powers and unrivalled strength also make him a superb candidate for a Mortal Kombat game. How will the likes of Scorpion and Sub-Zero fare against him? We don\u2019t have long to wait until we can find out.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a closer look at when Homelander is set to land in Mortal Kombat 1.<\/p>\n Homelander will be landing in Mortal Kombat 1 on 4th June 2024<\/strong>, if you are a Kombat Pack owner.<\/p>\n However, if that isn\u2019t you, then fear not \u2013 as he will be available to the wider gaming community on 11th June 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n That just about gives you enough time to binge The Boys if you haven\u2019t already seen it. Alternatively, read Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson\u2019s cult graphic novel<\/a> of the same name that Amazon adapted for the TV show. Just be prepared, as it\u2019s not for the squeamish.<\/p>\n [squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d653\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n From the announcement trailer, several things are clear when it comes to Homelander\u2019s gameplay style in Mortal Kombat 1.<\/p>\n Firstly, he looks to be a nimble character to play as<\/strong>, smoothly gliding just above the ground \u2013 which means he has a fair reach when it comes to striking an opponent with punches and kicks.<\/p>\n The deadly lasers in his eyes are also at the player\u2019s disposal<\/strong>, and can be used in quick bursts as part of a combination of attacks, or in one slightly longer blast. It\u2019s reminiscent of how Superman plays in the Injustice games.<\/p>\n One of his special moves involves launching an opponent into the air and zapping them with a laser<\/strong> in the torso once they come crashing to the ground. But it\u2019s the Fatalities we all want to know about, right?<\/p>\nWhen is the MK1 Homelander release date?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
