I’m Homelander!” “All you have to do is give me your adoration and love, and you’ll get a perfect, universe-class hero!” “As for where the water and fire come from… does it matter?” As the entire Marvel Universe goes wild cheering for Homelander, Dormammu, Thanos, Galactus, and the others finally realize in terror… This man’s popularity has grown so powerful that he can grind them all into the dirt!
