For those unfamiliar, a fan wearing a Homelander costume at a Superman screening carries significant meaning. The character, portrayed as a psychopathic and sadistic narcissist who serves as the immensely powerful leader of The Seven, has frequently been compared to Superman and Captain America.
In fact, his character was designed as an evil counterpart to Superman and Captain America in terms of powerset and costume. Homelander and Superman share most of the same abilities, including flight, super-strength, and heat vision, but Homelander employs his powers for intimidation and to seek adulation. He also utilizes his heat vision in a much less controlled manner compared to Superman.
