7 Shocking Ways Invincible Would Decimate The Boys' Entire Universe (Power Scaling Settled In 2025)

The debate has raged across the internet since the first brutal punch landed in both series: which show is better, and more importantly, who would win in a fight? As of December 15, 2025, with *Invincible* Season 3 and *The Boys* Season 4 now providing the latest and most brutal power feats, the answer to the latter question is clearer—and more shocking—than ever. While both series have dominated the superhero landscape on Amazon Prime Video by deconstructing the genre, their approaches to power, narrative, and moral ambiguity are fundamentally different, leading to an astronomical power disparity that settles the 'who would win' argument definitively.

The core conflict—Mark Grayson (Invincible) vs. Homelander—is less a fair fight and more a spectacular, one-sided demolition. Fans often compare the two because they are the flagship "dark superhero" shows, but a deep dive into the latest power scaling proves that the Viltrumite Empire operates on a galactic, planet-busting level, while Vought International’s Supes, powered by Compound V, are essentially limited to an Earth-based, albeit terrifyingly strong, tier. This article breaks down the seven crucial reasons why Invincible and his universe would utterly decimate The Boys’ world.

The Viltrumite Power Scaling: Mark Grayson's Latest Feats

To understand the massive power gap, we must first look at the main combatants and their latest confirmed abilities. The power ceiling in *Invincible* is orders of magnitude higher than anything seen in *The Boys*.

• Mark Grayson (Invincible): A half-Viltrumite, Mark's strength grows exponentially with age and experience. His most notable feats, even pre-Season 3, include surviving an orbital bombardment, fighting his father, Omni-Man, in a city-destroying battle, and throwing a baseball hard enough to leave Earth's atmosphere. By Season 3, his training and exposure to other Viltrumite-level threats (like the Sequids or the Lizard League) push him into a class where he can withstand forces that would vaporize Homelander instantly.
• Nolan Grayson (Omni-Man): Nolan's established feats—destroying the planet Viltrumite-style, flying across star systems in minutes, and effortlessly killing the original Guardians of the Globe—set the base power level for the Viltrumite race. He is, without question, a planet-buster.
• The Guardians of the Globe: While they are often defeated, heroes like Immortal and Atom Eve still possess abilities (near-immortality and matter manipulation, respectively) that exceed any of The Seven's capabilities, save perhaps for Homelander's durability, which is still vastly inferior.

The Viltrumite Empire is the ultimate entity of power in the *Invincible* universe. Their goal is galactic domination, and their power is measured in cosmic terms, making them a threat to entire civilizations, not just a single country or corporation like Vought.

The Vought Power Ceiling: Homelander's Limitations

Homelander, the strongest supe created by Vought International through Compound V, is the undisputed apex predator of his world. However, in a crossover scenario, his strengths become clear limitations.

• Homelander: His powers include flight, super-strength, super-speed (though not at Mark's level), near-invulnerability (except to Soldier Boy's radiation and possibly his own son, Ryan), and devastating heat vision. His most impressive feat is tanking a nuclear-level blast from Soldier Boy and surviving.
• The Seven: The rest of The Seven (A-Train, Starlight, The Deep, etc.) are all below Homelander, with most being vulnerable to conventional weapons, extreme force, or specific weaknesses.
• Soldier Boy: A powerful supe from the past, his energy blast can temporarily depower other supes, but his physical strength is still nowhere near the Viltrumite tier.

The key takeaway is that Homelander's strength is measured in "building-level" or "city-block-level" destruction. He fears a normal missile. He struggles with a determined, non-powered Butcher. He simply does not possess the physical mass, speed, or durability to even survive a single serious punch from a Viltrumite.

7 Reasons Invincible Wins (The Power Disparity)

The debate ends here. Here is the definitive list of why Mark Grayson and the *Invincible* universe would utterly destroy Homelander and the entire roster of Vought's Supes.

1. Speed: The Unbeatable Advantage

Homelander's speed is impressive by human standards, but Mark Grayson's is relativistic. Viltrumites can fly across star systems, travel from Earth to the Moon in seconds, and move at speeds that create sonic booms just by flexing. Homelander has never demonstrated the ability to break the sound barrier consistently in combat. Mark would be an invisible blur to Homelander, ending the fight before the Vought leader could even process the threat. This is the single biggest power disparity between the two characters.

2. Planet-Busting Strength vs. Building-Level Strength

Omni-Man's infamous moment of flying through an entire planet with another Viltrumite sets the scale. Mark, while still growing, is on this same trajectory. Homelander, in contrast, has never destroyed anything larger than a small building and is shown to struggle with heavy lifting. A serious punch from Mark would not just break Homelander's bones; it would likely turn him into a fine red mist, similar to how Omni-Man dispatched the Guardians of the Globe.

3. Durability: Surviving Space vs. Surviving a Missile

Viltrumites routinely fight in the vacuum of space, survive re-entry into a planet's atmosphere, and endure attacks from cosmic-level threats. Homelander's durability, while high, is still Earth-bound. He can be stunned, bruised, and is constantly concerned about a weapon that could kill him. The pressure and temperature of a Viltrumite's full-force punch would exceed any force Homelander has ever encountered, instantly bypassing his invulnerability.

4. The Heat Vision Mismatch

Homelander’s heat vision is his primary ranged weapon, capable of slicing through planes and people. However, Mark has survived attacks from other Viltrumites, which are essentially super-powered laser blasts. Furthermore, the solar flare feat in the *Invincible* comics demonstrates Mark's ability to survive extreme heat and energy. Homelander's laser eyes would feel like a warm bath to Invincible at best, proving completely ineffective.

5. The Entire Viltrumite Empire vs. Vought International

If the fight were between the entire universes, the Viltrumite Empire would conquer The Boys' Earth in a single day. The Seven and all of Vought's Supes, including Queen Maeve, Soldier Boy, and Stormfront, would be wiped out by a single Viltrumite like Nolan or Thraag. The combined might of the Guardians of the Globe (even the new roster) would still be a far greater threat to the world than The Seven ever were.

6. Thematic Differences: Reconstruction vs. Social Satire

Beyond power, the narrative goals of the shows are vastly different. *The Boys* is a pure social satire and a deconstruction of the superhero genre, using Compound V and supes to critique celebrity culture, corporate power, and political corruption. *Invincible*, conversely, is a reconstruction of classic superhero comics. It starts with tropes and then explores the deep, personal trauma of being a hero, building a fully fleshed-out, multi-dimensional superhero world. This difference in scope—political realism versus cosmic sci-fi—is why the power levels can never truly align.

7. Character Writing and Moral Ambiguity

While *The Boys* excels at black comedy and a cynical view of power, *Invincible* often boasts a deeper focus on character writing and the emotional toll of heroism. Mark Grayson's journey is about choosing to be a hero despite the monster he could become, navigating moral ambiguity with genuine, human struggle. Homelander is a narcissistic psychopath with a god complex. The complexity of Mark's character arc—balancing college, a girlfriend, and saving the galaxy—gives the show a depth of heart that many fans argue makes it the superior narrative, even if *The Boys* has better humor and a more grounded concept.

The Crossover: How Invincible Would Handle Vought

The concept of a crossover, often discussed on forums, would be anticlimactic in terms of combat. If Mark Grayson were transported to The Boys' universe, he would instantly recognize Homelander as a dangerous, but ultimately weak, tyrant. Mark's initial goal would be to neutralize the threat, and he would do so with extreme prejudice if necessary.

The entire Vought operation, including all their secret labs and the distribution of Compound V, would be exposed and dismantled within a week by Mark and his allies. The power of a single Viltrumite is so immense that the entire army of the United States, let alone The Seven, could not stop them. The only real threat to Mark in that universe would be the moral compromise of killing a weaker opponent, a struggle that defines his entire character.

In the end, while *The Boys* offers a sharper, more cynical lens on modern society, *Invincible* offers a grander, more powerful, and ultimately more traditional superhero story, albeit one coated in blood and trauma. When it comes to the question of power, there is no debate: Invincible wins, hands down, and the entire Vought universe is simply a small, fragile rock in a galaxy full of Viltrumite-level threats.
