Homelander as a Killer
I've been thinking for some time now that Homelander could make a wonderful addition to the Killers roster in Dead By Daylight, he certainly isn't from a Horror franchise but in every scene of The Boys where he's in the tension and fear of the characters in front of him is palpable, even you watcher begin to feel a sense of anxiety every time Homelander appears.
Homelander almost embodies the sense of oppression and fear and he succeeds in the role beautifully, he is an insurmountable wall that everyone is afraid of because in their eyes he is seen almost as omnipotent and also extremely dangerous due to his mental instability, but at the same time it would be easily manoeuvrable and controllable by the entity, since Homelander is hungry for attention and recognition, the trials of the Entity would be a hallucinating power trip for him.
In my Opinion he would fit without problems in the game, just think of what his Mori could be, he could gently lift a Survivor from the ground and then melt his face with his Laser eyes, or just open a hole in a Survivor's chest with a signle punch without much effort.
let me know what you guys would think of him in Dead By Daylight.

why not? we have Anime characters, like Oni as Armored Titan and Spirit as Warhammer Titan (and he is not a superhero)

it's just a skins, not separate killers. Also they kinda fit i think, unlike literally comic superhero

i kinda have the feeling that you are being influenced too much by Marvel Superheroes movies, because Homelander can't be defined as classic "comics superhero" by any means. this guy is a psychopath without any moral and the result of a sick performance-society. being rejected by society, being seen different is the basic structure of many well written Killers in horror movies and thrillers and he fits in these categories. (people worships him as a God or try to stay as far as they can from him because of dread and fear)
and what would change between a really well done skin and a separate killer? if now Homelander was introduced as a skin for Nurse would he fit better? i think not.
it would be the same, and a separate killer would just give justice to the depth of the character and its possibilities
the only reason i see for the titans to be skins is that they couldn't be implemented otherwise, Titans height is 15m+, they wouldn't "fit" in the maps.

Why not. She is fun to play as and against IMHO. Just modify the power.

Except Homelander isn't rejected by society and loves the performance. He was tailor made by Vought from birth to be what humanity, specifically America's idealistic and capitalistic views on humanity, should strive for. He's a monster to be sure, but it is precisely because his outer image is that of basically Silver Age Superman that he's allowed to get away with being a monster. That's The Boys in a nutshell, a deconstruction of comicbook superheroes and the companies who make them as well as the fans that worship them.
I think he's a bad fit for DBD because he would be extremely subdued in this game in both form and function. He's a much better fit for Mortal Kombat which he's gonna be playable in along with Omni Man and Peace Maker.
