Stage 1
Flying at full speed, Clark charged at Nam-Ek and Aethyr, ramming into them very hard as the Disciples of Zod were sent hurtling hundreds of meters away. Eric Summers smashed a punch into Clark's face with all his might, but Clark was unaffected by the blow, while Eric stared at him in shock.
"What?" Eric gasped.
"It's been a long time on my end, Eric," Clark pointed out. "I've gotten much stronger since our last encounter."
He backhanded Eric in the face, sending him hurtling into the sky.
Clark turned to see Persuader charging at him. Remembering what happened during his previous encounter with the 31st century villain, Clark sped out of the way as Persuader swung his atomic axe at him. Clark punched Persuader in the face, knocking him many meters away. Persuader fell and rolled on the ground, the front of his metallic helmet shattered. Clark sped at his fallen opponent, picked up Persuader's atomic axe, and broke it in half by slamming it on his knee before tossing the two parts of the axe many miles away. As Persuader stumbled up, Clark grabbed him, held Persuader up, and slammed him on the ground as the impact knocked the villain out.
Superman flew at Steppenwolf, unleashing his freeze breath upon the latter's electro-exe, which the Man of Steel then shattered into pieces with a punch. As Steppenwolf was horrified, Superman smashed a punch into his chest, sending him flying many feet away. Before he could fly after Steppenwolf, Superman was knocked several feet back by a nuclear blast from Reactron, but he quickly recovered, steadied himself, and flew at his attacker, knocking Reactron away with a punch. Reactron got back up and fired several more nuclear blasts at Superman, who dodged them before blasting Reactron in the chest with his heat vision, knocking him twenty feet back, though Reactron quickly recovered.
Hank Henshaw leapt at Superman, tackled him to the ground, and smashed two punches into the Man of Steel's face. Superman fired freeze breath into Henshaw's face, blinding and the cybernetic enemy, who unleashed his blue eye beam to melt the ice. Superman grabbed Henshaw by the arms and threw him into Reactron, the two villains crashing to the ground after colliding with each other.
Superman was then struck and knocked back by a kryptonite beam from Metallo, while Rampage charged at Superman with a roar and smashed a powerful punch into his head, dazing the Man of Steel.
Supergirl flew at Giganta, smashing multiple blows into the giant redhead woman's face. Giganta tried to smack Supergirl away with her massive hand, but the Girl of Steel dodged the attack and rammed into Giganta's chest, causing her to stumble backwards and almost fall to the ground before she regained her balance. Supergirl was about to punch Giganta again when Bizarro-Girl suddenly rammed into the former, sending Supergirl crashing to the ground. Supergirl looked up as Bizarro-Girl flew down and hovered above her with a glare.
"I kill Supergirl," the disfigured, white-skinned clone of the Girl of Steel growled angrily.
"You won't be doing it alone, partner," Rhea announced as she appeared and glared furiously at Supergirl. "You may have thwarted my invasion and defeated me, Supergirl, but now I will absolutely enjoy having my revenge."
"So will I," Silver Banshee snarled as she and Livewire appeared as well.
"Sorry about this, cape and skirt, but we have to kill you," Livewire said wickedly as she generated a ball of electricity in her hand.
Supergirl flew out of the way as Bizarro-Girl tried to attack her with fire breath. Wasting no time, Supergirl flew at Silver Banshee, knocking the villainess out with a punch to the face. She tried to punch Livewire as well, but the latter turned into pure electricity and blasted Supergirl, who did her best to shrug off the attack despite the pain it caused her. Rhea took the opportunity to knock Supergirl to the ground with a punch to the face. The former Queen of Daxam then grabbed the Girl of Steel by the throat with one hand, only for Supergirl to blast Rhea in the chest with heat vision and follow up with a punch that sent the older woman flying off.
Omni-Man flew at Red Tornado, tackling the crimson android's body through the air at tremendous speed and slamming it into the ground hard enough to put multiple cracks in its body. Omni-Man smashed seven brutal punches into Red Tornado's chest and three into its face, dealing much more damage to the android. With five more mighty blows, Omni-Man destroyed Red Tornado's head, putting an end to his robotic opponent.
Omni-Man flew off to take on more villains. He flew at Starro, thrusting himself right through the giant creature's back and bursting out of Starro's eye, killing him instantly. Omni-Man then flew through Atom-Smasher, bursting a bloody hole in the latter's torso. Atom Smasher fell to the ground, dead, with blood gushing out of his gaping chest wound. Grodd charged at Omni-Man with a roar and the meta-gorilla smashed his enormous fist into the Viltrumite, who didn't even budge from the blow.
"My turn," Omni-Man declared, before punching a bloody hole through Grodd's head, ending the meta-gorilla's life.
Omni-Man took out King Shark next, splattering the latter's bloody remains by flying through his body. Hearing a monstrous roar behind him, Omni-Man turned around to see Solomon Grundy charging at him. The Viltrumite was too late to prevent Grundy's joined fists from smashing into his chest and he was sent sailing thirty feet backwards before steadying himself. As Grundy charged at him again with another roar, Omni-Man weaved behind his larger opponent and smashed two blows into Grundy's back, staggering him forward. Omni-Man then delivered two punches to Grundy's head, dazing the zombie-like monster, and followed up with a series of brutal blows into Grundy's face.
Aresia and Tina Greer charged at Wonder Woman, who prepared to engage the former two women. Wonder Woman easily dodged the two punches and kick that Tina threw at her, only to get staggered back by a punch to the face from Aresia, who then followed up with another punch as Wonder Woman raised her shield just in time to block it. Wonder Woman bashed Aresia in the face with her shield twice and punched her in the chest, knocking Aresia several feet back. Tina punched Wonder Woman in the arm, but the Amazon heroine barely felt the blow as she dodged a follow-up punch that Tina hurled at her face. Wonder Woman plunged her sword through Tina's chest, right where the shapeshifting meta-human's heart was. As Tina gasped in pain, blood spilling out of her mouth, Wonder Woman retracted the sword and Tina fell to the ground, dead. Aresia tackled Wonder Woman to the ground and punched her in the face three times. Wonder Woman blocked Aresia's fourth punch with one of her bracelets and delivered a hard head-butt to Aresia's face, dazing the villainous Amazon.
Sinestro conjured a huge spiked mace construct with his yellow Lantern ring and smashed it into Black Adam's face, knocking the Champion of Kahndaq several meters back even as the construct shattered on impact. Black Adam fired powerful lightning from one hand as Sinestro conjured a bubble around himself to block it. After a few seconds, the bubble construct shattered and Sinestro was thrown backwards. Black Adam flew at Sinestro in a blur, grabbed the red-skinned Yellow Lantern by the throat, and snapped his neck.
Suddenly, thorny vines wrapped themselves around Black Adam's neck and arms, restraining him firmly. He grunted as the vines grew tighter around him.
"You're no match for nature," Gloria stated with a wicked grin as Black Adam turned to her with a glare.
"You think your feeble plants can hold me? Think again," Black Adam declared, before unleashing a burst of lightning that instantly vaporized the vines.
Before Gloria could react, Black Adam sent out a lightning blast that struck and disintegrated her into a pile of ash.
As Weather Wizard summoned a tornado that engulfed Black Adam, the latter powered through the winds like nothing. Turning to Weather Wizard, Black Adam speed-blitzed into the weather-controlling meta-human, reducing him to a bloody, splattered mess. Black Adam then found himself surrounded by a moving cloud of sand, prompting him to unleash a burst of lightning that turned the sand into glass, which shattered upon falling on ground as Sand Demon was no more.
"Come on, big guy, take your best shot at me," Homelander challenged Bane, who charged at the so-called 'superhero'.
Homelander stood where he was as Bane's large muscular fist smashed into his chest. To Homelander's surprise, not only did the blow knock him a few feet back, but he actually felt a bit of pain from its impact.
"That was better than what I expected," Homelander said, steadying himself. "But I can do much better."
As Bane hurled another punch at him, Homelander easily dodged it and nailed a punch into Bane's chest, sending the larger man sailing many feet backwards before he landed on the ground, heavily dazed by the attack. Homelander flew towards Bane, blasting the muscle-bound villain's head with his laser-eye beams. The red beams gruesomely tore through and melted Bane's skull, killing him as Homelander smirked with satisfaction. Noticing a cloud of sand suddenly appearing near him, Homelander turned to see Tim Westcott materialize a few feet away from him.
"So you're a Supe who can turn into sand," Homelander noted in a smug tone. "Not impressed."
With a fist made out of sand, Tim decked Homelander in the face, knocking him several meters away. Homelander got back up with a groan at the same time Tim transformed into a cloud of sand that surrounded Homelander, who grabbed his neck and gasped for air while struggling to breathe. Homelander unleashed his laser-eye beams and Tim screamed in pain as the fiery attack forced back into his human form. Homelander walked up to Tim, grabbed the weakened meta-human by the throat, picked him up, and fired his laser-eye beams directly into Tim's eyeballs, gruesomely melting his face and brains.
Right after dropping Tim's face-melted corpse on the ground, Homelander was suddenly blasted away by a pair of red plasmoid energy beams from Black Manta. As Homelander steadied himself, he fired his laser-eye beams at Black Manta, who countered with another blast of plasmoid energy as the two attacks clashed in an intense effort to push back the other. Homelander roared, flying closer to Black Manta, whose beam was slowly pushed back by the former's. Ceasing his energy attack, Black Manta flew at Homelander, slashing him with an Atlantean dagger as a slit appeared on the right side of Homelander's face. Homelander grunted in both surprise and pain before he touched his cut and looked at his fingertip, gasping at the sight of his own blood. Taking advantage of the distraction, Black Manta stabbed Homelander in the abdomen, making the faux-superhero groan in pain. Homelander delivered a powerful head-butt to Black Manta's face and blasted his chest with laser-eye beams, sending Black Manta sailing back.
"Ah, son of a bitch," Homelander hissed angrily as he looked down at the bleeding wound in his abdomen, which then started healing.
He was suddenly blasted back by a green radioactive blast from Atomic Skull, who stalked towards the fallen Homelander. Atomic Skull sent out another radioactive blast as Homelander leapt out of the way just in time before unleashing the full intensity of his laser-eye beams. Atomic Skull cried out in pain as the beam brutally sliced his body in half at the waist, killing him.
Clark whirled around to see K'hund charging at him. As K'hund hurled a punch at his face, Clark easily caught the former's fist and clenched it, breaking K'hund's hand as the Fort Rozz criminal howled in pain. Clark then smashed an uppercut into the K'hund's face, knocking him hundreds of feet away. The K'hund crashed and rolled on the ground, knocked out.
From the corner of his eye, Clark noticed a green-garbed figure speeding at him and turned just in time to block a punch from Maxima, who glared at him.
"You broke my heart, last son of Krypton!" Maxima said, angrily. "If I can't have you, no one else will either!"
She threw another punch with her other hand, but Clark caught it and hurled Maxima away with his superior strength.
As Eric Summers, Nam-Ek, and Aethyr sped at him simultaneously, the latter two unleashed their heat vision and Clark flew out of the way to avoid the beams. Flying at Eric, Clark grabbed his former classmate around the throat with one hand and used his other hand to pummel Eric's face with eight blows, severely dazing him. Clark then slammed Eric on the ground hard and smashed one last punch into his face, knocking him out. Turning to Nam-Ek and Aethyr, Clark slammed his hands together, producing an immensely powerful shockwave that threw his two opponents away like ragdolls. Before the Disciples of Zod could recover, Clark flew at Nam-Ek and knocked him out with several hard punches to the head before doing the same to Aethyr.
Omni-Man grabbed Solomon Grundy around the waist, lifted him up, and slammed him on the ground hard. The Viltrumite stood menacingly over his near-unconscious opponent, whose face was badly bruised and bloodied, while some of Grundy's teeth were missing. With all his might, Omni-Man plunged his hand into Grundy's chest, ripped out the latter's heart, and crushed it.
Aresia used her bracelets to block Wonder Woman's sword strikes. She kneed Wonder Woman in the abdomen, knocking the heroine several feet back, and threw two punches that Wonder Woman dodged, before Wonder Woman elbowed Aresia in the chest, staggering the villainess back. Hearing booming footsteps approaching, the two Amazons looked up to see Giganta marching to them. Aresia smirked, while Giganta raised her massive foot and brought it back down in an attempt to stamp Wonder Woman, who ducked and rolled out of the way. Wonder Woman leapt up at Giganta and slammed her bracelets together, producing a powerful blast of energy that struck the redhead giantess' chest and made her stumble backwards. Wonder Woman descended, slashing Giganta in the right leg with her sword as the latter cried out in pain.
"That hurt!" Giganta hissed, before knocking Wonder Woman away with her foot.
Omni-Man appeared in a blur, slamming into Giganta's face with such force that her neck was instantly snapped, while her head turned backwards. As Giganta's body fell on the ground with a powerful thud, Omni-Man flew at Aresia, grabbing head with both hands and, with a mighty twist, snapping her neck 180 degrees, just like he had done to War Woman.
"Pound their heads!" Blockbuster bellowed as he charged at Black Adam with a punch.
Black Adam dodged the blow before smashing a lightning-charged uppercut into Blockbuster's face, sending him hurtling hundreds of feet away and crashing on the ground, where Blockbuster fell unconscious with one side of his face bruised. As Mongal rushed him next, Black Adam blasted her away with his lightning. Mongal jumped back up, determined to keep fighting, only for Black Adam to knock her out with a speed-blitz.
Superman caught Rampage's arms as she tried to bring her joined fists down on his head. With a grunt, Superman shoved Rampage back and punched her in the chest before unleashing his freeze breath, encasing Rampage in a solid block of ice.
Metallo tackled Superman to the ground, pummeling his face with six punches before picking up the Man of Steel and slamming him on the ground hard. Metallo was about to unleash a kryptonite beam upon his Kryptonian opponent when Omni-Man suddenly swooped up the cybernetic villain in a blur, flying thousands of feet in the air before descending back down like a meteorite and slamming Metallo into the ground hard, heavily damaging his metallic body. Omni-Man punched the kryptonite in Metallo's chest, shattering the glowing green rock into pieces, and pummeled Metallo's head with a series of brutal blows until it was thoroughly destroyed.
While Rampage shattered the block of ice, freeing herself, Superman got back to his feet, wiping away the drop of blood under his nose, only to suddenly get blasted back by Hank Henshaw's blue eye beam and Reactron's nuclear attack. As Henshaw and Reactron stalked towards the fallen Superman, preparing to blast him again, Clark suddenly descended in front of the two villains, throwing out double fists to punch them away simultaneously.
Rampage charged at Superman, who prepared to take on the monstrous woman once more, when Rampage was suddenly knocked away by Omni-Man.
"I had her!" Superman stated, firmly.
"She's mine now," Omni-Man declared in a commanding tone. "You'll have to another enemy to battle."
As Rampage charged at him with a snarl, Omni-Man punched her in the face four times and kneed her in the abdomen before Rampage knocked him to the ground with an elbow strike to the chest and stamped Omni-Man's head twice with her bare foot.
Superman was about to help out when his cape was suddenly grabbed by Maxima, who then flung him many feet away. The Man of Steel groaned as he crashed on the ground and looked up as Maxima suddenly appeared before him. She grabbed Superman by the neck with both of her hands and held him up as he struggled to breathe in her grasp.
"I will kill anyone who bears the symbol of the one who rejected me!" Maxima declared angrily.
Superman blasted Maxima in the face with his heat vision, making her stumble back with a cry of pain. Freeing himself from the Queen of Almerac's grip, Superman punched her in the chest and the blow sent her flying off. He flew at Maxima as she got back up and tried to punch her again, but Maxima ducked under Superman's fist before she got behind him, grabbed the back of Superman's head, and slammed him face-first on the ground.
Wonder Woman appeared in a blur, knocking Maxima away by ramming into the redhead with her shield. As Maxima got back up, Wonder Woman charged at the former and slashed Maxima across the chest with her sword, drawing blood as the Queen of Almerac let out a cry of pain. Wonder Woman then slashed Maxima in both her right shoulder and the side of her neck, before Maxima smashed a punch into Wonder Woman's shield, throwing the Amazon several meters back.
Clark grabbed Hank Henshaw around the throat, punched him in the face three times, and slammed him on the ground hard, rendering Henshaw unconscious. Clark then flew at Reaction, ramming into him so hard that the nuclear-powered villain's armor was shattered into pieces on impact, while Ben Krull rolled away on the ground, groaning as he fell unconscious.
Clark saw Steppenwolf leaping at him and blasted the Apokoliptian villain dozens of meters back with his heat vision. As Steppenwolf recovered, Clark flew at the former, slamming double fists into Steppenwolf's chest as the powerful blow damaged quite a bit of his armor. Clark then pounded Steppenwolf with eight blows that tore away much more of his armor and ended the assault with a punch to Steppenwolf's face, knocking him out.
Homelander dodged the plasmoid energy beams that Black Manta fired at him before ramming into the armored man at full speed, knocking Black Manta to the ground. Homelander pummeled the red eyes of Black Manta's helmet in an effort to destroy them before Black Manta fired another blast of plasmoid energy, getting Homelander directly in the face. Grabbing Homelander, Black Manta flew into the air as they exchanged a head-butt while struggling against each other's strength. At the end of it, Homelander overpowered Black Manta, tossing him to the ground as the latter's Atlantean armor suffered some damage.
Before the fight could go on, Black Manta was blasted with lightning from Black Adam, who then rammed into him so hard that Black Manta's armor shattered into pieces, while David Kane, the man who had been wearing it, died from a piece of the armor that embedded itself in the neck.
"He was mine to kill!" Homelander shouted, angrily.
"Not anymore," Black Adam declared, firmly.
"Whatever!" Homelander exclaimed. "I'm still better than the rest of you!"
"Your performance says otherwise," Black Adam stated, since he had one-shotted Black Manta, while Homelander had been struggling against the opponent.
Homelander glanced down at his abdomen and saw that his wound had fully healed.
Supergirl grabbed Rhea around the throat and flung her into Bizarro-Girl, both villains crashing to the ground after colliding with each other. As Livewire blasted her with lightning, Supergirl unleashed her freeze breath upon the electrical meta-human and turned the ice into water with her heat vision, drenching Livewire, who screamed in pain as her powers short-circuited. Supergirl then knocked her out with a punch to the face.
Bizarro-Girl blasted Supergirl with her freeze vision, knocking the Girl of Steel down. As Bizarro-Girl flew down to her with a punch, Supergirl performed a thunderclap that sent her disfigured clone flying off. Supergirl got back to her feet, while Rhea sped towards her, only for Clark to suddenly appear between them. Glaring, Rhea backhanded Clark in the face, but, to her shock, he didn't even flinch from the blow. Clark smashed a powerful uppercut into Rhea's face and the former Queen of Daxam was sent hurtling thousands of feet away before she crash-landed on the ground, knocked out.
Bizarro-Girl unleashed her fire breath upon Clark's chest, but he was unaffected by the attack. As she hurled a punch at him, Clark caught Bizarro-Girl's fist and flung her into the sky with one hand. In a blur, Clark flew up to the hurtling Bizarro-Girl, joined his fists, and smashed them on top of her head, sending Bizarro-Girl crashing to the ground, where the impact knocked her out.
"How did you do that?" Supergirl asked in awe as she appeared next to Clark.
"Years of practice," he simply told her.
"I wouldn't wanna end up having to fight you," Supergirl remarked.
"I wouldn't wanna fight you either," Clark replied, abhorring the idea of harming even an alternate version of his cousin.
Omni-Man grabbed Rampage around the throat, slammed her on the ground, and brutally smashed ten blows into her face. As Rampage was heavily dazed, Omni-Man pummeled her with six more blows, finally knocking her out.
As Maxima sped at her, Wonder Woman slammed her bracelets together and the resulting energy blast threw the redhead several meters back, though Maxima quickly recovered as she stayed on her feet. Superman suddenly descended behind Maxima and grabbed her around the arms, restraining her, while Wonder Woman sped forward and bashed her shield into Maxima's face, dazing the Queen of Almerac. Wonder Woman then swung her sword and decapitated Maxima, whose head fell to the ground while some of the blood got on Superman's face and chest. Superman released Maxima's headless body, which fell to the ground as blood gushed out of the neck stump.
As all the dead or unconscious villains vanished in flashes of light, a new wave appeared in their place, consisting of Baern from Smallville, Overgirl, Astra, and Non from the Arrowverse, General Zod, Faora, and Nam-Ek from the DCEU, Bizarro, Galatea, and Kalibak from the DCAU, and the Mauler Twins from Invincible.
That's a wrap for the first stage. Now it's time for Stage 2, which will have stronger villains.
All the heroes (or 'heroes') are still standing, with Homelander being the only one who got injured (I'm sure Atlantean weapons would harm him), though his wound is healed now. If anyone feels that Homelander killed Atomic Skull too easily, it was the DCAU version of the charcter, who was a street-level villain that got beaten in a hand-to-hand fight by Wildcat, as opposed to the source material's Atomic Skull, who is capable of giving Superman a hard fight, in which case Homelander would've been utterly screwed.
Also, Eric Summers and the Disciples of Zod were at their power levels shown in Smallville, which is why Clark defeated them easily.
