I will admit that this movie has a special place in my heart as it was actually one of the first movies I ever saw in the cinemas on a school trip in high school and it was a couple of years before my local cinema opened up.
In a world full of real life superheroes with their brands and PR controlled by one corporation Vought International; there was one who was active the longest and didn't have the backing of Vought or had a PR team to get the public behind him because he just didn't care. In fact he was mostly content living his life as a drunk homeless person and didn't care about the bad press and hate he got for the collateral damage destroyed in his wake; in fact he was certain that if one of the big members of the star team the Seven did what he did then the PR team could spin it to minimise outcry.
Said superhero Hancock was waking up from the bench that was acting as his bed for the night as he pushed the empty bottles off him and saw that it was Vought's current golden boy the Homelander standing over him with a big smile on his face. "Good morning there!" Homelander told him with a big fake smile on his face.
"Fuck... Going back to sleep... An early morning hangover is better to wake up to that than this..." Hancock groaned only for Homelander to pick him up by the shirt to get him up on his feet and saw that there was a crowd of Homelander sycophants chanting Homelander's name while booing Hancock.
"Howdy there; I've heard about you and I see potential squandered. With your power and record dating back fifty years; you should be on the Seven but just look at you... If you agree to sign up with us then you could be cleaned up, trained properly and be a respectable member of our community." Homelander offered and Hancock laughed in his face.
"You mean plaster my face on whatever product that your handlers decides and feed you lines to say word for word to interviews... I have been fine for 80 years and this is not gonna change my mind... Besides; I bet that you are disobeying orders as Vought and I have an understanding... They stay the fuck away from me and I don't bother them... I bet the higher ups have a limit of their patience for even Homelander..." Hancock laughed but Homelander went closer and had an edge to his face suddenly.
"You listen here you piss drunk bum... I tried to be nice about this but if you are going to be difficult then by all means; allow me to stop playing around... You are something that should have been taken care off long ago and brought to heel... You think you're so special with your strength and flying and I don't need any comparisons on the internet so you had better make things easier for yourself..." Homelander whispered in a dark low voice and Hancock laughed again.
"Brought to heel... Did Vought tell you what happened when they sent Soldier Boy to bring me to heel? I spanked that losers' ass so hard that Vought knew that they shouldn's mess with me... Still that Liberty bitch decided to ignore orders like you are doing and she had quite a mouth and choice of words for someone like me... She was singing a different tune pleading for mercy that I didn't give... Decided to dump her dying body in horse manure before ending her and... Her body was put into parts that I buried around the globe... That showed Vought that I wasn't playing..." Hancock mocked Homelander and Vought's 'boy scout' had enough and then used his laser vision onto him.
After the smoke appeared Homelander then faced his adoring crowd. "You are the man Homelander..." shouted out a fan named Todd and Homelander smiled and waved to the crowd but soon the cheering dropped. Homelander turned around and was met with the sight of Hancock looking angry now; not even a burn on him but with all his clothes ruined.
"You have done it now... Do you know how much of a hassle it is finding a shelter or Goodwill to get new clothes?" Hancock snapped as he then flew at super speed and grabbed Homelander's head and then grabbed Todd. Todd's trousers were pulled in and the crowd of Homelander fans screamed as they were treated to seeing Hancock shoving Homelander's head right up Todd's posterior.
Laser vision from Homelander freed him and gave Todd an undignified death; covered in Todd's guts with the laser vision blast killing other Homelander fans with Homelander looking like a feral animal. He lunged at Hancock only for his fists to be caught by Hancock and punched hard in the face with Homelander feeling it.
Hancock grabbed his waist and told him "so you can fly... Have you flied up to the outside of the atmosphere before? I have..." Hancock then flew up as far as he could until he could see the planet while holding Homelander's body as it froze up literally and his embrace ended up shattering the body.
Hancock then flew back down to the spot and sighed; "Kind of disappointing really... Was kind of hoping that he was able to put up more of a fight like Soldier Boy did..." Hancock said with what's left of his clothes ruined by the flight and Vought now having to deal with their #1 hero disobeying their orders and ending up killed by a man who afterwards was all natural.
