Amazon Prime's gritty superhero satire show The boys officially ended with the release of the series finale on May 20, but that's not the last fans will see of Homelander. The end of The boys has been divisive among fans and often criticized for its heavy focus on setting up the show's prequel series, Vought Risingrather than wrapping the conflict between Homelander and The Boys into a cohesive package. Even if Vought Rising will focus on characters like Soldier Boy and Liberty (AKA Stormfront), some fan favorites from the original show are getting their time to shine again in an upcoming release.
Call of Duty: Mobile recently announced that it would be going away with The boyswhich brings three new skins based on the show's supes. This collaboration is not the first time The boys' Homelander has appeared in a video game, as Homelander was a DLC character for Mortal Kombat 1, and has already appeared in Call of Duty series as operator i Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3. But what does this do Call of Duty: Mobile The unique thing about the crossover is that it appears to greatly nerf the Homelander's power compared to the megalomaniac Supe's portrayal on the show.

Call of Duty Mobile goes over with the boys
As part of Call of Duty: Mobile Season 5, which launched on May 27, three supes from The boys debuting in the mobile shooter for the first time.

Skins included in the Call of Duty Mobile x The Boys Collab
-
Starlight — Legendary Starlight Radiance Stone
-
Black Noir — Legendary Noir Shadow DLQ33
-
Homelander — Legendary Homelander Pride DHR
Starlight is the first of the three supes from The boys to join Call of Duty: Mobileafter being playable as an operator in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3. With her comes the legendary Stone, Starlight Radiance, and a unique shockwave ability that Starlight can use as the last survivor during the Attack of the Undead — All Supe'd Up game mode.
Black Noir is also included Call of Duty: Mobile as part of the game's crossover with The boys. Noir was also an operator in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3but gives to Call of Duty: Mobile a legendary DLQ33 and the ability to wield a katana as the Final Survivor in Attack of the Undead — All Supe'd Up.
Homelander is the main character in this Call of Duty: Mobile crossover, but may not be the most powerful option of the three. Sure, he comes with a legendary DHR and uses his infamous eye lasers when he acts as the Final Survivor in Attack of the Undead — All Supe'd Up, but there's a bigger problem with Homelander that can prevent players from trying to pull him.
Why Homelander is likely the weakest supe of the three in Call of Duty Mobile
Call of Duty has featured silly and outlandish skins in the past, usually when the series has crossed over with other franchises, as it is now doing with The boys. These skins can often be controversial for how they clash Call of Dutys gritty military sim aesthetic. However, another underlying problem with the most outlandish Call of Duty skins is how they disadvantage users by making them stand out much more clearly than players with more subtle skins.

For example, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6pp Octopus game skins were controversial not only because fans took issue with their prices, but because the bright pink skins were easily identifiable to enemy players, giving users who wore Octopus game is a disadvantage. On the opposite side of the spectrum Terminator The T-800 skin felt almost unfair as it made players much harder to spot, prompting claims that the skin was pay-to-win. With how drastically some Call of Duty skins can make or break a player's experience, fans of The boys might want to think twice about getting that Homelander skin Call of Duty: Mobile.
Homelander's iconic red, white and blue suit and American flag are central to his character design, and these elements are represented in Call of Duty: Mobile version of the skin. But they also make him easily visible during a match, because those color combinations are so eye-catching. While Starlight players may have a little trouble staying hidden with her white and gold outfit, the brighter parts of Call of Duty: Mobiles maps should help her hide in plain sight, at least better than Homelander can. Black Noir is likely to be the strongest supe from The boys in Call of Duty: Mobilesimply because he is dressed entirely in black and can keep to the shadows to avoid detection by others Call of Duty: Mobile player.
