Summary
AMortal Kombat 1player has found an Easter egg in which Homelander says one of his lines fromThe Boys. TheMortal Kombat 1cast welcomed Homelander, the iconic leader of The Seven, and one of the most anticipated additions to the NetherRealm Studios title.
Homelander is the latest character added viaMortal Kombat 1’s Kombat Pack. It all started in November last year withMortal Kombat 1adding Omni-Man fromInvincible. Quan Chi arrived in December, and DC’s Peacemaker wasMortal Kombat 1’s first addition in 2024. Ermac, who had a role as a minor antagonist inMortal Kombat 1’s story mode, returned as a playable character in April, with Homelander finally being added in June. Players' expectations for Homelander’s debut inMortal Kombat 1were high, and it didn’t take them long to notice something interesting about one of the Kombatant’s abilities.
Twitter user DIZZ_NH is one of theMortal Kombat 1players who discovered a neat Easter egg in which Homelander says one of his lines inThe Boyswhen he fights Kenshi.The player shared a videoshowing how to trigger the interaction, which happens whenHomelander uses the Brutality"What Happens If?" He then hits both sides of Kenshi’s head and then says disdainfully “Another useless ****ing blind guy,” a reference toThe BoysSeason 2. The scene in question happens when Homelander and Blindspot meet, and the character slaps both sides of the young hero’s head just as he does in his Brutality.
Mortal Kombat 1 Adds Homelander, Penultimate Kombat Pack Character
In addition to the discovery of this nod toThe Boys,Homelander’s debut inMortal Kombat 1is being marked by players quickly discovering techniques to use. One of these is a relatively easy infinite, as demonstrated by Twitter user TGC|Stryker. If theMortal Kombat 1player hits four kicks while Homelander is flying, it’s possible to repeat the move over and over. The only way to avoid the sequence of kicks is if the opponent blocks Homelander’s first kick.
Homelander has been available inMortal Kombat 1for less than 24 hours, so the expectation is that players will find more interesting Easter eggs in the coming weeks. And although Homelander isn’t voiced by Anthony Starr, it won’t be surprising to see the character enter the ranks of themost popular fighters inMortal Kombat 1. Over time, the tendency is for theMortal Kombat 1community to discover more of the character’s potential, and what place Homelander will have in the game’s meta.
