Mortal Kombat 1: Hidden Homelander Brutality Found

Jun 05, 2024 9:59 AM

Mortal Kombat 1 has introduced Homelander from the popular show The Boys as a DLC character. Gamers have found that Homelander’s in-game Brutalities contain special Easter eggs referencing memorable scenes from the TV series. One notable Easter egg echoes a brutal scene from The Boys Season 2 premiere, where Homelander attacks Blindspot, a superpower candidate. In Mortal Kombat 1, this nod is particularly evident when Homelander performs a Brutality on Kenshi, a blind character in the game. Unfortunately, fans noticed that Antony Starr, the actor who portrays Homelander in The Boys, has not voiced his character in the game, unlike other guest stars.

What special Easter egg is present when Homelander performs a Brutality on Kenshi in Mortal Kombat 1?

When Homelander performs a Brutality on Kenshi in Mortal Kombat 1, he recites the same insulting line he used on Blindspot in The Boys Season 2, saying, "just another useless f***ing blind guy," directly linking to the show's infamous scene with a similar attack.

Mortal Kombat 1 features several iconic characters and interesting DLC additions. The Kombat Pack includes the likes of Omni-Man and Peacemaker, along with unique character skins and early access to various fighters. The game, developed by NetherRealm Studios, continues to expand its roster, drawing fans from both the gaming and TV show fanbases.
