Yeah lol, feel like even without good ol’ plot armor for Joseph he still wins, with or without plot armor, he’ll probably ragebait Homelander so he lets his guard down and then pull off some bullshit like ‘oh yeah I stuck 100 grenades up your ahh while you weren’t looking’ and before Homelander can react he gets brutally blown up.

And in the case Homelander does survive (I haven’t watched The Boys) and tries lasering Joseph he will genuinely pull out some conveniently placed glass tube and use it to deflect the fucking laser and then get Homelander to step on water because water is a good Hamon (solar energy electricity thingy) conductor and gets brutally electrocuted and Joseph will pull a fucking Thompson machine gun out of his pocket (he says he already had allat planned) just to rub more salt in the wound.

And then again in the case NONE of that works Joseph will prolly run away cause he has survival instincts and ride a conveniently placed plane with fuel and get away.

(If brochacho Joseph managed to outsmart the Ultimate LifeForm Kars by sheer plot armor Homelander gets brutally destroyed no diff)
