Homelander's debut in Mortal Kombat 1 is approaching and his eventual place in the meta will soon make itself known. In the meantime though, there is plenty of room to speculate. So far, most of the DLC characters have been able to successfully fill a specific niche in Mortal Kombat 1, either in terms of gameplay or aesthetic, and Homelander should be expected to do the same. At the same time, it will also be important to see how strong he is in an actual match. That could be the most important aspect of Homelander's legacy in Mortal Kombat 1.
