Homelander, from the comic then Amazon Prime series The Boys. He’s basically Superman, if Superman were raised in a lab by a literal Nazi super-soldier program, then used as the face of a giant corporation with massive influence in the media, biotech and social media spaces, to start with that also buys up contracts with the highest profile superhumans (and also on the sly are responsible for creating them). Then just think what the realities of that would look like. And yes, he is at least as horrible as you think.
The eponymous Boys are a group of normies trying to take down superhumans, with the main POV character’s inciting incident being when A-Train (think the Flash) runs through his girlfriend directly in front of him.
For someone completely out of the comic scene for some decades, who is the guy on the right?
