I remember seeing one analysis of Homelander, where they said, that Superman never uses his laser eyes in battle against humans, because of just how deadly and unsophisticated it is. He wants to disarm his enemies and give them a chance to become better.
On the other hand, Homelander LOVES his laser eyes. It just solves his problems without him even having to move. He just looks and his problems are dead.
Well, imagine my shock, when Superman just decides to spin right above Metropolis while blasting his laser in 360° tornado slicing through 50 henchmen.
All of them are just dead now. Congratulations, you solved the problem.
