Homelander had never imagined that the gap between his strength and Sentry's would be so vast. He was beaten without the slightest ability to fight back, and had even begun to question his entire life.
Homelander did not understand why Sentry was so powerful, yet he had never heard of him before. Aside from being unable to fire Heat Vision, this Sentry surpassed him in speed, strength, and defense. He was practically an enhanced version of himself!
No! He isn't an enhanced version of me! I have the same abilities as the God of Humanity, and I don't even have the God of Humanity's weakness. The abilities he's showing now are nothing more than that Black Superman's. What gives him the right to be stronger than me?! But the moment that thought flashed through his mind, fury instantly surged within Homelander's heart, followed at once by defiance.
However, no matter how furious he was, the difference in strength was not something anger could reverse. After all, Homelander did not have the genes of a Gamma Warrior, and even among Gamma Warriors, only a freak like Hulk could continuously grow stronger through rage.
As a result, Homelander's situation did not change in the slightest. He was still beaten by Sentry without any ability to fight back, and he did not even last very long before being knocked unconscious outright, dangling from Sentry's hand like a little chick.
While unconscious, Homelander, who had already been brainwashed, seemed to have a dream. In that dream, he saw the scene of Sentry devouring a large quantity of Genetic Serum, followed by the scene of himself charging over in a rage yet failing to injure Sentry in the slightest. Those were the memories Homelander had been brainwashed out of...
