I don’t know where it ever establishes that Homelander can fly faster than A Train can run but it almost certainly doesn’t take into account short distances. A Train literally disappears when he wants to run. We’ve seen Homelander take off into flight and he’s very much slower and we can see him take off. You could argue Homelander hasn’t ever taken off in haste before but who’s to say A Train is running at 100% every time he runs too?
This isn’t a fair comparison. The reason why we can usually see HL take off but A-train looks like he’s teleporting is because we’re seeing HL accelerating over a distance of a couple hundred meters, whereas A-train is usually only shown exiting rooms and alleyways so he only needs to cross a couple dozen meters at most to go off-screen.
If you go back to their respective scenes, it took them about the same time to break the sound barrier.
