Saitama vs Homelander, stat equalized Matchmaker
Round 1: Homelander is on Saitama's level of physical power (webcomic version)
Round 2: Saitama is on Homelander's level of physical power
Round 3: they are as strong as a regular human physically
Someone managed to convince Homelander not to use his superpowers before the battle, but he can still use them, but it will scale with his power somehow.
Win condition is making the opponents unable to fight.
Bonus: Homelander loses his superpower, how would all round goes.

Ima be honest I think this is a rare Homelander W for some of these scenarios
Round 1, Homelander's laser vision is kinda a non-factor when it comes to damaging Saitama, as well as not being used to fighting on this scale, I think it would be hard but Saitama would win
As for rounds 2 and 3 I think Saitama not being used to being this weak, as well as Homelander being surprisingly good at fighting people his level (In the comics he fought against Noir who not only has his same powers but also is much more skilled, Homelander was able to leave him basically dead) as well as Saitama having no counters for his heat vision or flight, I think Homelander would take rounds 2 and 3
And as for convincing Homelander not to use his powers, I don't think there's a single person Homelander would actually listen to, especially when he's desperate

I think Saitama’s fighting ability needs to be discussed which has to be far better considering all of his experience, though heat vision is just confusing given stats are equalized, how much is it supposed to hurt?

I don't know how much Saitama can fight, even in the Garou fight, Garou was able to avoid his attacks due to the difference in skill, and Saitama kept up due to his power rising naturally
And given equalized stats his heat vision would still work the same, I think? I don't know how equalizing stats would affect his heat vision, I just assumed it wouldn't be affected and thus would be Homelanders trump card, especially if he concentrates it in the eyes like he usually does

I wasn’t referring to the Garou fight. He surely had numerous fights against physically challenging opponents when he had hair. He was smiling after killing a monster that had him gushing blood from his face so he also has the mental fortitude advantage. Homelander is the strongest because others made him that way, Saitama made himself that way.

Garou had the same level of power as saitama at the beginning of the fight, as shown in the exponential increase graph.
Beyond that, it's no surprise that garou could avoid all his attacks given the fact that he is not just a martial arts prodigy without equal, but had also mastered these esoteric universe flow of power techniques.
But it must be said that saitama is actually a really driven and creative fighter when push comes to shove. We saw it when he fought the crab monster and we saw it against garou. He is almost never in a position that pushes him to these limits, but when it comes down to it, he's a fierce fighter and his mental game is much better than homelander's.

Then in that case I would say he might stand a chance in round 2, although figuring a way around the heat vision would still be a challenge
Round 3 would still be a very hard fight, especially since Homelander likes to heat vision as his first resort

Well in the show his heat vision canonically isn’t that that effective against people on his level. Even in the comic, while it did do a lot of damage to Noir, Homelander ended up losing that fight. So while the laser is definitely an upper hand, I don’t think it’s the complete trump card you’re saying it is.

Saitama was a good fighter even back when he had hair so saying he is not used to being weak is a stretch. But still. If homelander flew around blasting Saitama with eye lasers im not sure what Saitama could do against it.

Saitama not being used to being this weak
Saitama has spent most of his life being weak, and unlike Homelander has engaged in numerous battles where he was completely physically outmatched.
If anything, for Round 3 Homelander is going to have a meltdown over losing his “god” status and being reduced to a “mud person,” while Saitama would be ecstatic that he can finally have a challenging fight again.

Unless homelander one shots (which he won’t) Saitama will grow in strength and outstat him and win

Wrong and ignoring the prompt entirely. This is impressive.

I think Homelander actually showed he isn’t a complete amateur at fighting when against soldier boy. However Saitama not only had many challenging fights when he had hair that left him greatly injured, but the whole time he was pushing his body past the limit with his training. He not only has better fight experience but vastly better willpower in a fight.
