HOW TO USE

THE OPENING: HOW HE GOT HIS POWERS
The first time you press PLAY, the story starts where Vought started it — a locked ward under Vought Tower, a wall of monitors, a vat of glowing green COMPOUND V and a room full of scientists with a syringe and a child.
Watch the dose go in, the surge blow the restraints apart, the eyes light up for the first time and the corporation put a cape on what was left. SKIP (or ESC) jumps straight to the city, and you can watch it again any time from ORIGIN: THE VOUGHT LAB on the title screen. The whole thing can be switched off, and the pacing changed, in the settings.

TUTORIAL WITH HOMELANDER
On the title screen, tap TUTORIAL WITH HOMELANDER and he walks you through every control himself, one step at a time — and it's INTERACTIVE, not a wall of text: each step waits until you actually DO the thing (press the key, or tap the big green button) before NEXT unlocks.
It runs OUTSIDE the game: the city and Homelander stay on screen behind the speech panel, so the flight, the laser eyes, the punch chain and the guard all visibly fire while he's explaining them. SKIP or press ESC to bail out at any point, BACK to hear a step again, and the last step brings you back to the menu so you can press PLAY whenever you're ready.

MOVE
PC: WASD or the arrow keys. Mobile: the on-screen joystick on the left.
The character moves in any direction and turns to face where it walks. Buildings are solid, so you slide along them as you run down the avenues.

CAMERA
PC: scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Rotate the camera by dragging with the right mouse button.
Mobile: pinch with two fingers to zoom in and out. Drag one finger on the world to rotate the camera.
LOOK UP & DOWN: drag the same way but vertically — drag up to look up at the sky, drag down to look down at the ground. The tilt eases in smoothly and can be reset from the Camera Pitch setting.
Movement is always relative to the camera, so rotating the view changes which way you walk.
SMOOTH BY DESIGN: the follow, the rotation, the up/down tilt and the zoom are all eased, so nothing snaps — and it feels the same on a slow phone as it does on a fast desktop.

ACTIONS
PC: Space to jump, hold Shift to run, and press F to toggle flight. Mobile: tap Fly to take off or land, tap Jump to rise, and tap Run to move faster.
FALLING: switch flight off in mid-air or step off a rooftop and he drops into a full free-fall — arms thrown up over his head, legs kicking, chest arched back and the cape ripped straight up. The pose builds up the longer he falls.

LASER EYES & BOUNDARY WALLS
PC: hold E (or hold the left mouse button) to fire twin red beams from the eyes.
Mobile: hold the LASER button.
AIM (PC): move the mouse while firing — the head turns to follow your aim with smooth neck physics, and the beams shoot wherever the head points.
AUTO AIM (MOBILE): the lasers lock on by themselves. Hold LASER and the head snaps its beams onto the NEAREST Butcher (marked with an orange lock ring), so you can keep steering and moving the camera with your other hand. Only the lasers auto-target — punches and slams still have to be lined up yourself.
Anything the beams touch — the street, a rooftop, a building facade or the boundary walls — is burned to black ash. As you walk closer to a surface, the laser hits higher up it; moving back lowers the hit point towards the ground.
HITTING AN ENEMY: the beams STOP dead on his body instead of passing through him, and the impact point slides DOWN him as you close in — from his head and chest at long range, to his gut and legs when you're right on top of him.
BURN GLOW: holding the beams on a wall makes that stretch glow molten orange, and holding them on Billy Butcher makes him glow red hot and char black. Nothing shrinks or loses height — the burn is a pure heat and scorch effect, so walls and enemies always keep their full size.

LASER HEAT: HURT THEM AND THE BEAMS GET HOTTER
Every point of damage you land on an enemy — fists, uppercut, slam, the eye beams, LASER RUSH, THUNDER CLAP, HEAT NOVA, EYE BURN, car fireballs — pumps up your LASER HEAT. The hotter you run, the THICKER, brighter and bigger-burning the eye beams get.
It COOLS DOWN if you stop fighting, so the beams are at their nastiest in the middle of a brawl. How much heat each point of damage is worth, the maximum bonus and how fast it bleeds away can all be tuned in the settings (or switch the whole thing off).

MELT THE BUILDINGS
The skyscrapers don't just get scorched any more — they MELT. Hold the LASER EYES on a facade and that whole building glows molten orange, chars black and starts SAGGING DOWN from the roof: the parapet and the water tower sink with it, every window left hanging above the new roofline bursts and disappears, and the roof itself drops, so anyone standing up there falls.
THE WINDOWS MELT TOO: every pane of glass on a melting tower melts with it — it glows molten orange, chars over and then bursts and disappears along with its frame as the building melts down to it (physics is physics). Broken panes will never float in mid-air and will only be re-glazed if the building wall is intact.
Keep cooking it and it gives up completely: the tower collapses into a burning slag heap, throwing wreckage and blowing out the glass all around it.
HOTTER EYES MELT FASTER: your V MILK stacks and your LASER HEAT both speed it up, so a building goes down much quicker in the middle of a brawl. Melt speed, how low a melted building sinks, and the whole feature can be tuned in the settings. Melted buildings are rebuilt at the start of every new run.

CUT THEM IN HALF (AIM FOR THE WAIST)
Aim the LASER EYES at the MIDDLE of an enemy's body — his waist, not his head and not his legs — and hold them there. The beam cuts clean through him: his top half is blown off the hips, tumbles away through the air and lands on the asphalt, and his legs drop where he was standing. Both halves are seared black at the cut.
It KILLS OUTRIGHT no matter how much health he had, and it works on every hunter — Butcher, a Temp V Butcher, A-Train, Black Noir, Soldier Boy, Queen Maeve and the president. Because it's the eye beams, it still counts as a LASER execution, so Butcher's crowbar can drop from it.
REMEMBER THE BEAMS SLIDE DOWN HIM AS YOU CLOSE IN: at long range they cross his head and chest, and up close they drop to his gut and legs — so there's a sweet spot in the middle distance where they sit right on his belt. Drift off the waist and the cut resets. How long the cut takes, how tight the aim band is, and whether it happens at all can be tuned in the settings.

V MILK (PERMANENT LASER UPGRADE)
There is only ever ONE bottle of Vought's glowing green COMPOUND V MILK on the map at a time. It sits somewhere RANDOM in the city, bobbing and spinning with a green halo around it, and a fresh one spawns every 30 seconds after you take it.
DRINK IT: just walk or fly into it. The upgrade is PERMANENT for the rest of the run — every bottle stacks another +10% LASER DAMAGE, +10% LASER RANGE and +10% LASER HEAT (hotter, thicker beams with bigger burn marks).
IT CUTS BOTH WAYS: Vought is dosing the hunters too. Every bottle YOU drink also grants EVERY ENEMY a permanent +5% DAMAGE, +5% SPEED and +5% ATTACK REACH — Butcher's crowbar hurts more and lands from further out, A-Train blitzes faster, Noir closes in quicker and the Temp V beams reach further. Drinking ten bottles doubles your lasers, but it also makes the city twice as dangerous, so stack them knowing what you're buying.
Each bottle's effects remain active for the rest of the run, stacking with every new pickup.
The spawn interval, the per-bottle laser bonuses, the per-bottle ENEMY damage / speed / range bonuses and the pickup range can all be tuned in the settings.

LOOT: BILLY BUTCHER'S CROWBAR
Butcher's SILVER CROWBAR can be taken off him — but only if you kill him with the LASER EYES. Burn him down with the beams (the point blank EYE BURN ultimate and the HEAT NOVA count too) and there is a 5% chance the crowbar clatters onto the street behind him. Punching, slamming or clapping him to death never drops it.
PICK IT UP: the dropped crowbar bobs and tumbles inside a pale halo. Walk or fly into it and Homelander grabs it — you can then see it in his right hand.
YOU SWING HARDER AND FASTER: with the crowbar in hand every melee hit does +60% damage (the punch chain, the LEFT hook, the RIGHT UPPERCUT and the aerial SLAM shockwave) and the whole chain comes out about 35% quicker. It is yours for the REST OF THE RUN.
The drop chance, the damage multiplier, the swing speed, the pickup range and how long a dropped crowbar lies on the street can all be tuned in the settings.

GO INSIDE THE BUILDINGS
The bigger towers are ENTERABLE. Look along the avenue for the tall DOORWAY cut into the stone base of a block, with a glowing sign over it, and just walk straight in — there's no button and nothing to press.
Inside is a real lobby: a lit ceiling with light panels, a polished floor, a reception desk and an elevator bank on the back wall. You can fight in there, punch, slam, clap, fire the eye beams and hover — but the ceiling stops you, so step back out of the door if you want to fly up to the roof.
THE FIGHT FOLLOWS YOU IN: Butcher, a Temp V Butcher, A-Train, Black Noir, Soldier Boy, Queen Maeve, your own soldiers and even panicking pedestrians can all come through that door after you. The camera comes inside with you and pulls in close, so the walls never get between you and the action.
Melting the tower above a lobby leaves the lobby itself standing. How many blocks are enterable, how wide the doors are, how high the ceilings are, and whether interiors exist at all can all be tuned in the settings.

BREAK THE GLASS
Every building has big storefront windows at street level, and the taller towers have windows higher up too.
SMASH THEM: punch a window (J / PUNCH), launch an UPPERCUT into it, land an aerial SLAM nearby so the shockwave blows out everything around you, burn one with the LASER EYES, or hold RUN while flying and crash straight through it at boost speed.
Each pane bursts into spinning shards that tumble down and clatter onto the street. Broken windows are re-glazed after a while — the delay (or never) can be set with Glass Regrow Delay.

TRAFFIC: BLOW UP THE CARS
Cars drive up and down the avenues with their wheels rolling, and more sit parked at the curb.
THEY RUN FROM YOU: the drivers can see you coming. Get anywhere near a car and it swings around, floors it and SPEEDS AWAY down the avenue — even the parked ones peel straight out of the curb. If you want to blow one up you have to catch it, blast it from range or box it in.
A WRECK IS A MASSACRE: every car you detonate counts as FOUR bodies on your THREAT rating, so a street full of fireballs promotes you fast. The credit, the escape speed and how close you have to get to spook them can all be tuned in the settings.
DETONATE THEM: punch a car (J / PUNCH), launch an UPPERCUT into it, land a SLAM next to it, burn one with the LASER EYES, catch it in a LASER RUSH, THUNDER CLAP or HEAT NOVA, or hold RUN while flying and smash straight through it.
Each car goes up in a fireball that throws flaming wreckage across the street, scorches the asphalt, blows out nearby windows and shreds any Butcher in the blast. Cars parked next to the one that blew will cook off a moment later in a chain reaction.
Standing right on top of an exploding car hurts YOU too, so blast them from a distance or keep your guard up. Wrecks are towed away and replaced after a while. Car count, speed, blast radius, blast damage, self damage, chain reactions and respawn delay can all be tuned in the settings.

VEHICLES: DRIVE THE CAR, RIDE THE HORSE
Two rides are parked out in the street near you: a big open-topped MUSCLE CAR and a saddled HORSE.
GET ON: just walk up to one. A green prompt appears — tap it, or press Y on a keyboard — and Homelander climbs in behind the wheel or swings up into the saddle. Tap it again (or press Y) to get back off; he steps down beside the ride.
DRIVE IT: steer with the joystick or WASD exactly like walking — it's camera relative, so rotating the view changes which way you go — and hold RUN (Shift) as the throttle. The car's wheels really roll and its suspension bobs; the horse breaks into a full four-legged gallop and bounces you in the saddle, cape streaming behind you.
RUN THINGS DOWN: above walking pace both rides plough straight through pedestrians and trees, and the muscle car DETONATES any traffic it slams into at speed. Buildings are still solid — hit a facade hard and you lose most of your speed.
You can still fire the LASER EYES while riding, but punches, signature moves, dodges and flight all make him get off first (taking off, dying or sitting in the president's chair dismounts you automatically).
Car top speed, horse top speed, steering rate, how close you have to be to mount, and whether the rides exist at all can all be tuned in the settings.

CIVILIANS: BURN THEM OR SMASH THEM
Realistically proportioned people stroll the avenues — full human bodies with a neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands with fingers, hips, knees, ankles and feet, plus a face with eyes, nose, mouth, ears, eyebrows and hair. They walk with a proper articulated cycle, and the moment you get close they PANIC — arms over their heads, sprinting away from you screaming.
BURN THEM: hold the LASER EYES on someone, catch them in a HEAT NOVA, run them down in a LASER RUSH or blow up a car next to them. They glow molten, char pitch black, collapse and leave a smoking pile of ash on the pavement.
SMASH THEM: hit them with a PUNCH or an UPPERCUT, land an aerial SLAM nearby, catch them in a THUNDER CLAP or hold RUN while flying and plough straight through them. They get launched off their feet, tumble through the air and pancake flat on the asphalt.
A fresh crowd wanders back in after a while — civilian count, walk speed, panic speed, panic distance and respawn delay can all be tuned in the settings.

SMASH THE TREES
The park is full of blocky trees, and every single one can be brought down.
FELL THEM: punch a tree (J / PUNCH), launch an UPPERCUT into it, land an aerial SLAM nearby, catch it in a THUNDER CLAP, LASER RUSH or HEAT NOVA, burn it with the LASER EYES, blow up a car next to it, or hold RUN while flying and plough straight through it.
The trunk snaps at the base and the whole tree topples over away from the impact, throwing splintered wood and leaves across the grass. Felled trees are cleared away and grow back after a while — the delay (or never) can be set with Tree Regrow Delay.

THE MAP: NEW YORK
The world is a blocky New York City — a grid of asphalt avenues with dashed yellow lines, concrete sidewalks, parked yellow cabs, a green park with trees, and a setback landmark tower with an antenna spire in Midtown.
BILLBOARDS: giant lit Vought hoardings stand up on the rooftops on steel legs with lamp bars shining across them, and huge signs are bolted flat onto the faces of the taller towers — Vought International, COMPOUND V MILK, THE SEVEN, HOMELANDER and Vought Airlines. They're laid out from the City Layout Seed, so a new seed gives you a whole new skyline of ads.
THE STATUE OF LIBERTY: on her own lawn island stands a copper-green Liberty — a stone terrace, a tall pedestal with columns, the robed figure, the seven-point crown, the tablet cradled in her left arm and the golden torch held higher than any skyscraper on the map. She's solid like every other landmark: fly up and land on the terrace or the pedestal, fight up there, and the laser beams stop against her.
THE WHITE HOUSE: on its own lawn block stands a white neoclassical residence with a six-column portico, two low wings and a flag on the roof. Behind it, out on the grass, sits an open-topped OVAL OFFICE: a raised marble floor, a curved wall, the presidential seal rug, two flags, the big wooden desk and THE CHAIR.
VOUGHT TOWER: the tallest building on the map is Vought International's HQ — a dark blue glass setback skyscraper with a stone podium, a giant lit V logo on all four faces, a glowing VOUGHT sign over the plaza entrance and an antenna spire with a red beacon. It's solid like every other tower: smash its lobby glass, burn its facade, and fly up to fight on any of its three rooftops. Its height can be set with Vought Tower Height.
The skyscrapers are SOLID: you slide along their facades instead of walking through them, and the laser beams stop against the windows. Fly up and land on any ROOFTOP — you can walk, punch and slam on the roofs, and slamming from a roof cracks the roof itself. Step off the edge and you fall back to the street.
The city layout can be regenerated from the settings: City Layout Seed, City Block Size, Street Width, Skyscraper Height and Building Density.

THE SEA
The city is on the coast. Look past the boundary walls and the OCEAN runs all the way out to the horizon on every side, with a slow rolling swell — fly up onto any rooftop for the view.
THE WATERFRONT: down at the southern edge of the map whole blocks are open WATER instead of buildings. Each one is ringed with a low stone seawall and has a wooden PIER out over the waves on stilts. Walk straight off the quayside and you're in the sea up to your boots, or land on the pier and fight out there.
How many waterfront blocks there are, how high the water sits, how fast the swell rolls, and whether the sea exists at all can all be tuned in the settings.

THE SUBURBS: HOUSES
Out past the skyscrapers, the blocks toward the edge of the map turn RESIDENTIAL. Each one is a green lawn ringed with hedges, holding up to four little HOUSES with painted siding, pitched shingle roofs, a brick chimney, corner trim, a front door on a stone stoop under its own canopy, and windows on every side. A concrete garden path runs from each front door out to the pavement, and there are trees on the lawn.
They're SOLID like every other building: you slide along the walls, the laser beams stop on them, and you can fly up and LAND ON THE ROOF and fight up there. The two front windows of every house are real breakable glass — punch them, burn them or crash through them at boost speed. The hedges and the garden trees come down like any other tree.
How many residential blocks there are, how many houses stand on each one, how tall they are, and whether the suburbs exist at all can all be tuned in the settings.

SIGNATURE MOVES (3 BUTTONS, TOP ROW)
The on-screen buttons are laid out three per row. The top row holds three signature Homelander abilities, each on its own cooldown — the button dims while it recharges.
LASER RUSH (RUSH button / R key): a supersonic blitz straight ahead with the eye beams wide open. He carves a burning trench down the street, blows out every window he passes, and body-checks any Butcher caught in the lane.
THUNDER CLAP (CLAP button / C key): he flings both arms wide and hammers his palms together with a real THUNDER CRACK — a sharp snap, a deep pressure thump and a rumble that rolls away — firing a sonic cone that launches Butchers off their feet and shatters all the glass in front of him.
HEAT NOVA (NOVA button / Q key): he lifts off the ground and spins a full 360 with the lasers blazing, scything a ring of fire through everything around him — the widest crowd-clearing move in the game.
All three can be tuned in the settings: Laser Rush Speed / Cooldown, Thunder Clap Radius / Cooldown, Heat Nova Radius / Spins / Cooldown.

ULTIMATE: LASER TO THE EYES (EYE BURN)
PC: press G. Mobile: tap the big gold EYE BURN button above the other buttons.
YOU HAVE TO CHARGE IT FIRST: under your health bar is an EYE BURN bar. Every hunter you put down fills it a little, and the gold EYE BURN button does NOT EXIST on screen until the bar is FULL (3 kills by default). On PC, pressing G early just tells you how many more kills you need. Firing it EMPTIES the bar, so you have to earn it all over again.
THE DASH: he throws himself forward in a supersonic lunge with one hand out, reaching for a throat. You do NOT have to time it perfectly — ANY enemy already caught inside the grab range is snatched instantly, and anyone he sweeps past during the lunge gets grabbed too (even slightly off to the side). It only whiffs if there is nobody anywhere near him — then a MISSED! banner flashes and the ultimate is wasted on cooldown.
THE GRAB: if the lunge connects he catches the enemy by the throat and holds him up off the ground, kicking and clawing at his wrist.
THE BURN: then the eyes light up and he pours the lasers point blank straight into the enemy's eyes. IT IS NOT AN INSTANT KILL ANY MORE: the whole burn does 85 damage TOTAL (tunable), so a healthy hunter survives it and just gets shoved away at the end. Use it to BREAK somebody, not to delete them.
THE FINISHER IS A DIFFERENT THING: if those 85 damage leave him under 35% health, Homelander does NOT let go — the ultimate rolls straight into its own cutscene. He carries the body STRAIGHT UP off the street by the throat, hangs there in the sky while his eyes charge white hot, then pours the beams point blank up into his face until he chars pitch black and crumbles. What's left drops onto the asphalt and leaves a scorch mark. It kills outright, nothing can touch you during any of it, and because it counts as a LASER execution Butcher's crowbar can still drop from it.
Dash speed, grab range, burn length, TOTAL burn damage, the health the finisher triggers at, throw damage and the cooldown can all be tuned in the settings.

FINISHER: SKY DROP (INTO THE PLANE)
PC: press X. Mobile: tap the blue SKY DROP button above EYE BURN.
YOU HAVE TO CHARGE IT FIRST: under your health bar is a SKY DROP bar. It fills as you defeat enemies, and the blue SKY DROP button only APPEARS once the bar is FULL (5 kills by default). Using it empties the bar again. Both charge lengths can be tuned in the settings.
FINISH HIM, DON'T OPEN WITH IT: it is an EXECUTION. It only grabs a hunter who has already been beaten down to under 10% health (tunable) — try it on a healthier one and you get a NOT WEAK ENOUGH warning and only lose a moment.
Stand right next to a hunter with under 10% health and fire it. Homelander UPPERCUTS him clean off his feet and the body goes flying up into the sky — then he ROCKETS up after it, fists overhead, and catches him by the throat a hundred feet over the rooftops.
THE PLANE: a VOUGHT AIRLINES jet comes roaring in across the skyline. Homelander hangs there holding the body until the airliner is right on top of them — then he HURLS him straight into it. The plane goes up in an enormous fireball, burning wreckage rains down over the city and whoever he was holding is simply gone.
It kills outright, no matter how much health the target had — Butcher, a Temp V Butcher, A-Train, Black Noir or the president. He can't be hit during the whole sequence, and he's left hovering in the smoke afterwards.
It has a 20 second cooldown. If nobody is close enough when you press it, you get a NOBODY IN REACH warning and only lose a moment. The grab range, the under-10% health threshold, the altitude he climbs to, how long he holds the body and the cooldown can all be tuned in the settings.

DODGE (PURE REACTION TEST)
DODGE IS ALL ABOUT SPEED OF REACTION. There is NO free dodge and NO button to mash: the green DODGE button DOES NOT EXIST on screen until a hunter actually swings at you.
THE WINDOW: the moment a hunter TELEGRAPHS something — a crowbar windup, a punch chain, an uppercut, a down slam, a jump, a Temp V laser charge, an A-Train blitz, a Noir spin kick or shadow step, a Soldier Boy shield throw or radiation charge, a presidential rant or charge — the button POPS UP glowing for a SPLIT SECOND (0.25 seconds by default) and then disappears again. Hit it inside that window (or press V on PC) and you slip the attack clean, with long invulnerability that whiffs even a slow radiation blast.
MISS IT AND YOU PAY: if the window closes and you didn't react, the blow lands and you TAKE DAMAGE. Pressing V outside a window does nothing at all — you can't pre-press it.
NO SPAMMING: the dodge always needs longer to recharge than its invulnerability lasts, so you are never untouchable, and every dodge fired within a few seconds of the last one stacks an EXTRA recharge penalty. Panic-mashing it leaves you with nothing when the next swing comes.
He drops low and BLURS out of the line of the attack on a short burst of flight — shoulder rolled into the slip, knees tucked, cape ripping behind him.
UNTOUCHABLE: for the first part of the dodge nothing can hit you, so a tap beats a crowbar chop, an A-Train blitz, a Noir spin kick or a Temp V laser.
WHERE HE GOES: whichever way you're steering (joystick / WASD). With no direction held he throws himself AWAY from the nearest hunter, or straight backwards if nobody is close. It works on the street, on a rooftop and in mid air, and it can be fired straight out of a BLOCK.
Dodge distance, duration, invulnerability window, cooldown, the length of the reaction window, the grace i-frames, the damage you take for missing it and how close an enemy has to be to open the window can all be tuned in the settings.

BLOCK & HEALING FACTOR
PC: hold B. Mobile: hold the BLOCK button (bottom row, left).
He snaps both forearms up into a tight guard with a shimmering shield plate in front of him. Crowbar swings that land on the guard are mostly absorbed — they clang off, barely dent the health bar and hardly shove him back. Guarding only works properly against attacks coming from the FRONT, so keep facing your attacker; hits from behind only get half the protection. He also moves slower while turtled up and can't punch or fire a signature move until he lowers the guard.
HEALING FACTOR: a few seconds after the last hit lands, his health starts refilling on its own and the health bar glows green while it heals. Holding BLOCK doubles the healing speed, so guard up in cover to top yourself off. Block strength, healing speed and the delay before healing starts can all be tuned in the settings.

PUNCH CHAIN & SLAM FINISHER
PC: press J to punch. Mobile: tap the PUNCH button.
Keep punching to chain: 1st is a LEFT straight, the 2nd mirrors it with the RIGHT, the 3rd mirrors again into a LEFT hook, and the 4th is a RIGHT UPPERCUT that launches you off the ground.
EXTEND THE FINISHER: right after the uppercut, toggle Fly (F / FLY) to hang in the air, hold the laser eyes on your target, then punch again to SLAM straight down with a shockwave that cracks and scorches the ground. Punching while flying slams down too.

AIR COMBO (HOLD PUNCH, THEN KEEP PUNCHING)
HOLD the PUNCH button (or hold J) and Homelander skips the chain entirely and throws the launching RIGHT UPPERCUT straight away, taking himself and whoever he hit up off the street.
NOW KEEP TAPPING PUNCH: while he is still airborne every tap is an AIR HIT — alternating fists hammering down while he HANGS in the air and climbs a little with each blow. Three hits by default.
THE LAST PUNCH IS A SLAM: the punch after the final air hit drops him straight down with the full ground-cracking, scorching shockwave — so the whole combo reads UPPERCUT, air hits, SLAM.
If you stop punching he simply falls out of it into the normal free-fall pose. How many air hits there are and how hard they hit can both be tuned in the settings.

DASH ATTACK (LOOK AT HIM, HOLD RUN, PUNCH)
LOOK STRAIGHT AT AN ENEMY, hold RUN (Shift on a keyboard, the RUN button on mobile) and press PUNCH. Homelander covers the whole gap in one supersonic step and drives a shoulder-first straight through whoever he was looking at — it hits far harder than a normal punch and knocks him off his feet.
HE HAS TO BE IN YOUR SIGHTS: the dash only fires if a living hunter is in FRONT of you and inside dash range. With nobody lined up, RUN + PUNCH is just an ordinary punch, so it never gets in the way of the chain. Windows, cars, trees and pedestrians in the lane all get ploughed through on the way in, and buildings still stop you.
It has a short cooldown, and the damage, speed, range, launch and cooldown can all be tuned in the settings.

IMPACT: HIT STOP, SLOW MOTION & DAMAGE NUMBERS
Every hit you land now PRINTS ITS DAMAGE over the body it hit — white for a normal blow, big and gold for a CRITICAL — so you can actually see what the crowbar, your V MILK stacks, your LASER HEAT and a kill streak are really doing for you.
THE BIG MOMENTS LAND: a critical hit freezes the world for a split second, and an execution drops the whole game into SLOW MOTION with the camera snapping in tight — every hunter you put down, a tower melting into slag, an enemy cut in half at the waist, the EYE BURN finisher and the SKY DROP into the airliner.

CRITICAL HITS
Every blow you land on an enemy has a 10% chance to come out as a CRITICAL HIT for DOUBLE DAMAGE. A gold CRITICAL HIT x2 flashes up, the screen kicks and the impact cracks louder.
It can roll on anything physical: the punch chain, the LEFT hook, the RIGHT UPPERCUT, the aerial SLAM shockwave, a LASER RUSH body check, a THUNDER CLAP, a car fireball and the EYE BURN parting throw. It stacks on top of the crowbar's damage bonus.
The chance and the damage multiplier can both be tuned in the settings.

NO FLYING AWAY, NO RUNNING AWAY
THE CEILING: while a hunter who can JUMP is still alive (Billy Butcher or Black Noir), you can't hover out of their reach. Climb above their jump height and your flight is pushed back DOWN into it — a TOO HIGH TO FIGHT warning flashes and you sink until they can leap at you again.
THEY WILL REACH YOU: the ceiling is set comfortably INSIDE their jump range, and anything inside that range gets jumped at — Butcher cracks you out of the sky with the crowbar and Noir springs up with a flip kick. Hovering is never a safe spot. With only A-Train or the president left on the map, nobody can jump, so the sky is yours.
THE CATCH-UP: run or fly off across the city and they don't lose you — they SPRINT. The further away you get, the faster they move, up to a hard multiplier of their normal speed. As soon as they're close to you again their speed drops back to normal, so an actual fight always plays out at their real pace.
Both rules can be tuned in the settings: Force Lower Flight, Catch-Up Max Speed Boost, Catch-Up Starts At and Catch-Up Full Boost At.

POWER UPS
V Milk, Butcher's crowbar, mission rewards and streak bonuses still strengthen you for the run. Their effects continue to stack and work normally, but progress counters and equipment readouts are intentionally hidden to keep the screen clear.

MONEY: DOLLARS & THE BLACK MARKET
Everything you break PAYS. Under your health bar is your CASH, in DOLLARS, and a green +$ flashes up every time you earn some.
WHAT PAYS: a smashed window is small change, a felled tree a little more, a civilian more again, a car fireball a decent cheque, and a melted tower or an enemy cut in half a big one. Every hunter you put down pays properly — Butcher, A-Train, Black Noir, Soldier Boy, Queen Maeve — and the president is the single biggest payday on the map. Every V MILK you drink pays as well.
THE BIGGER YOUR NAME, THE BIGGER THE CHEQUE: the payout is multiplied by your THREAT tier, so the same car is worth far more at GODLY than it is at SUSPECT.
SPEND IT: tap the green BLACK MARKET button at the top of the screen (or press M) and the VOUGHT BLACK MARKET opens — a FIELD PATCH-UP for 40% of your health back, an instant EYE BURN or SKY DROP charge, a permanent +15% FIST or LASER upgrade, +25 MAX HEALTH of body armour, or hire an extra squad of soldiers on the spot. Anything you can't afford (or don't need yet) is greyed out. The game waits while the market is open, and CLOSE or ESC gets you back out.
Cash starts at zero every run. The starting cash, the payout multiplier, the threat bonus, the prices and the whole money system can be tuned or switched off in the settings.

VOUGHT LIVE: HYPE & LIVE CHALLENGES
Vought is broadcasting you, and the audience does not want you standing still. Top right of the screen is your HYPE meter.
HYPE ONLY GOES UP WHEN YOU ACT: every car you detonate, every window you smash, every tree you fell, every building you melt, every enemy you cut in half and every hunter you put down feeds it — and it BLEEDS AWAY on its own the whole time, so parking on a rooftop drains it to nothing.
PRIME TIME: fill the meter and the show goes live — a big DAMAGE SURGE for everything you throw, and EYE BURN and SKY DROP are both charged instantly. Then the meter drops back so you can earn it all over again.
LIVE CHALLENGES: short timed jobs keep arriving — BLOW UP 3 CARS, TAKE DOWN 2 HUNTERS, MELT A BUILDING, DRINK A V MILK. Beat the clock and you get a real reward: a charged finisher, a third of your health back, a damage surge or a hype spike. Miss it and the audience gets bored, your hype drops and the next one comes at you sooner. The targets get bigger as your THREAT tier climbs.
GO QUIET AND THEY WILL PUSH YOU: stop doing anything for a few seconds and the producers throw a challenge at you immediately with a THE RATINGS ARE DYING warning.
The challenge interval, the time limit, the idle nudge delay, the hype decay rate, the Prime Time length, the surge multiplier and the whole feature can all be tuned in the settings.

SIDE QUESTS: THE PIZZA RUN & THE FLY TIME TRIAL
Out in the city there are ALWAYS two BEACONS OF LIGHT standing in the street — a GOLD one with a pizza box spinning over it, and a BLUE one with a ring. There's no button and nothing to press: just walk or fly into a beacon and that job starts. Only one runs at a time, and the panel on the right shows the objective and the clock. Win or lose, fresh beacons appear straight away, so you can run side quests non-stop.
PIZZA DELIVERY (gold beacon): Homelander grabs the box — you can see it in his hand — and a GREEN marker lights up somewhere across the city. Get there before the 20 SECOND clock runs out. Flying is very much allowed.
FLY TIME TRIAL (blue beacon): a chain of rings is strung through the sky, but you only ever SEE ONE at a time — each ring stays INVISIBLE until it is your turn to fly it, and the moment you pass through it the next one appears. Every hoop is huge, easy to fly into, and placed in wide open air well clear of the buildings, and they're set low enough that the flight ceiling never blocks the run.
THE PAY: finish a job and you get a big cash payout (multiplied by your THREAT tier, like everything else), an instantly CHARGED finisher — EYE BURN for a delivery, SKY DROP for a trial — and a hype spike. Miss the clock and you simply lose the job; a fresh beacon shows up shortly after either way.
The delivery time, the trial time, how many rings there are, the payout, how quickly beacons come back and the whole feature can all be tuned in the settings.

THREAT LEVEL (THE WANTED SYSTEM)
Under your health bar is your THREAT tier. Every body you leave behind — pedestrians, Butchers, A-Trains — pushes it up, and each new tier sends more hunters after you:
INNOCENT (0 kills): nobody hunts you. NO enemies spawn at all, and the people on the street stroll past calmly — they don't panic and they don't scream.
SUSPECT (1 kill): Billy Butcher picks up your trail.
WANTED (5): a hit squad of Butchers sweeps the avenues.
DANGEROUS (15): Butcher shoots up with TEMP V. The ordinary hit squad is gone — ONE Butcher with ORANGE LASER EYES comes for you instead, and BLACK NOIR starts stalking you. That's all: nobody else shows up at this tier, so it's a fair place to learn the fight.
SUPERVILLAIN (30): A-TRAIN joins the Temp V Butcher and Black Noir, and more Temp V Butchers show up.
WORLD THREAT (60): they thaw out SOLDIER BOY — shield and radiation blast — on top of A-Train and Black Noir.
GODLY (100): QUEEN MAEVE finally draws her sword. Temp V Butchers, Soldier Boy, Black Noir, A-Train and Maeve, all of them, all the time.
THEY COME BACK STRONGER (SUPERVILLAIN AND ABOVE ONLY): once you reach SUPERVILLAIN, every hunter that respawns brings the whole roster up a notch — each respawn permanently adds +1% ENEMY HEALTH, +1% ENEMY DAMAGE and +3% ENEMY SPEED for the rest of the run. Below SUPERVILLAIN nothing escalates, so the early game always plays at its normal difficulty. A pink banner announces every step up and the THREAT line shows the current stack. The per-respawn bonuses, the stack cap and the whole system can be tuned or switched off in the settings.
A banner announces every promotion. The kill counts for each tier — and the whole system — can be tuned or switched off in the settings.

ENEMY: BILLY BUTCHER
Butcher hunts you across the plane in his long dark coat, swinging a SILVER CROWBAR.
His crowbar does MEDIUM damage — about 14 of your 100 health per connected swing, so roughly seven hits will finish you. Watch the health bar at the top left and keep moving.
HIS MOVESET: he doesn't just chop any more. Up close he mixes an overhead CROWBAR CHOP, a three-hit PUNCH CHAIN of fast alternating fists, a crowbar UPPERCUT that launches you off your feet into the air, and a DOWN SLAM that hammers the crowbar into the street and sends a shockwave rolling out to catch you even if you backed off.
HE CAN JUMP: fly or hover too low and he crouches, JUMPS after you, cracks you out of the sky with the crowbar and knocks your flight out — then slams the street where he lands. Climb higher than his jump reach (or stay out of range) and he can't touch you.
FIGHT BACK: the punch chain staggers him, the RIGHT UPPERCUT launches him, the aerial SLAM shockwave crushes every Butcher in the blast, and holding the laser eyes on him burns him down from range. Hold BLOCK to soak his swings.
Each Butcher has his own health bar above his head. Beaten Butchers stay down for a few seconds, then a fresh one comes looking for you. Fly out of his reach if you need a breather.
His punch, uppercut, slam and jump damage plus his jump height and range can all be tuned in the settings.

ENEMY: TEMP V BUTCHER (ORANGE LASER EYES)
Once your THREAT hits DANGEROUS, Butcher stops playing fair and shoots himself up with TEMP V — and from then on the Butchers hunting you have ORANGE LASER EYES of their own.
HOW MANY: at DANGEROUS there is exactly ONE of them and NO ordinary Butchers left at all. SUPERVILLAIN sends more, and WORLD THREAT sends more again.
THE BEAM: he plants his feet, his eyes flare orange for a moment, then twin orange beams open up on you. It reaches far further than the crowbar and it reaches you IN THE AIR, so flying is no longer an escape from him. Buildings and walls stop the beams — break line of sight and it burns the wall instead of you. Hold BLOCK and the guard soaks most of it.
LASER CLASH: fire YOUR eyes straight back into his while his beams are open and the two lock together — a spitting ball of fire hangs in the air between you and neither beam gets through. Nothing he fires reaches you while the clash holds, so the standoff is always worth taking.
Everything about him can be tuned in the settings: how many spawn per threat tier, his health, laser damage, range, beam duration, cooldown and eye colour.

ENEMY: A-TRAIN
The fastest man alive shows up in his blue-and-silver armoured supersuit, black wraparound shades, the A patch on his shoulder pad and white speed sneakers.
HE NEVER STANDS STILL: he sprints huge circles around you at supersonic speed, leaving a chain of glowing BLUE afterimages — frozen copies of himself — strung out behind him. Then he lines you up and BLITZES — a straight-line supersonic dash that smashes clean through you and knocks you off your feet.
If he gets on top of you he unloads a FLURRY of hypersonic punches, one every fraction of a second.
HIS WEAKNESS: every burst burns him out. After a blitz or a flurry he's doubled over with his hands on his knees gasping for air — that's your window to laser him, punch him or slam him. Hold BLOCK to soak the blitz, or take to the air: he can't fly, so he can only sprint around underneath you.
His count, health, sprint speed, blitz speed, blitz damage, punch damage, blitz cooldown and respawn delay can all be tuned in the settings.

ENEMY: BLACK NOIR
Vought's silent assassin creeps in wearing a matte black armoured supersuit — segmented chest and abdominal plates, heavy shoulder pads, forearm guards and a full face mask with dark grey eye lenses and no mouth at all. He never says a word and he never makes a sound.
HE HIDES IN PLAIN SIGHT: at a distance he fades down to a barely visible shadow and creeps toward you in a low, crouched stalk. He only becomes solid when he attacks.
SHADOW STEP: he dissolves into nothing and reappears RIGHT BEHIND YOU, already swinging — so keep turning around, and remember blocking only fully protects your front.
HIS MOVESET: a silent FLURRY of alternating fists and elbows, a whipping SPIN KICK that launches you off your feet, and — if you take to the air — an acrobatic FLIP KICK that springs off the street and cracks you out of the sky.
FIGHT BACK: he's a normal target for everything you have — the punch chain staggers him, the uppercut launches him, the slam shockwave crushes him, and the laser eyes burn him down (they even lock onto him while he's faded). His health bar disappears while he's mid shadow step, so watch for where he reappears.
His count, health, speed, strike damage, flurry hits, kick damage and launch, air hit damage, shadow step cooldown, stealth fade and respawn delay can all be tuned in the settings.

ENEMY: SOLDIER BOY
Vought's ORIGINAL supe gets thawed out once your THREAT hits WORLD THREAT: a thick set WWII-era strongman in a dark olive armoured supersuit with a brown leather belt and bracers, heavy boots, a full beard — and a battered metal SHIELD in his hand.
SHIELD BASH: up close he hammers the shield straight through you.
SHIELD THROW: at range he hurls it like a discus. It curves after you, cracks you out of the SKY if you're flying, and boomerangs back into his hand — he can't throw it again until he's caught it.
RADIATION BLAST: the port in the middle of his chest lights up green, then the plates split open and he fires a WIDE cone of raw energy. It is the hardest hitting attack any enemy has, it scours the street black, blows out every window in the lane, flattens the trees in front of him and it REACHES YOU IN THE AIR — so hovering is no escape from him. The green glow on his chest is your warning: break the line of the cone or hold BLOCK.
FIGHT BACK: he is a normal target for everything you have — the punch chain, the uppercut, the aerial slam, the laser eyes, LASER RUSH, THUNDER CLAP, HEAT NOVA, EYE BURN and the SKY DROP. He has a lot of health, so wear him down.
His count, health, speed, bash damage, shield damage / range / speed, blast damage, blast range, blast width, charge time, blast cooldown and respawn delay can all be tuned in the settings.

ENEMY: QUEEN MAEVE
Vought's warrior queen only shows up at the very top, once your THREAT hits GODLY: long red hair under a dark circlet, a silver and deep maroon armoured bustier with a star buckle, steel bracers, a pleated leather war skirt, thigh high black boots, a dark red cape — and a long steel SWORD.
SWORD COMBO: up close she chains fast alternating diagonal cuts, one after another.
LUNGE THRUST: from mid range she covers the whole gap in one stride with the blade speared straight out in front of her, so backing off is not enough on its own.
SPIN SLASH: she flings both arms out and whirls a full circle, and the blade launches you off your feet.
SHE CAN JUMP: hover too low and she springs off the street and cuts you out of the sky, exactly like Butcher and Black Noir — so the flight ceiling applies to her too. Climb above her jump reach (or kill her) and the sky is safe from her.
FIGHT BACK: she is a normal target for everything you have — the punch chain, the uppercut, the aerial slam, the laser eyes, LASER RUSH, THUNDER CLAP, HEAT NOVA, EYE BURN and the SKY DROP. She is fast, she hits hard and she has a lot of health, so keep your guard up and DODGE her windups.
Her count, health, speed, sword damage, combo length, lunge damage / range, spin slash damage and launch, air hit damage, jump reach and respawn delay can all be tuned in the settings.

BOSS: THE PRESIDENT (AND HIS CHAIR)
A heavy-set man in a navy suit, white shirt and a very long red tie stands guard in the Oval Office behind the White House — swept blonde comb-over, permanent squint, comically small hands. He is always there from the start of a run, no matter what your threat level is.
HIS MOVESET: a bellowed RANT that fires a sonic ring out across the lawn and shoves you back, a flurry of wide flailing SLAPS up close, and a lumbering BODY CHARGE that knocks you off your feet. He never strays far from his office — back off and he waddles straight back to his desk.
FIGHT BACK: he is a normal target for everything you have — the punch chain, the uppercut, the aerial slam, the laser eyes, LASER RUSH, THUNDER CLAP, HEAT NOVA and car fireballs. He has a lot of health, so bring something big.
SIT IN HIS CHAIR: once he is down, walk up behind the desk. A gold prompt appears — tap it (or press T on PC) and you drop into the president's chair, leaning back with your boots on his floor. Move, jump, take off or take a hit and you stand back up. He stays down for the rest of the run (his respawn delay, health, damage and guard range can all be tuned in the settings).

SOLDIERS (UNLOCKED BY BEATING THE PRESIDENT)
Once the president is down the army answers to YOU — and it does it BY ITSELF. There is no button and nothing to press: a squad of SOLDIERS in fatigues, flak vests and helmets runs in around you with assault rifles, and whenever the squad drops below its cap a fresh wave shows up on its own once the cooldown is up.
They sprint at the nearest hunter, stop at rifle range and pour tracer fire into him. With nothing to shoot they regroup around you and follow you through the city.
THEY ARE WEAK, AND THEY DIE IN ONE HIT: only a few damage per bullet, and ANY connected blow from a supe puts a soldier down instantly. They are chip damage, a distraction and a bit of theatre — never a replacement for you. Every rifle kill still fills your EYE BURN and SKY DROP bars.
THE HUNTERS ARE SMARTER NOW: they don't only chase you. Every hunter goes for whatever is CLOSEST — you or a soldier — so a squad really can pull Butcher, A-Train, Black Noir or Soldier Boy off your back for a moment. It just costs you soldiers.
Soldiers per wave, max alive, their health, bullet damage, fire rate, rifle range, walking speed, whether enemies one-shot them, how far they draw enemy attention, the wave cooldown and their lifetime can all be tuned in the settings.

SOUND & MUSIC
A driving synth soundtrack loops in the background, the eye beams hum and sizzle for as long as you hold them, and every fist, uppercut, slam and body blow lands with a heavy punch impact.
All of it is generated inside the game — nothing is downloaded, so it runs on any phone. Music can be switched off and both the music and sound effect volumes can be set in the settings. Audio starts on your first tap or key press (mobile browsers require it) and mutes itself while the game is in the background.

PERFORMANCE: IT RUNS ON EVERY DEVICE
The game measures the device it is running on and picks a quality tier by itself — render resolution, shadow map size and refresh rate, draw distance, haze, and how far out the crowds, traffic and hunters keep animating. If the frame rate ever sags it quietly pulls those back, and it puts them straight again as soon as there is headroom, so a fight full of fireballs stays smooth on a cheap phone.
YOU CAN OVERRIDE IT: the Graphics Quality setting can be pinned to Low, Medium or High instead of Auto, and Shadows can be switched off completely for the biggest single saving on weak hardware. The crowd and traffic counts are also capped per tier, so raising those sliders can never choke a phone.
