Homelander's superhuman stats and heat vision overwhelm Vader's Force abilities in a direct confrontation.
Darth Vader's Force powers make him terrifying against most opponents, but Homelander's physical stats create a significant gap. Homelander can fly faster than jets, lift thousands of tons, and his heat vision cuts through steel instantly. Vader's Force choke and lightsaber, while dangerous, face an opponent who can attack from range with devastating force.
Vader's Force choke could theoretically affect Homelander, as it targets the throat regardless of external durability. But Homelander's heat vision from the sky would vaporize Vader before the choke fully engages. The speed differential means Homelander dictates the engagement range.
Vader's precognition would warn him of attacks, but knowing heat vision is coming does not help when you cannot dodge a beam-speed attack with human-level reflexes. The lightsaber can deflect some energy attacks, but Homelander's heat vision is not a blaster bolt.
Vader's Force choke targets the throat regardless of external durability, and his precognition lets him anticipate attacks. The dark side grants unique abilities that conventional superhuman opponents may not be prepared for.
Homelander's flight, heat vision, and superhuman speed let him attack from range beyond Vader's effective Force distance. His physical durability means the lightsaber is unlikely to penetrate, and his speed exceeds Vader's reaction time.
Homelander wins through superior physical stats and ranged heat vision. Vader's Force powers are formidable but face an opponent who is too fast, too durable, and too powerful for Star Wars-level abilities to overcome.
