Summary
A keen-eyedDestiny 2fan has spotted another player who has turned their Hunter into Homelander from the hit Amazon TV series,The Boys, using the game’s transmog system. Players have been taking advantage of the versatility ofDestiny 2’s Appearance Customization Systemto make their guardians resemble characters from various media, such as other video games and even television shows. And with the popularity ofThe Boys, it was only a matter of time before the characters made their way into Destiny 2.
Based on a comic series of the same name, the show premiered in 2019 during the height of the superhero phenomenon as a satirical take on the heroes. It shocked the world, as the series portrayed some of the characters with abilities as megalomaniacs who would use their powers for selfish reasons rather than the standard of saving the world. At the head of these antagonists stoodHomelander and his many abilitiesthat were similar to Superman’s, such as flight and heat vision, but with none of his kindness. For the most part, the guardians of theDestinyuniverse use their paracausal abilities for the greater good and stand in stark contrast to characters like Homelander.
A user going by the handle GreenTaco0706 posted a screenshot on theDestinyFashion subreddit showcasing a Hunter looking like the villain, Homelander. The guardian used a variety of armor pieces and shaders to replicate the look and bring to life the antagonist in the world ofDestiny 2. For Homelander’s blue outfit, the player used the look of the Outlander’s Heart chest piece with the orange-blue Paragon shader and paired that with the Righteous Strides leg armor and Crucible Vermillion shader. As for the character’s bright red cape, the player used the Cloak of Optimacy along with the Crucible Glory shader.
The post was well received on the subreddit, earning around 3.3K upvotes, with some users commenting on how eerily similar the look was. While the Hunter is menacing as Homelander, the character is not the first villain that players have recreated inDestiny 2. Fans have replicated Captain Enoch fromStar Wars: Ahsoka, Mohg fromElden Ring, and even theGreen Goblin fromSpider-Man.
With the release of Season of the Wish, players have been discovering new secrets about the Ahamkara and are closer than ever to finally being able to confront the Witness. They have also been collecting new armor and shaders thanks to the return of the annual Holiday event, the Dawning, and a brand-new dungeon called Warlord’s Ruin, which has some beautiful lookingAhamkara-themed loot. With all these new gear pieces in hand, it is only a matter of time before players introduce another character into the game usingDestiny 2’s transmog system.
