“Is Starlight behind this?”: The Boys Game When? Fan Reactions Prove It’d be an Instant Hit after Vought International Announce Mortal Kombat Parody
Vought International, the fictional corporation from The Boys, recently revealed a parody game called Tournament of Heroes that closely resembles another franchise on X.
This announcement, shared via a tweet by Vought International, immediately had fans discussing the potential of such a game if it were to be real. The idea of a Mortal Kombat-style game set in the show’s universe has fans dreaming big.
Fans React to the Idea of a Real The Boys Game
Besides Homelander, could other characters be coming to Mortal Kombat 1?
In Episode 3 of Season 4 of the show, we see Homelander’s son, Ryan, playing a brutal fighting game during his downtime. This fictional game, Tournament of Heroes, features characters like Lamplighter, Starlight, and Crimson Countess, and it delivers the same over-the-top violence that both The Boys and Mortal Kombat are known for. The scene’s graphic nature, with its gory finishing moves, only increased the desire among fans for this parody to become a real thing.
Thanks. I bought it at Vought Playstore. Problem is, it takes so much time to download the DLCs. Is Starlight behind this?

Social media exploded with reactions, with many pointing out how perfectly the dark and satirical tone of the show and the comics fit with the brutal combat style of the games. The show features similar gory scenes and brutal kills, and they both seem to be perfectly aligned in this aspect.

The scene from Episode 3 was highly detailed with great character models, and it showcased the potential of this project. The show has had a massive Supe roster, and there have been some really cool and unique characters that had minimal roles or a cameo. Such characters would make especially great additions to such a game.
Many fans have been calling upon NetherRealm Studios, the developers behind the game series, to consider a collaboration with Prime Video to bring this vision to life. Although Homelander is already a part of Mortal Kombat 1, the rest of the cast could make a pretty nice expansion to the game.

Could Soldier Boy return in Season 4 of The Boys?
The success of a fighting game set in the show’s universe seems almost guaranteed given the show’s massive fanbase and the proven appeal of its dark humor and graphic violence. With the show’s popularity and the existing interest in violent, character-driven games, Tournament of Heroes could easily tap into a ready-made market for fighting games.

Season 4 of the show has solidified the show’s position as a pop culture juggernaut, with viewership up by 21% over the previous season. The show is set to end with Season 5, but more seasons of Gen V and other spin-offs are in active development.
The show’s dark humor, social commentary, and unapologetically violent action sequences are a perfect recipe for a hit video game experience. The game could also include a single-player, narrative-focused mode that would be similar to the NetherRealm games and expand on the characters even further.
Moreover, the unique characters and their distinct powers would provide endless possibilities for gameplay mechanics. Each fight could bring new surprises, aligning with the unpredictable nature of the show.
