[The Boys] Could Homelander have saved that passenger jet?

Spoiler:

In Season One, Queen Maeve asks Homelander if he could push the jet to Safety. Homelander says he couldn’t because he couldn’t stand on anything.

Maybe I’m remembering wrong but I’m pretty sure Superman was able to carry a jet to safety.

Assuming Homelander has the strength and abilities of Superman do you think he could have saved the plane if he wanted to?

(Yes I know Homelander said he couldn’t but Homelander is also a selfish dick, a true hero would have at least tried.)

Nope. 

He has incredible strength, is virtually indestructible, flight, speed (not a ton, but fast), some heightened senses, and laser eyes. 

What he doesn't have is everything amped up and the ability to 'share' in the odd ways Superman does his abilities (the only way he can fly people around at supersonic speeds and not kill them) or to lift planes.

Think of it this way: a guy with JUST strength and invulnerability somehow gets in position to lift a car or an elephant. Where do you lift it to not damage or hurt it? Superman kinda... spreads his Thing and this allows him to do it. In some versions his 'field' of some sort does this. It's logical within him because it's always worked that way. That's why he can do crazy stuff. 

Homelander is closer to but *far* below adult Viltrumites, except they don't have laser eyes. No Viltrumite could just pick up a cargo ship. It would split in half from all that concentrated pressure. He *could* drag it by a giant chain if the chain was secured right and its force distributed properly. 

So overall, no. Homelander had one chance to save the flight: save the pilot(s) and kill the bad guy without nuking the entire cockpit. He hesitated, the pilots were dead, and then there's a chance he could have with help brought the plane down. Once the cockpit was obliterated, no chance.
