[The Boys] Do Marvel and DC comics exist in the boys universe?

Would be funny seeing someone say Superman is based off Homelander.

Its likely that they both existed at some point. The earliest real point of divergence in both the comics and the show is 1944, when Vought deploys their first super-squad in World War II (with dramatically different outcomes). Marvel and DC (or more accurately, Timely Comics and National Allied Publications) had both started publishing superhero comics before 1940.

However, it's clear that in both continuities, Vought is really the only game in town when it comes to superhero media. Comic shops in the comic continuity are dominated by the Vought-owned Victory Comics, and in the show, Vought is the only producer of superhero movies and merchandise. In any case, it's safe to say that Captain America and Superman are about as relevant as the Fin and Green Lama: long-forgotten characters only remembered by the most hardcore of Golden Age comics fans.
