In the TV Universe (not the comics where I think they ALL can fly have and super strength)..... aren't Maeve and Soldiers Boy's (original) powers pretty much the same?
Super strength, invulnerability (or near), stamina etc.
Does Maeve (or SB) have super speed?
What did SB have (prior to the Russian upgrade) have that Maeve doesn't?
Soldier may have similar powers as her, but his appear much stronger than hers.
shareHonestly I dont even understand what powers they all have.
Specially Maeve. She is like Wonder Woman copycat. She is strong and thats it? She took against Homelander. But he took her eyes easily. So she is not invincible and cant heal. She can take hits that she cant recover from.
And Solider Boys is being simply invincible? He can take whatever hits and keep going. And then ruskies gave him power to take away powers from other sups with that light inside. Which made him powerful enough to take all powers from Homelander.
I understood that she couldn't heal because Soldier Boy "De-Powered" her with his explosion thingy.
shareI was just about to make a post asking why Homelander said to Soldier Boy "You were the only one almost as strong as me". What about Maeve and Stormfront? Aren't they also nearly as strong as him? Even before the season 3 finale, I thought it was implied that Maeve was the second strongest hero; and she had to come in and help beat Stormfront because the latter was beating the Boys, including Starlight and Kimiko.
With the exception of Homelander, the power levels of everyone else seem to fluctuate. Maeve easily overpowered Black Noir in season 2, but in season 3 he got the jump on her. Granted, Homelander could've held her down too since he was right there, we don't know because the scene cut to black before we saw how it happened, but why use Black Noir at all, especially since he was shown to be weaker than her?
its a question of degrees. even that invisible guy in season 1 had durability. so does starlight, and a-train, and that guy who was harassing the black community.
but it was clearly homelander was far above anyone else. if not it woulda been easy for two to team up, say Maeve and a-train and take him out. I do agree though their final fight kinda showed weird discrepancies in hers and his durability. as well as the powers ill mention below.
he was faster than everyone else, more durable, stronger and had those laser eyes. Wasnt Maeve talking about it taking 7 super to take him down?
