From Season 3, Episode 2: "The Only Man in the Sky"
Watch The Boys on Amazon Prime Video: AAN.SonyPicture...
Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that's when they're using their powers for good. What happens when the heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers? When it's the powerless against the super powerful, the Boys head out on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. Based on the comic book series of the same name.

The reason why Butcher is a serious threat, is because most of the Supes' only combat experience is fake choreography. Where as Butcher has actual experience, and is blindly obsessed with killing them.

Thats whatade Alfred kicking superman's arse when he took a super pill make sense. Alfred was special forces superman never really trained in hand to hand

[@Nyrufa]

@@julesmasseffectmusic Superman trained in two different styles of Kryptonian martial arts, one of which involves heightening your bodily senses to the point where the world seems to move in slow motion. He knows how to fight, it's just that his actual power and skill varies dramatically between writers, as well as what the plot requires at any given moment.

Butcher got really lucky with what powers he got. Imagine Temp-V gave the ability of something like writing very good jingle songs.

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Butcher hates homelander and got his powers and knows combat hughie hates the speedster and can teleport thus being faster than a speedster. Each got what they needed to beat their hated foe. It's like V gives you what you want when you have a soul eating desire but kids don't have those so it's picking up on some random impuls

This one scene encapsulates exactly why butcher and Homelander are two sides of the same coin. Homelander often kills without remorse, but does so out of impulse. Butcher on the other hand instead, kills out of necessity without remorse. Regardless, they both have showcased mercilessly ending the lives of people, deep down just to satisfy their own violent, hateful urges.

Maybe he played it for dramatic effects...

[@hyperion447]

Temp V makes you bullet proof but doesnt increase your weight it seems so supes can still be pushed around like normal (weve seen this multiple times) unless they actively push against the force with their super strength, Butcher wasnt used to having super strength at this point so when the bullets hit him he instinctively recoiled back

He took an experimental dose of compound V to give himself powers temporarily. It's highly radioactive and dangerous, in Butchers case it gave him abilities similar to homelander which is supremely ironic.

It's temporal so you need to re-use it every time. But it also dangerous and literally can give you something like cancer and depends on times how often you use it, it can kill you faster.
