That really shows homelanders strength. He’s an inexperienced fighter vs three experienced fighters with power. Though soldier boy was rusty, and the other two weren’t used to their powers, they still had years of combat experience fighting people that were powerful, and all three of them do nothing apart from fighting. And here we have homelander, has never met a match, doesn’t really do any fighting but just walks around lasering bad guys, and is worried about other stuff like voughts numbers and promotional activities. And yet he still holds his own and does really well against these guys. And on top of that he was limited in a closed space. If this was a battle in an open place like a field or landscape, he could put on of his greatest powers, flight, into good use, gaining distance, going fast, attacking from multiple angles, repeatedly crashing down on the boys, and so much more. Really comes to show the power of the Homelander.

I mean, if you think about it, Butcher was never afraid of Homelander either. Even from the beginning when he didn’t have powers yet, he wasn’t afraid of him. Yes, Butcher was aware of Homelanders powers, he knew what he could do, but he was never once intimidated by him at all. You know why? Because he straight up wanted him dead and he could not wait to get his hands on him. Which is why in this moment here, he is happy as could ever be to see Homelander actually getting the shit beat out of him for once…

If you think about it, we all are animals IN OUR OWN RIGHT. That being said we may all identify with different savage beasts in the heat of a vigorous battle. Such times we call upon this beast (our spirit animal if you will) and we use not only it’s power but it’s animalistic wisdom to slash our foes from the kneecaps and below. Effectively disabling them from the fight. Once unlocked, this wisdom can be used to further the progress of man. That’s where most inventions come from. The man who invented the blow up doll we commonly use for penile satisfaction, was actually conceived by a man who fought a very dangerous but also oddly sexual bout with a bear back in the late 1800’s. Although his spirit anima is unknown, it is obvious it contributed to the wisdom he gained to invent such a technology, which was EXTREMELY revolutionary at the time. If I do say so myself. If I may.

Lol they had to 3v1 him, he was beating both of them

[@kamixakadio2441]

@@2014saisdYeah, they had to 3v1 him to beat him, and with 3, they were beating him, which caused him to flee in terror because, they were beating him. You'll find the character of Homelander to not really care about powerscaling, but his own life rather. Whether it was 1 supe or 3 supes almost killing him, it's the same to him, he doesnt want to die, and dying scares him, so again, he was fleeing in terror, doesnt matter that it required 3 supes to almost kill him, not to him atleast.

[@kurogikuzuzuki9790]

​@@kamixakadio2441 Homelander's not really that special in terms of how he feels about fighting. He did care that he was getting beat, like literally everyone, but he still hangs onto the idea that there were 3 people to establish that he was stronger, again, like literally everyone. He may also know deep down that nobody in the show cares that they're fighting dirty when they hate him so much and have been trying to take him down for the past year.

[@corvino630]

I was always curious as to just how strong Homelander was. Now seeing the fact he overpowered and was about to kill Soldier Boy and Super Butcher and held his own against 3 supes who caught him completely by surprise makes me realize why everyone is scared of him. He really is terrifyingly powerful

@@Panda_StonerI think the power sets given to people or supes whether temp v or compound v is based on each personality, butcher got laser eyes, strength and durability cos he hates homelander that much he mimicked his power set, hughie getting teleportation cos he’d run from his problems so to speak and possibly as a counter to a trains super speed cos he hated him at that point.

[@tylerdphoto]

My guess is that butcher has fighting in his DNA, hughie always runs away. The plot ensures the compound v gives powers to help their specific situations. You can tell Hughie still doesn’t hit as hard as Butcher. If hughie had lazer eyes and super strength he would have ripped ATrain apart.

[@ImperadorPocoyo]

Seeing how compound V does thing to your brain, an possible explanation is that Butcher only thinks about homelander. So the compound V took that to make the power. Same as Hughie, who only thinks about vanishing. That, or the producers thought it would be cool
