@@irishwristwatch8645 I thought it was just because the tnt twins were out of practice for years. V Butcher and V Hughie were near Soldier Boy when he blasted Kimiko. They didn’t lose their powers then. Kimiko and Starlight kept their powers despite Soldier Boy charging up near them. The PTSD made his blast happen way faster for the tnt twins

[@michaelkenwell9146]

I'd say he matches Homelander on S-Tier thanks to that ability, with his lack of flight/speed is being his main weakness. He lacks mobility, but definitely matches Homelander's endurance and physical strength clearly onscreen, with Butcher having similar powers couldn't really do much damage to him or slow him down a lot at the tower in the S3 finale.

Some points: Love your breakdown of Maeve v Homelander, a lot of people try to undermine her performance in that fight with the holding back narrative even though this only accounted for 30 seconds of their 5+ minutes long fight (including in the background of Soldier Boy v everyone). Her performance here was the best we've seen so far against HL even tho Soldier Boy's hype and radiation blast places him slightly higher. I disagree with Starlight being below Kimiko and Deep. S4 gave her a lot of solid combat feats. Im primarily impressed by her performance against the Shifter, someone who is casually bulletproof and has immense strength and fighting ability. Her durability is top tier in the verse and her powers seem to be growing in potency and versatility. She belongs either at the top of C tier or bottom of B tier with A-Train. Marie is a bit too low considering her internal attacks, which can't really be blocked or countered. She's arguably the strongest of the Gen v lot. I think a few of the Gen V kids could stand to go lower, like Sam below Stormfront and jordan and golden boy lower in b tier. I'd place all of them except Marie below Black Noir, Starlight and A-Train. Otherwise, great ranking, very well researched.

I believe soldier boy>Homelander, because you’re overestimating how much of a power gap was shown at herogasm, their fight lasted a good amount of time , and throughout it they were completely even, while not outright stated, its heavily implied and visible that soldier boy using his blast weakens him temporarily, he can comtrol how much energy he shoots out, and he went all out at herogasm, seconds after he had to fight homelander. And you’re forgetting that the person who is stating soldier boy to be “nearly as strong as homelander” is homelander himself, what was he gonna say, “youre the only one more powerful than me?” Ofc not. He was crapping his pants about fighting soldier boy, and for good reason. You can make a case for both parties, but i think soldier boy’s is the strongest.

[@Free_Krazy]

Regarding Frenchie saying "its nearly impossible to take out a supe" he means those who have the seemingly common damage resistance, like from Starlight to Translucent, just Translucent was perhaps slightly more resistant, but its been mentioned that even a nuke cant hurt Homelander, so it appears to be a spectrum. Mesmer was on the lower end, he was a supe, but he only had his unique trait, if he also had the common resistance trait he would have been an actual threat, but he just lived a normal life with normal problems. Those wernt the kinda supes Frenchie was talking about.

I don't think this guy understands that the entire point of supes is they vary in strength. That's why Homelander is at the top. He is stronger. He is smarter. He is better. Some supes, like Kimiko, regenerate fast but can be injured by bullets. Others are more like Victoria Neuman: durable enough for bullets to bounce off of them. It's not an "inconsistency" for two different superhuman characters to have two different levels of durability and strength.

@@Professor_Fiction It's Supe technology as a whole. Most supes have super strength. Most supes have super durability. Almost all supes have better hearing. But that trait varies between all supes, ranging from Mesmer to Soldier Boy, who is free to do whatever he wants because they could not kill him if they wanted to. In plural, yes. Supes could probably shake off most military technology because 1 Homelander beats an entire country's army, as nothing short of a nuclear warhead can harm him.

Sort of. Butcher and Frenchie have both implied at various points of the series that killing a supe either is nearly impossible and takes months of preparation and planning, until it doesn’t.

In season 1, they had to rely on their brains and arduous planning, while in season 3 they had V24 and Soldier Boy to help them out, just to be back at square 1 for most of Season 4 save for Kimiko and Starlight. Their statements are true, though. Take the original Boys without Kimiko and they truly need several months of planning to take down a supe. I wasn't a big fan of the convenient existence of a virus that can just kill any supe like that, especially with how it got overshadowed by Butcher's new powers in the end, but overall, supes still have that same powerful aura of a ticking time bomb that can do whatever they want, whenever they want.

You made a false comment about Marie while you were discussing Neumann. Marie can also manipulate other people's blood, which is shown several times near the end of Gen V

[@Professor_Fiction]

Thus far she hasn’t had a full grasp on using it at will, otherwise she could have done as much to the Supe threatening Ashley and the Vought execs but instead used blood blades. To me, her use of it seems to be in short bursts surrounding heightened emotions, like memories of her trauma or when Jordan was about to be controlled, not something she has full mastery of yet

[@dinotaco4651]

@@Professor_Fiction The important distinction is can't vs can but hasn't developed the skill for it

[@Professor_Fiction]

Sure, she “can” but that doesn’t mean it’s sometbing she actually does. In a fight, Marie’s standard go to is always creating blood whips or weapons. I wouldn’t say Homelander “can” just fly above everyone else in the series and laser them from above because it’s not something he usually does

[@dinotaco4651]

@@Professor_Fiction I think we're losing sight of what I was originally trying to point out. All I'm getting at is that saying ". . far more advanced version of what Marie Moreau does, capable of manipulating the blood of others rather than her own" is false when on several occasions Marie has used her powers on other people's blood. To call them out specifically: blowing up Rufus' junk, detecting the tracking probes in the cast's necks, detecting the Compound V in Neuman's blood, conjuring a swarm of blood knives in the final fight, and blowing up Cate's hand. Now that I see the list, I'm inclined to say that the only thing holding her back from being on Neuman's level is a lack of practice

[@Professor_Fiction]

Considering I was discussing I think 20-30 characters I was generalizing points that I didn’t think were worth discussing. Yes, Marie can manipulate the blood of others, but it’s not something she’s prone to apply in combat effectively or at all. The way Neuman describes it is that external manipulating blood is exhausting while popping people is pretty efficient, which I tried to surmise

[@alastairmctavish6655]

Shouldn't Ryan be S-tier as well? He seems to have equipotent skill and power potential as Homelander. He mutilated and disabled Stormfront without even trying.

[@Chaosedits_CH02]

I just want to point it out that the show conveys the fact that not all supes are blessed with super human durability, strength or speed. So supes like mesmer or sister sage only possess a unique ability and no enhanced physical prowess while supes like homelander, starlight, deep, stormfront have enhanced physical prowess and various other unique abilities respectively to their own bodies. Anyways I mostly agree with this tier list for the most part.

[@amogus1415]

While prime homelander is likely stronger,currently soldier boy is probably no 1,since he doesnt age,and homelander is aging and weakening,and will only grow weaker

[@ProjektTaku]

We don't know that he's weakening. He could just be aging while maintaining his strength levels.

[@amogus1415]

@@ProjektTaku No,aging weakens you,by almost definition aging is just the breaking down of the body.The fact that his hair is graying is evidence that his dna and stuff isn't functioning as well.Remember,sister sage made these observations regarding his age due to his physical appearance,meaning the biology of his body is being affected It's also a parralel with how his mind is obviously degrading

[@Rdc_Dom]

He is aging, but he's still only middle aged so he's probably not any weaker just yet. Season 4 only takes place 6 months after season 3 and Homelander was already stronger than soldier Boy by a slight margin. Unless you think people get physically weaker after only 6 months Homelander should still be stronger. Plus the narrative hasn't suggested that Homelander is any weaker yet.

[@omegalongdong]

The sheer number of homelander's abilities other than his strenght also clealy makes him the strongest supe. He spotted hughie from a drop of sweat, and he also heard a-train quietly cussing and don't forget how the boys had to make a room out of metal foil just so homelander doesn't fly by and sees them through walls. And people like to downplay his intelligence and skills just because they dislike him. He's infact very smart and skilled, he's just acts the way he does because he was manipulated as a child.

[@umahnator8613]

He really isnt that smart. He did one thing was get neuman to vetray edgar bybusing her child againt her thats it

[@generallegath974]

I always found the SB v Homelander debate really weird; how many times does it need to be shown or outright stated that Homelander is the strongest Supe? I think his fight against Maeve is also talked about as though it was more even than it actually was. Maeve was nearly downed several times in the fight without too much of a struggle, and suffered the loss of an eye. Homelander had a nose bleed and a straw jammed in his ear, which didn't seem to cause much permanent damage.

[@Professor_Fiction]

She’s definitely far far inferior to Homelander. The debate mainly comes down to Maeve vs Butcher realistically in my opinion

[@cengix8850]

he was getting his ass whooped but he needed to use cheap shots like an eye gouge on a girl lol does that not say anything to you

[@generallegath974]

@@cengix8850 What in the world are you talking about? First of all, going off about "cheap shots" in this universe is crazy, especially when you consider that Maeve went for him while his back was turned, punched him in the groin and jammed a straw into a sensitive part of the body (like the eye, ears are also sensitive, especially the inner area). Gouging someone's eye out is a valid move in a fight to the death, I don't know what else to say. Even without that, if you look at the shots that landed he was clearly winning the fight despite Maeve catching him off guard and him clearly holding back for at least a portion of the fight. This should not be surprising; he is the strongest Supe, he's built to be physically more powerful than the rest of them.

[@X_x_ShadowGaming_x_X]

I think where this list screwed the pooch is mixing Feats with the actual Powers/Capabilities. If you stuck with Powers and their potential this list would've been significantly more consistent. Examples: -The Deep is getting folded by Powered Up Starlight. -Kimiko's Brother doesn't have crazy Durability, but that's not where he shines anyways, ripping a Helicopter out of the sky isn't something even some of the B Tiers can do. Yet he's still on the same level as his Sister that he easily flung out of existence. -Kate folded the entire Gen V cast, and was literally only stopped by Marie at the end, Kate's power is OP, she may not be bullet proof or super durable but influencing Supes even as strong as Sam and Goldenboy is NOT something we should overlook. -Hughie got a surprise punch off of Homelander, Teleporting isn't that crazy in dealing damage compared to something consistent like A-Train's speed or his Dad's Phasing Through ability.

[@AdaptedInfiltrator]

For Butcher having a cut on his face 1v1 when fighting Homelander remember that Butcher did get hit by the shockwave of the blast which was strong enough to KO him. Homelander’s lasers KOd him again. As for Soldier Boy/Black Noir, I think Noir could have stabbed him elsewhere besides the skin. Other supes have been bled via getting stabbed in the eyes, ears, etc

Respectfully, Deep gets his skull caved in by Supersonic. Popclaw is an average supe, and he is significantly stronger than her when high. Let that sink in.

[@liohheditz_]

soldier boy just losing energy when he blowing up and when he fought homelander at first he was already weak because of blowing, thats why homelander took him, homelander doesn't stand a chance in hand to hand combat, if he uses the laser, soldier boy easily can use the shield until homelander stops, there is nothing else to do for fight so soldier boy could've take him. just we didn't saw soldier boy in a fight without losing energy against homelander. soldier boy is a soldier he saw a lot of wars he knows how to fight he got a lot of fighting skills.

[@nk30020]

Soldier Boy has the broken ability to disable compound v if he gets off the blast on homelander & he doesn't age like homelander, while homelander is physically stronger, faster, more durable, can fly & shoot lasers.

[@tamim9266]

I don't think the argument for Soldier Boy being stronger comes from pure strength or skill. It's mostly the radiation blast that disables powers like it did with Kimiko and Maive. If he manages to use that on Homelander by pining him, knocking him down, etc., and it works on Homelander as well (he was born with V so maybe it won't affect him) then you could see why Soldier Boy could be the strongest. It's based on Hax, not skill or strength only.

[@skadi2911]

I think season 5 will probably move Kessler Butcher and Starlight all the way up to class A. Kessler Butcher being able to rip in half another supe so easily means he's in a league of his own. To me, only class A heroes or above would be able to wistand its tentacles power (maybe a few ones from class B). The end of S4 also hints at Starlight being able to fuel herself using light from the Sun, since she was able to not only fly, but do it very fast and precisely at that, with only two car batteries available. Since the show clearly showed her needing to use a whole building electricity to just float a bit at the beginning of S4, I'd argue that this theory is very believable. If it's true, that means she'd have almost infinite fuel during daytime for her flight and blasts of energy. Heck, maybe it could help her heal faster too, who knows.
