The Boys: Most Powerful Supes Ranked

Season 3 of The Boys is now airing, watch it only on Prime Video! www.amazon.com/gp/video/store...
The world is populated with an abundance of superhero content at the moment, and as the MCU and the DCEU dominate the big and small screen, let’s not forget the gleefully brutal satire that is Amazon’s The Boys. Set in a world filled with superheroes who aren’t all that good, the show offers bloody anti-programming to most of the more family-friendly superhero content out there. It’s wickedly funny, full of suspense and filled with characters that utilize a terrifying skillset. But when all is said and done, the biggest question we find ourselves asking is just who is the strongest of all the characters?
It’s easy to say Homelander right off the bat. The psychopath with Superman’s powers has an iron grip on the world and most of the general public and most of the show is about finding ways to control Homelander and his near indestrucibility. And it’s safe to assume that Homelander will never grow a conscience or a sense of guilt, does his temperamental attitude and fragile masculinity weaken him compared to other heroes? How do the rest of The Seven compare in terms of strength? How does A-Train’s super speed compare to The Deep’s mastery over aquatic environments? Well, we’re going to talk about all that today!
So join me as I break down the strongest characters from Amazon’s superhero phenomenon. Where does your favorite character place on this list? Watch and find out! After you’re done, be sure to hit that big like and subscribe button for more awesome superhero content like this. And be sure to leave a comment telling us what you’re most excited about for season 3! Thanks for watchin CBR! Let’s get started!

I just rewatched it, he says it'll cut her in half, and does the laser for just a second. Then she calls him a pussy to get him to do it again. He looked surprised it didn't kill her at first. So maybe Homelander can't control laser strength, but like I said, I still think the kid has the potential to be the most powerful. Life is so serious, sometimes it's just fun to debate the power of lasering one's tits. 🙃

The director said that Soldier Boy will be much more powerful than his comic counterpart so I would rank him strengthwise like Queen Maeve, also Eric Kripke said that he won't be the easily swayed and manipulated coward that he is in the comic, but a far more dangerous man, Eric Kripke has described him as "the Homelander before Homelander". And now that the show is out, we can see that Soldier Boy is either the second most powerful supe or the most powerful.

[@Oscar01-21]

@@TheCouto11 I still believe he is voughts “safety net” against homelander and I assume ⚠️*Spoiler*⚠️ after we saw half his face burned to shit and a chunk of his skull missing he probably swore some sort of “oath” and do voughts bidding with strict obedience. I also theorise that noir killed stormfront and he’ll probably fight homelander at some point this season as he might uncover the body and notice something wrong. Either way it should be a great season. Anthony starr came out and said that as homelander he’s never rly had to do any fight choreography before and he’s had to do a lot this season. So I’m excited for it.

[@rockwarlock9573]

@@Oscar01-21 I agree that Black Noir is probably a safety net, but disagree with one thing. Since we didn't see her death scene, I'm not entirely convinced Stormfront is dead (kind of like they did with Rebecaa Butcher). I think it was a ploy by Vought specifically Stan Edgar. That leaves the question of why and I think I have an answer for that; to manipulate Homelander. Whether it was to enhance his image by making him act out of character before a speech they planned, which is what happened, or an attempt to hurt the image that backfired remains to be seen.

[@goofytuna6077]

I like to think of ryan and homelander as venomous snakes in terms if their heat vision power level. Just like baby snakes are more dangers to humans because they let out all their venom in one uncontrolled bite, ryan has more powerful heat vision because he has no control over it. Whereas homelander can clearly control the power of his heat vision.

[@Steryd86]

This didn't age too well now did it.

[@Warrior9645]

Not really a honest comparison between Homelanders laser and Ryans laser. When Homelander shot his laser on Stormfront he didn't want to kill her. He did it as foreplay like some people do with candle wax. If he wanted to kill her he definitely could and it would be worse than what Ryan did to her.

[@joshuae4639]

If butcher gets anywhere near as strong as homelander. Homelander is in serious trouble. Think about it. Homelander's never broken a sweat in his life whereas butcher is a proper brawler. I think a suped up butcher versus black noir would be more fun to watch.

[@TheLastSane1]

Starlight is also not one to fight to kill. Remember, she is actually a good person and a hero and was not one to fight like that. A-Train was angry but also not really fighting to kill but to stop her and prove himself. So both where holding back and to be fair A-train should be no where near LIGHT-Speed given his race feat took him juicing got him up to 829 mph. That was him taking V to beat out Shockwave who got 765 mph without juicing. Light is well much much faster.

@@julianclift981 gonna have to disagree with you on that one, they both took Homelander's beam to the chest like it was quite literally nothing...only difference is his beam towards Maeve more than likely had killing intent while his beam towards Stormfront was a kink beam. Stormfront and Maeve also fought hand to hand for a bit and if I recall Stormfront didn't get a single good hit in while Maeve wiped the floor with her. Based off what we saw in the last couple seasons, I don't think Stormfront would put up nearly as good of a fight against Homelander as Maeve did. It almost seemed like Maeve was gonna best Homelander for a second in the season 3 finale. Though he probably would've won if the fight had gone on much longer...

wel the earliest homelancder wil die is end of season 3 and honest shows that last 4-5 seasons tend to drag on,i would be fine with it if the boy develops his powers and eventualy kills homelander and then reveal that the big badie that is in the shadows. remember homelander isnt the biggest evil its the people who made him.

I think Ryan would be #1 not only from being the first natural born supe but because he appears to have all of homelanders powers. If he went into training to control those power he would be on a whole different level and possibly be stronger if not for the issue that he seems to not want to hurt anyone which could have Homelander taking advantage of.

Black Noir's character is already someone else. In fact, something seems off about his past character, so I'm wondering if there's more story later to this as he doesn't seem as tough then as he does now.

[@kyriecrossley3593]

As you can see his brain was exposed and even harmed during the flashback. We also see him coloring during a meeting showing he kinda has a childlike mentality. He's basically a super assassin with little thoughts outside of doing what he is told

Number 2 to homelander

[@cylon5741]

The only reason Homelander didn't die in the first encounter with Soldier Boy is because Soldier Boy had just shot his laser wad taking out the twins and others at herogasm. Note that Homelander suffered his first injury, a bruise, only after he was in proximity to radioactive Soldier Boy. This shows Soldier Boy's radiation degrades other supes powers, no blast necessary. In Vought tower, Homelander is further degraded by being in proximity to Soldier Boy. Witness Maeve bloodying his nose and rupturing his eardrum with a mere piece of metal while before the return of Soldier Boy, NOTHING that had been thrown at him cause him any harm whatsoever. Homelander is lucky Ryan convinced him to exit Vought tower. Also notice that Soldier Boy grabbed attacking Kimiko by the throat without even looking in her direction. Soldier Boy also took full laser blast to his face with only surficial injuries. Butcher's laser blast was shown to be equal to Homelander's at the herogasm fight. Soldier Boy then proceeded to beat the hell out of Butcher and toss him like a rag doll. Soldier Boy was rested--had not laser blasted--when he arrived at Vought tower. Homelander could not free himself from Soldier Boy's grip. Stan Edgar will delight in revealing to Homelander that he has never been the most powerful supe and that he has already been degraded just by being around Soldier Boy. He will also tell Homelander that if he [Edgar] doesn't enter the correct code every day, Soldier Boy will be released from his prison canister. This will be how Edgar keeps Homelander in check, even though the code business may be another Vought lie, like Homelander being the most powerful supe or Soldier Boy being a racist.

Wasn't Black Noir actually the one that performed everything Homelander was accused off? I mean Homelander wasn't a guy with pure motives, but in the comics it turned out that everything bad that he did - it was actually Noir, parading like him, who was trully insane by this point.

[@chickenhawk8591]

yes thats true, noir would commit crimes and then take photos with his unmasked face in order to toy with homelander, home lander feels regret from being fooled and that he thought he was a murderer, he justifies what he has done since being accused as just "realizing my true self and there's no turning back now"

This proves two things, Soldier Boy is both stronger and more durable than HomeLander. Soldier Boy was gassed out from the PTSD Radiation Blast, which is why it took him a lot longer to regenerate the same, had he been 100% of himself, he would obliterate Homelander on his own.
