I believe it was just Compound V. They didn't have special powers but they were more than just a little stronger, sturdier, etc. The whole point was they were powerful enough to essentially have a cold war-style stalemate with the Seven and to 'punish' any other supes that got out of line. Hughie accidentally punches through the body of a supe he was fighting when he first got injected because he didn't know how string he really was, IIRC.

2021-11-29 20:28:56 +0000 UTCWasn't it a Compound V derivative? They didn't have powers so much as they were just a little sturdier, a little stronger, a little faster than normal people.

2021-11-29 02:49:57 +0000 UTCCompletely agree about Homelander! It's so wild how they manage to do that. Wow! I didn't know that about the comics. I can't imagine them even wanting to take Compound V! -Sam

2021-07-25 17:40:36 +0000 UTCThe show does a really good job of allowing Homelander small human moments so he's not just a straight 100% psychopath. I think he was mostly being real with Ryan, with enrcouraging his power use mostly being secondary. And while I wouldnt say his life has been a tragedy, of course, but it does bring up the nature vs nurture argument between him and his son. And Herogasm in season 2 is going to RIDICULOUS. Can't wait. Also, in tne comics The Boys all took compound V and are super-powered, which was the Homelander and The Seven contigency. The show's The Boys not being super powered is so much better in so many ways.
