right.

honestly, most of the seven are a joke. Homelander and Stormfront are the only real ones with insane abilities

What exactly are Queen Maves powers?
Super strong and durable, remember the armored truck scene from Ep 1? And the first woman in the Seven, remember how Starlight said she looked up to her (or something like that).
But not invulnerable- also remember she said something about how some of her bones are crooked from the fractures.

My questions: Are all the Supes super strong and bullet proof except for the telekinetic Asian guy?
Seems to be; Deep punched the shite out of somebody early. Starlight was weightlifting a car or something like that as a kid, and Billy shot her in the chest and she just said "ow". A-Train blew that girl up in Ep 1, instead of smearing both her and himself.

Aquaman would've had the whale or some other large mammal/fish flip the boat, instead of just beaching it as a roadblock. Deep is a moron.

Translucent got beat up though and the Gecko guy doesn’t seem very strong although we don’t know for sure.

A Train is legit aside from his health issue. Someone that fast should be invincible against anyone except Homelander.

I'm wondering what's up with Black Noir. He never speaks and seems really badass. I'm sure he'll erupt into a major player for one side or the other eventually. (And no, I've never read the comics).

Maeve totaled out an armored truck in Ep 1 without even losing her balance.

A-Train has super-speed and durability, at least Quicksilver level if not Flash level. And note as displayed, he ran right through Hughie's girlfriend and blew her up, without suffering a scratch.

Translucent was invisible, and until they figured out to shove a bomb up his arse, was pretty much invulnerable. His skin was unbreakable, they had to use the physics of the force to blow him up.

Starlight took a .50 BMG to the chest from about 25 yds and said "ow"; she could lift cars while still a teen. Those flashes, Homelander wanted her to KILL Hughie with that so I'd say they're potentially very powerful.
**VERY interesting note, the wiki says she uses outside electricity.
quote:

"Electricity goes in, blast comes out."
—Starlight
Electricity Absorption: Annie is able to absorb the electricity from around her to fuel her powers
That sets her up as an easy match for Stormfront.

Black Noir seems to be a Terminator. Ultimate fighter/killer, doesn't matter if you blow half his face off, he just keeps coming. Probably regenerates ala Wolverine (and Gecko, and Kimiko...).

So Homelander is the only one that "is Superman", but all of them would absolutely wreak havoc in the real world. You'd probably need a nuke to stop any of them.

Yeah, A-Train is clearly going to fall down dead of a heart attack. He could take the rest outside of Homelander... we just don't know what Homelander's kryptonite is. He's probably not the most skilled fighter, just used to overpowering everyone. If someone knew how to hurt him, actually hurt him, he'd be in trouble- because he loves to monologue and taunt his victims.
As it now stands, he's just a bit mentally weak and unstable, that seems to be the only way you can get him off track.

We just need to find that universe's Batman to get access to his dossiers. He'll know how to stop each one of The Seven using the power of his filing cabinets.

I want to tell you what Black Noir’s powers are but frick man, you’ll just find out next season.

FTR, I haven’t read the comics either, I just know what’s up with Black Noir.

We could only be so lucky. He's maybe the worst character on the show.

i might be in the minority, but these 3 episodes were kind of boring for me.


Other than spending too much time of The Deep's shroom trip, I thought they were better than last season.
