I think Homelander is kind of "blown up" by Vought and people in everyone's minds. I'm trying to think back and was there any point, until the 3v1 where Homelander was uncontested but some one actually TRIED to fuck him up? It's always been "oh shit, he has lazer eyes AND can fly! No way I can fight that!" I think he's strong, but not as strong as all the PR and Vought babysitters would have him to believe. Maeve was said to have been training for months while she told everyone she wasn't specifically to fight Homelander at some point. I don't think their strength levels are that much different, just maybe Homelanders durability (and maybe not? Dude got fucking strawed). Basically flying/eye lazering are all Homelander seems to REALLY have over any other tough supe 1v1. Maeve was basically Black Noir without the ninja theme and maybe higher strength.

Since Vought specifically made everyone, good or bad, with V it makes sense that there'd be basically 0 people able to show up Homelander when everyone is told he's a living God. Outside of clashes in the last season and this season, no one has fought the dude. He just comes in and kills humans or ambushes supes he wants dead.

Power levels were all over the place this season... One could say that Maeve was fighting the fight of her life, like at the best she could ever be... and homelander was confused and not quite there.

There's also this underline story that he is disappointed in his team... and Maeve is like the greatest bastion of just that, maybe he was feeling a lot of it in that moment.

Depressed supe Maeve trying to find a way to kill Homelander ragefucks Butcher. One-eyed powerless Maeve lucky to be alive settles for pussy on the farm.

She could not kill Homelander or even seriously wound him, period. She bought time while the other fight happened but took longer to grow a conscience than Butcher.

There are indeed teirs of supes. SB, Homelander and Stormfront we're at the top of the pyramid. Look at some of the schleps on SB's team. Compare bullet bouncing boy to some of the heavy hitters. Yeah not missing with a gun is cool but, there were supes who we basically invulnerable and had other powers to boot.

It makes him a much less compelling villain if he's the same as Maeve with better PR.

That's the running (no pun)A-Train story line.

If I was asked to find the connection, I would say Temp V is an indirect comparison to Heroine or Crack. Im leaning more towards crack cause that would fit the stereotype way more, but either works.

Cocky asshole types are usually always well "acted".

See Kano in that awful Mortal Kombat movie.

There was that scene in S2 where Kimikos brother dropped a train on him in the sewer and he caught up to them without a scratch on him;
