I would be highly surprised if this was the Stormfront from the comics.

also almost as powerful as highlander, which doesn't work here b/c The Boys (except female) are just regular boys

They could make it work, such as Stormfront was one of the first to undergo the experiments with compound V, which was developed by the Nazis and tested on volunteer Aryan adults (who mostly died). They just need to give her never ageing regeneration as part of her super powers and some backstory of a covert operator doing Vought wetworks since the end of WW2.
As for the clip they posted, before she was called into help the 7, she was infiltrating Antifa types in Portland/Seattle.

I interpreted that clip as Homelander just seeing another annoying fan that somehow got on set. Moreover, this "fan" is disrespecting their work by livestreaming behind the scenes without permission, but since it's live, he has to have the nice guy persona to the max. As usual, he would like nothing more than to to kill this "fan" for being there, and all the people that didn't do their jobs that allowed her to get on set.
Then she slow rolls him that she in the 7, and he has to see her all the time.

If they make the Compound V origin the same as the comics, that would make sense. She could be the grand daughter of some Nazi scientist that got scooped up in Operation Paperclip, but he continued to work on the compound in secret.

They already did the attempt to save a jet airliner. I don't expect they'll do it again.

You guys aren't being nearly cynical / 21st century enough.
Give her a youth factor, and she can still essentially be the comic version, the base version of Homelander's DNA (though likely not his literal mother), except now his superior because vagina.
Then make her a Nazi and have Butcher and Co. side with Homelander against her, which explains why Homelander doesn't immediately vaporize the Boys once their identities are known to the public and they are justifiably killable.

Yeah, that's it--people are annoyed there is a super powered Nazi in the show...not that the writers are attempting to somehow use the super powered Nazi to talk about BLM and current events as if they have anything to do with each other.
Come on guys, don't straw man people's annoyance. There was plenty of left wing shit in the first season and NO ONE gave a shit. People get annoyed when the creators of shows try to take something as fucking absurd as this show and use it as a platform to talk about issues that are as delusional as their characters--that's it.

Oh, I don't have any doubt the show will be good. This is entirely about the show runners being idiots and using their show as a platform to try to and ride off current events. (Little worried about Stormfront being softballed--but they softballed a lot of Homelander's incompetence too, and it worked great. So yeah, they bought themselves an open mind.)
