The Boys Unveil Game-Changing Additions to Their Superteam, Leaving The Seven in the Dust

Summary

The Seven, once considered the strongest supes, have eroded their image and now only consist of Homelander, A-Train, and The Deep.

The main supes of Gen V, including Marie and Cate, have demonstrated superior power compared to The Seven, making it easy for them to overpower the latter. A confrontation between The Seven and Gen V's main group would pose a significant challenge for The Seven due to their numerical disadvantage and lack of unity, in contrast to the teamwork exhibited by Gen V's supes.

The Seven has been hailed as the most formidable supe team in The Boys, but it pales in comparison to another supe group. According to The Boys' backstory, Soldier Boy's Payback initially captivated the world with their heroic deeds and behind-the-scenes drama. However, after Payback disbanded, Vought International introduced The Seven as the ultimate supe squad, with Homelander at the helm, and they dominated the early episodes of the show.

Nevertheless, over the course of the first three seasons, The Seven's pristine reputation crumbled, and most of its members either perished or left the team. By the conclusion of The Boys season 3, The Seven consisted only of Homelander, A-Train, and The Deep. As The Seven's stature declined, a new supe team emerged in The Boys' universe, one that holds great potential to surpass The Seven in strength.

Gen V's Main Group Is Stronger Than The Seven

Despite the deaths of heroes like Translucent and Black Noir in recent seasons of The Boys' The Seven, others such as Queen Maeve and A-Train have lost their super abilities. However, even when considering the original Seven, The Deep was never a competent hero and could easily be overpowered by anyone from Gen V's main group - Andre, Marie, Cate, Jordan Li, Sam, and Emma. This would leave the original Seven with only six powerful supers. Given that Billy Butcher and Hughie were able to defeat Translucent without super abilities, it should not be a challenge for the overpowered young supers from Gen V to defeat him.

While Starlight is no longer part of The Seven after the events of The Boys season 3, her powers were not particularly impressive when she first joined the group in The Boys season 1. Jordan Li's female version already possesses the ability to produce bursts of energy like Starlight without relying on external power sources. In a hypothetical battle between The Seven and Gen V's main group, Black Noir, Homelander, and Queen Maeve would pose a challenge to the young supers. However, it is debatable whether they would emerge victorious considering they would be outnumbered by a team of talented young supers, unlike The Seven.

Gen V's Group Has 2 Overpowered Supes Compared To The Seven

Gen V season 1 has established that its main supe group comprises two incredibly powerful members. Despite initially appearing relatively weak compared to her peers at Godolkin University, Marie has continuously showcased her strength and abilities in each episode. Her control over blood flow, including the ability to make Rufus' penis explode, suggests that she has the potential to be just as formidable as, if not more so than, powerful supes like Victoria Neuman and Cindy. If Marie continues to grow at this rate, she may even pose a challenge to Homelander in the future.

During the initial episodes of Gen V, Cate's mind-control abilities, known as the "push," seemed innocuous. However, her true power was kept secret from her friends. Episode 6 of Gen V revealed that her strength far exceeded expectations, as a mere touch from her could instantly incapacitate any supe. Not only that, but she could even manipulate Homelander into eliminating the rest of the Seven with a single touch. With two immensely powerful supes on their team, one can't help but wonder how an ultimate showdown between The Seven and Gen V's main characters would play out.

How A Gen V Vs. The Seven Fight Would Go Down

In a hypothetical confrontation between The Seven and the main characters of Gen V, Andre's powers, reminiscent of Magneto, would likely be effective against all members of The Seven except for Homelander. The battle between Sam and Queen Maeve, who possess similar super-strength abilities, would probably result in a one-on-one clash. Yet, due to Queen Maeve's vast experience and composed demeanor, she may have an advantage in this matchup. Additionally, in her form enhanced by excessive calories, Emma could potentially wreak havoc with her superhuman strength.

However, it should be noted that if Emma falls to the ground while in her giant state, it may take her a considerable amount of time to regain her footing, as the larger she grows, the harder her fall becomes. Conversely, in her shrunken state, she could easily eliminate anyone if she manages to infiltrate their ear. Yet, infiltrating the ears of powerful individuals like Homelander, Maeve, A-Train, and even Black Noir may prove to be a challenging task. On the other hand, Jordan Li possesses a versatile array of abilities, enabling them to hold their ground against virtually any opponent. Whether they can ultimately defeat the stronger members of The Seven will depend on their resilience in combat and their ability to persevere even after sustaining injuries.

Considering the remarkable superhuman strength, speed, and tactical intelligence possessed by Homelander when he is calm and composed, he undoubtedly poses the greatest challenge for the Gen V group. However, Homelander's inability to stand his ground against Temp V Butcher and Soldier Boy during the Herogasm showdown in The Boys season 3 indicates that formidable Gen V supes like Andre, Marie, Sam, and Jordan Li could potentially join forces to overpower him. By collaborating, they could subdue Homelander, allowing Cate to utilize her "push" powers to permanently immobilize him by manipulating his belief that he is not a supe.

Are Gen V's Characters Too Strong? Or The Seven Too Weak?

The main characters of Gen V prove their incredible strength by standing a chance against The Boys, the most powerful adult supe team. However, this also exposes the weakness of The Seven. Vought International prioritizes creating a brand image that appeals to the masses when selecting supes for The Seven. As a result, they don't always assemble the strongest supes, as seen in the unnecessary inclusion of The Deep. Power rankings should have disqualified him from being a member of The Seven.

Despite losing his powers and not being as fast as A-Train, The Deep has managed to maintain his position in The Seven through his devotion to Homelander and his advocacy for ocean protection. Similarly, A-Train has also remained in the supe team, and there is a possibility that he may regain his superspeed abilities in season 3 of The Boys after receiving Blue Hawk's heart. In contrast, Gen V's main supe team consists of highly ranked supes from Godolkin University, making them seemingly superior to The Seven in various aspects.
