Though Hughie can punch through body armor, Hughie's slightly enhanced strength poses no threat to Homelander. Yes, Hughie can hold his own against some supes while on Temp V, but he still has no chance of taking down Homelander on his own.
As previously mentioned, Comic Noir was able to kill Homelander because he was a clone and they had the same powers. Ryan may not be a clone, but he and Homelander share the same DNA, similar abilities and he's proven himself to be pretty deadly, even when that's not been his intention.
Though Homelander and Black Noir are theoretically evenly matched, Black Noir succeeded in killing Homelander, making him the one Supe to do the impossible. As the number one Supe, it's unlikely that anyone could defeat the Seven's leader.
Powers and abilities
The dosage applied to Wee Hughie is worth $19 billion, and gives him superhuman levels of strength and durability, the likes of which means he can casually injure and kill regular humans as well as some superhumans.
Although Hughie is angry at Butcher, he soon comes to accept his powers (which are permanent) of improved strength and durability.
Even though Soldier Boy could not take down Homelander with the help of Hughie and Butcher (Karl Urban) using temporary doses of Compound V, it was abundantly clear that he is still the closest anyone has been to the individual strength of Homelander.
Similar to Female of the Species, the Frenchman's use of Compound V has given him abilities such as increased strength, smell and increased durability.
Superhuman Durability: Hughie Campbell has demonstrated remarkable durability whilst under the influence of V24. He shown to take a quick punch to the jaw from Soldier Boy as if he was hit by a human, while a heavy punch knocked him on his back.
Hughie Campbell, Crimson Countess, Lamplighter (3 deaths)
This count includes the memorable Translucent death by Hughie's hand and the tragic killing of Grace Mallory's grandchildren committed by Lamplighter.
Like Hamlet with no time to think, anger over Robin, anger over Butcher using him, anger over Annie's mistreatment by Vought, and anger at himself has allowed Hughie to act when he might otherwise not have. Until he stole Compound V24Opens in new tab, though, he never gave himself over entirely to his base instincts.
Which's Avengers member is easily beat first by The Homelander? Most of the avengers sure. But the heavy hitters like hulk, Thor, and arguably iron man can beat homelander.
Given his physiology as an Eternal, Thanos, even without the Infinity Stones, could outmatch Homelander, as he's stronger and can take way more damage as he's practically invulnerable. Unlike Superman, Homelander isn't nearly as indestructible as he likely could be killed.
Kimiko is the strongest hero of The Boys, with heightened levels of superhuman strength, durability, speed, and reflexes. She also possesses an accelerated healing factor that allows her to heal almost as fast as she's injured.
Similar to Captain Marvel, Thor is one of the more powerful Avengers and Marvel characters in general. Given that Thor has more experience fighting in both the cosmic universe and on Earth, Homelander has no chance against Thor.
Carol Danvers has the advantage in a fight over Homelander not just when it comes to durability but when it comes to combat speed, strength, endurance, and just about every measurable category.
Butcher ended up being the series' biggest villain, controlled his surroundings until the very end, and by choosing Hughie to end his life, it was one final twist of the metaphorical knife into the man whose life he forever changed in The Boys comic book series.
Although suped-up Hughie is far stronger than normal Hughie, he still doesn't come close to how powerful Compound V has made Homelander. Hughie can teleport, but Homelander is so fast that he could probably beat Hughie to wherever he is going.
However, Hughie also possesses a regenerative ability after taking the temporary V that heals his broken arm and the deep cut on his hand that came from smashing a glass jar.
Butcher can't fly and it's not yet known if he has X-ray vision or super hearing, but he does have enough of the same powers as Homelander that he is able to actually engage him physically and not only survive, but potentially best the superhero.
Hughie unleashed his powers during a confrontation with some Russian guards who were about to shoot down Mother's Milk. In the clash, Hughie ran to save his friend's life with an extraordinary speed.
Powers. Superhuman Strength: Butcher's physical strength was augmented by Compound V. Hence, he was able to easily lift a grown man and knee him in the groin with enough force to hinder his performance. He crumbled a pistol in his bare hands, and one-shot Big Game with a single headbutt.
Aging. Whilst some Supes such as Stormfront and Soldier Boy don't age than their human counterparts, the average Supe ages almost identically as the average person.
He is of French - Algerian descent. Serge claims that his father was bipolar and that when he was ten-years-old, his father tried to smother him with a Hello Kitty duvet.
Longevity: Black Noir has been active since the 80s. He is older than Gunpowder and is likely somewhere around his 50s or 60s, however he shows no signs that his age has affected his physical condition and he even appears to be even stronger then he was forty years prior.
