The fight ends with
Superhuman Strength: One of Queen Maeve's primary abilities is tremendously enhanced superhuman strength, far greater than that of normal human beings. She was one of the most physically powerful Supes to have ever lived, only surpassed by Homelander.
The more knowledge that is gained about the history of Noir and the role he played with Soldier Boy, the longevity of Noir makes it clear he has always been one of the most powerful superheroes who certainly could have held his own against anyone in the Seven, other than the man who tears out his insides (one of the ...
First thing's first: Maeve is, like, top 5 Supes of all time. She should be in the tier directly below Homelander and Soldier Boy.
Black Noir Is The Strongest 'Supe' In The Boys
Despite the two being identical, the fight goes in favor of Black Noir. Even after losing an arm in Homelander's initial attack, Noir is able to overpower him and emerge victorious, even if so terribly wounded that Butcher can finally take him out.
“Homelander is basically the weakest character in the show. So he's constantly covering that up and covering up the fact that he's actually incredibly vulnerable, and ultimately weak, even though he's the physically strongest person on the show.” Starr admits.
Psychological. Brain Damage: Despite his healing factor, Black Noir can still find difficulty in healing brain damage. During his fight with Soldier Boy, he received extreme head trauma which would end up causing a variety of mental problems, including: Amnesia, loss of speech, hallucinations and infantilization.
Kimiko also forms tight friendships with Hughie and Starlight. Though she isn't always a fan of her powers, she never hesitates to use them to protect the people she cares for. Kimiko is the strongest hero of The Boys, with heightened levels of superhuman strength, durability, speed, and reflexes.
Superhuman Strength: Black Noir is strong enough to kill Homelander, needing just one punch to completely destroy his jaw. He is stronger than Homelander, who could hurl a fighter jet with one hand and kill Queen Maeve with just one punch.
With the genes of the most powerful man in the world, it's no surprise that Ryan Butcher (Cameron Crovetti) tops this list. Despite his young age, Ryan has already shown glimpses of powers that will make him equally strong, if not stronger, than Homelander.
Noir's animated animal pals get him to face his Soldier Boy fears by re-creating the event that made him so completely terrified of Soldier Boy in the first place, a day when Soldier Boy beat him up after he stood up to him, as well as the nearly fatal attack Soldier Boy made on Noir the day he led Payback in ...
In the television series, Black Noir is depicted as a normal man imbued with Compound V. As a result, he gained superhuman strength, a regenerative healing factor and "silent ninja" aesthetic, with his only weakness being his tree nut allergy, in reference to both Superman's weakness to kryptonite and his actor Nathan ...
But for the sake of underlining how much went down in the episode, here we go: Homelander (Antony Starr) kills Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell); the Deep (Chace Crawford) kills Robert Singer's (Jim Beaver) VP pick and the slot goes to secret supe Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit); Starlight/Annie (Erin Moriarty) flies with ...
As confirmed by Thandiwe Newton (via Insider), Maeve's power strengthens in response to a deep survival instinct - one of the attributes Ford originally pumped up. Her mastery of technology from Westworld season 3 was likely triggered the same way.
9 MAEVE: Physically Stronger
She has immense physical power, so much so that when she was younger she punched a falling school bus and only suffered a few broken bones in her arm. Her ability to jump long distances also plays into this, making her almost invincible in a show of might.
While the latter certainly has some mighty powers, she gets overwhelmed when paired with someone of her power level. Not to mention, Homelander and Black Noir were able to take her down as well. Wonder Woman is the clear victor and the strongest between the two.
High-speed Flight: Being a clone of Homelander Black Noir is naturally capable of the same flying feats as the Homelander or perhaps even better.
In the aftermath of the Nicaragua operation, Black Noir is found with half of his face burned and his left eye damaged. The attack also rendered him seemingly unable to speak, explaining why the character never talks in the current timeline.
While it is possible he ages normally, Black Noir has a healing factor, a power that typically slows aging in various superhero comics. In The Boys, supes aren't born with their powers. Instead, they gain them when they take a dose of Compound V.
As her superhero name suggests, Starlight can absorb electricity and send it out in a blast of light. That's enough to blind her opponents temporarily or knock them out. She's also stronger and less likely to get hurt than others.
Originally Answered: Is Soldier Boy more powerful than Homelander in the boys? No. Homelander is more powerful, but Soldier Boy is nearly on par. Though maybe his radiation blasts are more powerful than Homelander.
Queen Maeve is the tertiary antagonist-turned-anti-hero of the Dynamite Entertainment comic series The Boys. She is one of the most powerful and most important members of The Seven, only behind Homelander and Black Noir in terms of strength.
Even after being a ruthless hunter, he spares the life of the little kid. Later in the season, he is seen crying as he finds out about the compound V news, which hints that he might have had a good relationship with his parents and guardians, and is now disheartened thinking that they probably used him.
In the comics, Black Noir was created for the sole purpose of killing Homelander if he goes on a rampage, and when he continuously doesn't, it drives Black Noir insane, causing him to commit various atrocities (such as the raping of Billy Butcher's wife) disguised as Homelander.
Durability Limitation: Even with his healing factor, Black Noir can still feel pain from damage taken, although he has a notably high pain tolerance.
