Despite the fact that the Seven are clearly the crown jewel of Vought’s entire superhero industry, the number of supes out there in the world of The Boys seems to be staggering, and the show has seemingly only scratched the surface. Although many superhumans dream of becoming members of the Seven, the vast majority never wind up making the cut.
But, whether they’re not a part of the Seven by choice or because they’re simply not interesting enough, how do all of the non-Seven supes on The Boysrate in terms of their superpowers, life goals, or overall coolness?
Eagle The Archer
At first glance, it seems like Eagle the Archer might be one of the best supes in The Boys. While his power of exceptional archery skills is kind of weak, he at least seems very nice and decent.
However, that decency really seems to be nothing more than a front for his cult recruiting.
Ezekiel
For whatever reason, being sucked into religious extremism seems to be a habit for quite a few supes. But one of the few things that can be said about Ezekiel is at least he’s a leader instead of a follower.
But this creepy dude and his Stretch Armstrong powers still make him one of the weakest supes in the series.
Popclaw
Retractable claws are not the most impressive superhuman enhancements in the world, but Popclaw can clearly handle herself better than most.
And while her drug addiction is incredibly unappealing, at the very least she’s not a cult leader or recruiter.
Blindspot
At least prior to being mauled by Homelander, it seems like Blindspot was a pretty impressive supe.
A blind man with superhuman hearing and agility, he seems to be modeled somewhat after Matt Murdock, and he was talented enough to audition for the Seven, so he must be somewhat formidable. Or at least, he was somewhat formidable before Homelander likely destroyed his hearing.
Mesmer
He may be a weak willed traitor who is desperate for Homelander and Vought’s approval, but Mesmer doesn’t seem to be quite as unhinged as many other supes, and his powers are fairly impressive.
As a psychic supe, he can read people’s minds, and while he doesn’t seem to be physically gifted, mind reading is an extremely useful skill.
Naqib
As far a superpowers go, Naqib’s ability to spontaneously create explosions at will seems like a pretty handy one.
However, it seems like that’s the only exceptional skill he’s got, and the fact that Black Noir had such an easy time killing him makes it clear that his main strength wasn’t enough to outweigh his weaknesses.
Gecko
It’s actually quite surprising that Gecko is nothing more than a lackey for Vought, as his superpowers seem to be pretty unique and useful.
He seems to have a very high tolerance for pain, which is lucky given that his superpower is the ability to have his limbs hacked off and regenerate them relatively quickly.
Kenji Miyashiro
Despite the fact that he is better known as “the supe terrorist,” Kenji Miyashiro is actually one of the better supes in the history of The Boys.
He is obviously a loving person who wants to do the right thing, even if he has been mislead and misguided by the people around him. And when it comes to actual superpowers, it’s clear that his telekinesis was nothing to sleep on.
Cindy
Cindy only got a brief moment of screen time when the boys were sneaking into the Sage Grove Center, but her powers make her look like pretty tough supe competition.
She seems to have an exceptional talent for telekinesis and crushing things with her mind, and even more impressively, she withstood an attack from Stormfront and appears to be bulletproof.
Doppelganger
It’s a shame that Doppelganger got offed by Homelander. Yes, he seemed like a scummy little creep, but his superpower was quite cool.
The ability to shapeshift into a perfect visual copy of any human being seems like an exceptionally useful skill.
Victoria Neuman
The Boys has likely only scratched the surface of Victoria Neuman’s abilities and her overall game plan, but she certainly made quite an instant impact.
Making people’s heads explode at will is a genuinely terrifying superpower to have, but what makes Victoria even more formidable is that she is clearly making major moves and poses a serious threat to anyone who crosses her.
Ryan Butcher
Ryan is a kid who has barely scratched the surface of what he can do, and if his biological father is any indication, he’s going to be one of the most powerful supes in the world.
But, he’s still just a kid, so as of now he isn’t quite at the top of the superhuman heap like Homelander is.
Kimiko Miyashiro
Obviously out of all of the supes who are not and have never been a part of the Seven, Kimiko Miyashiro is the coolest.
Not only is her power of regeneration so powerful that she can seemingly come back from the dead, but she’s also a genuine badass who has an axe to grind with Vought and is bringing the fight to them.
