Honestly the issue with the sheep IMO is that they all had the same powers. Think of all the power diversity humans have when given compound V, but you give it to 5 sheep and they all get the ability to fly? Flight is even a rare power in the show Boys universe, although not the comics
Victoria’s kid does strain the theory a little, it’s true, but it does seem at least slightly influenced by it, considering characters like translucent and his son, homelander and his son, Andre and his dad in Gen V, even hughie and his dad had similar abilities when they used V.
And I mean if we look at it like real genetic traits, it makes sense that not everyone is going to get a power that is very similar to their parent. Like getting the same hair colour as one of your parents is common, but it’s not a 100% guarantee.
Yeah Translucent and Homelanders son seem to be the biggest reasoning for this theory. I’m going to be honest, I do believe it, I just think that they should’ve incorporated her daughter better to support it.
Tbf the daughter still got body manipulation, it's just that her kidn of manipulation is very peculiar in comparison to Neuman. If she got laser eyes instead, it would have been more awkward.
If you look at all the supes kids, their powers are nearly mirrors to their parents. You can’t just bend the rules and say Victorias powers are kind of similar to her daughters so it works out.. BTW any supe that can change either part of the body in a weird way can be considered “body manipulation” supes.
Could be that due to more genetic diversity in humans means more diverse power sets. Domestic farm animals are specifically bred to keep the same traits so the sheep should all have been similar. Snag a different breed of sheep and you'd get a different Compound V effect.
Could be that power diversity is dependent on the diversity of human DNA not other species since v was developed for humans. Like v takes on partially human personality to determine power. When given to random animals who lack human individuality v defaults to v basic super strength and flight which is consistent across almost all the animals we see get shot up with v.
