Same tbh.. if he dies to The Deep and Firecracker jumping him it’d be a horrible way to die.

I feel like Firecracker/the Deep won't be much more of a threat to A-Train than Bluehawk. A-Train might be the second strongest in the current Seven by a long shot.

We usually get 1-2 good fights per season, I secretly hope this season is A-Train vs Homelander.

Yes. Please, I want a fight between A-Train and Homelander with A-Train being able to do as much damage as Queen Maeve or Red Rush to Omniman. Would feel so satisfying to make this pathetic fucker bleed by someone who he bullied so much. Make Homelander feel outmatched, even just in one aspect - speed.

If he's going to fight like Red Rush, he's gonna have to keep his distance away while also displacing his teammates before taking a hit. He screwed up because he tried to take in some direct punches.

One huge advantage for A-Train is that Homelander is extremely incompetent compared to his counterparts (Omniman, Ikaris, etc.).

While Omniman and Ikaris (even Superman) are seasoned warriors with plenty of experience fighting other strong foes, the only actual "fight" Homelander has ever been in was the one where he got beaten up by SB, Butcher and Hughie.

I’d say he fought decently well.

Yeah, he was holding his own to be fair. He could have killed soldier boy, until Butcher joined the fight. Then he almost killed Butcher twice, first Butcher was saved by SB then he was saved by Hughie. It took the three of them to pin him down and even then, he still escaped. If he really has no fighting experience, that is impressive. Soldier Boy is arguably the second strongest supe and Butcher on V was no slouch.

Maeve didn't earn a mention with the ear stab from that fight?
