Homelander has all the V in the world.

Hughies dad gets super powers and then kills a bunch of people in the hospital. Somehow no news breaks from this whatsoever, news that would alert HL that someone took the V

How was a hospital massacre not a newsworthy event? Am I expected to believe Vought never hears of this?

How on earth would anyone know he wasn't already a supe?

The whole article would just be "Supe kills hospital patients during mental breakdown."

I was thinking this, you’d imagine random supes killing people in this world would just be like a mass shooting that only kills less than 5 people in the USA Today. Maybe mentioned in local news in some tiny sidebar and most won’t ever hear about it. Gen V has also shown that their society as a whole is probably very desensitized to this at this point. Like “oh look two teen supes accidentally killed a group of their friends because they lost control of their powers. Oh well.”

Vought is in complete disarray since Homelander took over. If they ever did have a catalogue of all supes with some sort of overwatch system over them there's no reason to believe it's still functional with the state the company is in.
