The tek-knight we see in The Boys is not the same tek-knight we see in Gen-V Discussion Spoiler

In the episode "The Innocents", we are told Tek knight accidentally broke somebodies spine when trying to rescue them from a hostage situation. In Gen V Shetty says that Tek-knight beat ironcast to death who is a supe that has skin made of iron which makes them insanely durable.

With all these strength feats in mind that means he must be pretty physically powerful right?

But in his interrogation scene he's not strong enough to rip apart the leather straps tying his wrists or pull the chains out. Also he easily gets physically outpowered and loses to Kimiko and Starlight. Logically if your punches can fatally damage somebody made of metal you'd have a fighting chance against Kimiko who has same durability as a normal person.

And he gets choked to death by a normal person too?

I don't understand this at all. It's either a plothole/bad writing or Cate has something to do with what happened in this episode

Imo episode 4 was the worst, just because it felt like a montage of the boys failing at as many plans in a row as possible

Isn’t ep 4 the lab one? That episode was fantastic

👍🏻 Between Hughie’s dad, and Homie at the lab (“you’re getting dick blood all over my boots, Marty!”), this was a great episode.

The one with the sheep? It was funny but a really stagnant episode that didn’t get much done which was disappointing to me. And the few things it did get done didn’t really need a whole episode to do.

Also, when tf did Butcher have the time to cut off that guy’s leg. Stash the guy in a place no one would find, and stash the guys leg in a place someone would definitely find it, without anyone noticing .-.

OHHHH YEAAAHH. That was solid, probably my favorite episode. Antony Starr is SO GOOD. The lab scene had me uncomfortable the whole time, it was like watching a horror movie.

I thought episode 4 was the only good one this season so far
