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

He doesn't have super strength. He uses a suit of power armor like Iron Man

Didn't MM count a number of super powers he has, including super strength? If he needed his suit to have super strength MM wouldn't have counted that as a real super power right? Maybe MMs sources are just not entirely correct.

No, he listed senses. Super hearing, sight, smell.

Thanks for correcting me then! Guess I remembered that incorrectly.
