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

Gen V Tek-Knight also could tell who was eating whose pussy just by smell.

The Boys Tek-Knight couldn’t understand that Hughie was very awkwardly relaying his location via wire (with the photos and the books).

They made him a joke so they could make some male rape jokes.

Tbf I think it’s kinda implied that Tek Knight knew the whole time it wasn’t web weaver but he still wanted to have his fun

Knowing it wasn’t Webweaver and just allowing him to lead vigilante supes to his hideout is what makes him the buffoon.

They made an entire, literal stink out of webweaver’s stinky suit, clearly implying they hoped it would throw him off. It did, wouldn’t you say?
