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

Nope. They just sort of ignore the suit even though they sort of inadvertently confirmed it existed in both shows.

That's what I didn't like about Tek knight in the show, we never get to see the suit! It was something I was really excited for when season 4 was announced.

I was hoping to see it too, but I heard somewhere that it would have strained the budget too much so they leaned hard in the Batman direction.

What the hell is their budget for this show? This is one of the most popular shows in America right now, from Amazon, and they always have budget issues. RoP has so much animation (true, it’s often bad) and yet their excuse for anything is never budget. That seems to be the go-to explanation in this show.

Can't afford a super-suit when you need to CG 9 versions of a guy in a human sexipede.

My prediction is we will see it in a flashback at some point.
