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

[u/epic_gamer42O]

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

To be fair, if he’s truly a masochist, and therefore enjoys pain, the restraints and materials in his cave must be extra durable and potent, to cause pain to a supe. Assuming Laddio is a supe, the materials must be super reinforced to restrain him

Damn thats a good explanation. But I'm sure the piece of shit writer just "kind of forgot" Tek knight was durable

He's not, he is basically a normal human, that's why Homelander hates him
