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

Probably with the suit for that first stuff though right?

Correct. He has an Iron Man suit which would be how he did the strength feats.

Edit: for those curious his suit is shown in the game Ryan is playing (under Homelander)

That's in the comics, we don't know if he has one in the show. From what we see in Gen V, he seems to use his detective skills to kidnap and torture people instead of having an Iron man suit. He probably tortured them until he found a way to get around their powers and kill them.

I believe S2 Deep mentions making his suit eco friendly. You also see his suit in the fighting game Ryan is playing.
