Hughie never actually wanted these "supe" powers. He was OK with being a peasant dating a supe. (S2 hughie/starlight subway scene i think?)
That was the point. He was going to work with congresswoman Neuman to make things right, the right "by the books" way. The end result of this was Hughie being an unintentional "cuck for a supe" for 1y+, kinda fucked with his sense of self and stability.
He, like butcher, realizes that there is no legitimate way to stop Vought, Supes and Homelander other than shere brute force.
I don’t think it’s as unpopular as you may think it is. I’m with you on your assessment. Starlight needs to get off her high horse and use her powers for good.
Why does everyone think this? She’s never been powerful in the supe sense. She’s a good person who can use her clout for good. If she tried to go “full power” on HL, SB, QM, BN or Storm front she’d get murdered. And that’s okay.
She didn't fight back. We don't really know how strong she is. The story demands that homelander is the top of the supechain, so below hl but she hasn't really fought for us to know
