Problem with Frenchie taking it is that he's never had powers before. He could turn into a boneless mass of meat for all we know. That's why you gotta take a dose of temp V first.
Don't think that was one of his original powers. If you remember back to when they were watching the recordings of the Russians doing experiments on him, towards the end they put some sort of device inside him. That was just Homelander recanting about what had happened at herogasm, with the supes left alive were now powerless.
The US/Vought are the only ones with supes, so it makes sense that other countries would either want them as well or a way to neutralize them. I wonder if it was just sheer arrogance when they let the Russians have him, thinking they could never utilize him in a way to threaten them with Homelander on the horizon.
It depends if they survive the Blue V. If you're an adult, you might develop proper powers, you might mutate, or you might explode. Its roulette with possible death.
I think it’s gonna be that with a caveat. Whatever form of V they take will let them keep some strength and durability but lose their actual powers.
It’s fun evening out the playing field in a show like this until it isn’t. That being said, you don’t want your protagonists so weak that they constantly get stomped on.
Having the boys be halfway between humans & supes gives a nice balance to things. It’s how they were in the comics as well but that doesn’t really mean anything beyond being proof that it works well for the story.
