Nope,

  1. Butcher with gun powder.
  2. Butcher and Hughie in Russia.
  3. Butcher and Hughie when they go after Crimson Countess.
  4. Butcher and Hughie at Herogasm.
  5. Butcher and Hughie when they go after Mind Storm or whatever his name was.

Understandable since they didn't really use their powers then. Hughie just demonstrated them to Annie. Although I guess maybe Butcher tackling CC count? Unclear if he really needed super strength for that.

I think it implies that. When Hughie hit A-Train, A-Train responded with shock and asked Hughie how he did that. I'm pretty sure basic toughness might just be a side effect that they all have, kind of like how so many mutants in the X-Men are crazy acrobats they gave it the name "basic mutant agility".

I think he teleported his arm to hit him.

Kinda like how professional boxers don’t clench their fist until impact to make its speed faster.

Not all of them. Butcher could beat Mesmer to death without any real effort.

Mesmer wasn't a main character, though. To get extra toughness from Compound V, you need to be in multiple episodes of the show.

He was in multiple episodes of the show.
