Butcher Takes Compound V For The First Time | The Boys 

What superpower would you love to have?

Ironically, this makes it look like Homelander did it.

“It don’t change what you are” This line gives us a glimpse of a comic-accurate Butcher and his hatred towards supes.

gunpower shot exactly where his heart was. thats precise asf

Butcher with Homelanders powers is WAY more scary.

Giving an average person Compound V makes them incredibly strong. So I love how this scene shows that when someone like Butcher gets it, he pretty much becomes another Homelander. Although he’s probably still weaker than him since this is Temporary V.

He has a lot of loyalty for Soulja Boy

All of the supes in this series have advanced strength, generally around the same level, all are bulletproof and whatever, pop claw was squatting like 9 plates for reps and they said this season the max bench is 5 tons I think? So there’s a lot of variance but butcher is obviously on the high end for strength, gunpowder wasn’t even close.

When you realise Billy butcher is ex sas and with compound v giving him superpowers is like well trained home lander

Love that if you rank ordered every human on the planet that the supes wouldn't want to have powers, Butcher would be at the very top. He ends up getting powers that allow him to easily overpower other powerful, well trained supes like Gunpowder. Ha

I kinda like the idea that whatever power V gives you is the kind of power you want deep down. For Hughie, it's having the ability to get people he cares about to safety. For Butcher, it's having Homelander's powers.

I love how in the show both butcher and homelander make it look like using the laser eyes isn’t effortless. It takes effort and is even a little bit painful. It’s a cool detail that gives the show a realistic take on superheros

So did Butcher pretest his superpowers before facing Gunpowder? Because it would be very awkward if bulletproof wasn't one of them.

I still love this series, but find it ironic Billy seems to have gotten the exact same powers as Homelander

0:42 This smile gives me chills and infinite goosebumps!

Butcher Vs Homelander is gonna be f**kin DIABOLICAL

Auto generated captions in the beginning : "Why are you protecting Soulja boy"

1:07 Butcher's expression before he punches Gunpowder 🔥

Butcher having Homelander's powers is a great way of showing that when you obsess over someone you hate so much, eventually you become like them.

Butcher without the V was scary enough.

Very much reminded me of Zod getting his powers once he landed on Earth for the first time against Kal El in MOS.

Butcher vs. A member of the Boondock Saints so awesome. His powers starting to manifest as he fought Gunpowder so crazy. What I loved about Butcher was the scene at his apartment watching the lego video Ryan made paying tribute to his mom. In that moment you can tell Butcher really that spark of light, that moment of normalcy. That was a beautiful gift Becca's son gave to Billy Butcher.

1:03 "standing here I realize"

Rewatching this after episode 7, that line "I didn't see it happen" makes so much more sense now.

1:04 Nanomachines ,son.

Now he's a real super villain with powers

The way he just ragdolls when getting shot is just too funny to me

The true victim here was that poor Challenger

The guy who plays Gunpowder could play a perfect Frank Woods.

The moment every Boys fan has been waiting for since the first season. Hopefully, they will continue this story in Season 4!

His left eye is called "Des" and his right eye is called "Troy". - Skurge the Butcher

i’m very upset that neither of them claimed that they were the law

I’m sorry but every time they say Soldier Boy I think of Soulja boy 😂😂😂

I feel so bad for gunpowder 😭

Butcher has some 'Cyclops lost his ruby goggles' issues with his eye beams

It looks like they really sliced that car in half for the shot at the end. Love when they do practical effects like that.

I liked the explanation somebody gave that compound V gives the power based on the person itself and is not a random power up nor is it interchangeable, is like an stats based power up (which is true now that they have shown them use it twice and get the same ability), So Butcher getting similar powers to Homelander shows that the only thing he seeks is revenge and needs to be equal to him to beat him while somebody like M.M could possibly get something similar but also a medicinal related power because of his background and nature, Hughie makes sense having teletransportation powers since through all the series hes done the most infiltration while also tryng to run away from everything

bro the subtitles in the beginning say “why are you protecting soulja boy” 💀

Is really poetic Butcher developed Homelander's signature go to power, kinda representing that both of them are actually the same

Butcher is so badass with his powers

I hope Sean Patrick Flanery will one day make Boondock Saints III. I'm glad that he was able to draw attention to himself again with a small role in The Boys.

I’m very curious to find out how far they’ve actually gotten with the experimental serum. Like, was what Butcher took supposed to give those specific powers, or was it random?

Where’s Omni Man when you need him

That's diabolical

I like that his eye laser is orange

Btw, if you think about it, the actor probably looked super funny with his eyes open without lads CGi

I have no idea why but Butcher's lazer eyes seem to be kind of hurting him too? Maybe he's just not very used to them that's why I feel like that.

Go Super Butcher Go!

1:03 “standing here, i realize that your just like me trying to make history”

When you become the thing you hated the most

This is the moment butcher became heisenlander

In an alternate universe Gunpowder tried to save Soulja Boy.

What's Gunpowder's superpower anyway? 100% precision with those guns?

I hope in season 4 Butcher uses Compound V (blue) and get permanent powers instead

His power comes from trauma. Just like Homelander. Homelander looked up to solider boy. Similarly Butcher looks up to Homelander. Not the same way. But the same way. V formula amplifies these trauma/emotion/need. The need to be powerful.

Butcher wasn't a whole lot stronger, and didn't use his laser vision until after he won... But he had the experience from fighting people as strong as him, knew where to get hit and hit in return.

So what exactly was gunpowders super power? Kinda seems like a human with a lot of guns

the thing about temp v is that it doesnt change who you are, but infects your brain regardless, temp v gives powers to people based on their personality, butchers so filled up with revenge against homelander that the v gave him the abilities of him, hughie got the ability to teleport, most of the time he feels trapped and just wants to leave.

I love how Gunpowder is based on Judge Dredd and he’s getting beat up by the real Dredd

Idk why, but I like the way laser beams in this universe doesn't instantly cauterize the injury

it's interesting how everyone gets a different power according to their nature. people like homelander, soldier boy, butcher get superior ones while hughie gets a power to just get away from situations just like he always wants to get away from his problems.

Funny how similar Butch and Homelanders powers are when compound V is in them.

"For the first time" so... he gonna do this multiple times.

Imagine the poor man who found his car cut in half

In this scene, Butcher became similar as the two men he hates the most : Homelander and his father.

This scene was badass lol temp V was such a great addition to the show

He's becoming general sod with the orange lasers and all

Butcher : "Why are you protecting Soldier Boy?" The subtitles : "Why are you protecting Soulja Boy?"

What a coincidence he got the same powers as homelander

I loved how painful they made heat vision for someone using it for the first time How unpredictable and very high recoil? For lack of a better word Like its a high strain if you're not used to it

I like that sound of beating

I love the shade of orange his lasers are

Yeah buddy. As if he'd give you a second chance when you shot him 3 times in the chest.

Ngl I kinda feel bad for Gunpowder as he was abused

"Why are you protecting Soulja boy" The captions don't lie

em, the gunbreak is only possible if BOTH are strong enough....

The one who hates the sup so much finally becomes one

He could be a great Zod

Butcher is absolutely terrifying with Homelander's powers.

Absolutely diabolical.

How did the alarm not go off on that challenger?

Another wasted character first was Lamplighter and now Gunpowder.

I haven't gotten to season 3 yet. But from what I've seen, it seems that when Butcher takes the temporary V he gets only two of the powers that Homelander has. Resistance to any damage (supposedly) And laser eyes. But he can't fly, he can't see through walls and he doesn't have enhanced hearing.

Hes become the thing he hates the most, Homelander

Am I the only one who felt kinda bad for Gunpowder? I thought he’d have more screen-time

THE CAPTIONS "Why are you protecting soulja boy?"

Rip cameraman for that last laser scene 😢

[Add the power to fly, and you unlock Homebutcher skin in the game!]

This scene shows pretty well the main idea of The Boys, that anyone with powers like that will use them for bad eventually.

Sign me up if compound V ever becomes a thing xD

0:47 that man is strong too, to keep deagle in his hands and let it break xd

I was bummed out he didnt take him on as a human

Bullets didn’t work. But maybe my hands will!

I have a feeling this William fella might have a bit of an anger issue, I sure do hope he manages to work through it with the help of friends and family, maybe a wife or brother!

0:45 When you been hitting the gym and run into the guy who bullied you in high school

Buther looks so badass,I love him

"Why are you protecting Soulja boy"

1:04 that could have being a strong meme potential of “standing here I realise” if it punch him longer

"Mr. Powder" 🤣🤣🤣

1:06 Karl's face
