There's little doubt that Homelander is the strongest character in the Boys. No matter how much is thrown at him, what kind of weapon they can conceive, or how many other superheroes get in his way, Homelander's power is unwavering.

Although Hughie is angry at Butcher, he soon comes to accept his powers (which are permanent) of improved strength and durability.

Frenchie and the boys hide with a gang, the (Clarkson Avenue) Haitian Kings. There, Frenchie deals with gang business and helps the Female in teaching her to write English.
Upon returning to Vought, Homelander kills Noir for withholding his knowledge of Soldier Boy being Homelander's biological father.
Starlight is the one member of The Seven who has genuinely good intentions and wants to help people. Unfortunately for her, she's not the most powerful member of the team, so she has to work with others to influence The Seven from the inside and stop her villainous co-members from committing evil.
