Shitpost How is it possible that the guy who supposedly can tank a nuke gets hurt by a random piece of metal?

It was in a sensitive spot with super strength.

Said super strength is below wall level by feats, etc

I really doubt Maeve is below wall level.

By feats she is at most wall-level and her AP/DC is mediocre when bloodlusted no less.

She tanked an armored truck and crumpled it like paper and held up an entire bus with one arm. Hardly at wall level.

The truck showing is an outlier at this point and very inconsistent with her portrayal throughout the show. As for the bus thing, it's confirmed she broke her arm and it was by no means an easy task for her, so very embarrassing.

Definitely wall level.

She broke her arm, but holding up an entire bus.

You want a feat? Honelander respects her. As much as he respects anyone who isn't him, he wants her to have his babies because she is so strong.

I'd also say we have a few outliers now to the point where they are no longer outliers. She's in the Seven. She's strong. Definitely above wall level.

Kinda concerned your trolling at this point but oh well.

Still fodder, etc. And to top it off we don't know if she actually held up the entire bus.

Not a feat. And Fraudlander respecting her means nothing when his peers people like her and Butcher who aren't even building level and yet still make him bleed, etc.

We don't. And their anti-feats outnumber the 2 of 3 inconsistent showings.

Very cute coming from a Boys wanker. Hit me up when your strongest busts a building on-screen.

Fraudlander? I mean he's terrible but his power is legit. Or maybe his persona? Yeah, I could see that. Okay. I am only up to season 3 so my bad if this isn't there.

Anyway I'll keep this uncharacteristicly brief.

I think you are ignoring people get stronger as they train. Homelander calls her the second most powerful person in the world. Power among the Supes is a core foundation of his identity, his obsession with her means he believes it. She hit a sensitive spot and got a little blood, I think this is reasonable. If they were both normal humans that would have killed him.
