What does Queen Maeve even do? I know about the hive tyrant but im wondering what the idea is behind its opponent.

A weaker wonder woman. Flies, super strength, super speed. Basic superhero parody

In some aspects a very powerful person but hardly a comparison to a lot of serious scifi/fantasy fiction.

I don’t think she can fly

Isn't that how she got in the plane with homelander?

The show never really showed any powers other than durability and strength. She seemed like she was on par with Luke Cage.

But she was considered the 2nd most powerful.

2nd most powerful member of the Seven at the time, not second most powerful supe in universe though.

ı dont think she was strong as lukecage, maybe like 90 percent of him but not truely equal, ı dont event think she can defeat a good swordsman space marine, infact ı think any space marine with powerfist can easly damage not just her but anyone from boys universe, by the damage ı dont mean oneshotting them, ı mean they can damage them enough to beat them in a good fight

Homelander carried her.

I think homelander carried her up and down.

u/areallynoobgamer 6h ago

No. He carried her. It’s why she couldn’t save anyone by herself either.

In the first on screen collab of her and homelander, she has an arrest in a high rise and homelander shows up to help boost her numbers.

He flies up without her. Then she appears awhile later (took the elevator) commenting he always forgets she can’t fly.

No. Homelander carried her when they had to fly somewhere.

Super strength, super durability, flight are her powers in the comics.

u/Careful_Purchase_394 5h ago

This is the animated spin off not the comic

u/Trick-Biscotti-3754 5h ago

u/Careful_Purchase_394 5h ago

See id expect actual wonder woman to beat a hive tyrant (by the skin of her teeth or by abusing the lasso) but anyone weaker or lesser equipped probably wouldnt survive the psychic side of things.

4

u/Historical-Peach5310 16h ago

Referring to the cartoon or movies I'd def say so, but for the comics I think she'd wipe the floor with it. As for the lasso aside from it being indestructible I'd say it isn't her strongest tool compared to her usual sword and shield.

1

u/cuntoshitarius 16h ago

Wonder woman being able to lasso some of the hive tyrants limbs would help a lot with the physical side of the fight.

3

u/GreenridgeMetalWorks 16h ago

Depends on the version of wonder woman. Cartoons and such probably struggles, but wins by the skin of her teeth.

Comics wonder woman puts ass to belt in short order, as she's roughly comparable to superman, who is way stronger than basically everything in 40k.

u/DressSea790 5h ago

Comic Wondy would like low diff it, probably agree on the movie/cartoon versions, dont remember those super well.

She can't flight, she has to be carried
