He/Him- 1,336

Hello.
The idea behind this CRT is to:
His strength also likely dimished, as he was defeated rather easily by Deep. And yeah, even jokes aside, Deep definitely ain't as strong as his peers, with him being clearly afraid of Starlight.
This is what downgrades Temp-V Hughie too. While he did hurt him, Hughie's enraged punch didn't cause any serious damage to A-Train and, speaking of Starlight, he was easily defeated by her, with Annie very likely not even going all-out. And he was likely incapacitated for a while, as Annie was able to go back to the Herogasm house, get MM out, then Butcher woke up, fought Homelander and just after he was getting overpowered by Homelander did Hughie arrived. Even if one were to argue he purposely waited for Annie to get out, he took way too long.
As for his feat of pushing Homelander, my suggestion is to either take it as an outlier, or scaling it to a comparable feat, with the example of Maeve not being pushed byan speeding truck back in Season 1, when she was far weaker than Homelander, so Hughie should be at least superior to that truck.
Going back to A-Train, here I made a sandbox for how I intend on his profile to look like.
As for the misc stuff, they are some tweaks and additions to certain profiles.
And I think that's about it with the changes for the characters' profiles. If anyone has another suggestion to add we can discuss it.
The idea behind this CRT is to:
- Add a second key on A-Train's profile and divide his feats with and without Compound V
- Downgrade Temp-V Hughie to simply 9-B
- Other Miscellaneous changes

- Soldier Boy: add resistance to fire and/or heat manipulation (As he can withstand oxy-acetylene flame, which burns at 3500°C with no damage). Also add a resistance to acid (Butcher stated that he was given "sulfuric acid cocktails"), and a minor resistance to mind manipulation (While Mindstorm's powers do still affect him, and SB is clearly uneasy when trying to capture him, SB clearly does have a minor resistance to Mindstorm's powers, since they never were a truly reliable way to put him down)
And we should better clarify that his Power Nullification works because it burns off the Compound V in the supes' system. So, while an argument can be made of say, he removing the powers out of Captain America by burning the Super Soldier serum for example, he can't simply fire off and erase powers out of everyone.
Edit: for SB:
Limited Light Manipulation for Soldier Boy (His powers produce light. Seems trivial, but Sharigan users and Super Saiyans get it for glowing in the dark, so.)
Supernatural Willpower (He overcame the effects of Novichok, despite it being capable of knocking him out, because he didn't wanted to be captured again) - Preparation and Explosion/Smoke Manipulation for Mindstorm (As he set up traps close to his house and even put up explosives, and generated a lot of smoke)
- Regeneration [Low] for Starlight (As she healed from this in about a day).
I was considering if she should get Social Influencing (For example, She managed to talk down an angry Homelander that was about to kill her for disobeying orders. She also was shown to be really good at manipulating others, mostly through blackmailing though. And she has an immense fanbase, with a lot of them standing on her side even with Vought making her look like a criminal)
Edit: Also for her:
Status Effect Inducement (Blindness. Stated that her powers could blind someone if they look at her)
Limited Healing and Temperature Manipulation/Heat Generation (Can use her powers to cauterize injuries. Seemingly melted a hole into a metal fence) - Mention that Homelander's, Butcher's and likely Ryan's heat vision can burn Soldier Boy, who, as mentioned, can resist intense heat without injury.
- Basing this on profiles like The Incredibles' and Yang's, I was thinking that Maeve could get durability upgrade for ther S1-2 costume. Scaling her bracelets to City Block level by withstanding Homelander's vision without damage (this would of course be mentioned on her S3 key, but the point is that since her costume is the same, it should have the same properties), and (with the same logic) scale her costume to Building level+ from receiving no damage from Soldier Boy's explosion (granted, is an attack from a 8-B character, but just to play it safe since the explosion itself was calced at that level).
And maybe give her heat resistance due to taking an explosion point-blank? Idk how hot his explosions are, but they can leave burning traces and vaporize bodies. - Fire resistance for Translucent, as Frenchie stated that his remains couldn't be burned.
And I think that's about it with the changes for the characters' profiles. If anyone has another suggestion to add we can discuss it.
