Sleep Inducement and Resistance for some characters (The Boys)

Soldier Boy currently has a resistance to Poison listed on his profile, which is accurate. However, it lists his immunity to halothane there like a toxin, when Halothane is a general anesthestic, so it should be more accurately listed as Sleep Manipulation (also, characters in the verse that used Halothane have it listed as Sleep Manipulation).

Also, Black Noir once use a grenade with a gas that instantly knocked everyone out, probably a similar anesthestic or something like. So he should have Sleep Manipulation with that. But we saw that neither him nor Starlight were at all affected by this gas. Now, it could be that maybe the gas was made to only target normal humans, but since we don't know the specifics of it, maybe could they both get a "possibly" resistance to sleep?
 
This confuses me, isnt this the same as status inducement? What is the difference? Or does both apply? For me this would just be poison manipulation not sleep manipulation because they are using a gas. For me this seems redundant.

Halothane is an anesthetic, not a toxin, so it shouldn't be considered under poison manipulation in the first place. Second, Soldier Boy directly grabs a gas grenade containing that and inhales it like nothing, when it was shown in other instances to quickly put others to sleep. Sure is not traditional sleep, but it would fall under that category.

Now, Idk what Noir's gas has exactly, but making someone fall unconscious fits more with Sleep Manipulation, specially since Status Effect Inducement is such a wide term.
