Ok so let me be clear, I don't think anyone scales to Homelander proper, but there is a lot of evidence to suggest that a majority of The Boys characters deserve an 8A upgrade, courtesy of a reasonable downscaling from the Main Supe C*nt himself.
Lets go through them one by one:
Stormfront
Lets go through them one by one:
Stormfront
- Repeatedly look Homelander's laser beam attack to the chest for a prolonged period of time (Homelander even states that the attack would cut in her in half, and at this point in the story had no reason to hold back due to his hatred for her). Attack did injure her yes, but being able to withstand it for sometime suggests a reliable 8A downscale, since Laser Beams > Homelander's physical strength.
- Required the combined might of 3 supers to overwhelm when 2 wasn't enough.
- Nothing in the story contradicts this tiering despite the latters defeat.
- Rebecca Butcher did stab her eyes - but this is more to do with her eyes being a weakpoint than anyone else
- Ryan overwhelmed Stormfront, but it has been stated that his powers are potentially stronger than his dads, and is shown in season 2 with his laser vision oneshotting stormfront when his dad's couldn't.
- Considered reliable by Homelander (though statement is unclear)
- Was dangerous enough that even though Season 2 Queen Maeve could restrain him, she relied on exploiting his tree nut allergy to do so.
- Would later go on to restrain and overwhelm Season 3 Queen Maeve, who has gotten much stronger since then and is also 8A.
- Could restrain Black Noir in Season 2.
- Could reliably injure and draw blood from Stormfront, who could withstand Homelander's Heat Vision.
- HAHAHAHA no
- Was able to withstand Homelander's Heat Vision in Season 4, though it is implied he can alter the intensity of the laser, and the attack was never meant to kill in the first place.
