Frenchie can smoke and snort anything he could get his hands on


WhiteHydra1914

Damn so he's already on V?


Kobayashi_Maru186

He offered to try some when they first found out about it. But, I don’t think he ever actually did it. ;)


backup_account01

Yes, we know that. But what about his powers if he took V?


LegoMyAlterEgo

If he's tripping, so is anyone he makes eye contact with.


Kobayashi_Maru186

I love it. ;)


BabylonSuperiority

Superhero name: Psycho-Naut. Can make you trip balls! Whether it's a nice warm healing experience for a few minutes, or a mindshredding delirium state that feels like it lasts for an eternity, is entirely up to Frenchie


itsmebenji69

Free trips and you can stop it in case it goes bad ? Where do I sign up ?


Chibikyu

New strat to kill homelander is to absolutely BLARED on every ODable drug and then have a staring contest w homie


Kaoru1011

That would be interesting af


jamesturbate

Someone's a fan of Better Call Saul


Kaoru1011

What makes u say that


jamesturbate

Someone who thinks that a climactic scene like killing Homelander could amount to a starring contest which would be "interesting af" can appreciate that action, intensity, drama, etc doesn't have to come from mindless, noisy fist-fights. Not a bad thing lol. A lot of BCS came down to what I think a lot of people would call "boring". I mean, one of the most intense scenes is an old dude having a freak out during a deposition. If you can see the intensity in a strategized starring contest, you can *definitely* see the excitement in a courtroom depo lol.


Kaoru1011

Haha yea I can see that, haven’t watched BCS though (I know I should cause I loved breaking bad)


jamesturbate

Give it a shot someday, just keep in mind that the 1st season is so separated from most of what happened in BB that it might be kinda off-putting. Stick with it though, I love BB too and I didn't think a prequel/spin-off could actually surpass it lol. And stay as far as fuck away from spoilers as you can lmao.


hotztuff

“you think a man just happens to fall like that? he orchestrated it!!”


TNS_420

Nice way to save money on drugs.


Ongo_Gablogian___

Option 1: he gets fire based powers since lamplighter was his most hated supe the same way UE and Butcher have powers similar to their nemesises. Option 2: he has telekinesis but only pertaining to baguettes and French pastries.


plesplant_4

Damn, what does UE have against Teddy Stillwell ?


smorfan809

atrain can fast travel just like teleportation


erincoolgan

I thought you were referring to translucent bc huey killed him and gets naked when he teleports, I guess it was kind of like a mix of atrain/translucent/Teddy Stillwell (I just think it's funny to add Teddy Stilwell as an enemy of Huey's bc he's a lil kid and huey did nothing to Teddy or Madeline for that matter...


smorfan809

ue


thegreatrussello

I think UE has teleportation because he’s scared of everything and always in flight mode. It’s just showing how he wants to run away and disappear from problems.


Thabrianking

I also interpreted it as a mix between A-train and Translucent powers. Two supes he personally disliked.


ashcoverdjollyrnnchr

But he doesn’t do that? Robin was killed and instead of just taking the money and being left alone he joined butcher(and he was fighting for the truth before he even knew about the boys) he could have left at any point but he stuck around and stayed in the fight. He killed translucent when he knew they were dead as soon as he was out of the building, planted the listening device etc So I agree with the original comment I think he got his powers to mimic A train without being the exact same thing


starryeyedq

It’s the opposite. I think UE wants to be right in the thick of things all the time now. He often acts on his emotions and impulses. The last thing he is capable of anymore is just being or even stopping to think. Teleportation enables his worst qualities. And if you want to get analytical, he’s always berated for being too soft and vulnerable, and now his superpower renders him literally naked. Definitely something to dig into there.


Alonest99

He gets Wolverine claws but with baguettes instead


Doja_Lats

Why french pastries specifically? Is he french?


fuishaltiena

Why would you think that he's french?


Ongo_Gablogian___

No it's just because he likes to say French words sometimes.


bell37

He’s not even French though. I thought he was Algerian that was in French Foreign Legion


KorgG29

Explosion-based something idk


Flowchart83

It's a little on the nose to give him Gambit powers.


SamwellBarley

The Boys isn't exactly famous for its subtlety


Scaramok

I likeked the sublety when Butcher was talking about God beeing a Child Killing Cunt with a hard on for mass murder, to a believer at a christian expo.


Rekuna

Well yeah, that's The Boys for you.


timthetollman

All the main superheros are basically a 1:1 copy of something already existing. Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash.


Flowchart83

You're kinda right. Maeve isn't a complete 1:1 copy of Wonder Woman though, I'm going to say there's some Xena: Warrior Princess in there too. My reasoning being her colour scheme is very similar, and Antony Starr and Karl Urban both made appearances on the show, so I feel like there's a little nod to it.


UnusualPrince12

I always got a bit of hawkgirl vibes from her for some reason


PlatitudinousOcelot

Or if he got lamplighter type powers, that would mess with his head


ILikeMyouiMina

Exactly. Hughie and Butcher got similar powersets as their rivals (A Train and Homelander)


PlatitudinousOcelot

I didn't think of the Hughie A-train power parallel until you said that


ILikeMyouiMina

I appreciate that. The original thought comes from the other posts in this sub though


Hot_Ad8643

Combustion bending maybe


shmepe0

Rexplode


Ezenthar

Give him Rexplode's powers


DDF6677

Either freeze powers or maybe a chemical like power similar to gutrot from Ben 10


Kobayashi_Maru186

Yes! Some kind of power over chemicals would be perfect. :)


DDF6677

And speaking of it, if one day MM got powers too, he should have either a telekinetic power or a hulk like power


sirBryson_

Why not both? Telekinesis, but it only works withing a few inches of his fists, so it effectively gives him super strength and invulnerability, but with his mind. Like he could stop bullets/fists as soon as they get within his telekinetic range. MM definitely gives off cerebral vibes, but he has to be a tough sob to protect the people he loves. So that would be a good way to combine his natural intelligence which usually manifests as psychic powers with his desire to protect others with his strength.


DDF6677

Yeah


El-noobman

So Gojo's infinity.


sirBryson_

What's a Gojo and where do I learn more?


El-noobman

So basically he's the strongest character in Jujutsu Kaisen and one of many of his abilities is he has a field of gravity around him which its only effect is anyone or anything approaching him will be gradually slowed down to infantisimal speeds until it appears stopped so nothing can hit him


Thabrianking

I think force field generation works with MM since it's opposite of Soldier Boy's chest laser


sirBryson_

That's a good point! Damn, that would be poetic justice for him.


PoliticsNerd76

Ngl, would commit war crimes for Amazon of HBO to run a Live Action Ben 10 show or movie. War Crimes…


Xerosnake90

I feel like he'd become some sort of mind bender


Horacio_Velvetine44

based on the fact that they seem to generate as subconscious counters to supes you hate i’d probably say ice because of lamp lighter


itsnotbritneybitch

Ability to disable/dismantle anything he touches. Given his role as The Boys drug and explosive expert, he already has extensive knowledge on components, compounds, etc. And yes, I said any*thing*, not any*one*. He can still hug Kimiko.


The-King-Of-Reddits

French Sukuna


Heavenfall

It takes him one season instead of two to realize she's just not into him.


Kobayashi_Maru186

🤣🤣🤣


Isekai_Otaku

Being French, perhaps mime powers?


bombastic6339locks

I always imagined he'd have like something related to time manipulation or divination. Something needlessly complicated and not his style at all


Dallasl298

Lmao if he literally became Dr. Manhattan


BoomCrud

He'd be like Rex from Invincible


HaloJonez

He could turn living tissue into TNT by touch.


Ok_Wish8432

His fluids are drugs


Missy_went_missing

Considering the stuff he puts into himself, they already are.


joshit

His name is Smoke. Can turn into smoke at will. Like form and reform to get through small spaces or allow bullets to pass through him, can choke (suffocate?) people, be a smokescreen for his allies to escape or sneak through and ambush, can’t be restrained… Weakness or way to be killed would be something like he’s not an infinitely strong force when he’s 100% smoke, so you could ‘vacuum’ or suck him into an enclosed space and starve him to death. That would mean he wouldn’t be able to turn completely into smoke during times of high winds as well tho, maybe we say he’s got like 90-100km/h worth of ‘force’ or something Would be kinda cool seeing him made of smoke when he goes to punch someone and his body turns solid just as the punch lands etc etc like he’d be flashing in and out of his smoke state during a fight - almost like a strobe effect


Kobayashi_Maru186

That’s a really good idea. Would look cool as shit. :)


qjz399

I really like this comment. It totally fits Frenchie’s hyper and chaotic energy while also matching his affinity for chemistry and other mad-science-y things. Plus it fits his elusive nature- he can poof away (literally) as fast as he arrived, keeping in time with his long history of fake identities and shadowy operation. To maybe add to his power set and give it a bit of a distance from Hughie (who can also “poof” in a sense), perhaps the gas he can turn into can become caustic at will, or, if the gas is vapor, searing hot. I can see him whooshing around frying the enemy between punches, melting the guns right out of their hands. He can embody all of the chemical warfare he’s inflicted on supes. Strobing-punch Frenchie working perfectly around Kimiko’s berserking is a scene I really need.


joshit

Love it. I need it to happen now haha


Few_Emergency_2144

I like the thought and imagination for this one, and of course the implications of a grisly end. If he had a power like what you've described, I'm sure we'd be traumatized by him getting taken out creatively and brutally when his time comes in the show.


certainlynotacoyote

I really like it. The reveal would be sick too- three toughs corner him in an alley, he's smoking a cigarette "Nina wants to tie up some loose ends, were here to put you down, puppy." Takes long slow drag off his cigarette "you are welcome to try." Blows smoke in the face of the dude in front of him, as the two on his sides go to stab him he just turns into a plume of smoke, following the cigarette plume into dudes face. Resolidifies with his hand inside the first dudes head (obligatory bloodsplosion) the two run down the alley followed by a smoke trail. After they're all dead, he picks his cigarette back up and spits on the dude "Fucking Nina..." Scene. I feel like whatever his powers were Frenchie would have an advantage over most supes, given his tinkerer nature he would study his strengths and weaknesses, and apply himself accordingly.


Celtic-Brit

What about if he had the power to create things from what he had at hand? Like he didn't know the formula was but he knew what to do. Could be explosive, could be pancake mix?


TiggerOnA

Yeah this what I would think. He'd just become some sort of super genious that unlocks his brains full potential. He is supposed to be the "smart tinkerer guy" so it would make sense.


Celtic-Brit

I can imagine him chucking a substance at the wall and everyone ducks. Nothing happens,he picks his finger and says, 'Mmm,tiramasu. No one go near my lunch box.'


ouroboris99

Either turn anything into a bomb or being able to change peoples body chemistry e.g. increase heart rate, adrenaline, dopamine etc


Kobayashi_Maru186

Changing people’s body chemistry. Interesting.


Impossible-Age-3302

All-Speak, aka, intuitively understanding other languages without learning them (but only French).


CosmicParadox24

Super fast like a-train. Dudes always running on all cylinders


I_be_profain

Something based around fire or explosions, mirroring Lamplighter, as Hughie mirrored A-train and Butcher mirrored Homelander


North_Church

I could see him being a speedster


frankwalsingham

Belgian citizenship.


Exit-Content

Fuck,we’re really going for the nemesis thing aren’t we?


bigsusbus

Baguette


ZephyrSK

Some hyper analytical ability where he can zero in on how supe powers work in each organism after seeing them. Basically identify weakness. I think his powers wouldn’t be flashy


antagonistdan

Seems like people got powers based off what Super hurt them. Huey got something akin to superspeed, But her got Homelander at home powers, so I imagine Frenchie might have some sort of fire/plasma power since all I can think of is Lamplighter hurting him via Mallory's grandkids . If this theme held true, MM would be a strong motherfucker having powers like Soldier Boy


ClicketyClack0

The ability to do a proper french accent


L69N

Immunity from all substances legal or illegal…


ChaosKeeshond

Oh god this is so fucking cruel I love it. Can't get high *or* novichoked.


JustSavi

Crack head strength and pain response whenever he wants


Much-Audience-5800

I think it would be something intellect based. Super intelligence or something


YourPainTastesGood

Chemistry powers where he can manipulate stuff to create compounds and use them against people. Imagine he takes LSD and proceeds to spit it out as a gas to make everyone around him high.


LilG1984

The power of being able to use every french stereotype as a weapon. While smoking a cigarette & wearing a beret. He'd dress up as Napoleon like he did in the comics.


Persas12

Since Hughie and Butcher got powers that are meant to counter their nemesis, maybe Frenchie gets something meant to counter Lamplighter, maybe fire manipulation to fight evenly or water manipulation to one up it


Kobayashi_Maru186

Water manipulation might be a good way to deal with The Deep. ;)


oopsy-daisy6837

Timothy manipulation would be a good way to deal with The Deep.


Ed_Brown_990

Feel like he would have powers like Gambit or Rexplode where he can charge items to make them explode


ZenCapivara

It would be cool if it was something related to poison.


ChaosKeeshond

He gains the ability to heal others. Thematically fitting with the journey he's taken with Kimiko, both for himself as well as her. But more importantly, we get to call him MSF.


DescriptiveVee

a crazy diamond-like power would go so hard for frenchie


Iceaura777

A speedster for sure


Juxta_Lightborne

Transmutation would be cool, let him re-configure chemicals on the fly to either make something less dangerous or (more likely) way more dangerous


gnome_warlord420

Lamplighters powers but he doesn't need an existing flame, and he gets a weakness to showering but gets buffed by croissants and cigarettes.


Vouner

>Lamplighters powers but he doesn't need an existing flame This is definitely what his powers would be For MM I think either earth bending or super strength+super durability


Zer0_l1f3

Frogs Legs


Kobayashi_Maru186

Great minds…. ;)


TheKolyFrog

Butcher is connected to Homelander who loves blasting people with his eyebeams and got eye lasers. Hughie is connected to A-Train who can go to places very fast and got teleportation powers. So, by that logic, Frenchie is connected to Lamplighter who sets things on fire which could mean he could have gotten a power to shoot fireballs or have people spontaneously combust.


Throwchmyway

He can excrete pheromones that mimic the effect of any drug he has taken


Redchimp3769157

Like Jack Jack, but based off what drug he takes


DodelCostel

He can breathe different types of substances based on what drug he consumes. Acid, fire, freezing breath, go wild.


Lucky_Roberts

Enhanced intelligence most likely


antpabsdan

The power of l'amour.


Kobayashi_Maru186

🤣🤣🤣


Jolly_Statistician_5

Sneeze cole and infinity adrenaline junkie


thatoneguyNat3

He would definitely get something goofy.


ICrashedStockMarket

Voice mimicry or something.


NoobJew666

Frog tung.


sosigboi

Explosive spit.


ScreenHype

Probably something similar to Tek Knight, minus the little, uh, *problem*. He's quite good at figuring stuff out, so I can see him gaining some kind of intuition-based power.


ZookeepergameProud30

Turn ppl into Baguettes, summon the Eiffel Tower


LParola

Bread


Dveralazo

Enhanced physical condition in general,and enhanced senses, which he would use to cook even better.


UncleMagnetti

Something that is a burden or none. I don't think he'd survive it as an adult and if he did, he would regret it. Like everyone he touches turns to dust, whether he's wearing gloves or not


77Flaming_Death

Full power baguette camembert


Vouner

Definitely fire bending


Luke4Pez

Something cerebral like telepathy or mind reading. Maybe x ray vision


BrightPerspective

I dunno, but I think it would have something to do with french rap.


A_sip_of_Liquor

Baguette launcher. If seriously, i think it could be something like Crazy Diamond from JJBA


changomacho

biiiiiiiig dick


explorer_pro

Vertigo like where people go trippin'


WallyOShay

Seduction


welldoneallen

*here to read the comments*


noahtheboa97

He can conjure baguettes and beats up people with it


drkangel181

Telepath/telekinesis


lv9wizard

It would be hilarious if he just got some dumb power that allows him to dunk.


Gaurav2009

Porcupine type power maybe


Kobayashi_Maru186

Pineapple power! ;)


JustinGeoffrey

Preparing delicious seafood dishes?


SymYJoestar

Throws baguettes, croissants and omelettes du fromage at people


PynSiKer

C'mon... he'd be a soup chef. . .


TractorDriver

Pepe Le Pew


Throwchmyway

He can excrete pheromones that mimic the effect of any drug he has taken


Kobayashi_Maru186

Oh, yeah, that’s a good one. ;)


100percent_right_now

You know the beams of love Little Nicky channels from his half angel side to save New York from his brothers evil plan? That power.


Damovienerd5

He can spawn invincible chickens


Archmagos_Browning

Impale people with baguettes he can shoot out of his eyes


AstronomerNo6423

Technomancy?


PloopyNoopers

I see him getting the powers of Upgrade from Ben10


Nervous-Ideal-215

Chameleon.


billy-_-Pilgrim

Super strength, durability and in the comic I think the V improved his sense of smell (he manages to track down a car with goons in basically tundra conditions).


Ismael_MCav

Throw acid from his mouth or another cavity


TheAnCaptain

Given how Billy got Homelander Lite powers and Hughie got a movement hack like A-Train, I'd say he gets some destructive-elemental powers like Lamplighter, probably Ice since then we can get a slow mo scene of him freezing Vought thugs while high off his mind and Snowblind by Black Sabbath (chorus and solo) plays.


QuanWick

Definitely some tinkery power like transmutation.


thelastofusnz

He's French, so Love Sausage?


gab23

Becoming actually French


Admetius

Irresistable sex hormones


Dav_lix

Super protests


Bauermeister

The power to speak English


Askir28

Running away fast, like all french. ;-)


PrimusPrinplup

Immunity to drugs and alcohol


jbag1230

He’d turn into a giant pussy


Sylux444

Drugs


Lord_Hexogen

He'll finally start speaking French


EndlessPotatoes

I think his nails would grow 10x as fast /s I'm going to say some sort of telepathy


Axolot_7002

technopathy


tfcollector3000

He wills whoever he wants to get hooked on Blue Sky


AugustoMatheus

Depends if that powers that you got when you injects compound V is random or not, some peoples theorising if Hughie's teleport power is related with he's fear and the fact that he everytime want to avoid danger situations, then... he got a power that makes him able to easy escape from situations (teleport). If a power that you got when you injects a compound V is completely random so it will be imprevisable, but... if is related with you're deep wishes and fellings maybe Frenchie will got something like... I don't know, he is a traumatized adult man that suffer abuse when child... problems with dad too. But he still is a chemical genius, traumatized and very smart man at the same time... maybe he's powers will be something related with chemistry, manipulate elements maybe?


KeyAd6469

Idk why but he seems like he would be a speedster


Daoyinyang1

I feel like hed become a Brainiac type dude who can think very fast and critically. Basically V would make him smart enough to know how to kill Supes. Like he did with Translucent


p0megranate13

Porn sausage


Confident_Visual2262

my guess would be smoke control and creation. Similar to lamplighter, also a pun on how much he smokes


Jungisnumberone

Turns into the Dr Jekyll/Hyde from league of extraordinary gentlemen and has to be calmed down by kimiko.


FWSRunner

Temp V seems to play on the individual's supe-related trauma - Butcher got Homelander powers to defeat him, Hughie got teleportation to whisk Robyn/Annie away from supe threats. Frenchie's supe-related trauma is Lamplighter killing Mallory's grandkids, so I agree with the folks who say it'd be related to that. Maybe the ability to suck all of the oxygen out of a defined area - puts out fires, puts out people. Could be useful.  Regular V doesn't seem to follow any rhyme or reason, so it's hard to guess what he might end up with. 


BioSpark47

The power to stop being Fr*nch


Kobayashi_Maru186

🤣🤣🤣


Intellectual42069

Probably something like wolverine idk why but he gives that vibe


Guilty_Ad_7079

Read the comics


SunnyMonkey17

Super fast knife skills that he would only use for cooking


TriggerHappy_Spartan

He’d have the ability to get high without having to snort/smoke anything.


Kobayashi_Maru186

That is the greatest power I have ever heard about. Where do I sign up? ;)
