The Boys: 10 WORST Powers

8. Sonic Clap - Supersonic

Here's a question; do you know what Supersonic's power is? No? Well, that's because the show didn't seem to care enough to tell you. Sure, he's got the generic traits like super strength and strong skin, but what unique ability does he bring to the table? There are some minor hints of special skills if you dig deep enough. Sadly even if you do, his powers still come across as majorly weak and not worthy of The Seven.

The only allusion to some form of special gift is given in the music video for "Rock My World", produced by the Vought music group. In this, Supersonic (known then as Drummer Boy) uses his claps to break some glass and disturb a nearby pool of water. This would imply that he can create powerful sound waves by slapping his hands together.

While the concept of a sonic clap doesn't sound too bad, it looks lame as hell and isn't shown to be particularly strong in the video. Hell, it might have even been simple VFX from Vought anyway. The ambiguity from this and his lack of defence skills against Homelander (yikes) prove that whatever power he had, it was nothing to write home about.
