The Boys: 10 WORST Powers

4. Enhanced Accuracy With A Bow & Arrow - Eagle The Archer

Well, Eagle The Archer, you only went and did it; you took Gunpowder's lame power and made it even lamer. No wonder you ended up joining The Church of the Collective.

So, this entry essentially captures all the same elements as Gunpowder but swaps firearms out with a bow and arrow, which only makes it worse. Eagle The Archer acts as The Boys' tongue-in-cheek jab at Marvel's Hawkeye (and maybe a little Green Arrow tossed in for good measure). But, while the MCU likes to ignore the logical downsides of being a real-life Legolas, The Boys doesn't.

Simply put, it doesn't matter how good you are with a bow; your quiver will run dry eventually. There aren't enough arrows in the world to keep you stocked, and there's no way you could carry enough around with you. Eagle even references this in his tragic backstory for joining The Church of the Collective, as he tells the story of the time he ran out of arrows whilst battling multiple shooters.

It doesn't matter how great your aim is if you've got limited inventory space.
