The Boys: Ranking All Members Of The Seven’s Powers
5. A-Train
Speedsters are common among super hero franchises, DC has various Flashes, Marvel has Quicksilver and even Disney has Dash from The Incredibles. So A-Train's comic book inspiration isn't quite as obvious as others on this list.
Super speed is a fantastic ability to have, both offensively and defensively. You can easily dodge attacks, you can quickly knock down or even kill your opponents in super speed (that is of course assuming they themselves are not super fast) and of course you can just run away from any confrontation very easily unscathed.
He also has quite a lot of strength to his credit. He takes a big blast of Starlight’s power rays and manages to not get disintegrated.
A-Train though is clearly not in complete control of his powers, he's distracted by fame and ego. This is proven in the pilot of the show where A-Train runs straight through Hughie's girlfriend, virtually vaporising her. This is proof of how powerful super speed can be, but also how incapable the man using it is.
A-Train is a massively powerful character who could take on many members of The Seven, but sadly he doesn’t have the best brain to use them to their full potential.
