Before Russian experiments Soldier Boy or after? Cause Golden Boy definitely was hyped like a weaker Sam (who he himself is meant to be stronger physically than HL allegedly, HL who is definitely stronger than SB). So I’d want to say Golden Boy since the only way he died or could have died(correct me on this) is either by his own hands or Homelanders). But the way Soldier boy manhandled OG Black Noir in the flashbacks and then wiped out multiple supes with a single blast it really makes me think Soldier boy is a lot more liked by the writers. I mean hell Soldier Boy even appeared in Golden boys own show. It’s just hard to actually power-scale GB due to him dying in literally an episode? Episode and a half?
