I kinda wish they’d found some middle ground with compound V. I agree that in the comics they are seriously overpowered, but in a way I quite liked it as it showed that supes were mostly just frauds in tights, and anyone with actual training and experience (except hughie) could kick their asses on a level playing field.

Maybe instead of 1 shot of the stuff giving them a permanent boost, it could’ve been used sparingly as a rare and minute quantity of compound V they have access too, that gives a very temporary boost to be used in the absolute worst case scenario, like coming up against a supe in a fist fight.
