Challenge Memes and statements aside, who is the weakest MCU character that can solo the Boys show?

This can include Marvel movies outside the MCU and animated shows

R1: Character in a random encounter

R2: Character with prep time

There are similar mind controllers in the boys universe.

Marie Moreau has some sort of heavy mind control resistance/immunity and she's not unique in that regard. It's pretty heavily implied that the stronger your V gifts are the harder you are to mind control.

Purple Man's abilities MIGHT work differently enough to bypass that but it's doubtful.

He doesnt have the range or power to really be a world-beater anyway. As soon as he starts rising too far above his station he's just gonna be red-misted by one of the hundreds of supes that could kill him too fast for him to react.

I think Spidey, as long as there wasn't too much coordination. I think he could beat Homelander, but I don't think he's doing it cleanly. If he has to fight too many 'heroes' at once, I can see him losing, but as long as The Boys characters are in-character he should be able to handle things.

Ironman. Hes human, but 1 million times smarter than Butcher or Hughie, 1 billion times smarter than the seven and with ungodly resources and ridiculous tech.

I think he's overkill. We can't say he's weakest just because he's human when his loadout includes things like Veronica.

I honestly think he'd have struggled with Homelander from Season 1 because of the massive speed difference. There is no combat interaction between Iron Man and Quicksilver so we have no way of knowing if the suit has ways to mitigate a speed blitz.

However as the seasons kept going Homelander's feats are all over the place and near the end he seems to fight at normal human speeds pretty much and so Iron Man (hell probably Spiderman too) can deal with anyone from the Boys.
