Homelander was pissed. This was the guy that was replacing The Deep? Sure, The Deep was pathetic, but this new guy was too much like a combination of most of the members of The Seven. Enhanced strength, like him, Maeve and Noir. Enhanced durability, like him, Maeve and Noir. Lightly enhanced speed. His backstory was entirely absurd, too. A warrior crawled straight out of hell from his holy crusade to defend humanity? At least the people would eat it up. A few things were worrying him, though. Mainly the fact that he wasn't tagged, meaning that he was one of the supes he had created to be a villain. It didn't matter now. He had to introduce The Hellwalker to the world.
"Citizens of the United States of America!" He shouted out, "I would like to introduce to you, the newest member of the Seven!"
He heard footsteps from atop the tower. The man himself was about to drop in.
"He's strong, he's tough, he's fast, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome-"
Flynn landed, just a few feet to his right.
"- The Hellwalker!"
The crowd cheered. They hadn't cheered this much during his debut… Had they? No. Something was off. Why were they cheering so much? He shook his hand. He'd have to look into it later.
