In the in the TV series the main characters don't have powers. I can't see how this works not very impressive being able to stop super humans when you're regular humans. Anybody familiar with the comic who's seen the TV series can explain how this works or if it works.
Batman has been doing it for a few decades. Check out here (starting at about 1:30) for one example that's a pretty good capture of the comic book sequence.
The Winchesters have been doing this for decades as well :D
Yeah I get it I just couldn't see given the universe I guess I need to learn more about the nature of the super humans. Right now I'm not seeing how a regular person can just shoot one of them dead but I'm guessing with different abilities comes different weaknesses.
We don't know enough about, say, Homelander, to know if he's Superman-level invulnerable or not. Most of the Supes don't seem that super-powerful: you've got an amphibian, an invisible guy, whatever Black Noir does (yeah, I know what he is in the comics), a superspeed guy, a stretching guy, a fairly-strong light-projecting woman, and a shrinking guy. None of them seem bulletproof. Only Homelander and Queen Maeve seem really super-duper.
So I could see the Boys defeating most of them easily. You've got trained soldiers versus relative amateurs. Yeah, there's a power imbalance. But folks like Batman, Hawkeye, and Black Widow have been dealing with Supes in the movies, TV, and comics. Half the fun is watching normals outsmart Supes.

Translucent's skin is also bulletproof and overall indestructible :) And Starlight survived two in the chest just fine. On the other hand Maeve did broke every bone in her right hand once, so she's very tough, but not invulnerable. I suppose Homelander also have his Kryptonite of sorts.

The general idea being that super-heroes could be defeated even if they couldn't be killed. For that reason every super-human usually being given some weakness, so the drama could be built around it. It won't be much fun to watch a guy who is 102% invincible, not for a long time at least.
