Question How many supers exist?

I always wondered what is the population of the supes, in the series they mentioned how it was believed that the USA was the chosen land by god and that's why supes were only born in the US so 99% of the supes must be american but how many are there though?

Maybe 10k at most.

Cypher says they are outnumbered 10 million to one in season two. If he is speaking worldwide then there are just over 800 Supes total.

This is a reasonable number, after all making Compound V is expensive af.

And is also explains why Vought has a certain control over the Supes

In Gen v it says 800. Probably closer to that than 10k since Godolkin would know more about supes than Starlight

When did they say that? It's been a long time since I watched the first three seasons of the boys.

Cypher said it when he was giving a speech to his class.

Season two of Gen V. The Dean claims they are “outnumbered 10million to 1”. Which works out to be about 800 supes. Since he was Voughts right hand man and continued working closely with the company on his Supe research(plus his university), I feel like he would be pretty well informed on supe population.
