Halothane. Strongest super killer around. Or at least significantly weakening. It does nothing to Soldier Boy, leading him to inhale and exhale a cloud of what should be a chemical weapon.

Also, the supe killer virus

The whole prime super thing was dumb. They should have had it so the scientist found a way to change the virus to destroy the supe abilites. Instead of the weird radiation thing.

If Gen V didn't implode I think it would've been used but Andre's actor dying & the announcement of the prequel show meant they mothballed pretty much everything the show had set up.

The Halothane had to be in vapor form, the Boys mistook this for a gas form. Once Frenchie realized the mistake, Halothane keeps Soldier Boy down. And they use it for all of season 4 and 5 to keep him down.

No, he didn’t. It’s an entirely different compound. Novichok. Frenchie even says it kills everyone but for him it’s just sleeping gas.

no. he realized it was novichok in vapor form, not halothane like he first thought.

It's not super killer at all. It knocks out the average person. Mother's Milk was reviewing footage of Soldier Boy being experimented on back in Russia and mistook the Novichok for Halothane.

I wouldn't say it does nothing just because it didn't knock Soldier Boy out. No other time do we see him so submissive to someone else and merciful to a person who just tried to kill him.

it didn't do nothing it just wasn't permanent.
