[The Boys] What is the use of Lamp Lighter

Looking over the original 7 all if them have a particular purpose

A-Train- Mobility unmatched ability to cover a massive swath of ground and collect information as well as deliver and receive critical goods


Homelander and Maeve- Brute tanks. They can break into any criminal stronghold


The Deep- Able to get info on illegal shipping and water based crimes


Translucense- The worlds greatest wiretap


That Batman dude- Useful for quieter ops the public doesnt need to know about


Where does Lamp Lighter fit in? What is the relevance of using a flame thrower against crime? We could do that now if we wanted to.

Well the 7 tend to take care of crime in the most brute force way possible from what ive seen. So having a guy who can set you on fire with a thought would act as a huge deterrent. being killed by homelander laser eyes or exploded by a-train is bad enough but its instant. Dying while being on fire hurts the whole time its killing you so is more or a deterrent to encourage surrender.

Watching Gary explode you don't have time to register that with all the adrenaline. Watching Gary burn to death screaming the whole time its happening that registers much more.
