As the OP mentioned, they are from the Blade Runner franchise. They possess inhuman strength and damage soak, as shown in this video:
As for the OP, I feel like the Replicants were more impressive as a whole. It feels like only specific individual hosts have shown comparable mental capacity to Replicants.
On further reflection, I am having second thoughts. Because Hosts mainly have previously mentioned mental limitations because people program them that way. But it's actually shown that if you crank everything up to the max, they can even do things like hack and control other hosts. And, much like Replicants, they are physically superior to humans.

I think there can definitely be arguments made for both here, as they have different areas where they outshine each other. From an intellectual standpoint, I feel like Hosts have more raw potential. But, as you said, Hosts haven't shown the ability to reproduce in that manner.
Respect for making me more conflicted on a thread result than most lol.
I am addicted to both franchises. Its very interesting how they managed to make humans in blade runner, but they are 100% organic but enhanced with long life, speed, and intelligence and finally able to create life.
Scott also said that on some occasions that Dekard was a replicant, not human as well. So that just adds to the intrigue.
