Rubie's Women's The Boys Starlight Deluxe Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

Adaptational Sexuality: At first, it's left unclear if she's a closeted lesbian or bisexual as she dated Homelander (in terms of Homelander, it was to keep her public image acceptable) and dated a civilian woman before, even though she is only involved with men in the comic. Homelander outs her in Season 2, on national TV no less. Elena also clarifies that she's bisexual. Season 3 also shows her having sex with Billy Butcher and having a string of casual lovers of both men and women. Extreme Omnisexual: Humans and maritime life, and if he can have a ménage-a-trois with both, even better. Cruel and Unusual Death: What Homelander did to him wasn't pretty. One of his legs is severed from the thigh down and his face is completely caved in with his jaw visibly hanging off what's left of his head. Dirty Coward: All of them except Starlight and, to a lesser extent, Maeve are this. They're extremely haughty and cruel to non-powered people or less poweful supes but when they face a genuine threat, they flee in terror.

Annie has said she believes her relationship with Hughie is "more precious than gold", and she intends to quit the Seven and move out. Despite this, #39–43 shows that she is terrified he will reject her if he finds out what she did to get into the Seven. This proves to be true, as Hughie flees when she reveals her true identity in Issue #45. [3] Spared by the Adaptation: She ultimately survives her Heroic Sacrifice in the show. The same can't be said for her comic counterpart. Dating What Daddy Hates: According to him, his grandmother didn't approve of him dating Starlight because of interracial reasons. Traveling at the Speed of Plot: A really egregious example in Season 2. He gets news at roughly the same time as the rest of the Seven that the Boys are harboring a Supe terrorist in the Atlantic Ocean and manages to find them first. The issue? He was over 700 km (about 430 miles) away in Sandusky, Ohio while the Seven were right by the coast in New York City, yet not only did he somehow cross that vast distance in an instant and outpace Homelander and A-Train but had the extra time to go around and find some local marine animals to do his bidding (although it might be possible that he was actually at the Church of the Collective, which could have a location near a coastline, or taken advantage of the city's location on Lake Erie to get to Buffalo and take the Erie Canal to the Hudson, though that would be a challenge for someone of his limited intellect).Earn Your Happy Ending: After all the crap she goes through, she gets to settle down with Elena and live a quiet life. Doom Magnet: Sea creatures have a tendency to suffer horrible deaths when he's around, several them because he was trying to save them in the first place. As Starlight, Annie January possesses the ability to manipulate and draw power from nearby sources of electricity to generate, project and emanate blasts of energy and a blinding light from her hands. She has been shown to also possess a degree of super strength, the ability to withstand impact, even from ballistic weaponry, and she might possess a degree of super hearing.

Adaptation Name Change: An in-universe rename, as he appears in season 3 having been rebranded as Supersonic. Invisible Streaker: His clothes are unaffected by his powers, so he has to be completely naked to be undetectable. Cruel Mercy: After the fact came to light that The Deep had sexually assaulted Starlight, and countless other women, he's spared any jail time, and is still a member of The Seven. However, he's exiled from New York City and assigned to patrol Sandusky, Ohio, a peaceful and relatively crime free town, and given a meager daily allowance. His main tasks are to attend local business openings and roller coaster inaugurations as well as put up with whatever vitriol the locals throw at him. When the military allows supes to volunteer, The Deep asks his handler how soon can he can join the Navy and get out of Sandusky, only to be told that for the time being, he's not allowed to go anywhere else.

Cast of Expies: Most of the main superhero characters' abilities and costumes are very similar to those of famous established comic book superheroes. Slave to PR: Everybody in the Seven is surrounded by Vought executives, who try to script their every word and tailor every little thing towards marketing the superheroes at the expense of, y'know, actually fighting crime. Homelander, Superman Substitute, but as a straight-up villain. Unlike Superman, Homelander was Raised in a Lab, without loving parents to provide him with any moral fiber. He also has shades of Captain America with the patriotic aspects twisted for nefarious purposes. Season 1: Translucent gets killed off and the Deep is removed after his sexual assault of multiple women comes to light.
