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

Product Information

Take Homelander (Antony Starr). With his dark-blue bodysuit, red boots, and U.S.-flag cape — not to mention his superstrength and his ability to fly and to shoot lasers out of his eyes — he’s obviously meant to stand in for a certain son of Krypton, only darker, both literally and figuratively. Indeed, as the show has stressed over and over, Homelander is little more than a craven narcissist. He’s all too happy to let a plane full of passengers fall to their death when he botches their rescue, he turns a blind eye to the sexual-assault allegations against one of his own, he intimidates women in power into doing his bidding, and he eventually creates “Super Terrorists” to make sure foreign threats force Congress’s hand to sign him and Vought into a military contract to keep America great and safe again. The red, white, and blue color combo of his suit is less inviting than Superman’s, evoking instead a guarded rigidity that feels, quite aptly, militaristic. You Go, Girl!: Vought makes sure to market how there are three female members on The Seven by Season 2, coining the slogan "Girls Get it Done."

Driven to Suicide: Immolates himself in the Seven conference room. He intended to do it in front of his statue, but finds they've already replaced it with Starlight's. The Hedonist: He spends the day smoking and watching porn parodies with a reluctant and disgusted Hughie. Weaksauce Weakness: His gills. Getting "gill-punched" by A-Train once is enough for Deep to double over in pain. The Beastmaster: Just like Aquaman, he can command sea creatures. Unlike Aquaman, he's absolutely terrible at using them sensibly. Annie has frequently shown signs of changing, with aggressive outbursts, losing her faith, using profanities, and drinking alcohol. She shows some concern that she is becoming more like the rest of the Seven, coming to realize that even Homelander once shared her idealism. Butcher has footage of her induction into the Seven, and in issue #39, he discovers Annie's and Hughie's relationship.Defector from Decadence: When Compound V's existence is leaked to the press, Elena suggests that this is a chance for her to leave the world of superheroes behind. Former Child Star: After his pop-stardom as Drummer Boy, he supposedly fell victim to the typical pitfalls of teen celebrities. Rebranding himself as Supersonic is at least partly a way for him to make a clean break with his past.

The Ghost: There's a glimpse ◊ of him in a Dawn of the Seven storyboard and the movie's poster, as well as mentions from Ashley and Lamplighter, but he doesn't appear in-person. Pet the Dog: She's the kindest of the Seven to Starlight and genuinely wants to save people even though her experiences have left her jaded. Dating What Daddy Hates: According to him, his grandmother didn't approve of him dating Starlight because of interracial reasons. Unintentional Period Piece: In-universe, his Boy Band's main hit is riffed with references to celebrity couples of the time that have broken up since. To make it worse, the lyrics reference the singer's crush being 16, so he cannot sing it in the modern day without sounding creepy.

Supersonic / Drummer Boy / Alex

In the comic series, she also has the ability to fly and she is generally athletic as well as being a trained gymnast. Her light energy bursts are capable of blinding even super-powered beings. [a] Development [ edit ] Erin Moriarty's portrayal of Annie January / Starlight has been lauded by Saturn Awards. Expy: Of The Flash. A speedster with a lightning-themed costume. His status as a Superior Successor to A-Train specifically makes him possibly this to Wally West, the third and most powerful incarnation of the Flash. Limited Wardrobe: Most of The Seven are rarely seen in civilian attire, and will go from publicity events to private corporate meetings wearing the same thing. Homelander in particular (barring dropping his pants for sex) is always seen in full costume, even mentioning he hasn't bothered with a Secret Identity in years. Starlight regularly drops the look and goes out in public as just Annie, but even still tends to wear white or off-white that matches her hero costume.

Death Faked for You: After being hit by Soldier Boy's blast in the Season 3 finale, she goes missing and Vought declares her dead, with Ashley erasing the only recording proving her survival and rescue by the Boys. Ryan, Danielle (12 November 2021). " The Boys Roasts Disney With A 'Vought+ Day' Video". /Film . Retrieved 12 November 2021. Would Hurt a Child: He murdered Mallory's grandchildren when she and Billy got too close to Vought's secrets. He wouldn't have done it if he knew that they were there. Brought to You by the Letter "S": The image that we briefly see of his design gives him a costume with the letter "M" at the center of it. Horrible Judge of Character: Trusts A-Train with the plan, believing that the disgraced speedster may be willing to make a Heel–Face Turn. Instead, A-Train rats him out to Homelander, leading to his death.An Arm and a Leg: His corpse is missing an arm, and his right leg has been torn off his body with the other visibly damaged. Too Dumb to Live: You'd have to be a certain type of arrogant idiot to brag about what your superpower is and how it works, making it possible to exploit its logical weaknesses, which is made even worse by the fact Translucent does this in-front of people who have the fullest intention to kill him. Also; thinking you can manipulate an emotionally unstable man, who just developed a strong hatred of you personally and Supes in general, and is possession of a trigger for a bomb up your asslu, is probably the surest way you can end up as a visceral modern art piece across the wall.

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. For Shannon, the Deep’s overall look was a joy to design — not least because it turned on its head decades-long ideas about how to dream up costumes for male superheroes. For those of us who relish seeing Crawford in such a tight-fitting outfit ( which The Boys’ marketing department artfully exploited), there’s no missing how it’s a costume that demands you ogle its wearer: When he’s seen from behind, the design of his pants actually accentuates his ass. Shannon was all too delighted to talk about such a cheeky detail. Even Evil Has Standards: He is willing to burn Sage Grove's subjects alive and was intending on killing Mallory in the past, but he draws the line at harming minors. He hesitates killing a patient who is only a teenager, and he honestly regrets the burning of Mallory's grandkids. Sexual Karma: Unlike Hughie, The Deep's sex life is never portrayed a good light. He has a history of forcing women to give him oral sex for being their hero and when he's finally punished for his actions, he's the one who gets sexually abused when a woman refuses to stop putting her fingers in his gills, despite telling her how painful the act is to him. In Season 2 he is in an Arranged Marriage with a clingy wife that is bad at giving oral sex according to him. His tryst with an octopus is the one time he's ever shown having consensual sex. It was important to Kripke that we create a legitimate superhero universe,” the show’s costume designer, Laura Jean Shannon, tells Vulture. “We have other cinematic superhero universes that have been in existence for generations. But he wanted us to create a cinematic universe with our suits that could really play with the big boys. Like, it had to be legit. It wasn’t a joke.”Artifact Title: Ever since Translucent gets killed, they have a harder and harder time maintaining their numbers at seven. And every time a new member is added, they get killed or at least "retired". Eventually the team struggles to even have six members at a given time. By the end of Season 3, they only have three members left.
