The Boys: Ranking All The Main Characters Worst To Best
2. Starlight
Starlight is the light of the show, both literally and figuratively. Naive and genuine, her only dream as a child was to grow up and join the Seven, but like many dreams she quickly learned you should be careful what you wish for. Assaulted by The Deep, threatened by Homelander, atteacked by A-Train and treated with sly disdain by Queen Maeve, Starlight went through a lot in a short period of time, but managed to keep her heroic side intact.
Not only does she find out her powers were made in a lab, she also renounces her faith and falls for the one guy who was conspiring to take down her new teammates. Her relationship with Hughie made it clearer than ever that Starlight was the real deal, a genuine hero the show needed and deserved.
Despite all the hardships surrounding her, Starlight has yet to lose her spark. In fact, with each new confrontation she's actually growing stronger and more confident, and it's a joy to see. Without her, the show really would have slipped into complete hopelessness by now, but with her, there's still a chance the good guys are going to get a happy ending.
