My only issue with Starlight's powers is that the writers seem to forget that she has the run-of-the-mill super strength and durability that all supes get. I don't expect her to be as strong as Homelander. But there's no reason why Hughie can hold his own against Homelander and she can't

soldier boy is literally the tankiest character in all of the boys, 0 contest. even homelader couldnt leave a scratch on him after ganging up with butcher. and starlight at full power not only managed to knock him back, but also made him bleed. if that attack hit anyone else they would either have been vaporised all really fatally wounded. i doubt even homelander would have been okay after getting hit by that.

[@iamchristiancraig]

Also her flight is inconsistent bc they show her barely floating in their office but she flew up to CATCH two people and actually caught Frenchie in S4 e1. Then later on she flies all the way to the starlighter riot situation only struggling to land. Like is it 33 secs or she can fly over a city?💀

[@allwise3608]

Her powers are cool she's super stronge and she can burn your eyes out and she absorbs energy which is all over the cizilived world

[@Eezylon]

I think the flight is a lil bit of everything. Firstly the need to practice directly affects the power grid n people I mean her training for 3 hours is draining would drain so much power .so for one it’s hard to practice.2 in the time of crisis a mf gotta do what they can 😂 so being able to get fly up that fast isn’t inconsistent she couldn’t move fast enough to catch them both.3rd I think is just visual affects at the end of the day she’s on two wires there’s only so much “janky” flying she can do now the landing that’s the actor that gotta make it look real. Look at any home lander flight scene for instance him flying back down after checking the vent is s4e3 he’s so clearly on wires

[@magnum567134]

I wouldn't call that inconsistent. In the fight with Soldier Boy, it seemed like it was a new ability that she didn't know how to use yet. When she tried to save Frenchie and Kimiko, it wasn't clean at all, and she dropped Kimiko. Her flying to the rally is probably the easiest time she's had, but she wasn't saving anyone while she was in the air. It was just point A to point B. Even so, if she couldn't land, it means she's still learning. I think the show's demonstrating that there's a learning curve and it wasn't something that she was instantly gonna know how to use

[@xxjayxx5668]

Count the time she flew over the building it’s not inconsistent

[@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord]

So you literally mention her practicing and learning how to fly then surprised when she was able to improve? This is real mental gymnastics to convince yourself not to like someone.

[@ManofSteel4889]

Her powers don’t suck, she sucks at using them. Remember, they don’t fight Supervillains so she never had to push herself. If anything her physical prowess is behind other heroes because lack of proper training to push herself. Like, what happens when she absorbs the power of a Nuclear reactor? Would she able to fire beams of energy? We don’t know and never would because shes not willing to try either.

[@joeluchiha]

Her powers are based on electricity not energy like nuclear power

[@0nepotential]

Your thinking about starlight’s potential abilities as if she was an anime character. The superhero powers on The Boys are more grounded and don’t scale much with training, only their proficiency. They probably get a slight boost in power if they take more compound v but that can lead to side effects.

[@seanhorrigan677]

I mean that kind of makes sense, starlight is young as opposed to Homelander and maeve who no longer has powers. I think she could easily whoop the deep but he is more of a comedy relief hero most of the time. The show showed maeve training often and in the first episode starlight was training. Now she mostly just hangs out with the guys, maybe if she trained more often she'd even be as good as maeve was. Then again it's a show, so it'll probably just continue to do whatever.

[@Navaneeth-hv9sh]

​​​@@0nepotentialtraining isn't whats happening here,the op just worded it badly.what's actually happening here is creatively using ones powers in a particular way.maybe dragging a fight to a place that benefits you in a particular way. Basic example but you get the point. she doesn't need to train to absorb faster or some shit like that just finding a way to use your ability more than what its base application implies. We know training doesn't particularly make you stronger in this show.half she reason maev even lasted as long as she even did against homelander is because of her superior combat and tactics.

[@ManofSteel4889]

@@0nepotential Thats incorrect as shown with candid conversations between Lamplighter and A-Train, their powers manifest and improve. Thats pretty much how everything works, so it is possible that someone else, with the same powers but motivation to use them for something other than fame or fortune would have a completely different power output than her. Think of the same situation in the show/comic Invincible. By your argument Mark should never be able to take on anyone stronger than him because there is no way he can get stronger......except the way EVERYONE has gotten stronger since the beginning of time....practice.

A lot of the mutation is portrayed as random so they have to assess and market each “hero”. She’s still sellable as a face and since they’re not fighting supervillains, it doesn’t really matter if she’s up to Homelander’s or anyone else’s standard. She’s a beautiful broken toy. She doesn’t absorb ambient electricity…she drains the entire block in a SEMI controlled quick drain. With very little return. You think her blasts hurt after that?

[@kiddpaddle8503]

Yeah plus if she did absorb electricity, she would be blowing up the power source and not the screens and lightbulbs themselves.

[@LjCast-b6q]

It obviously doesn’t have to be bouncing off her considering she was able to gather electricity from a building. She wasn’t even inside of.

[@LjCast-b6q]

I do agree with her absorbing photoelectric energy I don’t think it needs to bounce off her considering she absorbed the energy from a building. She wasn’t even in.

[@ArcherInTraining2]

She doesn't absorb photoelectric her powers are photoelectric based. She interacts with the radiation created by electrical sources such as light. Her physical being has qualities that allows her to take that radiation and push it back out this is why it's usually light but if she interacted with a different form of radiation caused by a different type of electrical source then theoretically her powers should look like that form of radiation. If she wear to face a nuke and be ready for it her body may be able to redirect that radiation and in theory the energy of the bomb as well. If lightning were to strike her she should be able to get a massive power boost from it and only sustain the burns from the plasma and again she may be able to redirect the plasma as well. Sadly in the boys universe these heroes are just celebrities they are not meant to know the true extent of their abilities so they are never truly put to the test like soldier boy was even homelander has never really been tested. But anyways yeah that's basically how her powers should work if they truly are photoelectric.

[@agent95_]

She durable, near impenetrable and can punch through a brick wall with enough tries. I think the issue in this universe is something that Power's touched on. No one here trains their powers to be useful. That's why she's a grown woman' and only recently learning to do more than hover. Same with Homelander, he almost lost to Soldier boy and butcher and Huey when he got pinned down. Homelander didn't know how to land a plan with all his abilities because he doesn't know how to use his own propulsion as if he were standing. I think her abilities can be much better than they are if she understood them more.

I think thats why they have her training in the, gives them the opportunity to workshop her powers and its canon.

Like unlike other conic book shows they're always their biggest issue, not an outside supervillain. Like eveb half their saves are just shows that were rehearsed.

[@Navaneeth-hv9sh]

A nuclear reactor that can generate electricity is something so op that it will eclipse the power scaling of the entire show.she could have city levels power on her hand if she just tried to do this It's almost unfathomable that she could destroy an entire city if she just sat down and opened a text book.it's actually kind of funny

[@MrChupacabra555]

One thing: I don't see why they didn't goad Stormfront into hitting Starlight with her powers. Starlight gains power from the electricity running through power lines while in a city, right? Unless that is a specific limitation ("Only from man made items"), then ANY source of electricity should work, so they missed the chance to give her a real Power Boost and show what she can really do when fully powered up.

[@Blerdcalibur]

Why have I never noticed that Stormfront could have supercharged Starlight. Maybe that's why once Maeve and Starlight showed up she stopped throwing around the lightning because she was wary that might happen but you're right that would of been an awesome power boost

[@r.s6187]

I hope that they are ramping up to her developing her powers. In her defense, Starlight is genuinely stronger than many other supes. She's bulletproof whereas not all supes are. Same with her strength. Her powers are nowhere near as "lame" as someone like a Mesmer. Even Sister Sage is vulnerable to a gunshot. It can literally kill her if not a headshot. And from a storytelling standpoint, Starlight can't be too powerful. It makes sense that a lot of her adversaries (Soldier Boy, Stormfront, Homelander, Neuman, A-Train in season 1) are stronger than her. Otherwise she'd just kick their asses and be done with it. Starlight accidentally blinded someone when she was young, so it is possible she's never truly reached her full potential with her powers and has been subconsciously holding herself back due to fear of hurting others and guilt. I hope that once her powers stop malfunctioning, she learns to use them to their full potential.

I remember when people thought Starlight was gonna beat Stormfront because she would just absorb her power. Even in the new season they mention that they think she auto loses Neuman before she could even get the chance to blind her which should also just make her a counter against a person who needs their eyes for their powers to work. Starlight greatest weakness is definitely she can’t retain the energy. She uses it and loses it. If Starlight was an anime character she would be absolutely busted EVEN IF she was underpowered.

"Go ahead and start shootin that up baby girl" IM CRYING 😭😭 8:08

[@ashleyvirgosflame21]

It's giving baby steps, she's charging up like godzilla. She training and leveling up like an avatar 😂 but seriously starlight wants to be a normal person so theres that conflict, she also wants to learn how to control her power too but not be starlight at the same time. My thing with starlight learning because her powers aren't making consistent sense atp is when will she be at her peak? It's only 1 more season left after 4. The writers better figure this sht out and quickly.😩👀

[@SolanersRevengee]

did she not just power up at the end of the season..

[@AlexDrewsumin]

I think shes way more durable and strong than people are considering Her fight w the shapeshifter showed that her strength, durability, and speed outweigh kimiko by a land slide. Also, considering she learned how to fly this season id take that sd a sign that her pwoers are still growing. Wed be naive to think she just unlocked flying and thats it. So i think that prewriting for the powerup is obviously in play.

[@SolanersRevengee]

They want Superman leveled characters to fight homelander in an epic battle so they can spend the rest of their days jerking off to it lol. No one actually cares for the story of these shows anymore, they just want straight action or someone getting killed every 5 seconds so the most we can do is sit knowing her character has been through all she’s been through for a reason.

[@5Ci0N]

In season 1, it's said she can blind people but literally never does.

[@CE77777]

After that finale something tells me that her powers aren’t trash anymore

[@SolanersRevengee]

They never were trash, just weak because she barely used them and when she did it was in the basic way she knew how.

[@wJermell0]

Her powers are so wildly inconsistent. Like in a city she should be like top 10 most dangerous supes but even before the whole stress related power dysfunction of this season she just hasn't performed that well.

[@-hu1fc]

her powers make sense and could foreshadow her potential strength, we may have never even seen her 100 percent. for 1, when she absorbs a minor amount of power and knocks out a PowerGrid it could imply she has a large cap like a big battery she needs high wattage cause her powers are so potent aka it could be the starlight needs a wayyyy bigger power source to use her real powers. (supported in the studio when she says "i didnt know i could do that" after huey amped her up. she never had a power source big enough to let her use that much/also she just might have a short range for absorbtion and when she flys around the city she pulls from each building)

I'm a lil stuck on the beginning of this vid. So because wolverines claws hurt, out of ALL the mutants on xmen, we're willing to put up with the inconvenience of our eyes being portals to the 50th circle of hell? Lmao. You fall asleep and (assuming you even have the glasses cyclops has) if your glasses fall off and your eyes open SLIGHTLY we finna go viral 😂 Professor X or Jean Grey would probably have the most realistically convenient powers out of the xmen. And if you don't care about your looks, nightcrawler would be even better.

[@8Exceed]

At this point is it really a surprise? Aside from Soldier Boy are any of the Supes that really that impressive?

[@controlman7490]

A-Train's powers are extremely powerful. We saw what he did to Blue Hawk who is another supe. Turned him into Roadkill. He also overpowered Kimiko and nearly knocked her out, so A-Train is definitely powerful. Hell, if it weren't for his fear he would put up a good fight against Homelander. If Butcher and even Hughie could land a punch on him then A-Train could hit Homelander literally a million times in like 1 minute. And speed build's up energy. He runs fast enough he could definitely bypass Homelander's durability as well. Not to mention, being able to cover all of New York City in 30 seconds is insane.

Starlight's powers are more than meets the eye. Her lets call "staple" V gifts (Durability, Strength, Stamina etc.) While far from say Homelander and Stormfront, she is still vastly higher than the majority of Supes in The Boys' Universe. For her unique ability I think its more accurate to say - Starlight sucks at using her own powers.

Starlight charged to the max, levitated off the ground, and just Soldier Boy point blank with a max charged blast. It only stunned him for a few seconds after knocking him back a few feet.

[@_General_Grievous__]

Nah her powers don’t “kind of suck” they straight up are just ass compared to most other powers. The only redeeming factor of her powers is that they don’t actively hinder her in anyway like have acid breath or something😂

[@hordegaming4771]

I'm still struggling to understand what she can actually do, like does she fire intense light or electrical blasts or electrocute people like what are her powers exactly? Also yeah, if you're charged via electricity then being in a major city would be like a psyker in 40K literally going into the warp! You know the place that gives them their psychic abilities! Be like when Iron Man gets hit with Thors lightning 😂😂 remember?

[@LjCast-b6q]

Think a like energy force she’s kind of just blasting people with force that releases bright light in the process

0:47 I prefer storms power personally

[@icey8228]

in season 1 episode 1 she makes it a point that she can blind people with her powers. ..Then she just never blinds anyone ever. That would make her more OP if she could actually blind someone. I love her character but I hate how they underpower her

[@briandaleske5139]

I think in (THE BOYS) show series, StarLight’s powers should develop an increase, due to something she got exposed to somewhere. In addition I suggest that StarLight, should develop electrical flight-power ability, and electrical teleportation ability. I also suggest that StarLight, develops another ability, and that is to be able to create an electrical force-field. Plus to add I suggest that, StarLight of the show, should develop a mega bright flash-blast power.

[@SolanersRevengee]

5:41 she literally did this with stormfront, blinded her so meave and kimiko could get the upper hand. She’s had some moments of technicality. I personally just believe she’s inexperienced and so young that she doesn’t understand herself fully compared to nearly everyone else who’s had YEARS to figure themselves out. Now that she’s done with her identity crisis I feel like she’s finally going to discover her true strength.

[@morijinsbrother]

I been thinking that Starlight was trash. Honestly, i think Soldier boy is a much more compelling hero. Starlight's blasts don't even burn the person, they're just concussive blasts. A-Train whos barely faster than the speed of sound was able bully her, and even at 100% she wasn't able yo do any meaningful damage. Hell, Hughie on temp V was better, that teleportation with enhanced speed and strength was useful. Honestly, Starlight is more of a mascot, or a political figure than someone with real power. She'd be better of just blinding the person and then beating them up. She has mild super strength after all

[@M0RN1N6_5T4R]

[@Alex-hu9uc]

Jubilee NO DIFFS starlight

[@redsoxu571]

You basically said it: she needs to be more tactical and better figure out her powers, rather than the powers themselves being the problem. Easy superpower storytelling rule: rather than have a hero full use his powers from the start and then need to have power evolution to ramp things up (which can involve ass pulls), flesh out the max powers ahead of time but have the hero imperfect at using them. Then you have a built-in line of progress that can be used for dramatic purposes. With one season left after this one, it's a safe assumption that the show is planning on giving us peak Starlight powers by the series finale, and the sometimes annoying imperfect use of them now will be paid off then. If they do it right - and if they're not flying by the seat of their pants!

[@barbazzfoo]

You know those dusty ass old phones with battery % dropping WHILE plugged into a charger? Yeah, that's Starlight

[@thetrickster6371]

Yeah, her powers are pretty lame.

[@soupseer]

Her powers have so much potential to be so cool, she needs a huge buff

[@omnipotent8773]

They might not need a boost. She might be like a swollen phone battery and is releasing energy inefficiently as she absorbs it. That's probably why she pulls it from other sources, sparks fly, but she's barely powered. She's leaking it somehow. So she might need to control better

[@roosebold8575]

It’s a budget thing. Producers/show runners can only do so much with they money their given. They should sparse out showings of her abilities so it’s more consistent.

[@LjCast-b6q]

Then just make the flashes bigger and make it to where people fly back farther

[@SolanersRevengee]

⁠@@LjCast-b6qthen she would literally appear strong as hell when the whole point of the past 3 seasons has been that she’s a joke of the seven who feels out of place. Regardless of what they do people are always going to cry about strength balancing so it’s a lost cause honestly.

[@LjCast-b6q]

@@SolanersRevengee the problem is that she’s shown to be powerful in the first few episodes and it’s straight up stated that she accidentally blinded somebody as a little girl makes no sense right now her blast barely even hurt

[@SolanersRevengee]

@@LjCast-b6q I think you’re forgetting her blasts aren’t just brute blasts, they’re also insanely bright which is kinda literally in her name. Her blinding someone at a young age was never intentional, she was literally a kid with little to no control over how to use her powers. She was not even that strong the first couple episodes they mainly showed her training but she never had no really strong introduction like nueman etc.

[@LjCast-b6q]

@@SolanersRevengee no I’m talking about how she was able to benchpress a car without seeming to be under much stress and yet she hasn’t shown that much strength pretty much ever since, and yes, her blast are very powerful considering they’ve been able to kill people on accident

I completely agree, she needs a buff or she needs to just let Homelander rip her in half. Her powers are so sorry. They could make it to where she can absorb the electromagnetic spectrum to fly and be granted a boost to give her enhanced strength and super speed to her base.

I would love to see her pull a Goku, where she practices staying Super Starlight all day and actually ends up getting higher forms due to that. Right now, she reminds me of Johnny from the movie Misfits of Science. She can't do squash without getting a charge first. If the show keeps her there, they're are ignoring the fact that electrical current is all around us. She should be able to use that to her advamtage.
