Starlight supposed to be the real hero...


She's the worst character. A Mary Sue they pretend isn't a Mary Sue. Everything that happens with her is so predictable. Played by a generic CW-quality actress.

And her relationship with that dweeb is a bore to the extreme.

I wouldn't call her a Mary Sue. She went down on Deep so she's definitely flawed. She also got her butt kicked by A-Train and is terrified of Homelander, so she's not the most powerful.

I wouldn't call her flawed because she gives blowjobs, that's a plus in my book. A note about Homelander, he alarmed when he thought she might use her powers against him which seems odd since he's not intimidated by anyone else. Or maybe he was just keeping the peace but if A-train or Deep threatened him I think he would laugh it off.
