Rebecca Anne "Annie" Campbell (née January), known by the superhero name Starlight, is a fictional superheroine in the comic book series The Boys, created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.

As Starlight, she is a member of the Seven, a group of superheroes funded by Vought-American (Vought International in the television franchise), and the love interest of Hughie Campbell.

Eventually, the death and destruction she witnesses pushes her to quit her job at Vought and join the Boys alongside Hughie, where they both serve as the moral center of the group.

In #32, Annie violently rejects a new, even more revealing costume and makeover and a new, fictional origin of being a rape victim foisted on her by Vought-American's marketing department.

The Seven's attempt to change her mind results in a staredown with Black Noir, with Annie only being saved by Queen Maeve's surprise intervention.

[4] As a child, Annie's mother Donna (Ann Cusack) agreed to allow Vought to infuse her with Compound V after birth, but raised her to believe that her powers were a gift from God.

Annie was raised a conservative Christian in a hyper-religious environment, an upbringing that continues to influence her, and attended superhero pageants as part of her mother's efforts to groom her as a candidate for membership in the Seven.

After attending a Capes for Christ event, she begins questioning its approach to faith when she witnesses inherent homophobia, religious intolerance and too much focus on opposition to premarital sex, eventually revealing the Deep's sexual assault on live television.

The first episode of the season depicts Annie as Starlight singing "Never Truly Vanish" at Translucent's televised funeral, with Erin Moriarty providing her own vocals for the recording.

[6] While not personally appearing in The Boys Presents: Diabolical, imagery of Annie January / Starlight is used in promotional marketing produced by Vought International in the anthology series.

After Homelander has Black Noir hide away Maeve, and Soldier Boy kills or severely injures most of the attendants at Herogasm whilst taking revenge against the TNT Twins, Annie makes an Instagram post with MM's help intended to ruin the public images of Homelander and Vought, alert the public of Soldier Boy's return, and retiring from her Starlight persona saying: "I'm not Starlight anymore.

She later infiltrates Seven Tower to obtain Compound V for Kimiko, where she manages to trick Homelander into confessing to Supersonic's murder on an Instagram livestream, and also discovers that Temp-V will cause brain lesions and ultimately death after three to five doses.

After Butcher knocks Hughie unconscious and abandons him in a gas station bathroom, Annie picks him up, at which point he apologizes to her for not knowing what strength was and gives her permission to cathartically yell "I told you so" at him.

Whilst fighting Soldier Boy at Seven Tower, Annie demonstrates a hitherto unknown ability to fly after Hughie turns up several studio lights to help her.

Firecracker publicly broadcasts Annie's private sensitive information, such as when she accidentally blinded a hostage during her early hero days and that she had an abortion.

This incites Annie and violently beats Firecracker on live television, soiling her reputation and public image and results in the collapse of Starlight House.

Whilst being lambasted by her mother for having an abortion, she reveals that Hughie fished her Starlight costume out of the trash in case she ever wanted to reassume her Supe identity.

Having the ability to read people's minds, Shifter taunts Annie by having sex with and proposing to Hughie, for believing herself to be a blameless "main character in [her] own story".
