Starlight might have been my favorite character of the entire first season of The Boys.
Now Amazon just has to release more episodes for us!
Even before the series released on Amazon I was pretty hyped for it so we featured a handful of the celebrities from the show on SHJ.
We saw Karl Urban who plays Billy Butcher, Chace Crawford who plays The Deep, and Jennifer Esposito who plays Agent Susan Raynor.
And it seems we may have to have Erin Moriarty (who stars as Starlight), right?
But now after seeing the show I know it’s absolutely time to see some of the character’s and feature some of the workouts around them.
Starting with Billy Butcher and Starlight!
No spoilers here, but I think the pair is a perfect starting point for us to dive into this fandom.
Starlight Stats:
Height: N/A (Moriarty = 5’6)
Weight: N/A (Moriarty = 110 lbs)
Real Name: Billy Butcher
Powers: Yes
Like Butcher, I couldn’t find any official listing for Starlight’s comic-seen-height.
So, we’ll stick to using the celeb casting’s stats; which is Erin Moriarty.
Supergirl and Erza Scarlet were our shortest at 5’5 before Wasp came in at 5’4 and Kale, Anna and Nina Williams matching her there. BUT, now we have Caulifla at 4’8 and Sailor Moon at 4’11! Katana is just behind her at 5’2.
We had Wonder Woman come in standing 6’0 tall, Mockingbird and Hawkgirl at 5’9, Mystique, Miss Martian, and Sonya Blade at 5’10, and Storm 5’11.
But the average height for female celebrities on the site is generally more-so ranging from 5’4-5’6 – and our Black Widow is just above that at 5’7 with Spider-Gwen, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy at 5’8.
And, the tallest we’d seen before She-Hulk was Starfire at 6’4!
But don’t worry, either way.
Not only are these routines for all shapes and sizes – they also work for both men and women – regardless of the gender of the hero!

Starlight Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hellboy may get something specifically different)**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Starlight Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
This is where I get to break down the “how” and “why” of the workout we’re going to build based on the characters, in this case Starlight’s, powers and/or abilities.
And for this one I’m actually going to be talking about some powers and abilities that are specific to The Boys Amazon Series.
Her Comic Vine lists her comic-known-powers as:
- Agility
- Flight
- Light Projection
- Super Hearing
But her new Wiki Fandom for The Boys Series has some more to say:
- Electricity Absorption: Annie is able to absorb the electricity from around her to fuel her powers.
- Energy Attacks: She is able to fire blasts of light from her hands which are capable of throwing grown men.
- Bioluminescence: She is also able to make her eyes and hands glow on command.
- Enhanced Strength: Annie has enhanced strength which allows her to punch holes into brick walls, lift the backs of car, and overwhelm her opponents.
- Enhanced Durability: Annie has enhanced durability which allowed her to take two high caliber bullets to the chest. While she felt great pain and bled a bit from the bullets, they did not go through her body.
We definitely saw this enhanced strength and durability in the show.
Which is good, because I’m not going to be able to teach you how to train for the electricity absorption and energy attacks that Starlight is most known for.
Instead we’ll be focusing on her strength, agility, and even flight; which we’ll change to explosiveness in our legs.
I’m sure the ladies out there won’t mind some extra leg and glute training.
We also have to keep in mind that their may be some people looking to cosplay as Starlight.
For that reason I’m going to also be building this routine for others that would like to get into the character’s physique (both in the show and comics).
I’ll be combining the intensity of the character, while also dialing it down ever so slightly and focusing in on the aesthetic for you guys.
You think you’re ready?

Starlight Workout
Training Volume:
4 days per week
Explanation:
For this one we’re going to be training four days per week. We’ll have an upper and lower body split. You’ll be doing two different variations of each, so the beginning of the week will be A Splits, and the latter half of the week will be B Splits. If you’d like to add in extra activity and cardio to burn the calories a little more and really slim down like Starlight and Erin Moriarty, that’s more than okay. I’ll list some extra activity suggestions at the end of our splits.
