Maeve goes to MM's house. She tells Annie where she was this whole time. She admits that her #FreeMaeve campaign is what saved her in the end. A dark brown wig: If you don't have dark blonde hair, grab a wig and style it in loose waves to match Maeve's iconic hairstyle. Villain with Good Publicity: The Seven are prime examples of this. The people think they're heroes, but they're actually self-deluded narcissists who just do whatever they please no matter who they hurt (with the exception of Starlight and possibly Queen Maeve).
Always Someone Better: Rivals A-Train in speed, and while he loses their public match, it's only because A-Train was abusing Compound V to enhance his powers. Brief glimpses of his exploits in Season 2 show him improving his speed, and he eventually takes a spot on The Seven. Adaptational Attractiveness: The Deep's comic costume is an embarrassingly goofy mishmash of a cape, a vintage diving helmet, and unflattering shorts. His appearance in the show is far more in line with what you'd expect a charismatic superhero to look like.
About Queen Maeve
The Ditz: Definitely the dimmest bulb in the show, compounded by his inability to understand other people's feelings. In the beginning of Season 3 he bumps into Homelander who is obviously pissed off yet manages to say some fake platitudes in-between grinding his teeth. Rather than take this as a sign that he should run as far away as possible, the Deep instead thinks Homelander honestly likes him. Dies Differently in Adaptation: He burns himself alive in the conference room. In the comics, he was killed by Mallory as revenge for killing his grandchildren, only to be partially reanimated by the Compound V in his system.
Mythologically, Medb was known for her ruthlessness and for her promiscuity: she had to sleep with 30 men each day to be sexually satisfied. Hookers and Blow: Two of his vices are smoking and having sex. Since he knows he's going to die once he testifies at the hearing, he decides to spend his remaining time watching porn parodies of The Seven and smoking. Smoking Is Not Cool: Shown vaping or smoking occasionally in season 2, and has a cigar box laying around in her apartment. Rather than a vector of glamor or badassery, it's instead shown in scenes where her trauma or anxieties emerge, implying it's a form of Drowning My Sorrows, alongside her alcoholism. Jerkass: Most of the superheroes turn out to be this. A-Train actually jokes about killing Robin and has zero remorse (admittedly, it was accidental, but he doesn't feel bad at all, comparing it with a bug on the highway).A Friend in Need: He joins the Seven, even after Annie warns him of what it is like, to look out for Annie. Too bad he's killed off the following episode. Muscles Are Meaningless: The most visibly muscular member of The Seven, but is a pathetically bad fighter. Defector from Decadence: When Compound V's existence is leaked to the press, Elena suggests that this is a chance for her to leave the world of superheroes behind. She has sex with Butcher in Season 3 after drinking with him and realizing he's a person who hates Supes, Homelander, and themselves even more than she does. Hughie finds out that Translucent is a dad, and not a bad one since he spends almost all his spare time with his son. He only learns this after he's dead.
Adaptational Villainy: He went from being little more than the team's joke member to being the one who coerced Starlight into giving him a blowjob (and did the same to other women), whereas in the comics the Deep wasn't involved and was actually the only member of the Seven who didn't harass or bully Starlight in any way. Arch-Enemy: Is this to Frenchie, since he was unable to stop him from burning Mallory's grandchildren. While Mallory believed that she could move on from the past, Frenchie swore revenge.
Slave to PR: Everybody in the Seven is surrounded by Vought executives, who try to script their every word and tailor every little thing towards marketing the superheroes at the expense of, y'know, actually fighting crime.
Homelander, Superman Substitute, but as a straight-up villain. Unlike Superman, Homelander was Raised in a Lab, without loving parents to provide him with any moral fiber. He also has shades of Captain America with the patriotic aspects twisted for nefarious purposes. Disposable Woman: A Rare Male Example. He exists solely to give some further insight into Annie's past, becomes a major blow to her current boyfriend Hughie's self-esteem, then gets brutally Killed Offscreen by Homelander to show that Homelander isn't playing around anymore. Homelander even shows Annie his horrifically disfigured corpse to intimidate her.Maeve later tells Annie that she helped save her when she first joined the seven, as it caused her to start caring about people again and to become a genuine hero.
