What if Ashley’s costume in The Boys had revealed her terrible power?

In the dark and corrosive world of “The Boys”, every detail counts, and the costume of Ashley, the marketing manager of the Seven, is no exception. Imagine for a moment that this costume, carefully chosen to project an image of power and control, actually contains terrible power.

A Twist Revealed by Costumes

If you’re like me, a true TV series fan, you’ve probably watched The Boys with great enthusiasm. This series gave us memorable moments and, among others, the character of Ashley Barrett. This character underwent a dramatic transformation in Season 4, and it’s fascinating to see how his costume subtly foreshadowed this change.

Ashley’s Rough Start

Let’s remember that at the beginning of the season, Ashley starts off on a low note. Homelander demotes her after Sister Sage joins the Seven. Ashley then thinks about resigning but lacks the courage to do so.

Her world crumbles further when she fears that Homelander will discover her secret partnership with A-Train, placing her in a desperate situation.

Refusal to Flee and Transformation

As tensions mount, Ashley refuses to flee with A-Train. Instead, she makes a bold decision: to inject herself with Compound V.

This radical choice surprised many spectators, but for attentive observers, his costume offered valuable clues.

In the final scene of season 4, the jaguar print on her dress is not insignificant. Unlike its zebra print from season 3, a symbol of its vulnerability, the jaguar pattern indicates a rise in power. Jaguars are predators, and this visual transformation foreshadows Ashley’s transformation into a force to be reckoned with in the world of Vought.

When Ashley injects herself with Compound V, she begins to transform before the show cuts to the scene.

This leaves some mystery about his powers, but it is likely that they center around his personal history of trichotillomania. Perhaps she will become a parody version of Medusa, with powers linked to her hair.
