The creative team’s latest release is Gen V Season 2, which returns to Godolkin University and drops its fair share of bombshells. The finale, in particular, shakes up the status quo in a significant way, pitting its main characters against a nasty villain who wants nothing more than to wipe useless Supes off the map. During the fight, they learn more about themselves and set the stage for the final season of The Boys, which is sure to turn the dial to 11.
Gen V Season 2 Leaves Its Villains Worse Than It Found Them
For the entire season, Marie Moreau and her friends have been trying to gain an advantage over Cipher, the new dean of God U. He reveals that he can control Supes, but he doesn’t have any Compound V in his blood, making him an interesting challenge. The solution that the good guys come up with is to heal the old man Cipher is carrying around, whom they believe to be Thomas Godolkin. That hunch turns out to be spot on, so Marie heals him from his burns, hoping he can lend a hand in the fight. Unfortunately, Godolkin explains that he’s been Cipher the whole time and starts going on a killing spree on the God U campus. Despite Sister Sage telling him it’s a bad idea, he even puts together a new seminar to “cull the herd,” as he puts it.
Marie catches wind of Godolkin’s plan in the finale and, with her friends’ help, confronts the villain. His power is too much for her to handle, though, and it takes Polarity, who Sister Sage frees, showing up and knocking Godolkin on his butt to free her. With a shield by her side, Marie kills Godolkin and leaves the campus with her friends before Vought can show up. With Godolkin off the board, Sister Sage’s plans are looking worse for wear. She may not even have Homelander on her side anymore, since she doesn’t return his call after he learns of the Godolkin fiasco. Infighting is nothing new for members of The Seven, but this isn’t the time for it because the heroes are gaining ground.
