Some characters have a better chance than others actually to be standing when the dust settles, though. Kimiko and Starlight are the only members of The Boys with powers, so they’ll have a leg up when the fights break out. However, the events of Gen V Season 2 are laying the groundwork for another one of the good guys to have a real shot at surviving the final battle. They just have to be willing to listen to reason, which isn’t always a skill they excel at.
Marie Moreau Is Changing the Landscape of the Fight Against Homelander
Gen V may not act like it’s as important as The Boys, with it focusing on a group of college students who just want to enjoy campus life, but it’s pushing its fair share of important agendas. For starters, the new dean of God U, Cipher, spends most of the sophomore outing telling Marie Moreau that she has what it takes to be as strong as Homelander. While throwing blood at people doesn’t scream powerhouse, the mood shifts when Marie is able to bring her sister back to life after Cipher cuts her throat. There’s clearly latent potential within Marie, and she just needs a push to take the next step in her journey.
Marie’s next challenge comes when she learns that Thomas Godolkin is alive and being held captive by Cipher. While her friends distract the villain, she heads downstairs and uses her abilities to heal Godolkin, who was burned badly decades ago. By the time Marie is done, her potential ally is as good as new. Unfortunately, he quickly shows his true colors, revealing that he’s behind Cipher and tricked Marie into helping him. It’s going to take everything Marie and her friends have to stop Godolkin, who can control Supes. But if she makes it out alive, it’s easy to pinpoint the next stop on her healing tour, as there’s a character in desperate need of a pick-me-up.
