By setting up shop in the Oval Office, Homelander can get the green light to send his army of Supes wherever he wants to. He’s so drunk on power that he just rounds up a bunch of people he doesn’t like and throws them in prison. What Homelander may not realize is that his reign of terror is about to come to an end, and it won’t be Butcher that gets him in the end. No, there’s a new villain in the field who has no qualms about killing those who don’t fit his vision.
Gen V Reveals the Real Mastermind of the Supe Crisis
The big mystery in Gen V has been Cipher, God U’s new dean. After showing up at the school, he takes an interest in Marie Moreau, sending out some of Vought’s strongest to hunt her down and bring her to him. She returns to God U willingly and begins playing Cipher’s game to learn more about Project Odessa. Well, it turns out that she’s the result of the program, and Cipher believes she can be just as powerful as Homelander. To test his theory, he forces Marie to save her dying sister under duress, a task she completes with flying colors. Cipher loses control of the situation after that, though, allowing former Vought CEO Stan Edgar to get his hands on Marie and her friends.
Edgar reveals that he believes the old man Cipher is keeping alive is actually Thomas Godolkin, the school’s founder. Thinking he can help defeat Cipher, Marie goes to rescue Godolkin while all of her friends hold off Cipher in Season 2, Episode 7, “Hell Week.” The healing process makes Godolkin as good as new, so he pulls the rug out and reveals that he’s been Cipher the whole time, pushing Marie to make him whole again so he can begin taking out weak Supes. Godolkin starts by forcing the pledge that had been following Sam around to kill himself. And the guy in the diaper likely won’t be the last Supe Godolkin kills, as he could turn his attention to Vought Tower after finishing his work at the school.
