There are a new class of supes who hope to join the Seven in Gen V. Marie Moreau, Andre Anderson, and others are fighting for the coveted #1 spot at Godolkin University and all the perks that come with being great. It’s an exciting new direction for The Boys universe but our hearts are always with characters like Hughie, A-Train, and even Homelander. We know that a few characters from The Boys are coming to Gen V throughout its first season. But how will their stories intertwine with God U? Here’s what The Boys characters are doing in Gen V.
A-Train Is a Beacon of Hope in Gen V
It’s not clear if A-Train will make his way to God U before the season ends. We do see him in the show’s opening scene, which is a flashback from eight years ago. Marie’s dad is proud to see a Black man make it into the Seven. If he only knew the truth about that organization. A-Train’s draft clip is the only time he appears in the first three episodes.
Ashley Barrett Continues to Lie for Vought in Gen V
Ashley Barrett appears at the end of episode one after Golden Boy’s rampage and death by suicide. Of course, the Vought CEO lies and says that there’s nothing wrong at Godolkin. She calls Golden Boy “psychotic” and a “drug user.” Then, her clip pulls us back into our reality before we get a taste of what will happen this semester.
She shows up early in episode two on a board meeting/phone call with Godolkin University president Indira Shetty to discuss Golden Boy’s death. Ashley quickly creates a narrative to push Marie and Andre as the “Guardians of Godolkin” who saved the day so they can score points with the public and the NAACP. Jordan Li is purposely left out of the narrative because of their race and gender identity. A private conversation between Indira and Ashley reveals that the woods being exposed is a big and, in Ashley’s words, a “potentially fatal” problem. Indira assures her that she will handle everything from a PR perspective.
Adam Bourke Is a Godolkin Professor in Gen V, Apparently
Adam Bourke shows up exactly where we thought he would in Gen V—the school of performing arts. The famed director tells his acting class to use their grief over Golden Boy’s death to push forward. His appearance is hilarious with a pitch-perfect monologue about the importance of the artist. Apparently, his students have to “bring the funk and not the junk” to get a passing grade.
The Deep Ranked #6 at God U and Loved Brink
The Deep (well, his photo) shows up in a Godolkin University orientation video in episode one. While Queen Maeve and A-Train were #1 in their classes, The Deep came in at #6. Honestly, I’m shocked he made it that far up the rankings. He’s not qualified to be a professor but he did send in a video for a fundraiser gala honoring Brink. In episode three, The Deep says Brink helped him hone his skills and sharpen his mind to turn him into the intelligent man he is today. He tells him to “rest in peace bro.”
This will probably be the only time The Deep makes a Gen V appearance but it is a fun cameo.
Soldier Boy’s Gen V Terror Will Come Later
No Soldier Boy quite yet! That’s probably a good thing.
