Gen V is proving to be much more than a spin-off. The derivative series of The Boys arrived on Amazon Prime Video as a great surprise, and it has been magnifying throughout the episodes. However, with each new episode, significant surprises are reserved, and the latest of them has been a cameo that could define the future of The Boys itself.
In Episode 7 of Gen V, which is already leading the final stretch of the series’ first season, it has gone beyond what everyone expected. The series, which follows Marie Moureau, a heroine with blood control, on her journey through a specialized university for supers, has finally laid all its cards on the table before its conclusion. And the character it has introduced has completely changed everything we expected.
A major twist in the series
The character we are talking about is Grace Mallory, a former CIA agent who has been helping Billy Butcher and his gang throughout The Boys. Her grudge against supers aligns her with the series’ team ideology and has also led to significant involvement in Gen V. Mallory meets with Shetty to inform him about the super virus developed in Vought’s facilities, capable of killing any super. It’s such a powerful weapon that it can change the world of The Boys.
Clearly, this revelation marks a significant change in the original series, especially considering it has reached the ears of Dean Shetty, a rebellious Vought employee determined to bring down the company. If everything unfolds as it seems, the next season of The Boys will likely revolve around this virus and how much it can impact Homelander.
