The cast of 'The Boys' welcome Goldolkin University students ahead of the 'Gen V' premiere on 29 September

Marie is an 18-year-old superhero with a unique superpower – the ability to control and weaponise her own blood. A freshman at Godolkin University, she is determined to prove she is strong enough to join The Seven but is distracted when she stumbles upon a mysterious discovery at the school.

Andre is a junior at the university with magnetic powers and the best friend of Golden Boy. He is also the son of the famous superhero, Polarity and it is expected that he will take over the name once his dad retires. When Andre realises that something strange is happening at the school, he takes it upon himself to investigate the mystery.

Known as ‘Little Cricket’ for her ability to get super small, Lizze is often insecure and naïve, which makes her vulnerable to be in compromising positions. She becomes close friends with her freshman roommate Marie, and together they navigate the mysterious dangers at Godolkin University.

Indira, the dean of Godolkin University, may not possess any superpowers, but she uses her background in superhero psychology to transform the school into the most elite college for superheroes. She also takes an interest in Marie when she arrives on campus.

Good friends with both Andre and Jordan, Cate can push people to do anything she commands using the touch of her hands. Powerful and confident, she is also Luke’s girlfriend, making her one of the most popular supes on campus.

A highly competitive student, Jordan has the unique ability to change between male and female forms, each with its own set of powers. In their male form, they are dense and indestructible, while in their female form, they are agile and can launch energy blasts. Their exceptional abilities have made them a standout teaching assistant at Brink’s School of Crime Fighting.

Brink is a professor of crime fighting at the university and is dedicated to finding the top new talent to join The Seven. He believes Golden Boy has the potential to be the next member of the superhero team.
