The youngsters at the heart of Gen V too were all given ‘Compound V’ by their opportunistic parents. Sadly for the ‘blood-bending’ Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), the protagonist of Gen V, she accidentally kills her parents when her powers manifest. And yet, there’s the lurking feeling that the ‘anti-superhero’ theme might be at risk of getting saturated. Luckily for fans of The Boys, Gen V is off to a promising start and the parent show has — to its credit — maintained its quality across three seasons. Both of these shows and indeed, future entrants in the anti-superhero subgenre, must work extra hard to stay fresh and relevant.
