Top 10 facts about Gen V - The Boys Spin Off!

Gen V is a spin-off series of The Boys that delves into the origins and complexities of the lives of supers during their adolescence and early adulthood.

The series offers a story that explores the genesis of powers, revealing dark conspiracies and even deeper moral challenges. Captivating characters with impactful twists, Gen V expands the boundaries of the visceral universe created by “The Boys”.

1- Son of Translucent Clear

In Gen V, Maverick is introduced, sharing the same invisibility power as Translucent Clear. In the first season of The Boys, he mentions having a son with this name.

2- Timeline

At one point, someone mentions being inspired to "speak my own truth since Starlight left the Seven." As this happened in the last season of The Boys, it is normal to deduce that the events occurred shortly after the last episode of the third season.

Another moment also mentions the incident between a civilian and Homelander after he became angry with the civilian who provoked his son.

3- Chimps Don't Cry

Early in the season, we see some students dancing to the choreography of the song "Chimps Don't Cry," the theme song of several episodes of the third season of The Boys. The performance of the song is by the heroine Crimson Countess, a parody of the Marvel character Scarlet Witch.

4- Marie in The Boys

During the second episode of the third season of The Boys, an image of Marie is shown in the selection of people who had been modified with Compound V.

5- Viral Photo of 2015

In the first episode, when Marie takes a photo of her sister with flowers in her hair, it is a reference to a photo that went viral in 2015 of Kendall Jenner. It is not the first time they have referenced her. A-Train's commercial in the third season was a satire of a soda commercial she had participated in.

These various references to the artist are probably made given the accusations related to the model, due to cultural appropriation by much of the black audience.

6- Smallville

The scene showing a mutant floating in the orphanage dormitory is very similar to another scene already seen in the Superman series, known as Smallville, where Clark is dreaming of Lana while floating in his sleep.

7- First African-American in the Seven

A-Train appears making his speech as the first African-American to be part of the Seven, while Marie's father watches television. The lines and scenes are extremely similar to Barack Obama's speech and inauguration as President of the United States.

8- Governor's Son

The student Golden Boy is played by actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, the son of the famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California.

9- Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Gen V is not the first series where actors Jaz Sinclair and Chance Perdomo have worked together. In 2018, they had a great success with the series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, a series produced by Netflix.

10- References to Marvel Movies

During the series, we can see various heroes from The Boy's universe acting in movies similar to those of Marvel, such as Queen Maeve acting in a movie similar to Wonder Woman and even the hero Prince Nubian, referencing Black Panther.

At one point in the series, you can see Vough's streaming system, where you can see almost all the superhero movies.
