5 perplexing questions that fans want answered in Gen V season two

1) What does Victoria Neuman plan to do with the virus?

Season two will most likely reveal what Victoria wants to do with the virus (Image via Prime Video)

In season one of Gen V, Marco Pigossi's Dr. Cardosa and Shelley Conn's Dean Shetty developed a dangerous virus that can be used against the Supes. After Cate (Maddie Phillips) kills Shetty, Victoria personally takes Dr. Cardosa out of the equation to get her hands on the virus. At present, she is the only one who has knowledge of the virus, which makes her both formidable and dangerous.

The audience sees Victoria leave with the virus for Washington, but they are left in the dark with regards to her motivations. It is unlikely that she will pursue an approach involving a global infection. After all, she has Marie's blood-manipulating ability, which puts her at risk. But, it is quite possible that she will use the virus to create streamlined weapons to give herself an upper hand in Gen V season two.

2) Why did Sam end up aligning with Cate?

In Gen V season one, Lizze Broadway's Emma is the one who helps Sam (Asa Germann) escape from the lab. Over time, they develop a bond, and so, it is rather surprising that he would turn on Emma all of a sudden. It must be kept in mind that Sam joined Cate even before she used mind-control on him. The switch from pure and innocent to manipulative and ruthless seemed a bit rushed.

In fact, for the longest time, Sam hated Cate for trying to ruin him and his brother, which is why Gen V fans deserve a better answer for why he decided to suddenly switch loyalties.

It is also interesting to note that Vought decided to promote Sam and Cate as heroes despite the fact that they killed several Vought employees. It seems like there is more under the surface, which will most likely be revealed in season two.

3) Will Andre replace Polarity?

From an early age, Chance Perdomo's Andre Anderson has known that he has to live up to the superhero legacy of his father. Even though he possesses powerful abilities, the pressure of being as good as Polarity is a burden that he has to shoulder alone.

Unfortunately for Andre, his confidence takes a hit when his father suffers from a major health crisis. It is revealed that whenever Polarity uses his powers, it results in a micro-tear in his neural pathways. Over time, his father has suffered severe brain damage that cannot be reversed.

Andre himself starts experiencing brain damage symptoms, which could prompt him to stop using his powers altogether. Gen V fans will have to wait and see whether he embraces his father's legacy or chooses a different path.

4) Will Gen V's romantic pairings have a happy ending?

Jordan, portrayed by London Thor and Derek Luh in Gen V, is seen in a romantic relationship with Marie. A classic enemies-to-lovers arc, the two of them didn't get off on the right foot, but eventually they start to develop a strong chemistry.

Even though their relationship is not perfect, they did end up on the same side in season one of Gen V, which increases their chances of staying together in season two. But only time will tell if their bond can stay strong amidst new trouble brewing at Godolkin University.

The Gen V relationships from season one that are likely to go sour in season two are Sam and Emma, and Andre and Cate. As Sam and Cate embrace the limelight as the new campus heroes, it is most likely that their romantic pairings will bear the brunt of the aftermath of their radical actions.

5) Is Cipher an ally of Homelander?

When season one of Gen V came to an end, fans were wondering if Godolkin University would shut down after all the chaos and destruction. But things became clear when the season two cast announcements came through. Hamish Linklater joined the cast to play the new dean, Cipher. An original character, Cipher hasn't previously appeared in any of The Boys comics.

As fans remember, Godolkin's former dean, Indira Shetty, was the main antagonist of season one. While it isn't clear whether Linklater's character will follow Shetty's footsteps, it must be remembered that Godolkin University is run by Vought International. And, Homelander has complete control of the company. Viewers will find out soon enough if Cipher will help cover up Homelander's violence.
