The second season of Gen V introduced Cipher (Hamish Linklater, Last act), an antagonist that quickly became the largest puzzle in the universe The Boys. Initially presented as the new Rector of Godolkin University, the character revealed powers, motivations and a mysterious origin that became a fertile ground for theories that try to unravel their identity and their final goals.

The complexity of Cipher resides in their ambiguous actions. At the same time, where he positions himself as a supremacist, he demonstrates a particular interest in training Marie (Jaz sinlair, Paper cities) For it to exceed the power of the Captain Fatherland (ANTONY STARR), what raises the first big question among fans: is he in fact a villain? A popular theory suggests that Cipher It acts as a radical mentor, disappointed with young heroes because they want them to reach their true potential. This hypothesis connects with the possibility of being a secret agent of Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito, Breaking bad), hired to find or create a substitute for the unstable leader of the seven.

The mystery deepens with the revelation that Cipher It has no V compound in your blood, something unpublished for a Super with such strength. Two main theories try to explain the origin of their powers. The first, more direct, suggests that he is a “natural mutant”, one of the rare individuals born with innate skills. This would explain his contempt for the heroes created by Vought and his supposed desire to create a “purest” race of Superhumans.

The second most elaborate theory proposes that the body of Cipher be just a “meat puppet” to Thomas Godolkinthe founder of the university. According to this hypothesis, the burnt body seen in a hyperbaric chamber would be Godolkin, who survived and uses his mental powers to control Cipher at a distance. In this scenario, your goal when training Marie It would be preparing it to become your new and most powerful host.

Regardless of their intentions, the methods of Cipher They are questionable. Another theory points out that he was directly responsible for the death of Andre (Chance Perdomo, Sabrina’s Dark World), using their mental control to force the young man to lead his powers to a fatal limit, either as a resistance test or to eliminate an obstacle in his main focus: Marie.

Each possibility offers a new layer of complexity to the character, whose narrative arch has become the driving force of the season. The final response about the identity of Cipher not only will define the future of Gen Vbut it can also have direct implications for the struggle for power in the main universe of The Boys.

What to expect from the second season of Gen V?

Gen V Explore the lives of young superheroes, students of Godolkin University, run by Vought International, testing their physical, sexual and moral limits as they compete for the best contracts to work in the best cities, as well as the heroes of The Boys.

In the second year, while the rest of the United States adapts to the iron fist of the Captain Fatherland (ANTONY STARR, G20), the students of Godolkin University deal with a mysterious new rector (Hamish Linklater, Midnight mass), that preaches a curriculum that promises to make them more powerful than ever.

However, it is difficult to worry about classes when the war between humans and Supers It is forming, inside and outside the campus. Soon, the group learns from a secret program that dates back to the founding of Godolkin University, and may have greater implications than they imagine. And the worst is that, somehow, Marie It’s part of it.
