'Gen V' Just Set Up 'The Boys' Final Season In A Huge Way
"But in The Boys, he's been able to change things up a bit. Though he started as the typically menacing CEO of Vought International, his character Stan Edgar was completely undermined by Homelander in The Boys Season 3 and sent to jail. In Season 4, he escaped with the help of his daughter, Victoria Neuman. Now, in Gen V Season 2, we know exactly what he's up to - and what could be coming in The Boys ' fifth and final season."
"In Gen V Season 2 Episode 6, Marie, Jordan, and Emma escape Elmira prison yet again, this time with Marie's long-lost sister Annabeth in tow, whom Marie manages to heal from the brink of oblivion with her blood-bending powers. They are rescued by, of all people, Stan Edgar, who is now living in a giant underground bunker where he can hide from Homelander's borderline fascist reign above ground."
"Edgar is able to provide Marie with what she's been looking for all season: answers about the Odessa program. She is one of the two survivors of the program started by Thomas Godolkin in order to create ultra-strong supes. The other survivor? Homelander, making Marie one of the few people strong enough to stop him. Initially, Edgar was going to recruit Marie to help him take down Homelander,"
Giancarlo Esposito is known for playing stoic villains, and his Stan Edgar shifted roles across The Boys and Gen V. Stan Edgar was undermined by Homelander in Season 3 and jailed, escaped in Season 4 with help from Victoria Neuman, and now hides in a giant underground bunker. In Gen V Season 2 Episode 6, Marie, Jordan, and Emma escape Elmira with Marie's sister Annabeth, whom Marie heals. Edgar rescues them and provides answers about the Odessa program, revealing Marie as one of two survivors alongside Homelander and pursuing a plan involving a possible Thomas Godolkin figure.
