Marie Moreau: Jaz Sinclair
Prime VideoJaz Sinclair plays Marie Moreau, Gen V’s protagonist with some bloody devastating powers. Capable of manipulating streams of blood, using them as weapons as she sees fit, Moreau is certainly not to be trifled with.

Andre Anderson: Chance Perdomo

Emma Meyer: Lizze Broadway
Prime VideoLizzie Broadway plays Emma Meyer, Marie Moreau’s roommate at Godolkin University. Akin to Ant-Man, just with a far more disgusting process involved, Meyer can shrink down to minuscule proportions thanks to her superpower.
Cate Dunlap: Maddie Phillips

Sam: Asa Germann

Indira Shetty: Shelley Conn
Prime VideoShelley Conn plays Indira Shetty, the first of our human characters in Gen V. Shetty is the superintendent of Godolkin University, doing her utmost to ensure the campus remains the top spot in America for Supes to hone their powers. At least, those appear to be her intentions on the surface.
