The Boys Season 5 is doing whatever it can to build up to an epic finale, and that includes a few big crossovers. Gen V, the college-focused spinoff series, ended Season 2 with an epic moment where Starlight recruited the young adult Supes to help her take down Vought for good. However, it doesn’t look like they’ll play that big of a role in the season at all.
In fact, Season 5 Episode 3 contains the first reappearing character from The Boys. But instead of having Marie Moreau, Jordan Li, or another major player from that series show up, a next-gen hero who served as a running joke in Gen V made a cameo: Maverick. Unfortunately, his role in the series seems to be purely to make another character face his past — a bad sign for any future crossovers.
