Meet "Gen V's" genderfluid superhero

 "Gen V," the YA "The Boys" spinoff, centers on the lives of college students who have superpowers and are being trained to join The Seven in "The Boys" (think along the lines of the Disney Channel hit film of my childhood, "Sky High"). "Gen V" is a solid successor to the offensively good "The Boys" — the Prime Video hit revels in its hedonistic superheroes who are mega-violent and masochistic — and part of that has to do with one of the main characters, Jordan Li (played by London Thor and Derek Luh).

"Gen V" sometimes lags in areas, but it breaks all young adult drama cliches introducing viewers to the bi-gendered superhero, Jordan, giving the audience an interesting new take on genderfluid representation in media.
