Marie Moreau, played by actress Jaz Sinclair, is the main character of Gen V, an Amazon series spin-off of The Boys. At eighteen, she is admitted to Godolkin University, Vought International’s elite school for young Supes, determined to join The Seven and redefine heroism. However, her ambitions are complicated by a traumatic past and the dangerous nature of her powers.
She is the daughter of Malcolm and Jackie Moreau. In season 2, it is discovered that she was part of Project Odessa: a clandestine Vought International program whose goal was to create god-like Supes. Originating in the late 1960s, Project Odessa used a campaign of accessible IVF treatments with families that couldn’t have babies, intending to use those products as test subjects using IVF technology to expose the subject to Compound-V in the blastocyst stage. The only survivors of the project were Homelander in 1981 and Marie Moreau in 2005; the latter of whom was considered a failure when she didn’t possess powers at birth. Stan Edgar discontinues the project shortly after Marie’s birth.
Marie discovered her ability to control blood during her first period. During this event, with fear and zero knowledge about her powers and how to control them, she accidentally killed her parents and was separated from her sister, Annabeth (whom she reunites with in Season 2). After years in the Red River Institute for super-powered orphans, she earns a place at God U, where she channels her pain into determination.
Marie’s hemokinesis allows her to control and weaponize blood, sense its flow and traces of Compound V, and eventually use it for healing. She triggers her powers by cutting herself with a switchblade, a constant reminder of her trauma. Fierce yet deeply conflicted, she struggles with guilt, identity, and the fear of becoming the monster others see her as.
At God U, Marie builds complicated but meaningful relationships. She rooms with Emma Meyer, forms a tense alliance with Jordan Li, and seeks reconnection with Annabeth. Her story weaves together grief, growth, and moral questioning, portraying her as a young woman fighting to define herself amid corruption and chaos.
Though the show never labels Marie’s sexuality outright, it’s expressed through her relationship with Jordan Li, a bisexual and bisex supe. In season 1, their romance develops through mutual trust and attraction across Jordan’s male and female forms (Episodes 4,5 of Season 1). During episode 2 of season 2, we see Marie equally drawn to both, without preference, during her conversation with Jordan in their female form (during the episode, Li has doubts about whether Marie prefers their male form). The creators have described their relationship as a “queer romance,” highlighting self-discovery over traditional labels and making Marie one of the show’s quietly powerful bisexual representations.
