Gen V premieres September 29.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A new character from The Boys comic has been confirmed to appear in the upcoming spinoff series Gen V. The new show, which takes place in the same universe as Prime Video's The Boys, follows a group of Supe students at Godolkin University uncovering a Vought-led conspiracy surrounding the school. In addition to a new leading cast, familiar characters like Ashley Barrett and Victoria Neuman are set to appear in the spinoff.
Now, Entertainment Weekly confirms The Boys comic Supe Tek Knight will be making his onscreen debut during Gen V. The character will be played by Preacher actor Derek Wilson. A first look at Wilson in the role was also released, which can be viewed below: Who Is Tek Knight In The Boys? In The Boys comic series, Tek Knight is serves as a parody of both Iron Man and Batman, as he is a rich superhero that relies on expensive tech to complete his missions. Unlike other Supes, Tek Knight has no superpowers, meaning he never takes Compound V like other heroes associated with Vought. The comics also show Tek Knight to be a member of the team Payback, though the TV adaptation doesn't indicate this to be the case.
Wilson's casting as Tek Knight in Gen V confirms the character will finally appear onscreen, having been mentioned in The Boys since season 1. Initially, it was speculated that Jeffrey Dean Morgan would be playing the character in The Boys season 4, given how secretive the actor's role in the show has been so far. Not only does Wilson's casting finally reveal who will be Tek Knight, but it now leaves Morgan's role in the main series up in the air.
It's unclear what Tek Knight's role in Gen V will be, nor to what capacity he'll be involved in Godolkin's mysterious experiments on some students. However, Tek Knight formerly attended the University in the comics, making his first appearance in the spinoff appropriate. It remains to be seen how big a role Tek Knight will have in Gen V and how this might set up the events of The Boys season 4.
