Introduction
Gen V's first season featured plenty of characters from The Boys, but there are still several more that should feature in season 2. The Boys spinoff show proved to be a huge hit and warranted the universe's expansion. While the university setting could have been a hindrance to the show, it managed to introduce a variety of interesting young supes who could play a big part in not only the spinoff but also the entire Boys franchise going forward. Gen V has prompted The Boys season 4 theories, showing instantly that the show has a massive impact and that these characters may be crucial to the overall story.

Throughout Gen V season 1, there are a whole host of recognizable faces making some kind of cameo. Some only had small, brief parts, while others had a massive role. Homelander attacking Marie in Gen V season 1's finale proved to be a shocking conclusion. His screen time may have been short compared to The Boys, but even with a limited window, he made a huge impact. Gen V using such a big character highlights how each series will overlap and impact one another. With the likelihood of some Gen V characters appearing in The Boys season 4, there are more main show characters who would be great for Gen V season 2.
The Characters We Want to See
The characters from The Boys that we want to see in Gen V season 2 include Black Noir, Ezekiel, Stormfront, Kimiko, Billy Butcher, Stan Edgar, Ryan Butcher, and Starlight. Each of these characters brings a unique dynamic to the story and could have a significant impact on the overall narrative of Gen V season 2.
Black Noir: A Fun and Humorous Role
Black Noir is known for not talking, and while the original was incapable, his replacement will likely not talk either to keep continuity, since the original character was killed off. Having him be there to make some form of speech or public appearance could play to the universe's humor, as he would likely stand awkwardly in front of the crowd. Black Noir would be completely out of place at Godolkin, which would make his appearance that much funnier and show how Vought will use anyone for PR, regardless of the situation.

Black Noir could play a fun and humorous role in Gen V, adding a unique and comedic element to the show. His appearance at Godolkin University could provide a fresh perspective on the character and his interaction with the young supes.
