Continuing from the first part. This second part of my Jack From Jupiter post covers Season 4 of The Boys, both seasons of Gen V, & Season 5 all the way up to the last episode before the finale.

Gen V Season 1

Jack From Jupiter isn’t involved much in the first season of Gen V, but it is revealed that he created the prescription drugs that would be used to suppress HIS ability to hear other peoples’ thoughts… and that of other Supes with the same telepathic ability like Cate Dunlap.

Season 4

Unlike the prior three seasons, Jack From Jupiter doesn’t have much of a role until the final three episodes… but Jack proves instrumental in Billy Butcher figuring out that he’s hallucinating Kessler & Becca thanks to the brain tumors resulting from his abuse of Temp V, exposing the shapeshifter that poses as Starlight (portrayed as one of several offspring Jack has had in some nightstands that he’s had in his spare time), & helping the real Starlight regain her powers (after she spent the better part of Season 4 dealing with her own inner demons that caused her doubt & a subsequent reduction in her powers).

Gen V Season 2

The second season sees Jack From Jupiter playing a major role in the fight against Cipher… then against the person responsible for Cipher’s threat… Thomas Godolkin… whom Jack has been playing a cosmic game of chess against for years… one that started in the 60s when Jack became a scientist & helped Godolkin found Godolkin University… but Godolkin refused to acknowledge Jack at all, seeing him as nothing more than in inferior Supe while he himself was ironically a human that was a Supe Supremacist… ironically, Godolkin’s attempt at torturing Jack until he started seeing things HIS way instead made Jack’s powers stronger, resulting in a lab accident that left Godolkin charred all over his body, which in Jack’s mind should’ve left him a powerless vegetable… but as Jack realized too late, Godolkin shot himself up not with adrenaline (as Jack initially assumed during their fight) but with V-One. While the V-One couldn’t immediately heal Godolkin’s burns, it gave him incredible psychic powers that could match Jacks’. Also, it is revealed that a secondary power of Jack From Jupiter that he had trained himself in is the ability to resist attempts to read his mind both from Godolkin… and from other super smart Supes like Sister Sage, who is revealed to have become what she is now because of Godolkin. As already made known in Season 4 of the main series, Jessica Bradley lost her grandmother to a group of racist doctors who ignored her when she came to them with a cure for cancer. The experience drove her into a deep-seated hatred of mankind. As a result, she became a Misanthrope Supreme. In my little rewrite of this origin story… it is revealed that these racist doctors were on Godolkin’s payroll, cruelly murdering parents, grandparents, & legal guardians of children who had developed superpowers through Compound V through medical malpractice as a means of engineering “tragic origin stories” for Godolkin to exploit in order to create Supes in his image, NOT for Vought’s sake, but primarily for himself & his G-Men. Jessica was one such victim… for while some of the doctors refused to ignore a potential cure for cancer that could save millions, they unfortunately underestimated Godolkin’s power as he used his psychic powers to force the death of Jessica’s grandmother as punishment for her refusal to just let her die by order of the racist doctors… with most of the doctors who dared to try & stand up to their superiors on Jessica’s behalf being slaughtered one by one… but the one doctor who refused to obey his superiors’ orders for medical malpractice more than one else, Doug Brightbill, was punished for leading the attempted revolt against the racist doctors with a fate worse than death, basically being made into Godolkin’s meat puppet for decades… something that Jack From Jupiter had suspected from the start & unfortunately learns too late to stop Marie Moreau from healing Godolkin… mainly because Sister Sage herself had played Jack’s own game against her on Godolkin’s behalf… which makes it all the more horrifying for Sage when she learns the hard way that Godolkin not only used her to get his body back in working condition so he can get his revenge on Jack, but had been responsible for Sage losing her grandmother through his proxies… and is now proving to be genocidal beyond her predictions in addition to being on the cusp of controlling Homelander… forcing Sage to team up with Jack to stop Godolkin.

Season 5

One year after Homelander consolidated his power, Jack From Jupiter is revealed to have been helping Starlight & A-Train in secret to the best of his ability, helping Starlight (as Annie January) infiltrate a Vought shareholders meeting in order to leak the Flight 37 video, damaging trust in Homelander & helping A-Train to stay one step ahead of Vought, relocating his family repeatedly. After A-Train’s death at Homelander’s hands, Jack becomes disturbed by Homelander having found & released Soldier Boy from cryostasis (his final fate at the end of Season 3)… and later when Soldier Boy survives the Godolkin Virus… because V1, a Compound V variant in Soldier Boy’s blood, gives him immortality. Fearing how much of a threat Homelander could become if he were to become immortal as well, Jack covertly aids The Boys in trying to find a sample of V1 before Homelander does. Jack also gets into conflict with Oh Father, admitting that he’s an atheist, but draws the line at using Christianity as an excuse to justify his greed, exorbitant spending habits, conspiracy theory spouting, transphobia, & just being a hypocritical grifter & implied molester. Also, when The Deep becomes isolated & is threatened with death by marine animals aware of his role in the pipeline disaster (effectively barring him from the ocean), resulting in him chickening out when he had the chance to save a man from drowning in front of several witnesses, Jack (with his info gathering & telepathy) publicly explains Deep’s situation as best as he can on Social Media while deliberately withholding the fact that it was Black Noir II who actually caused the pipeline disaster ecocide (as part of a Cycle of Revenge that the two wound up in), because Jack never liked the Deep in the first place (and for good reason), Jack From Jupiter effectively ruined Deep’s public reputation after he had spent five seasons not learning his lesson because there was nothing in it for him and sinking into further depths of narcissism. After Frenchie dies in Kimiko’s arms after having sacrificed himself to keep Homelander from stopping Butcher’s final plan to stop Homelander: Infuse Kimiko with enough radiation from enriched uranium that she will gain the atomic blast power that Soldier Boy developed, Jack is furious, deciding that Homelander, being too far gone, needs to be put down… whatever the cost.
