History Characters / TheBoys2019GodolkinUniversity

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: {{Downplayed|Trope}} - while Godolkin is a SuperheroSchool like the Charles Xavier Institute from ''ComicBook/XMen'', and has ''plenty'' of dark secrets, the students and staff don't appear to be dog-kicking baby eaters or [[spoiler:a paedophilic cult]] as they were in the comics, instead coming off as a university with issues exacerbated by the students having super powers.

* LighterAndSofter: Even within the confines of the comic, Godolkin was infamous for [[spoiler:being a cover for its founder to indulge in his paedophilic desires]]. [[DamnedByFaintPraise Anything that isn't a one-to-one adaptation of the organization would be softer than what was featured in the comics]].

* PetTheDog: Despite showing himself to be as despicable as most Vought employees, he does show genuine kindness to Jordan, not caring about their gender identity and helping shield them from the typical behind-the-scenes bigotry of Vought's marketing practices to help them thrive at the school.

* AlliterativeName: '''M'''arie '''M'''oreau.

* BadPowersBadPeople: Contrasting [[BadPowersGoodPeople Marie,]] Cate has the also quite evil-seeming hypnotic telepathy, and her journey sees her going from one kind of heel to another.

* AlliterativeName: '''A'''ndre '''A'''nderson.

* BoringButPractical: He has magnetic powers which aren't as show-offy as blood manipulation or a CompellingVoice, but they can be used from a distance, are both useful offensively and [[MundaneUtility in non combat situations]] and allows for limited technopathy, which are far safer than a CompellingVoice that requires physical contact, less [[CastFromHitPoints harmful]] than blood manipulation and more useful than sizeshifting. [[spoiler: Subverted when it's revealed his powers are giving him brain damage.]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Of all the main cast, he is the one with the least amount of screen time, but his relevance to the main plot is undeniable as its his [[SeekerArchetype continued scrutiny]] surrounding the circumstances of Luke's death that ultimatley kicks off the domino effect that results in [[spoiler:the discovery of The Woods and its incidious purpose, the revelation of Sam's existence, and [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom the inevitable massacre at God U]] following Cate's FaceHeelTurn.]]

* SuperStrength: In their main form he can tussle with Golden Boy though they are ultimately defeated.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Him using his powers to [[spoiler:try raping Marie]] is pretty reminiscent of a date rape, with her [[spoiler: blacking out and waking up confused with him exposing himself.]]

* PosterGalleryBedroom: Cate's parents kept her isolated for years in a beautiful bedroom with girly decorations, posters of the Seven... and a blast door so she could not get out get out.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: While experimenting on innocent Supes for the purpose of creating a virus that could kill them all off is undoubtedly evil and paints her as [[FantasticRacism bigotws towards Supes]], her primary motivation for committing genocide against Supes is to ensure that they wouldn’t harm more innocent humans, since her husband and daughter were victims of Supe negligence]].

* CoolLoser: She's a fun, friendly type who dresses stylishly, but people higher on the food chain than her constantly condescend to and mistreat her.

* AssholeVictim: She's [[spoiler:pretty much genocidal and put many young Supes, Cate and Sam included, through heavy abuse, The aforementioned Cate uses her powers to compel Shetty to [[PsychicAssistedSuicide off herself]], with Sam's encouragement.]]

* AssholeVictim: She's [[spoiler:pretty much genocidal]] and [[spoiler:put many young Supes, Cate and Sam included, through heavy abuse]]. [[spoiler:The aforementioned Cate uses her powers to compel Shetty to [[DrivenToSuicide off herself]], with Sam's encouragement.]]

** Before [[spoiler:Cate makes her kill herself]], [[spoiler:Shetty tells her that she loves her.]] [[spoiler:Cate, who can hear everyone's thoughts even without trying to, says that she knows Shetty loves her. (Though she still makes her kill herself.) The fact that Cate hears everyone's thoughts and said that Shetty ''does'' love her seems to indicate that, for all her manipulations, Shetty did come to love Cate.]]

* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler: She ends up murdering Shetty through forced suicide in episode 7, quickly taking the role as BigBad by the end of the first season.]]

* MrFanservice: Played by the very attractiv Asa Germann and his PrettyBoy appearence, and gets plenty of shirtless scenes.

* TwoferTokenMinority: When a scandal rocks Godolkin University, Vought hesitates to spotlight Jordan even though they were the real hero of the hour because being both East Asian and bigender makes them a hard sell to middle America. Vought insteades push Andre and Marie (who are black), though they did little more than stand by, because they're considered more palatable and will score points with the NAACP.

* TwoferTokenMinority: Asian, bisexual, and bigender, though calling them "token" is a stretch among such a diverse cast. As the only main character who's East Asian and trans however they narrowly count.

* OutOfFocus: Of all the main cast, he is the one with least screen time and relevance. negative

* OutOfFocus: Of all the main cast, he is the one with least screen time and relevance.
* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: He's sleeping with Cate, who was previously Luke's girlfriend. [[spoiler:In fact, they'd been having an affair for some time prior to Luke's death.]]

* BadPowersGoodPeople: BloodyMurder is generally not a power associated with heroic characters, but Marie has a similar attitude to Annie[=/=]Starlight from the original show, believing that she can do good despite the inherent awfulness of super society.

* SuperpowerLottery: While her ability seems rather specific at first glance, Cardosa refers to her as one of the potentionally most powerful supes ever created, which gets apparent the more she explores the full extent of her bloodbending over the season. She starts out being able to merely use her own blood as a whip or projectile, over the events at God U she discovers that she's capable of
** Reversing massive blood loss in wounded bystanders
** Popping body parts like fellow bloodbender Victoria Neuman can
** Detecting anomalies and foreign bodies inside other people's blood
** Giving people, even fellow supes, heart attacks, casually revealing herself as the most potent stealth killer in the show's universe, given how common heart attacks are.
** Raining swarms of bloody arrows on her opponent.

* {{Foil}}: To Marie. For starters, they lost at least one closed loved one of theirs when they awaken to their superpowers, as Marie killed her parents while Cate's brother disappeared, and wasn't found since then. Their powers also have something to do with the human body, as while Marie [[BloodyMurder can control blood]], Cate [[{{Telepathy}} can control minds]]. [[spoiler:By the Season One finale, Cate ends up becoming a GoodCounterpart to Marie, as despite them having similar circumstances, Marie ends up not going through a FaceHeelTurn because of her upbringing like Cate did.]]

* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Cate's parents never touched her again after she told her little brother in annoyance to go into the woods and never come back, unaware this would be the moment her CompellingVoice started, so Caleb did just that, with them never finding him afterward.

* NiceGuy: Although a bit annoying.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He is 28 years old, but his appearance is that of a 12 year old.

* YourHeadAsplode: [[spoiler: Victoria kills him this way after he tries to leak what's happening at The Woods to the government, not realising she's in league with Vought.]]

** To Cate. For starters, they lost at least one closed loved one of theirs when they awaken to their superpowers, as Marie killed her parents while Cate's brother disappeared, and wasn't found since then. Their powers also have something to do with the human body, as while Marie [[BloodyMurder can control blood]], Cate [[{{Telepathy}} can control minds]]. [[spoiler:By the Season One finale, Marie ends up becoming a GoodCounterpart to Cate as well, as despite them having similar circumstances, Marie end up not going through a FaceHeelTurn like Cate did.]]

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler:At first, Cate was actually working with Shetty, but it was made clear that she was actually a RegretfulTraitor, and ultimately decided to help the heroes to take down Shetty for good. However, after she killed Shetty, she then pulled a FaceHeelTurn, and started a school riot with Sam along with the other supes within The Woods.]]

* FaceHeelTurn: Ultimately, thanks to Rufus corrupting him, he pulls one at the Season Finale, as he, Cate, and the supes within The Woods participate in a school riot.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Shows shades of becoming this, since after the rally at campus he begins to think that being a superhuman makes him superior than regular people, and he is being oppressed. It's hinted that his time being tortured on The Woods is a partial motivation for this. [[spoiler: Confirmed during the finale where he is TheDragon to Cate's riot.]]

* SuperStrength: Seems to be his primary power, as he's powerful enough to dent metal. Shetty says he's actually stronger than his brother, [[spoiler:and she, Brink, and Cardosa were even transfusing Luke with Sam's blood to make him stronger]].
