In The Boys spin-off series Gen V, Jordan Li is a competitive student at Godolkin University who has the unique ability\u00a0of changing between male and female forms, through which different powers manifest \u2013 the man is dense and indestructible, while the woman is agile and can launch energy blasts.<\/p>\n

When we first met Jordan, they were working closely with Professor Brink, while in recent episodes we have them grow close with Marie Moreau.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As the character has both male and female forms, they are played by two actors in the series \u2013 London Thor, as the female version of Jordan, and Derek Luh, as the male version.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thor said of creating the character with Derek Luh: \u201cIt\u2019s been really easy sharing a character with Derek. When we first met, it was kinda like an immediate click of we both had similar thoughts. We both were open to talking about the character and open to each other\u2019s opinions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think with that, we just built this character from the ground up. Luckily, I don\u2019t know how, maybe just the fact that we\u2019ve been stranded in Toronto for four months together, we managed to just take on each other\u2019s personalities sometimes. Our characteristics are pretty similar. It\u2019s been great having a partner like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

On working with the cast of Gen V, Luh has said that it has been \u201cthe greatest experience I\u2019ve ever had in my life\u201d.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI am so blessed to be a part of this cast. And to be on this set every day is magical. It really is. And we\u2019re forging such real relationships that it plays on screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, you\u2019re doing the work and the relationship is in correlation to the script. But I really feel like if I\u2019m watching Maddie get emotional, I\u2019m getting emotional, or I\u2019m watching Jaz get upset, I\u2019m getting upset with them, because we\u2019re on the same team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
