Jordan Li

* Male
* Female

―Jordan Li to their father.[src]

**Jordan Li** is a main character of the Amazon series *Gen V*, a spin-off series of *The Boys*. They are a competitive student at Godolkin University and Professor Brinkerhoff's former T.A.

## Background

Very little is known about Jordan's early life; however, shortly after their birth, their parents accepted Vought's offer to inject them with Compound V, subsequently transforming them into a Supe and granting them superhuman powers and abilities. They regularly used their ability to change between the two sexes in civilian life, as they identify as bigender and use all pronouns, despite their parents' disapproval due to being born male. Jordan later enrolled in Godolkin University and met Richard Brinkerhoff of College of Crimefighting. Brink helped Jordan grow comfortable with their powers and the two formed a friendship.

At an unspecified time, Jordan overheard an argument between Brink and Luke. Luke claimed he remembered "what he saw" and demanded Brink tell him the truth. Jordan entered Brink's office and Luke demanded Brink tell him where Sam is. Before Luke ignited, Jordan grabbed a sedation mask and incapacitated Luke. Brink thanked Jordan for their intervention, but Jordan inquired what Brink was doing to Luke. Brink explained Luke was undergoing power enhancement injections and sometimes he has a "bad reaction.” Jordan then demanded injections as well, but Brink claimed they didn't need it. Brink instead offered Jordan the position of his new T.A., to always protect him and to keep this incident covered. Jordan ecstatically accepted the role and became Brink's new "Gatekeeper.”

## *The Boys* Series

### Gen V: Season 1

#### "God U."

Jordan Li is first seen outside of Brink’s office when Marie Moreau comes up to them and demands to see Brink due to her being rejected from his class. Jordan brushes Marie’s demand off by telling her that they were the ones who decided to have Marie rejected from Brink’s class as his T.A. Shortly after, Brink appears and tests Jordan’s reflexes by shooting them with a revolver. This makes Jordan switch into their male form, absorbing the bullet. Jordan is seen later on when Andre Anderson invites Marie to go out with him, Luke Riordan, Cate Dunlap, and Jordan. While introducing Marie to everyone, Jordan interrupts by coldly saying that they’ve met Marie only for her to ask if they were going to reject her from their outing. Jordan states that he would love to but is quickly shut down by Andre. They all go out to a club and begin to do molly. Jordan and the rest begin to tell Marie to try the molly. Later on, after Andre accidentally slits a women's throat, Jordan is telling Andre and Marie that they all need to leave now. Marie stays behind and saves the woman’s life using her powers. The next day, Jordan is seen leaving Brink’s office and passes by Luke who is making his way towards Brink. After Marie witnesses Luke killing Brink, she runs away while Luke is chasing her and bumps into Jordan in the hallway. Jordan stands in between Marie and Luke asking what he is doing and to relax. Luke ominously says to Jordan “You’re in on it too,” leading to him attacking Jordan. Jordan tells Marie to run as they hold off Luke in a fight, switching between their male and female forms. Eventually, Luke overwhelms Jordan and chokes them out until they are unconscious.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Gender Transformation**: Jordan possesses quick-acting gender transformation abilities; they can shift between male and female forms, each with their own set of powers.
	+ **Energy Blasts**: While in their female form, Jordan can release blasts of energy from their palms. These blasts, which take the form of a pale energy pulse, have the capability of stunning, throwing, and killing humans and Supes. Jordan can also control the intensity of these blasts.
	+ **Superhuman Agility**:     In their female form, Jordan is significantly more agile than humans, making them more adept at evading and responding to attacks. They effortlessly and swiftly dodged life threatening punches from Luke and Sam.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: In female form, Jordan possesses superhuman durability, making them more durable than humans and some Supes. They withstood being thrown into glass and concrete walls. Unlike their male form, Jordan is not indestructible in their female form.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor**: In their female form, Jordan possesses a limited but rapid, accelerated healing factor. They can recuperate from cuts, bruises, and lacerations.
* **Indestructibility**:      In their male form, Jordan possesses indestructibility, meaning they are physically impervious to all forms of damage and unable to feel physical pain. Because of this, it is nearly impossible for external physical forces to move them.
* **Superhuman Strength**: In both of their forms, Jordan possesses superhuman strength, which makes them stronger than humans and most Supes. They were a top ranked student at Godolkin University, making them one of the more physically powerful Supes on campus. They are strong enough to unintentionally kill another Supe.
* **Superhuman Hearing**: Like all Supes, Jordan has better hearing beyond that of a humans. They're able to hear certain frequencies that humans cannot.

### Abilities

* **Skilled Combatant**: As a crime fighting major, Jordan has received training in the basics of hand-to hand combat and is a skilled fighter, holding their own against Golden Boy for a prolonged time, and overwhelming a gaggle of students in a fight and held their own against the Wood’s supes. Jordan has only been defeated by multiple opponents or Supes of greater power like Sam or Luke.

## Weaknesses

### Biological

* **Blunt Force/Limited Durability**: Despite being indestructible in their male form, Jordan can be strangled and knocked unconscious by Supes with immense superhuman strength. During their fight with Luke, Jordan was choked into unconsciousness. Furthermore, their internal organs are identical to those of a normal human's, which means Supes with immense physical strength, such as Homelander, can circumvent their limited superhuman durability in their female form and destroy their internal organs. After their fight with Luke, Jordan is seen badly bruised in their female form.
* **High Frequencies**: Due to being a Supe, Jordan is able to hear certain frequencies that humans cannot. When a specific frequency is played, it can induce immense pain and temporarily neutralize them. While a murderous rampage targeting humans was occuring at Godolkin University, they were momentarily neutralized through the use of high frequencies.
