**Emma Meyer**, also known as **Little Cricket**, is the tritagonist of the Amazon series *Gen V*, a spinoff of *The Boys*. She is a student at Godolkin University and becomes close friends with her freshman roommate, Marie Moreau.

## Background

Shortly after Emma's birth, her parents accepted Vought's offer to inject her with Compound V, subsequently transforming her into a Supe and granting her superhuman powers and abilities. Her mother was controlling her body size and measured her constantly. At an unknown point, she started a YouTube channel called "Fun Sized with Little Cricket, acting as a internet personality. In 2023, Emma enrolled into Godolkin University as a freshman and become roommates with Marie Moreau, becoming close friends with her.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Self-Size Alteration**:     Emma possesses eccentric self-size alteration abilities, enabling her to shrink to the size of an ant or grow to the size of a two-story house. Unusually enough, in order for Emma to shrink, she must empty the contents of her stomach, which is referred to as "purging," leading her to gradually shrink until she is the desired size. To return to her original size, Emma consumes food, and to get bigger, she consumes large amounts of food. However, after being scolded by Sam, she unintentionally shrinks down without purging, strongly implying that her powers are dependent on strong emotion and how she's currently feeling.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: When enlarged, Emma possesses superhuman strength that surpasses that of an average person, which is particularly impressive considering her enormous size, comparable to the height of a house. She effortlessly subdues both regular individuals and superhumans, as seen when she easily overpowered strong individuals like Sam. In one instance, she immobilized Sam by firmly grasping him with both hands, though it is unclear if Sam intentionally withheld his strength to avoid harming Emma. Despite her small size, similar to that of a mouse or even smaller like an aforementioned cricket, Emma can effortlessly jump to great heights, allowing her to enter a person's head through their ear.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Emma has an unspecified level of durability, Emma has survived jumping from great heights without any problems in her small form.
* **Superhuman Hearing**: Like all Supes, Emma has better hearing beyond that of a humans. She is able to hear certain frequencies that humans cannot.

### Abilities

* **Social Media Influencer**: Emma owns and manages a YouTube channel called "Fun Sized with Little Cricket," where she posts videos of her teenage Supe life as well as her "fights" with her pet gerbil, David Caruso. She is also said to have at least 1 million subscribers, which gives the impression that she is quite well-known.
* **Boxing**: Though yet to show her skills in pugilism, it was implied that Emma is well-versed and practiced as a boxer.

## Weaknesses

### Biological

* **High Frequencies**: Due to being a Supe, Emma is able to hear certain frequencies that humans cannot. When a specific frequency is played, it can induce immense pain and temporarily neutralize her. While a murderous rampage targeting humans was occurring at Godolkin University, she was momentarily neutralized through the use of high frequencies.
