| ~ Shetty explaining her plan to wipe out all Supes to General Grace Mallory. |
Dean Indira Shetty is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Cate Dunlap) in Season 1 of Gen V, a spin-off series to the Amazon Prime TV Series, The Boys. She is a behavioral scientist hired by Vought International as the dean of Godolkin University, a prestigious school for young superhumans.
After the Flight 37 incident, where Homelander let a plane full of hundreds of people die, two of whom were Shetty's husband and daughter, she developed a vendetta against him and all supes and became one of the leading masterminds behind "The Woods," an underground research operation looking to develop a deadly virus that could wipe out all supes.
She was portrayed by Shelley Conn, who also voices Mrs. Sidiqui in Dodo.
Personality[]
Indira Shetty, initially seen as a caring teacher at Godolkin University, hides a dark and manipulative side. She pretends to be a motherly figure to students, but in reality, she is cunning and driven by a strong hatred for Supes, whom she views as dangerous.
Shetty secretly works with Edison Cardosa to develop a virus aimed at eliminating Supes. Her seemingly caring demeanor is a way to manipulate students, particularly those with childhood traumas like Marie Moreau and Cate Dunlap.
While she genuinely cared for Cate and saw her as a surrogate daughter, Shetty's overall intentions are rooted in her anti-Supe agenda, making her a complex and sinister character in the story.
Biography[]
Following Vought International's cover-up of Luke and Brink's deaths and the crediting of Marie for stopping Luke, Marie forms a connection with university dean Indira Shetty. Shetty becomes a source of support for Marie as she deals with her traumatic past of unintentionally causing her parents' deaths when her powers first emerged.
Meanwhile, Andre and Cate delve into investigating Luke's demise and stumble upon evidence that Sam, Luke's brother, is being held in a hidden facility known as "the Woods," a facility secretly overseen by Shetty. Concerned about Sam's escape, Marie's friends intend to expose Shetty's involvement, leading to a confrontation with TeK Knight.
Dr. Cardosa discusses his creation of a power-controlling virus with Shetty and expresses his desire to use it on Marie, but Shetty declines his involvement. This raises suspicions about Shetty's intentions, especially as she closely monitors Marie's activities.
As they continue their investigation of the Woods, Marie and her friends experience unexplained amnesia and uncover tracking devices implanted in their necks. Marie grows wary of Shetty and Rufus' involvement. When Marie confronts Cate about her findings, Cate apologizes and erases Marie's memory once more.
Jordan helps Marie recover her memories, and Emma reveals that Cate has been using her mind-control power to manipulate Luke and erase his existence from Sam's memory. Emma contacts Marie and Jordan to expose the truth. After restoring everyone's memories, Cate experiences a seizure that inadvertently traps Marie, Jordan, and Andre within her mind.
During their time in Cate's mind, they discover disturbing memories, including Cate's involvement in erasing Luke's suspicions and manipulating his memory. They eventually break free from Cate's mental trap. Sam arrives, and Emma reveals Shetty's role in enhancing Luke's powers and experimenting on children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Cardosa tests his virus on an electrokinetic girl, leading to her sickness, weakening of her powers, and eventual death. Shetty instructs him to make the virus contagious, posing a severe threat to supes.
Marie and Jordan gather evidence from Shetty's office to present to Victoria Neuman, a politician who visits Godolkin University. During the meeting, they discover that Shetty's family died in a plane crash caused by Homelander. An intoxicated Cardosa unwittingly reveals his virus project to Shetty in her office, unaware of Marie and Jordan's presence. Shetty contemplates global dissemination of the virus to eliminate all supes but is met with resistance from Colonel Grace Mallory.
Cate confronts Shetty, forcing her to disclose the truth about the Woods and its creator, Thomas Godolkin, along with her motivation for creating the virus. However, Shetty attempts to manipulate Cait by claiming she was genuinely like a daughter to her in the wake of her family's death. Cardosa provides a virus sample to Neuman, who subsequently eliminates him to prevent the virus's knowledge from spreading. When the rest of the group arrive at Shetty's house, they find Cait has hypnotized Shetty, who reveals the truth to the entire group, including her desire to commit super genocide. Cait then has Shetty slit her throat.
