Gen V has no shortage of standout characters, but few are as fascinating as Jordan Li.
The shapeshifting Supe who can switch between male and female forms brings something truly unique to the superhero genre.
The female form of Jordan Li is portrayed by London Thor, a Korean-American actress and singer-songwriter who brings warmth, vulnerability, and quiet strength to the role. Along with actor Derek Luh, who plays Jordan's male form, Thor helps bring this dual character to life as one of the most layered personalities in Gen V's chaotic world.
The duality of power: Jordan Li’s identity in Gen V
What makes Gen V so gripping is how it takes the polished image of superheroes and flips it inside out. Jordan Li embodies that perfectly. As a student at Godolkin University and a former T.A. to Professor Brinkerhoff, Jordan is driven, talented, and constantly juggling between the two sides of themselves.
Their very ability to switch between their male and female form is a part of who they are as a person. Their character represents fluidity, identity, and self-acceptance in a world consumed by labels.
Jordan's story is also one of quiet rebellion. Born after their parents agreed to inject them with Compound V, Jordan grew up under pressure to "fit in." But instead of conforming, they learned to own their difference.
That confidence makes them stand out among their peers, especially when standing on par with stronger Supes. It's this balance between strength and vulnerability that makes Jordan's character one of Gen V's emotional anchors.
The show doesn't treat their identity as a gimmick but as a powerful narrative thread that adds emotional depth to the chaos.
London Thor: The voice and face behind the female Jordan
London Thor brings remarkable nuance to Jordan Li's female form in Gen V. Born and raised in Agoura Hills, California, London comes from a family of filmmakers. Acting and music were always in her blood.
Before her superhero days, she was known for her music collaborations with DJs like Gareth Emery and TyDi, proving she's a creative force who thrives on versatility. Her previous screen credits included Shameless, You, and The Girl on the Train. However, her breakout role was Gen V, as it gave her the space to shine like never before.
London has described playing Jordan as one of her most challenging yet rewarding roles. Sharing a character with another actor is rare, but for Thor, it was a creative dance. She and Derek Luh worked closely to ensure that both versions of Jordan felt like one cohesive person.
Her portrayal is thoughtful but never exaggerated, never hollow. She captures the subtle conflicts that come with being seen as two people while still being one soul. What makes her performance resonate is how she brings empathy to every scene. Jordan's strength doesn't come from their powers-it comes from their humanity, and Thor channels that beautifully.
Behind the Scenes: The Making of a Modern Superhero
For London Thor, Gen V wasn't just another acting gig, but was a playground for growth. She's admitted that she's a "superhero nerd," making this role a dream come true.
But it wasn't all capes and conviction. The role came with stunts, blood, and fight choreography that tested her level of persistence and imagination. She once joked that one of her biggest on-set lessons was learning how to get fake blood off her skin after long days of shooting the show.
What's so special about Gen V is its cast, and London often credits her co-stars for making the experience unforgettable. She described the set as "cohesive and kind." Her natural chemistry with Derek Luh made the shared role of Jordan even more seamless.
Off-screen, Thor's artistic side continues to thrive-she's a songwriter whose tracks have appeared in shows and films, adding another layer to her creative portfolio. In many ways, her artistic identity mirrors Jordan's: fluid and always evolving.
London Thor's portrayal of Jordan Li's female form in Gen V captures its ability to mix superhero spectacle with emotional honesty.
Through her, Jordan becomes more than just a student at Godolkin University; they're a symbol of duality and strength.
