The quantized fermions obey a Clifford algebra, $\{{\hat{\psi }}^a,{\hat{\psi }}^b\}=g^{ab}$. When $M$ is a spin manifold, they act on the spinor bundle andthe Hilbert space of square-integrable spinor fields. The supercharge becomes the Dirac operator, the Hamiltonian is one half of its square, and because $M$ is even dimensional, $(-1{)}^F$ is the spinor chirality operator.
