Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul aka Homielander and though I've talked about Black Noir in The Boys TV Show, I've not really touched on how he's portrayed in the comic books.

I've just finished another read through of The Boys graphic novels and have to say that this is probably one of my favourite comic book arcs of all time. So I thought I go into Black Noir so we can really get a grip on where the show could be going in the future.

Now in order to talk about him properly we have to talk about Homelander himself. The comic culminates with him turning on his masters at Vought and the villain causes a superhero uprising that ends with the supes surrounding the White House whilst he sits in the oval office holding the presidents head in his hand.

It's at this point that Mother's Milk discovers the darkest secret about the character and what really led to this moment.

We learn that Homelander was actually grown from Stomfront's DNA. Stormfront was just a kid that was injected with Compound V but Homelander was supposed to be the refined version of what a superhero could be and Vought worked on the character before he was even born.

When Homelander's mother was pregnant she was injected with copious amounts of Compound V and paid to carry it to term.

However things went awry and Homelander ripped his way out of his mothers abdomen and burned most of the scientsists alive with his laser beams.

Needless to say, Vought were completely terrified by this and thus they raised him underground with a nuke beside him at all times.

Vought put a lot of money into Homelander and they didn't really want to to pull the plug on him because of one incident so they simply kept him in their labs, watched over him and tried to impart on him social cues and how to interact as a human.

After a while they determined that they couldn't really blame a newborn baby for doing what it did and put it down as a one off mistake that isn't the childs fault.

However, they also realise that they need a contingency plan in place to kill Homelander should it ever come to it and as a bomb isn't that practical, they decide to do something different.

With Homelander's DNA profile Vought decide to build something new, something better and that is black noir.

Noir is the perfect clone of Homelander, however he doesn't disobey the company and is instead told of his one job in life which is to kill Homelander should it ever come to it.

Vought assemble the Seven and put their ultimate weapon right next to the target, leading to them possessing the perfect contingency plan should it ever come down to it.

Now Homelander has no idea and he is happy as he gets to be in charge of the group. Mirroring this, Black Noir is happy as well as he's with his target at all time and should he ever get the word, he can complete the mission that is the one reason that he exists.

Homelander actually comes to like Noir throughout their time together as all he sees is a loyal lap dog that's willing to do whatever he says no matter what.

I hope they dedicate an episode to Noir's backstory in season 3. It'll be interesting to see who goes up against him from either the Boys or the 7! 💯👏🙌👋🤙😎🍺

[SomniumHobbyist]

I'm still a bit unsure of Black Noir in the show. Since we have seen him injured a few times now.

[jamesjackson]

He's a scary yet entertaining character 😂😂💯

[JakeMatthews-OnLo]

I know this may sound dumb but Since I doubt they’re gonna use the comic twist in the show, I always wondered what if Black Noir could be Stan Edgar’s son. It could be why he is extremely loyal to Vought, acts almost as his muscle, also having a high class upbringing can explain why he can play the piano, and it could add to Stan’s coldness if he was willing to use his own child as an experiment just to sideline him as a contingency plan. Although it’s probably not likely.

The deranged evil twin reveal of Black Noir actually also kinda foreshadowed in the comics with what he did to Hughie aka sewer incident.

[NewShockerGuy]

WOW!!!?!?! I had zero clue about Black Noir. This is insane. I can only hope we see a fraction of this Arc on the show. I liked him but he was quiet and never really stood out to me, but now knowing this back story, it's crazy!

[paperback]

It'll be very interesting to see how they handle Noir's story on the show compared to the comics. Can't wait.

[shubhamchoudhary]

Black Noir is like Bruce Wayne with all the talent and a dire need of psychiatric help

[BunderChowed]

A split second is all it takes. That's why sooner or later you'll come crawling back to the Zapper...sorry black noir

[MoistMan]

Always love the breakdown and super glad I am this early. Thank you and cheers 🍻!

[gabrieljobran]

I hope we’ll see more of him and that there’s more to him, would love a freaky twist😬

[noneofyourbussines]

In the show I don't think he'll be a clone of Homelander. I think Homelanders son will be his downfall.

[TaskForce_]

I just want to see Soldier Boy in next season of Boys S3 and that fight of Homelander vs Black Noir fight.

[isaacsacco]

Do we think that Black Noir in the show is going to end up having powers held in check?
I think it would be sweet if he was a contingency plan to stop homelander and is the son of Stan Edgar

[WTDSChannelNews]

I agree with the Bizarro comparison that was a dope ass analogy

[wasimch]

Was hoping the tv show followed the same patch but given that we’ve seen a glimpse of black noir this doesn’t seem the be the case.
Although, can’t really bet against the shows creative decisions so far so I’m excited to see what’s next

[Diegower]

Ok so Paul is a clone of definition. Definition was getting to powerful, Paul was activated to take him out. Now he is masquerading as definition.
#definitiongate

[kov]

Can't wait to see what they do with him in the show

[awesomejett]

Now thinking of it noir and home lander weren’t the true villains of the boys comics, it’s basically vought, noir did horrible things yes but he was basically driven insane by the purpose of not being able to do what he’s wanted and what he was told to do.
