| ~ Black Noir revealing himself to Homelander and Billy Butcher. |
Black Noir is the main antagonist of the adult comic series The Boys.
He is a clone of the Homelander created by the Nazis and Vought-American to keep an eye on Homelander to make sure that he did not go rogue or insane, and to kill him if he did. However, years of treating his target like a friend made him go insane and commit various atrocities while dressed as Homelander to manipulate Vought into giving him the order to kill him and take his place. His actions also fueled Billy Butcher's hatred and vendetta against Homelander (after Noir raped Butcher's wife Becky while disguised as Homelander) and sparked the feud between the Seven and Boys in the first place.
While the Seven are a corrupt group of false heroes, they (for the most part) possess at least basic morals. Black Noir is an exception, being an unfeeling and soulless monster.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Becoming obsessed with his mission to terminate Homelander, Black Noir sought to frame the real Homelander just so he could get the order to kill him. Black Noir thus went on numerous rampages disguised as Homelander, in which he raped and murdered dozens of innocent people and even ate babies.
- He took photographs of his many crimes while posing as Homelander to both drive him mad and frame him for his crimes by sending them to Billy Butcher, leading him to become the sociopath that he was in the present.
- During one of his rampages, Black Noir raped and murdered Rebecca, the wife of Billy Butcher, causing his genocidal hatred of superhumans.
- Worse, even after Billy got his revenge, the pain of losing his wife never faded. He continued his goal of getting rid of superhumans and soon started going after his team, The Boys, including his long-time brother figure Hughie Campbell, who managed to be the only survivor after he killed Billy, thus making Black Noir posthumously responsible for nearly every protagonist being murdered by his victim's husband's hands, who also died as a result.
- He killed Butcher's dog, Terror, and framed it on Jack From Jupiter upon realizing that Jack hold grudges on The Boys after photos of him having sex with transgender prostitutes were published to the media. This causes Butcher to kill Jack by stabbing him multiple times violently. Even though Jack is a depraved maniac, he doesn't deserve to die for something that had nothing to do with him.
- It's mentioned during a conversation between A-Train and Homelander that he once took out an entire school bus.
- He sexually assaulted Starlight alongside Homelander and A-Train by forcing her to give them oral sex.
- He sexually assaulted Hughie inside a sewer during the Herogasm event.
- He murdered his flying instructor out of annoyance.
- Tried to force Starlight into wearing a revealing costume, only to be stopped by Queen Maeve.
- During Homelander's relationship with Queen Maeve, he had her blindfolded before Noir had sex, believing it was Homelander raping her via deception. This causes Maeve to end her relationship and become a mole for the Boys.
- He manipulated Homelander into staging a superhuman rebellion, sacking the White House and killing countless innocents in the process.
- He brutally kills Homelander after confessing to him that he framed him for various horrid crimes while disguised as him, including the rape of Rebecca Butcher, which he then admits to Billy Butcher.
- Overall, Black Noir is shown to get deep enjoyment out of his crimes and shows absolutely no remorse for any of them, so it's clear that he did all of it on his own accord instead of taking orders from Vought.
- While he clearly is insane due to slowly losing his mind from being unable to kill Homelander, it is not a moral agency issue due to his sadism as well as his willingness to kill people for no reason other than obsession.
Trivia[]
- His counterpart from the 2019 Amazon series cannot qualify as he has an entirely different backstory, where instead of being Homelander's clone, he was a former member of Payback that was abused by Soldier Boy for years before deciding to hand him over to the Russians, during which he had half his face heavily mutilated, resulting in him getting brain damage and being rendered mute. This makes him tragic, with moral agency issues, and a scapegoat on top of the fact he cares for a dead whale and finally is nowhere even remotely as heinous. Additionally, in the show, Homelander is the one who rapes Becca.
- The second Black Noir also cannot qualify due to also failing the standards along with having comedic moments and being loyal to the Seven.
