Meet "Black Noir" (#TheBoys)

ADDED:


COMICBOOK-SOURCE: "Black Noir is a long-time member of the Seven, almost always shown in silhouette with his face obscured. His powers include super strength and supposed skills as a pilot. He is stronger than even the Homelander... While initially an enigma, it is revealed at the climax of the series that the Black Noir is actually a clone of the Homelander, developed by Vought-American as a contingency in case the leader of the Seven became a liability. Black Noir was ordered by VA to be close to the Homelander at all times, and to assassinate him if the company deemed it necessary. This mission (which entails being in close proximity to his "enemy" for decades, yet forbidden to fulfill his designated goal) drives Black Noir completely insane, leading him to develop a sadistic streak just as disturbing as — if not more so than — the other members of the Seven. His apparent madness even impairs his locution and facial mobility, forcing him to babble and often repeat himself while constantly smiling from ear to ear." (Read more here and here)


THE BOYS TV: In the TV adaptation, Nathan Mitchell is behind the black mask. Unknown if at all if the TV-adaptation would follow the "clone"-aspect, nor would actor Antony Starr ever show his "face" ... although this is hardly something that would be revealed in the first season of "The Boys", innit? :p
