Everyone is hoping Black Noir’s return in The Boys season 4 doesn’t copy a controversial twist from the comics
Who is Black Noir?♕ The Boys season 4 mi🐎ght reveal all...

Welcome back, Black Noir. The mysterious member of The Seven is glimpsed briefly in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the first trailer for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Boys season 4 despite seemingly being killed off – and it’s got some comic book fans worried that the Prime Video series will ဣcopy the comic’s d🌄ivisive identity reveal.
MAJOR spoilers for The Boys comic – and potentially the Prime Video series – to follow. You have been warned!
In the comics, written by Garth Ennis and co-created by Darick Robertson, it is revealed that Black Noir is a clone of Homelander, essentially designed as a failsafe in case the real Homelander ever stepped out of line. He then steps up as the💦 Big Bad of the series, framing Homelander for raping Billy Butcher’s wife Becky and committing several other heinous acts.
Understandably, Black Noir’s sudde♛n🍒 return – as you can see below – has got fans concerned about the show going down the Homelander route.

I’ve wondered about this. The original comic hinges on the Black Noir/Homelander reveal. So far the show has improved on the story by going a different direction. TV Homelander is one of the most iconic villains of the last 20 years. Going with the🀅 comic twist would ruin that BUT //t.co/QwvdqBzwK8
sa🍰d thing is… black noir might be a clone of homelander’s //t.co/HU6iPquybN
While The Boys has largely deviated from its source material, there are ways to work around how Black Noir – played by Nathan Mitchell in the show, including season 4 – could be a Homelander clone. His incapacitation thanks to a peanut allergy in the second season, for example, certainly paves the way for Vought to slide in a clone ꦰreplacement without anyone knowing.
The plot thickens further thanks to🐎 a 2022 interview with in which show creato🍌r Eric Kripke addressed Black Noir’s death.
“Here’s what I’ll say without spoiling anything, which is that particular individual who🍨 is Black Noir is🐬 dead. His organs are out all over the place, but when you have a completely silent, completely masked-clad hero, they’re reasonably easy to recast,” Kripke said at the time.

After all, can you name a better reason for a jar of Homelander’s *ahem* hair to be lying around in The Boys season 4 trailer? We didn&♔rsquo;t think so.
Of course, Black Noir’s history in the show woulℱd make this a little more complicated – and potentially controversial. From what the show has told us, we already know he’s a Black man called Earving who joined Soldier Boy’s Payback team. Hand-waving that all away in favor of a twist designed almost solely for shock factor just doesn't feel like the right way to go. Still, we’ll (likely) have an answer when The Boys season 4 hits our screens in 2024.
