Warning: The following episode contains main spoilers for Season 1, Episode Eight of The Boys Presents: Diabolical.
Superheroes (or 'supes') do exist in the another way customary world of The Boys, the hit Prime Video original series. However, the supes of the world are actually somewhat corrupt, with Homelander (Antony Starr) being the worst hero of all. Not handiest did Homelander let an entire plane full of civilians crash in The Boys Season 1, he lied about what came about to offer protection to his image. That's his more or less heroism.
In the Season 1 finale of The Boys Presents: Diabolical, an animated by-product of the unique series, we get to see Homelander earlier than he was the homicidal, volatile chief of the Seven. He's partnered up with Black Noir, a fellow member of the Seven who is silent however deadly. After Homelander loses it on his first legit mission, Black Noir writes something on a notebook, and it places a panicked Homelander relaxed.
But what exactly did Black Noir write?
Homelander seems a lot happier with Black Noir after studying his be aware.
After Homelander's first public creation to the arena, which is interrupted by means of Black Noir for causes unknown to Homelander, Madelyn Stillwell (Elizabeth Shue) warns Homelander not to let Black Noir scouse borrow his thunder. As a end result, Homelander jumps into his first venture at a chemical plant as a substitute of looking forward to Black Noir like he was ordered to do. Unfortunately, this leads to the extremely volatile Homelander by chance slaughtering the very civilians he was supposed to save lots of.
Initially, Homelander feels remorseful, but then he sets his deadly laser eyes on the remaining survivor. When Black Noir intercepts the survivor as an alternative, Homelander panics and assumes he's been busted. But what happens subsequent is a huge wonder. Covering for his comrade, Black Noir snaps the neck of the rest survivor. (Did we mention those superheroes are not that heroic?)
Completely unfazed after murdering an blameless civilian, Black Noir whips out a notepad, writes one thing briefly, and shows it to Homelander. However, the notice flashes so temporarily on the screen that it's inconceivable to peer what it says. We may make out the word "I'm"... but that is about it.
That said, it is closely implied that Black Noir's observe helped Homelander understand how to spin the location to their merit. Homelander's professional PR spin for the Seven's terrible errors, including the aircraft crash, is a not unusual occurrence in The Boys. So, used to be it Black Noir that gave Homelander his first lesson in injury regulate? It turns out most probably. Homelander explains to the clicking that he tried to prevent a bomb on the chemical plant, but it surely was once an excessive amount of and precipitated an explosion.
With his classic charm that is ever-present in The Boys, Homelander waves off the clicking, who're calling him a hero for seeking to stop the (pretend) bomb.
"Those hostages, they were the real heroes," Homelander says on digital camera, having a look dramatically off into the space.
But Black Noir has a huge secret. (Spoilers ahead!)
Black Noir is actually Homelander's clone in the original comedian book collection The Boys. Per ScreenRant, Black Noir commits numerous the terrible things that Homelander thinks he did. As a result, Homelander believes himself to be a psychopath. In many ways, he is one on his personal, however Black Noir makes it worse.
Given that The Boys's showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed that The Boys Presents: Diabolical Season 1 finale is indubitably canon (per CinemaBlend), we couldn't lend a hand however wonder whether Black Noir has served as Homelander's clone and PR agent from the very start. What do you assume?
