In an effort to make Vought sanction a hit on Homelander. Noir assaults Becky while disguised as Homelander. This turns Billy into a vengeful person. Together with the rest of The Boys, he vows to take down Vought International and everything it stands for. There is no heinous act that comic Noir won't do. His attitude towards children isn't admirable either. There have been moments when a bored Noir has been seen cannibalizing children just for fun.
This is in contrast to the series Noir who spares the son of a terrorist who has been powered up by Compound V. Noir is sent on a mission to take out the terrorist at his base. There, he rips everyone else apart but spares the little boy. Like in the Amazon series, Black Noir doesn't say a word during most of his appearances in the comics. He only makes strange sounds.
Noir is a man of actions This personality makes him seem nicer than he actually is. The character only speaks at the very end before he kills Homelander and gets himself killed too. He makes a confession stating that all the heinous acts that people thought were committed by Homelander were actually committed by him. It's a shocker to everyone but not as shocking as his death. Black Noir has a complete head-to-toe black suit in the comics. It doesn't have any special designs or compartments.
Noir has been by Homelander's side for so long, unable to fulfill his singular purpose in life as long as Homelander stays relatively in line, that it drives him mad. How does this relate to the show revealing part of his face? Well, it's simple: If Black Noir is an exact copy of Homelander, then he certainly shouldn't have dark skin. For those familiar with the twist in the comics, this partial unmasking is rather convincing proof that the show will ultimately take the character in a different direction.
On the other hand, The Boys could very well do what The Boys tends to do, and adapt parts of Black Noir's comics storyline while changing enough to keep fans guessing. Black Noir could still be a clone of Homelander, or at least contain elements of Homelander's DNA, but have a different appearance--who knows what Vought's scientists are capable of? There have been some other hints throughout Season 2, as well. For example, there's the fact that Black Noir appears to be Stan Edgar's personal lapdog--Vought's CEO sends the sneaky supe on secret missions and watches everything he does through a personal bodycam.
Even if Black Noir isn't a direct clone of Homelander in the show, his purpose--a panic button Vought can hit if they need Homelander eliminated--could still be the same.
Lastly, there's the scar tissue we glimpsed in this episode. When Maeve pulls Noir's mask up, if you look closely, you can clearly see that the skin around Noir's jaw is severely scarred--almost like Deadpool's in that character's live-action incarnation. On screen, Black Noir's silent antics have won him an entire legion of fans, even though he's yet to say a single word on the show.
However, we're not so sure audiences would like him this much if they knew what lies behind that mask. In the comics, Black Noir's real identity remains a mystery right up until the end when readers discover he's actually a Homelander clone created by the Vought corporation to kill him if he steps out of line.
What the company fails to predict is that Black Noir becomes far more evil and twisted than Homelander ever was. After years of pretending to be someone he's not, Black Noir goes insane and starts committing abhorrent deeds while wearing Homelander's costume, all in an effort to discredit him. And by abhorrent, we mean murdering women and cannibalising children. We even discover that Homelander wasn't the one who raped The Butcher's wife, Becca.
That was Black Noir too, but Homelander becomes convinced he committed those crimes and just can't remember them thanks to photographic evidence which 'proves' it was him.
