How Black Noir Is Alive In The Boys Season 3

Queen Maeve didn’t just defeat Black Noir, she placed him in an allergic coma and left his life hanging in the balance. Something feels off about The Boys season 3 virtually ignoring that storyline and having Noir make a full recovery off-screen with no obvious consequences whatsoever after Maeve’s attack. At the very least, wouldn’t Noir want revenge on the woman who forced Almond-y goodness upon him? One possible explanation is that some Vought stuntman is parading around as Black Noir for public events, keeping the PR train moving, but there’s only so long the pretense of a powerless Black Noir could be maintained. Instead, The Boys season 3 could be adapting a key story from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s original comics. The source material shockingly reveals Noir was a Homelander clone from the very beginning. We know that’s not the case in Amazon’s The Boys because Noir is a Black man, but season 2’s incident might’ve allowed Stan Edgar to make a switcheroo. Is the real Noir still in a coma, and the version currently in The Boys season 3 is a masked Homelander copy?

Not only would this explain Black Noir’s comeback after being stuffed with Almond Joy, it’d account for his distinct lack of lust for vengeance against Queen Maeve. We’ve also seen conspicuously little from Black Noir in The Boys season 3’s opening episodes (the present day timeline, at least) and that could be because the Seven supe is a different character now, and too much screen time would clue viewers into his secret too early. Most importantly, incorporating Black Noir’s “recovery” as some kind of hidden Vought conspiracy justifies leaving the character in a coma at the end of The Boys season 2 far better than the “Silent Knight” simply getting better off-screen between seasons.
