In the comic series, Noir is revealed to be a [[cloning|clone]] of the [[Homelander]] and enhanced with [[Stormfront (character)|Stormfront]]'s DNA, created to replace him if he ever went rogue. Driven insane by a lack of purpose, Noir resolved to frame the Homelander for various atrocities as part of a plan to gradually drive him insane and replace him. However, he is ultimately killed by [[Billy Butcher]]. In the television series adaption, Noir, portrayed by [[Nathan Mitchell]] and Fritzy-Klevans Destine, is instead depicted as a brain-damaged [[African Americans|African-American]] Supe named '''Earving''', who is loyal to Vought CEO Stan Edgar. In ''[[The Boys Presents: Diabolical]]'', Noir is depicted guiding the Homelander in his early career.
