Considering his face was still scared and disfigured safe to say he couldn't completely recover from the beating soldier boy gave him

[@Bopmyglizz]

He could recover, it seems his healing power leaves scarring after damage. Becuz its just like when your burn ur skin bad, it heals but leaves a mark

I mean, he was burned horribly but his skull healed. I imagine if Kimiko were burned the same way she’d be scared too.

[@arbhall7572]

Soldier boys radiation is why Noir never recovered from those particular injuries but healed from pretty much everything else.

[@botobop]

The saddest part about Black Noir in the Amazon series, is that the beating Soldier Boy gave him did more than leave him mute, it most likely regressed his mental state to that of a childs. The way he spells, is constantly doodling, imaginary friends, and so on are what give me that conclusion.

[@bridgenorton537]

That’s called brain damage, tends to occur after your head is bashed in

[@ccolton9]

I always thought it was a PTSD thing and not a mental regression

[@tristandaries1129]

I think that Black Noir is even sadder than you’re making him out to be. In the flashback with Edgar, he’s clearly chatty and quick witted, and even til the news about V broke, he was still very in touch with his emotions. I think he’s a kind soul trapped behind his body, he wants to talk to others but is physically incapable, which led to him becoming the cold, heartless killer due to the isolation

What I find curious is that Noir in Homelander's first mission came up with the explosion trap, tying the terrorist to an explosive tank knowing that Homelander would cut through him, and to give that specific lie to the press, despite severe brain damage. That, or Edgar already was in his ear by that time, in which case Edgar knew Homelander was a failure already from his first mission.

[@MiniScum]

This, everyone is saying that he regressed mentally to the age of a 7 year old, but does a 7 year old think of these clever ways to stay alive versus Homelander? In the video it even says that he is an experienced superhero/killer, so he just didnt lose any of that?

[@SSName]

⁠@@MiniScumThat episode of The Boys Diabolical is different from The Boys Amazon series. The Boys Diabolical take place in the comics which has many differences, including Black Noir as a character. I don’t wanna spoil, but comic/Diabolical Black Noir doesn’t have the brain damage the show Black Noir has. Assuming you watched the other episodes of Diabolical, you might have noticed Huey looking completely different. That’s because in the comics, he is modeled after Simon Pegg, the actor who would end up playing Huey’s father in the Amazon series. Or his power is super brain damage, lose all normal function, but keep mass murder skill set.

His brain never healed, his burns didnt heal- I just think he doesnt feel pain and the V keeps him going no matter what.

My theory is for sure him healing from Homelander kill but having even further brain damage maybe on some zombie shit. I think Noir’s healing factor is what is supposed to set him apart and that’s the best way to show that imo

[@Silverblade416]

Plausible. His regeneration isn't perfect, even before Soldier Boy rocked his shit. Maybe his injury from Homelander might still heal, but maybe reduce his brain into nothing. . . Because the brain is also involved in the healing process. . . But Noir's brain is already literally damaged.

@@Silverblade416he doesn’t regenerate as such he has enhanced healing as all supes with physical enhancements do, A train pulling a train with leg braces , star light getting her tracker cut out, maeve before and after she gets depowered says “ah I’ll have to get used to not healing in a day or two” His is on the higher end but is not regeneration or unique to him, like kimiko I’ll explain: regeneration is perfectly replacing damaged cells something the human body doesn’t naturally do (except the liver) average supes that get enhanced physical abilities seem to have perfect healing like spider man given enough time they will make a full recovery without lasting effects as long as they don’t die or have something cut off or completely destroyed will recover better and faster than anyone could there are people in real life who don’t produce scar tissue or therefore scar unless you rip out or burn a large chunk the body can’t replace , fire also interrupts the healing/ distress signal process too but the average enhanced individual cannot grow back limbs or organs Like stormfront becoming a nugget and having scars That Would just kill most people and taken multiple years and operations to get to that point as a scarred nugget even and the skin wasn’t replaced perfectly which brings me to my next point the average person or supe doesn’t regenerate cells they replace them with collagen and an imperfect “patch” cell where possible that lacks complex structures like hair follicles and pores but mostly collagen scar tissue, there are people who don’t produce scar tissue and therefore don’t scar unless the injury is very extreme as I say the average supe that heals fast likely has some variation of that, noir is wayyy more durable than a normal person and mentally unhinged he either disassociates and therefore doesn’t care about pain or just has a high threshold But that’s why when you se his face or hand it’s a mess of “scars” imperfect cells as replacements, likely has some enhanced capacity for this beyond normal too but mostly he’s just past caring from what I can gather so messed up already no face etc, new scars don’t bother him, heals fast enough to just tank it with armour and well enough it doesn’t slow him down too much in the long run

sorry lil bro he is not tek knight

[@AlphaEngineer2022]

@@ChronicSynchronizer who knows, the real tech night could be killed off in gen v and get replaced. Although I’ve heard black noir is coming back for season 4. Honestly you never know what’s coming with this show🙈

@@AlphaEngineer2022 fair enough, this show has definitely switched my expectations before

He’s like the transformers prime sound wave to homelander messed up megaton in a way

[@mrcrackcocanas4671]

Black noir in the comics was the one who did the bad things not Homelander, if you even saw clips black noir says he took them and dressed up as Homelander

[@valkyracat457]

My the most favourite character of all.

[@shamrock4578]

spoiler for the show bn is a one of many clones they made after paidbacks fall. since hes brain damaged hes easier to clone. same like the comics about bringing heroes back from the dead.

[@chadbinette3201]

So noir can survive an explosion in his face and walk it off but a gut punch killed him? I hope soldier boy returns in season 4 and wears the noir costume just to f--k with homelander.

Wish there was a major spoiler warning for the ending of the comics but good vid.

We don't need spoilers for decade old content

🤡 the comic been out for nearly 20 years and the shows been out for at least 3 years you had enough time don't need to say spoiler alert

He probably doesn’t have full blown age regression, just that it only occurs along side his PTSD. His ability to speak however has been completely hindered, as well as some cognitive functions.

[@ItsTheRevWasTaken]

Fun fact: in french, ‘noir’ translates to black. His name is essentially Black Black

[@foundedcolt2645]

I always considered black noir a Batman of the boys universe

[@bigmacatackkk5737]

It’s weird that Noir got burned due to Soldier Boy burning his face on “A CAR” but took a full on point blank range explosion from the Terrorist supe villain

helmet was off

@@ZekeReloaded yea I get that the helmet was off but he’s strong as fuck & getting burned by a damn car is just beyond ridiculous! Like I can throw you through a brick wall without you breaking bones but you can get burned by a damn car

We were lied to..again. Stan Edgar is the original Black Noir. The reason he's not afraid of homelander or the head popper.

[@StevDoesBigJumps]

It's weird that he somehow lacks the brain plasticity to recover from his brain damage in 40 years.

[@reignsva8952]

Anyone who's watched the show already knows all these details though? You haven't even mentioned any background details/events about the character.

[@exonymousprime]

From everything I've seen of the comic's and the show, the show does a better job of telling the story

[@D00M3R-SK8]

This is exclusive to the TV show. In the Comics, Black Noir is a clone of Homelander. I thought it was handled well though... This is how you race swap a character, and actually do it properly. They fully rewrote him, with an interesting story.

[@TGP795]

This hitting a lil too close to home at 7:12 to 7:29 😂

[@feroniks366]

maybe if black noir wore his fucking helmet to fight the STRONGEST HERO at the time he would be able to talk still

[@Therathmataz]

That is the primary tragedy, wanting to be free of it trapped him in it forever.

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

So, it seems that in the comics, Black Noir is the real main antagonist of the story since he instigated the entire conflict by assaulting Becca.

[@Rev792]

It be funny black noir is the only one that takes out home lander
