Black Noir is one of the most talented Supes in The Boys given his placement on The Seven, but how powerful is he really? Viewers first met the mysterious non-speaking Black Noir in season 1 of The Boys. With an all-black costume that conceals what he looks like, there is a lot about Black Noir that is not known. Season 1 didn’t give the character too much to do, so it was up to season 2 to flesh out his story and strengths.

The Boys season 2 put Black Noir on the hunt for Billy Butcher and The Boys. He took a special interest in finding them and used Vought’s resources to track them down, seeing Butcher leave where Becca was being held and following them to Billy’s aunt’s house. As a Supe, the Boys pose no threat to Black Noir in their fight, but he is held in check by Vought CEO Stan Edgar. The great level of obedience Black Noir shows towards Vought is the only thing stopping him from using the full extent of his powers as he sees fit, and he’s got plenty of superpowers at his disposal.

Black Noir is an expert fighter with all the bonuses of being a superhero. His superhuman strength allowed him to disembowel Kimiko in season 1 and overpower Starlight in season 2. He is also incredibly durable, as he was barely affected by Kimiko’s superstrength and survived big, close-up explosions on multiple occasions with only some burn marks on his face. Part of what helps set Black Noir apart is his faster than normal healing and is seemingly immune from pain. With superhuman agility, hearing, and speed (but not to A-Train’s level), Black Noir’s expertise in hand-to-hand combat and with weapons makes him an incredibly powerful (and dangerous) hero.

The powers of Black Noir are slightly different in The Boys than they are in the comics. The source material made Black Noir a clone of Homelander created by Vought to kill the leader of The Seven if needed. However, The Boys season 2 proved this Black Noir twist will not happen. It also added a new weakness to him, as the lethal Supe is deathly allergic to nuts. This was inspired by the real-life allergy of Nathan Mitchell, who plays Black Noir in The Boys.

For as powerful as Black Noir is, this nut allergy is ultimately what brought him down in The Boys season 2. Queen Maeve shoved an Almond Joy into his mouth to stop him from attacking Starlight and kicked his EpiPen out of reach. The nut attack didn’t kill Black Noir, but he was left in a vegetative state at the end of The Boys season 2. He is expected to return in season 3 of the show, though, so perhaps some of Black Noir’s superhuman abilities will help him make a full recovery.
