| ~ Noir to Homelander |
Summary
Black Noir is a mysterious member of the Seven, who is in fact a clone of Homelander created by Vought-American to destroy Homelander should he ever spiral out of the corporation's control. However, years of being forced to cooperate with his target, not being allowed to kill him, drove Noir insane, committing highly atrocious acts before framing Homelander for them. This included the violation and death of Billy Butcher's wife, which lead to Billy's extreme vendetta against supes.

Likely, due to him being a generic clone of Homelander:

Durability: At least Small Building level, possibly City Block level (Tanked the explosion of the Noir-Jet, took attacks from Homelander and while already heavily injured he survived a massive barrage of specialized anti-V military weaponry before being finished off by Billy. Far superior to the Deep, who feared Noir's mere presence despite likely not knowing his abilities)
Stamina: Superhuman
Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters with abilities
Standard Equipment: None notable
