Summary
Black Noir is a member of of the Seven with heightened body condition and combat skills. Silent but deadly, he is one of the Seven's fiercest enforcers, especially when the team's darkest secrets are at stake.
Silent, stealthy, and enigmatic, Black Noir is The Seven's superpowered ninja. His super strength and heightened senses are matched only by his proficiency in the martial arts. Criminals run in terror at the mere mention of his name. Little is known about this lethal warrior, other than having trained with a master Sensei to become the death dealer he is at present. Whatever lies behind Black Noir’s mask is a complete mystery – which only makes him more terrifying.
