Spoilers below for not only The Boys Season 2, but also a major late-game twist from the comic book series, so be warned!
The Boys Season 2 that gave audiences slightly deeper looks into Black Noir’s mysterious existence, or at the very least, Season 2 made it easier for audiences to make heightened inferences.
The latter might not have immediately seemed like a key narrative detail for those who haven’t read The Boys’ comics, but for readers waiting for a particular comic twist, it was a total game-changer.
Episode 7, “Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker,” was quite a revealing one for the silent-but-extremely-deadly supe, revealing that not only is he highly allergic to tree nuts, but also that he is a Black man.
