Season 2 of The Boys gave fans more insight into the Supe known as Black Noir. However, his true identity has yet to be unmasked.
In Season 2, Episode 7, fans got a quick glimpse of Black Noir's face when Maeve jammed an Almond Joy in his mouth, but it was hard to tell anything about his real identity. Black Noir actor Nathan Mitchell told Comicbook.com that he likes it that way, and enjoys the mystery surrounding the mask. He also revealed that he's okay with keeping his character masked or unmasked if that's the way the show wants to go.
Mitchell believes that there's something unique about Black Noir's mask that adds to his character. "So, I think there's space for both of those things to kind of exist and be realized," he added. "Yeah. Even in the first trailer that we released for season two, the thing that stuck out to me is, we'd see this flash of all these characters, and then you'd see Noir on this roof just perching. And even I, knowing Noir, knowing what's going on, I'm like, 'Who's that guy? What's his deal?' There is something special and unique about the mask in this mosaic of characters that really brings something different."
The synopsis for Season 2 of The Boys can be found below.
The even more intense, more insane season two finds The Boys on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought. In hiding, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher (Karl Urban) nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander (Antony Starr) sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront (Aya Cash), a social-media-savvy new Supe, who has an agenda of her own. On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia.
