The Big Reveal: No Clone Twist

It was recently confirmed by Eric Kripke, in an interview, the series will not follow the graphic novel plotline where Black Noir was exposed as Homelander’s cloned version. For comic readers, this is quite a surprising turn of events as it complicates matters even more.

What Kripke said though was; ‘No!’ And I have no problem saying that because he really is just an exact copycat from Homelander in those comic books even though I’m certain my decision may disappoint some die-hards.

Why This Change Makes Sense

Though some of its enthusiasts may be disappointed, this alteration actually fits in with the program’s special narrative style. Throughout “The Boys,” the superheroic behavior has been located in a very dirty and almost real-life setting.

Avoiding the clone narrative ensures the series stays unique but does not take it to what he terms as ‘magical’. This decision makes sure continuity of the series’ novelty and uncertainty.

This modification allows for fresh and innovative storyline twists capable of making us know more about who exactly Black Noir is and what he plays among The Seven.
