Black Noir (The Boys TV Show)/Gewsbumpz dude

## Summary:

**Earving**, better known as **Black Noir**, was once one of the Supes in the superhero group, Payback. A young African American man who worked under *Vought American*, but wanted to do more, become a star and be open with his ethnicity to the public. His attempts at gaining these dreams were thwarted by the leader of Payback, Soldier Boy, as he thought he wasn't fit to be a movie star. He and his team were subjected to Soldier Boy's abuse until one day when they were shipped out to Nicaragua in 1984, to assist the CONTRA fighters against the Sandinstas. A young Stan Edgar approached him with an offer to get rid of Soldier Boy and hand him to the Russian, as Vogelbaum was developing a new superhero who he believed would be even stronger, and he can even fly. Once the camp was attacked, him and the rest of Payback attacked Soldier Boy. Before they were able to incapacitate him, Soldier Boy pinned Black Noir's face to the scolding hood of a burning car, before smashing his shield over his head, cracking it open and removing a bit of his brain, scarring him forever.

Years later, The Seven formed, replacing Payback as the best superhero team. Black Noir joined The Seven and acted as their superpowered ninja. Silent, stealthy and enigmatic. Working for *Vought* with the utmost loyalty, using his proficiency in martial arts, super strength and razor-sharp hearing. A true death dealer, and a complete mystery.

## Information:

**Name**: Earving (Real name, unknown last name), Black Noir, Silent Knight

**Age**: Unknown (Has been around since the early 1980s)

**Gender**: Male

**Source**: The Boys (TV Series)

**Power Scale**: At least **9-B**, likely **8-C**

**Classification**: Human, Superhero, Ninja, Member of The Seven (Currently), Member of Payback (Formerly)

**Notable Abilities**: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Conventional Weaponry (Knives, throwing knives, daggers and grenades), Weapon Mastery, Martial Arts (His superstrength and heightened senses are only matched by his proficiency with the martial arts, with him having trained with a master sensei to become the lethal warrior he is today. Easily overwhelms and outskills Starlight. Starlight has been training for her entire life, taken classes in Taekwondo and easily dispatches trained *Vought* mercenaries), Skilled Pilot, Enhanced Senses (Is said to have heightened senses, such as razor-sharp hearing. Can work in total darkness with no issue), Intimidation (The mere mentioning of his name strikes fear into the hearts of harden criminals, causing them to run in terror), Status Effect Inducement (Is armed with tear gas. Tear gas are chemicals that cause skin, respiratory and eye irritation. Causing chest tightness, coughing, a choking sensation, wheezing, shortness of breath, blurred vision, difficulty swallowing and a burning sensation in the eyes, mouth and nose. It can even cause chemical burns, allergic reactions and respiratory distress), Smoke Manipulation via smoke bombs, Sleep Manipulation and Paralysis Inducement (Has smoke bombs that emit chemicals that can render humans unconscious practically instantly), Acrobatics (Can perform high jumps and flips), limited Regeneration (Low-Mid; Compound V seems to grant the user with an enhanced healing factor. Such as when it healed Hughie of his broken arm, or when Starlight recovered from being shot into the chest twice, seemingly into the heart), Stealth Mastery (Black Noir's signature skill set is stealth. Managed to infiltrate the hideout of Naqib without being detected. Snuck up on Starlight and Queen Maeve. Even snuck up on Homelander, who has superhuman hearing that allows him to accurate tell the blood pressure of others, hear through cameras and hear at 200,000 Hz)

**Energy Capacity**: At least **Wall Scale+** (Killed Naqib, decapitating him with just a knife. Naqib with his self-detonation causes massive fiery explosions that can destroy huts, which would be worth 70 Kilojoules. Matched and defeated Kimiko in combat, who is able to shrug off an assault from A-Train, smashing her through a wall, and even broke his leg. A-Train was able to obliterate Robin by running through her, which would be worth 507 Kilojoules. A weakened A-Train was able to fight The Deep, who is this durable. Kimiko is also able to casually snap human necks, which would be worth 13 Kilojoules. Smashed Starlight through a stone wall and a stone pillar. Managed to overwhelm Starlight twice, who was able to blast open a steel door. Starlight can also easily punch through brick. Shouldn't be overwhelmingly weaker than Queen Maeve, as he was able to kidnap her and she found it easier to exploit his allergy than to actually fight him. Queen Maeve destroyed a truck by standing in front of it. Easily overpowers Billy Butcher and almost KO'd him in one shot, who beforehand broke a gravestone in half, which would be worth 84 Kilojoules. Billy Butcher was also able to go toe to toe with Translucent, who tanked being hit by a car, said impact also destroyed the front of Hughie's store. As part of The Seven, he should be one of the strongest Supes in the world, which would make him stronger than the laser baby, who would be able to generate 10.6 Megajoules of energy. Easily ripped a man's head open from the mouth, which would involve ripping off the jaw which would be worth 13.9 Kilojoules. Before Homelander and ever since Soldier Boy, he was the number one hero of *Vought American*, further meaning he would scale above the aforementioned heroes), likely **Building Scale** (Scales above Kimiko. According to Mother's Milk, an attack from Lamplighter would only piss Kimiko off. Lamplighter's fire attack was able to seemingly vaporize a steel door, which has been calc'd to be worth 0.4 to 0.8 tons of TNT. Stronger than Kimiko, who was able to beat up and draw blood from Stormfront. Who beforehand once demolished a chunk of an apartment complex)

**Speed Level**: **Subsonic**, likely **Supersonic** (Was able to react and dodge multiple attacks from Homelander. Is said to be faster than a car by Mother's Milk. The average modern car has a top speed of 120 mph. Kept up with Kimiko, who blitzed several armed men after being released. Kimiko also evaded AK-47 shots at close range, which can move at 715 m/s. She similarly also dodges gunfire at point-blank later on. Attacked Queen Maeve before she can counter, who can leap in front of a speed truck before it can crash into two boys)

**Strength Level**: **Grade 50** Lifting Strength (Easily ripped a man's head open from the mouth, which would involve ripping off the jaw which would be worth 36.2 tons. Shouldn't be overwhelmingly weaker than Queen Maeve, who once prevented a bus from falling. The average city bus weighs between 25,000 to 40,000 pounds)

**Resilience Level**: At least **Wall Class+**, likely **Building Class** (Should be the same as his Energy Scale. Came out relatively fine in his fight with Kimiko. Only knocked back by a blast from Starlight, otherwise completely unharmed. Withstood and remained unmoved by Naqib's self-destruction. Unharmed by the multiple explosives laid out in Judy's house)

* **Resistances**: Pain (Is able to experience painful inflictions without being hindered or even showing signs of pain. Such as when he was enveloped by Naqib's self-detonation or when he slashed open his own wrist to dig out his tracking chip), Status Effect Inducement, Paralysis Inducement, and Sleep Manipulation (Unaffected by knockout gas that instantly subdued an entire café of people)

**Arsenal**: His own costume, various knives, bombs (smoke, tear gas and knockout gas bombs), EpiPen

**Intelligence**: **Above Average** (Despite missing a part of his brain, making him unable to talk, he still shows to be adept in martial arts. He was trained by a master sensei to become the death dealer that he is today, being very proficient in acrobatics, stealth and combat, allowing him to not only outmatch terrorists but even other Supes, including Homelander himself. He became so known for his efficiency in these areas that criminals run in terror at the mere mention of his name, and even outmatches the rest of The Seven, with him being the only member that Homelander doesn't criticize. On top of this, he was the number one best superhero in *Vought* before Homelander showed up. He shows skill outside of his fighting prowess too, with him being a talented artist and pianist. Even before his days with The Seven he was recognized for his talent, with him considered to play Axel Foley in *Beverly Hills Cop*. Is said to be a capable pilot)

**Weaknesses**: Suffers from brain damage, and thus cannot speak. Is at times child-like, with him imagining Buster Beaver and his gang as friends that help him through situations, all the way to present day. Has a tree nut allergy. High levels of radiation can fry the Compound V out of a Supe's veins.

**Stamina**: **Superhuman** (Generally, Supes are far more resilient than the average human due to having Compound V in their veins, Black Noir is no exception. With him being able to continue fighting after being slashed, burned, shot, blunt force directly to the face, and even being faced with multiple bombs, all while showing no signs of fatigue, pain or signs of stopping. Can evade Homelander and perform acrobatics easily)

**Range**: Standard Melee Range physically and with knives, higher with bombs.
