Adrien is the deuteragonist of *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Chat Noir*. He is a sentimonster created by Emilie Agreste from her own emotions of love. He is a student in Miss Bustier's class at Collège Françoise Dupont in Paris, France. He was also a fashion model for his father's brand.

With the Black Cat Miraculous, when it is inhabited by Plagg, Adrien transforms into the black cat-themed superhero **Chat Noir** ("**Chat Noir**" in the French version), gaining the power of destruction to stop Chrysalis and her akumatized villains. He is the second-in-command of the French Miraculous superhero team.

## Appearance

### Physical appearance

Adrien is a handsome and fair-skinned teenage boy with brushed-back blond hair that is swept to the right. He also has emerald-green eyes and has a rosy tint on his cheeks, nose, and the tips of his ears. He is about half a head taller than Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

### Civilian attire

Adrien wears a white button-down jacket with an upturned collar and sleeves rolled up above his elbow, which he keeps unbuttoned. Underneath, he wears a black t-shirt with five horizontal stripes around the chest, which are coloured, from top to bottom, yellow, brown, bright green, navy blue, and purple. He wears blue jeans and orange sneakers with white laces, and a logo of a black butterfly in a circle on the sides. On the ring finger of his right hand, he wears the Black Cat Miraculous, which is silver when he's not transformed. He sometimes carries the lucky charm bracelet in his pocket.

### As Chat Noir

Chat Noir has cat eyes with green sclerae, dark green irises, and slitted pupils. His hair becomes longer and untamed, and it covers his normal ears. Chat Noir wears a textured black skin-tight catsuit with metal details. He wears matching gloves that have claws on the fingertips and boots with a hidden wedge, silver toes, and paw-shaped treads. He has a golden bell on his neck, connected to a zipper on the front of his costume, and a long belt that wraps around his waist and hangs out from the back like a tail. He wears black cat ears and a black mask to cover his face. When transformed, his ring turns black and gains a bright green paw print on its face. He keeps his staff attached to his lower back.

### As Mister Bug

As Mister Bug, Adrien's hair was the same as his civilian form unlike Chat Noir, covering the Ladybug Miraculous. On his face was a red mask with black spots in a symmetrical design, his eyes were still green, and the waterlines were black.

He wore a black, turtlenecked skin-tight superhero jumpsuit with red accents on his upper torso, extending to his abdomen, thighs, on his forearms ending on a point in the back of his hands, in his shins resembling boots with black soles, all of which were covered in black spots. He had red shoulder pads and armour in his chest which were covered in black spots. The yo-yo, when not in use, was tied on his waist with a black string.

### As Aspik

Aspik's eyes had vivid green irises and golden sclerae. He wore a green and turquoise skin-tight suit with yellow accents and a skullcap covering his hair. He wielded a lyre as his Miraculous tool, which was located on his back when not in use. He wore the Snake Miraculous on his left wrist.

### As Snake Noir

As Snake Noir, Chat Noir's suit resembled his own suit, and Aspik's suit, and it was black, with turquoise accents, and without Aspik's shoulder pads. He sported Chat Noir's boots, pockets, and his belt, which had a accent coloured-tip, and green cat eyes. Alongside the usual black cat ears, his hair was again covered. He wore the Black Cat Miraculous and the Snake Miraculous on his right ring finger and wrist.

### As Cat Walker

As Cat Walker, Adrien had greenish-blackish hair that he parted on the left with a few wild strands and short ponytail on the back. He also had a pair of fake cat ears in his hair. He had the same eye color and cat-like slit sclerae as Chat Noir. His mask was black, similar to Chat Noir's, but it had a horizontal golden stripe across the top with a dip in the middle where the edge of the mask dipped. His costume was dark gray and looked similar to an 18th century military uniform with six gold paw print shaped buttons, and another two on the backs of his shoulders, and gold lining. He had tall black boots that reached a little past his knees and long black gloves that almost reached his shoulders. His shoulders were also black and the ends of his fingers had pointed curved cat-like claws. Unlike Chat Noir, he had no bell. His long black belt was tied around his waist and extended into a fake tail in the back along with a silver belt buckle on the front in the shape of a right angle pointing to his left.

### As Rabbit Noir

Most of his suit remained black, gaining light blue highlights on his shoulders, lower arms, legs, boots and belt with a white cotton ball on the end. He maintained his ears but they changed from cat to rabbit with black outsides and blue insides. And his bell changed from gold to white, keeping the Rabbit Miraculous on his waist and the umbrella on his back. He also gained light blue markings under his eyes on his mask.

### As Chat Blanc

Chat Blanc looked like Chat Noir, except that his skin was very pale, and his catsuit was completely white, including the bell and the cat ears. His hair was also white, and his eyes were an icy blue instead of their normal green.

### As Ephemeral

Ephemeral had pale, light greyish heliotrope coloured skin and glowing pupil-less brilliant magenta eyes and wore a moderate magenta skin-tight outfit that covered most of his body, except for his eyes and the area of his nose and mouth. The suit possessed shoulder pads, gloves and knee-high boots that were a darker shade of moderate magenta and glowing pink outlines and a black line around the waist. There were sets of three black arrows pointing down on his torso and members and a pointy helmet on his head with the same colour of the suit with a black coloration at the front outlined by a glowing pink line and black arrows at the sides. All the arrows of his body started to flicker when he started accelerating one's time until all of the arrows were lit up and the acceleration took effect.

### As Celesticat

Celesticat was extremely similar in appearance to Chat Blanc, but with green eyes and a pair of large, angel-like wings for flight.

## Abilities

### As a civilian

Studious and formerly home-schooled, Adrien is the top student in his class, with his lowest grade being an A- in Math. He is especially good at physics. Having many extra lessons, Adrien can speak fluent Chinese and Japanese and can even understand Morse code. He is also very skilled at playing the piano and enjoys sharing musical joy with others.

Adrien is able to fight on equal grounds with his fencing teacher and fend off most of his students effortlessly, with the exception of Kagami, showing great reflexes and skill for offensive or defensive movements. Other than fencing, Adrien does *Karate* and *Kung Fu*, which enables him to fight in hand-to-hand combat and briefly fight his akuma-controlled bodyguard. Furthermore, Adrien takes basketball lessons. He took an interest in video games as well, being able to beat Max Kanté in *Ultimate Mecha Strike III* and achieve one of the top scores in the entire school (despite being surpassed by Marinette later). It is shown in "Mr. Pigeon" that he can whistle.

Like Marinette, to a possibly lesser extent, Adrien has great stamina and endurance as he was able to outrun a fan mob and was able to handle both the physical and mental strain of wielding two Miraculous together without struggle .

Though often looked down on compared to Ladybug and being more simple, straightforward-minded, Adrien is very intelligent and capable. He is able to look for loopholes in his father's rules, which his friends considered "sneaky". Though restless and reckless, Chat Noir is observant, noticing where the akumas are hidden several times and finding ways to save his Miraculous even when captured. He tricked Ladybug (and indirectly the suspicious Hawk Moth) into believing he wasn't Adrien. He further demonstrated his wits in his use with the Snake Miraculous as Snake Noir. He also suspected that Marinette was Ladybug after discovering that her kwami was in school and considering her regular disappearances (although he was tricked by her in the end).

From his lessons with Master Fu, Adrien has received the same knowledge about the history of the kwamis and the Miraculouses as Marinette, though likely to a lesser extent, as he wasn't prepared to become a guardian.

### As Chat Noir

Chat Noir has enhanced physical skills such as superhuman speed, agility, and near-invulnerability. He is fast enough to outrun a pair of panthers, being capable of running at least between 35-50 mph. His increased strength allows him to do things such as being able to over shoulder throw his own bodyguard into an elevator, use his staff as a lever to knock over a city bus, roundhouse kick, punch and stomp vending machines and kitchen appliances with just one strike. His increased stamina, durability, and endurance allow him to survive being smashed into a series of cars, a face-plant into a traffic pole, falling several stories, being flung by Gigantitan, and taking a crash landing through André's ice cream stand without being dazed or injured. He has even survived attacks from Ikari Gozen and Bakerix, both of whom are akumatized villains who are strong enough to lift and throw around entire city buses. He also has good hand-to-hand combat skills when needed. Even out of "Aqua Mode," Chat Noir is a good swimmer. He can even handle temperatures as severe as absolute 0.

Like a cat, Chat Noir has enhanced senses such as hearing, smell, night vision, and super stealth, which he sometimes uses to find opponents. Also, like a cat, Chat Noir can use his claws to climb up surfaces or use them to cut through things.

Chat Noir uses his extendo-pole efficiently, wielding it as a sword, throwing it with great precision, and having it be deflected back to him. He is able to spin it at high speeds to form a shield or take advantage of its duplication and length-changing features. To travel long distances, he uses his staff and its variety in length to vault over obstacles.

His special power, Cataclysm, allows him to negatively affect and essentially destroy anything that he touches with his ring hand. While it is usually used for object destruction, it can be used for a variety of different effects, for example, causing a bus's controls to go haywire and creating a platform in a structure. However, like other superheroes, using Cataclysm drains his Miraculous power, causing him to revert back to Adrien five minutes afterward.

In "Revolution", he becomes an "Adult" in terms of Miraculous and no longer transforms back after using his superpower.

#### Aqua Form

When accessing his aqua powers, Chat Noir has the ability to breathe underwater and enhanced swimming capabilities.

#### Ice Form

When accessing his ice powers, Chat Noir has the ability to handle extremely low temperatures, as well as move freely and quickly on the ice.

#### Space Form

When accessing his space powers, Chat Noir has the ability to breathe in space, and with the help of his jet pack, the ability move freely and quickly while up in the air.

### As Mister Bug

He has the same abilities as Ladybug: enhanced skills like speed, agility, and strength, and near invulnerability to physical damage.

Like Ladybug, Mister Bug can wield his yo-yo remarkably well, like using it as a grappling hook, a rope to restrain others, a projectile, and a shield if he spins it fast enough. After an evil akuma is released from its corrupted object, he can open his yo-yo, throw it to grab it, and remove the energy-charged it with, releasing it as a normal butterfly.

Along with his special power, Lucky Charm creates an object that helps him to achieve his objective, and it often is to stop a villain. Though usually confused at first, his cleverness help enables him to perceive where the object can be used to help him achieve his goal. However, the Lucky Charm drains his power and causing him to revert back to Adrien shortly afterward, so he has to use it wisely. Once the villain is dealt with, Mister Bug can throw his Lucky Charm object into the air and use the Miraculous Mister Bug, which will make it revert back to energy and fix all of the damage done since the villain appeared.

### As Aspik

Like Viperion, Aspik has much more enhanced skills, such as speed, agility, and strength, and he is almost invulnerable to physical damage. Like a snake, he also has enhanced senses like hearing and smell as well as infrared vision.

His special power, Second Chance, allows him to reverse time and change the outcome of an event, in which the power activates by sliding his finger on his Miraculous.

### As Snake Noir

Snake Noir has the powers of both Cataclysm and Second Chance, which he uses to attack and read his opponents' movements in battle, respectively.

### As Rabbit Noir

Rabbit Noir has the power of both Cataclysm and the ability to travel through time by using Burrow.

### As Chat Blanc

As Chat Blanc, he possesses the power of infinite destruction. He can use a super-enhanced version of the Cataclysm, known as the Mega Cataclysm. He can also release his destructive power at long range, as a blast, or as a ray. He is capable of unleashing destructive energy that could potentially destroy whole galaxies in a single strike, unlike Chat Noir, who can only destroy one thing at a time. He can use his power an infinite number of times without his transformation dropping or his power source exhausting.

### As Ephemeral

As Ephemeral, he has the power to accelerate time for another person. He does this by touching someone, causing an orb of lilac energy to get pulled out of them, and then absorbing it, which causes the arrows on his body to flicker as time starts to accelerate. When this power is used on a Miraculous holder, after they have used their superpower, their detransformation happens much sooner, in a matter of seconds.

### As Celesticat

As Celesticat, he had the power of flight and could glow brightly to disrupt an opponent's sight.

**Adrien Agreste** was one of the main antagonists of *Miraculous Paris*. He is a student at Collège Françoise Dupont in Paris, France. He was also a fashion model for his father's brand until he began to distance himself from Gabriel after his mother died.

Previously with the Black Cat Miraculous, when it was inhabited by Plagg, Adrien transformed into the black cat-themed supervillain **Claw Noir** ("**Griffe Noire**" in the French version), gaining the power of destruction to aid Shadybug in capturing the Butterfly Miraculous from Betterfly. He was a primary member of the French Miraculous supervillain team alongside Shadybug.

After being talked down by his heroic counterpart, he reworked his superpowered persona from the villainous Claw Noir into a heroic form, after which he chose the name **Paw Noir**.

## Appearance

### Physical appearance

Adrien is a tall and fair-skinned teenage boy with blond hair that is swept all over to the left and faded shaved on the right. He also has emerald-green eyes and has a rosy tint on his cheeks, nose, and the tips of his ears.

Due to repeatedly using his Miraculous for evil, Adrien gained black veins in his face which he often covered in makeup as Shadybug discovered, however after she used her Miraculous Shadybug, the affliction is cured.

### Civilian Attire

He wears a black turtleneck with vertical yellow, green, and blue stripes on the right side of the collar, a white leather jacket, dark grey jeans, a black belt with a silver buckle, and black boots.

He wears a thick layer of black eye liner, his fingernails are painted black, and he wears a pair of small silver stud earrings.

### As Claw Noir

He had a wild mane of spiked green hair, purple eyes with slitted pupils, and black lips. He wore a black bodysuit with tears in the knees, a black mask over the top half of his face, fake cat ears on his head with a hole in the edge of the left ear, a black leather jacket, a spiky silver ball hanging from the front of his neck, a long black belt with silver spikes around his waist that stuck out the back like a tail, tattered at the end, and a pair of calf high steel-toed black boots with spikes at the top. He also had a crack in the centre of his chest from his heroic counterpart's Cataclysm.

### As Paw Noir

After his redemption, he no longer has black lips, the under-cut of his hair grew and turned blonde, his eyes became green and his spiked bell turned into a golden one. While retaining his jacket but thinner and all the spikes he had on his costume are gone.

## Abilities

### As Claw Noir / Paw Noir

As an alternate version Chat Noir, he exhibited most of the same abilities as his heroic counterpart as he exhibited massively enhanced strength, speed and agility, to the point where he and Shadybug proved superior during their two clashes against their heroic counterparts, though this could be attributed to their unrestricted powers and their more aggressive nature. Despite his physical superiority however, Claw Noir seemed less intelligent than his counterpart, as he was overall much more aggressive and wasn't able to realize Chat Noir intentionally exposed himself.

Much like Chat Noir, he also possessed the ability to use Cataclysm. Due to removed restrictions on his Miraculous however, he could use his power as many times as he liked.

However, Claw Noir's power came at a price as a result of the safety restrictions being removed on his Miraculous (due to him using the Cat Miraculous for evil), Claw Noir suffered side effects as a result from using his Miraculous (shown as a series of black veins across his neck and face), alongside his partner Shadybug.

According to her, the effects were gradual, though Marinette attempting to summon Gimmi ended up accelerating the process, resulting in the affliction spreading to her face, though according to Shadybug the use of their Miraculous superpowers "will slowly destroy them". The affliction seemed to affect the user physically however, as both him and Shadybug were able to feel the affliction when it was removed. Overall, the effects are similar to the effects caused by wearing a broken Miraculous.

After his counterpart convinced him to use his powers for good and become a hero, Shadybug used the Miraculous Shadybug to restore the damage from their battle, resulting in the removal of the affliction infecting him and Shadybug. Since Claw Noir now uses his powers for good, it's unknown if he still possesses the ability to use Cataclysm multiple times.
