Black Noir's Biggest Weaknesses Are Surprisingly Personal
Black Noir in The Boys has got this dark side! It turns out that his weakness is totally real, even with the powers! Those details come from the actor playing him, Nathan Mitchell. We love Black Noir's quiet mystery. The creators turned him into someone super fun, but they actually brought in Nathan Mitchell's real-life stuff to add some depth!
How Did Nathan Mitchell Make Black Noir So Different?
There have actually been two versions of Black Noir! One from the first few seasons of The Boys who barely spoke - we never even saw his face, until he got super dramatic with Homelander in that big fight! And there’s a new Black Noir who talks now.
- Black Noir is one of the most powerful heroes in The Boys so it's so funny - because those weaknesses are kind of crazy, you know? The first Black Noir couldn't touch nuts!
- The new version just gets so sleepy at the worst time. I mean, we can't help but laugh
Wait, What's That About Nuts?
- That one was Nathan Mitchell's real life allergy, turned into the story. That's crazy, right?! But that's the whole point of the show! This superhero team really gets messed with - with crazy twists! And there's even some dark backstories with how those characters came to be.
But Why Does Black Noir Fall Asleep?!
Black Noir always seemed super intense, and we barely see any emotion, but Nathan Mitchell admitted on a podcast that he just dozes off! The new version - and you really see it in the story. He'll just crash. The creators decided to make that a part of the character. How ironic is that?
How's Nathan Mitchell Done As Black Noir?
Well, this actor just blew us all away. It's super hard playing Black Noir! He has these huge differences - both Black Noir’s personalities were really great, with Nathan’s performance giving both versions of this superhero character their unique feel.
- I mean, his sleeping thing is just perfect - super hilarious!
