Black Noir turned out to be an unstable clone of the Homelander. His main purpose? To kill Homelander once he goes out of line. The problem was Homelander didn’t do anything extremely appalling, and Black Noir started to get impatient. So Black Noir did a couple of heinous crimes, and then took pictures of it, framing Homelander. The latter then started to think he was delusional since he had no memories of those crimes being committed. As Billy Butcher put it succinctly:
“It means you turned into a fuckin psychopath by mistake.”
It all came to a boil when Homelander launched a coup on the United States government along with other superheroes. Black Noir confronted him inside the Oval Office and killed him by punching Homelander’s jaw off, and then tearing his body into pieces.

As Billy Butcher would say, Ain’t this a fucking show!

If black noir killed homelander by punching his jaw, who then who tore up black noir? This was a sloppy ending for both black noir, homelander, and the series. Black noir’s injuries even if he didn’t feel pain, he still was as a human. Look at black noir’s forearms, he doesn’t have any muscle or tendons, he wouldn’t be able to lift anything. Look at this left let that guy should even be standing. This was a total weak contrived ending.
Looks like Black Noir got ALMOST as good as he gave. He may have killed Homelander, but Homelander didn’t leave much of Nior left to celebrate.
Such a different path than the TV show, although with Homelander killing Nior at the end of season 3, it leaves an opening for Nior to be reintroduced as the clone in season 4. Maybe? Of course, unlike the comic, Homelander is now in charge of Vought, so not sure how that can happen. Hopefully now that COVID is sorta under control they can get the new seasons out faster.
