Warning! Spoilers for The Boys comic book and TV series below

The biggest Homelander twist in The Boys comic book series doesn't make much sense, as the powerful Supe not being aware Black Noir is his clone goes against the character's previous actions and personality. While Black Noir was created to be a failsafe against Homelander in case he lost control, the fact that the patriotic hero never realized who was behind the mask until he revealed himself doesn't hold up.

In The Boys comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, Homelander and Black Noir are two of the mightiest heroes on Earth and key members of The Seven. For most of the series, Black Noir serves as the most mysterious member of the superteam, never speaking or removing his mask. However, he is still as depraved as his fellow Supes. Towards the end of the series, it's revealed that Black Noir is the clone of Homelander created specifically to stop him in case he lost control. Ultimately, Black Noir was responsible for some of Homelander's worst acts, as he pretended to be him to murder, sexually assault, and terrorize the public - including actions that led to the death of Becky Butcher, which led to the formation of The Boys. While Homelander was a horrible person and hero, Black Noir ended up being the cause of some of his most depraved acts.

While Black Noir is Homelander's clone and responsible for some of his darkest actions, it doesn't make sense how Homelander wouldn't try to uncover his fellow teammate's identity. Homelander often uses his intellect and power to manipulate his fellow heroes and constantly gains information to get the leg up on his fellow Supes. He thrives on being a step ahead, cares about the team's public image, and costumes. Even for a psychopath and self-interested Supe, it's hard to believe he would be teammates with Black Noir and not try to learn who he really is. Homelander is constantly crossing boundaries with his fellow heroes (as infamously shown with, Herogasm), so for him to just accept a non-identified individual as a teammate doesn't hold much water.

That's not to say the twist isn't a good one. Black Noir being the one Supe capable of stopping Homelander ends up being satisfying and makes him a much more sympathetic villain - it's just is bizarre that none of The Seven ever asked questions, despite everyone else knowing each other's secret identities. Homelander had to be suspicious of his fellow Supe. So, for him to never seek out the truth regarding Black Noir's doesn't make a lot of sense. He was really never curious about a fellow teammate with serious power? It doesn't check out.

Thankfully, The Boys television series avoided the Homelander/Black Noir twist as it's currently impossible given the current plot of the show. But, reading The Boys comics over again, it doesn't make much sense Homelander, or really anyone else on The Seven, would never question who Black Noir really is - especially given the distrust among the team.
