Never read the comic, care to explain the noir plot and why it's so significant?
so in the Comics Black Noir is actually a clone of Homelander and HE has been the one doing all the bad things that Homelander has done while gas lighting the actual Homelander into thinking he has a split personality and doing bad stuff. Vought had cloned Homelander in case he started going rogue and as a result (since he wasn't going rogue) Black Noir/Clone Homelander starts doing shit as Homelander in hopes Vought will replace real homelander with black noir/clone homelander. the ACTUAL Homelander didn't do any of it, he was just a manipulative POS.
Very generally spoilery:
As I remember in the comics Noir is a clone of Homelander who was made and designed to kill Homelander as a failsafe. This is not the case in the show at all.
(FYI: I partially read the comics at a friends house a long time ago, and I have never watched the show.)
