First appearing in season four, the second Black Noir debuted where he, the Deep, and A-Train killed three Homelander sympathizers and planted their bodies near a riot between the Homelander sympathizers and the Starlighters in light of Homelander being found not guilty for killing a Starlighter that threw a bottle at Ryan Butcher.
However, Homelander, having earlier killed Noir (for keeping his parentage secret) and retrieved Ryan, attempts to connect with Soldier Boy saying that they and Ryan could be a family. After Soldier Boy disowns Homelander as weak, damaged, attention-seeking, and a disappointment, he attempts to blast him and fulfill his agreement with Butcher.
This version is the megalomaniacal son of Soldier Boy and the father of Ryan, born as a result of Homelander raping Billy Butcher's wife Becca (a crime committed by Black Noir in the comic book series). Homelander has also appeared in the spin-off and promotional web series The Boys Presents: Diabolical and Death Battle!, respectively.
