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.
