Yeah that's what he is selling.
But I got faith the writers got a very honest flip of the world reaction
I would believe the world of supes uniting against him
And a complete apocalypse
Him running away and hiding
I do not think it's so cut and dry
He's selling it cause he's about to crack! In the mirrors talking to his reflection to make him like marble?! The ONE person that could stand up to him got ran out of his own company. But these are vain, ego maniacs! He's like Deebo, the minute someone has the bright idea to jump him, someone tells them to: 'SIT YO ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE!' It took the combined might of three "supes" just to hold him down for their Sunday Punch Special and he weaseled out of that. I am interested how Black Noir would fare in a 1on1 against Homelander
Homelander is those guys that when you get a chance to take him out, you take it cause more than likely you won't get a second chance.
I think Black Noir going off the reservation is going to be that he gets a better shot at taking Solider Boy out. He's always been a company man! He's the Booker T of Vought!
