[Backstory:Born in the early 1960s, Earving was experimented on with Compound V by Vought International, at the time known as Vought American. Earving began developing his powers by the time he was 9. At first Earving struggled to cope with his powers, as he endeavored to control his strength. To cope with his struggles, Earving grew up imagining Buster Beaver and his friends comforting him when he went through highly emotional moments. Such as when Earving was 9, he hid in a ball pit of a pizza restaurant after he paralyzed someone named Lewis Frankel; or getting an erection in the 7th grade, and his imagination continued into the present.

Little is known about his past, other than his having trained with a master sensei to become the death dealer that he is today.

Later in life, Earving landed membership on the superhero team Payback, starting his career as Black Noir. Much to his displeasure, he was forced to conceal his face by Vought American due to his race, in order to make him more marketable. One attempt to break out as an unconcealed star was to audition for the movie Beverly Hills Cop, but due to Soldier Boy's interference, he lost out to Eddie Murphy. Earving confronted his leader about this, to which Soldier Boy savagely beat him in retaliation, much to the rest of Payback's protests. He told the bloodied Earving that he would be the only star on the team, and that if any other team member attempted to outshine him, he would kill them, fueling Earving and the team's resentment towards him.

In 1984, Black Noir was present alongside the rest of Payback in Nicaragua in order to assist the CONTRA fighters against the Sandinistas. There, Stan Edgar approached him with an offer to betray Soldier Boy to the Russians, as Vogelbaum was developing a young Homelander to replace Payback's leader as the face of Vought. Tired of Soldier Boy's abuse, Black Noir and the rest of Payback (minus Gunpowder) agreed. During the same conversation, he tried to persuade Edgar to allow him to take off his mask, but was shot down. Black Noir stated he would go without the mask, not knowing what would happen next without it.

When their military camp is attacked, Black Noir and the rest of Payback cornered and attacked Soldier Boy. Before Mindstorm and Crimson Countess could subdue him, Soldier Boy pinned Black Noir's face to the hood of a burning Jeep and bashed his head in with his shield, severely damaging and even removing a part of Black Noir's brain, leaving him brain damaged and scarred forever. Grace Mallory later stumbled upon him, barely clinging to life and horribly disfigured.

Eventually, after Soldier Boy's "death", Payback fell through as Vought's #1 superhero team, breaking up either prior or at the beginning of the new team, The Seven. During this period, Black Noir became something akin to the face of Vought by the time Homelander was introduced to the public. After the new superhero's welcome event in 1999, Black Noir witnessed Homelander and Madelyn Stillwell's conversation about him taking Homelander out if he does not follow Vought's instructions.

Later, the two would be called to take care of a hostage situation at a chemical plant. Black Noir, arriving to the scene a bit after Homelander, comes across him covered in blood after losing his composure during the mission, slaughtering most of the hostages and terrorists. Homelander, believing Black Noir will turn him over to Vought, attempts to kill him, but is unable to keep up with the experienced superhero's quick reflexes. As a distraction, Black Noir ties up the last terrorist to a large fuel tank, which Homelander lasers in half, accidentally causing an explosion. The two and the remaining hostage survive, but before Homelander can murder the two to cover his failure, Black Noir snaps the hostage's neck. He then writes on a paper pad, instructing Homelander to lie to the news that he tried covering a bomb the terrorists had with his body, failing to prevent the explosion. The plan worked, gaining sympathy for the superhero newbie, securing his place at Vought, and cementing a sort of close alliance and friendship between him and Black Noir.

Black Noir appears in a recurring capacity. While searching for Kimiko, Frenchie spots Noir on the rooftops. Correctly deducing that Noir is searching for him, Frenchie attempts to hide, but Noir quickly finds him. Before Noir can attack, however, he is blindsided by Kimiko, who knocks him into a dumpster, giving Frenchie the opportunity to escape. The battle between Noir and Kimiko is swift and brutal, but Noir quickly gains the upper hand. He slashes her across her chest, then leaves her for dead. Kimiko, however, recovers within seconds due to her phenomenal regeneration factor.]

Almost every supe is more durable than humans are and are able to endure far more physical abuse before they die. Earving has incredible durability and stamina due to being a supe, but he is capable of being killed like any other person when their powers aren’t activated.

Earving’s powers are superhuman strength, superhuman durability, superhuman hearing, superhuman sight, superhuman agility, superhuman reflexes, regenerative healing factor, pain suppression, longevity, and superhuman speed.

Earving has severe trauma on the left side of his face which look like healed third degree burns. Earving has severe brain damage from a fight with Benjamin and developed mutism and hallucinations as a result. Occasionally, Earving will mentally regress to a seven year old child. Earving often hallucinates one of his favorite characters - Buster Beaver - is speaking to him. Earving may retreat to Buster Beaver’s Pizza Restaurant - a now abandoned building - if he becomes too distressed, as the mascots and location bring him comfort.
