Warning: This article contains spoilers from The Boys season 3 finale.

Fans of Amazon's The Boys might've noticed a strange twist in an early episode of season 3. The third chapter, "Barbary Coast," went back to the early days of Payback, the supe team once led by Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) during the era of World War II. Black Noir, a member of the Seven in the present day, was once a part of this team. While the silent character has notably kept his mask on at all times, we saw a rare moment in the flashbacks of Noir without the mask — and he was talking freely.
