Justice League Mapping / Black Noir Development


Superman --> Homelander
Batman --> Black Noir (so underdeveloped what is going on there???)
Wonder Woman --> Queen Maeve
Flash --> A-Train
Aquaman --> The Deep
Green Lantern / Shazam --> Starlight (thin correlation, but electricity/lightning like Shazam)
Martian Manhunter / Cyborg (comics vs movie) --> Translucent (my mapping falls apart here)

It's not entirely accurate.
There is actually a version of the Batman in the Boys universe - TechKnight. The Boys left him alone because he's not a real supe and was actually kind of decent until he developed a rather extreme sexual disorder. I'll let you find out for yourself.
Black Noir represents more of a tendency than a person.

Not sure about Translucent but Starlight is not supposed to represent any particular superhero.

reply

Starlight was supposed to replace Lamplighter, who was a Green Lantern analogue.

Black Noir is an analogue of Batman (the broody Justice League version), as is Tek Knight (the version that focuses more on Bruce Wayne and Gotham).

Beg to differ ...def a Mary Marvel-type character, a few similar powers, and even her costume resembles Mary's white uni.

reply

Translucent was invented for the TV show. In the comics, he’s a Martian Manhunter-style character.

reply

Black Noir wears an all-black commando suit, never speaks and never shows his face. He's Snake Eyes from GI Joe. I know Snake Eyes doesn't have super powers, but other than that the two characters are identical. Batman doesn't have super powers either, of course.
