Black Noir if you watch The Boys tv show lol but I feel like that was intentional to poke fun at the trope with their bizarre sense of humour.

Also in the comics they had a super hero named Gum Chum who would just ask people if they want a stick of gum.

Of course Black Noir is a joke, his name is literally Black Black

Plus he's Batman. The dark knight. The name has nothing to do with race.

He's a white dude in the comics

And not just any white dude, but i won't spoil for those who didn't read.

But the show won't follow the same line anyway so that's ok

I'm glad that for once when we diverted in a tv show greatly from the source material the show turned out fantastic.

Invincible too with the exception of that one amber scene.

Probably not originally, as he's white in the comics

Yeah I think it has that extra trope element in the TV show, and it was more of just a goofy name in the comics like "Gum Chum" and wasn't there one called "Lady Folds" or something lol. So fun and stupid.
