Naqib

Naqib's History

Naqib (or نقیب) was a Supe terrorist whose existence was orchestrated by Homelander to give the American government a reason to enlist superheroes into the military.

Season One

Naqib made his first appearance in episode 7, The Self-Preservation Society as a cameo character. During a military operation, U.S military soldiers were raiding a military base and training camp for Islamic terrorists. Naqib showed up and when the soldiers told him to surrender, he used his self-detonation power and destroyed the base. He walked out of the burnt base without taking any damages from the explosion. His act of killing the soldiers was shown in full view on CIA CCTV, alerting the Americans of the existence of a supe "on the other side".

Season Two

Naqib came back in the first episode of Season 2, The Big Ride as a minor antagonist. Black Noir was sent to kill Naqib as an order from Vought International. Meanwhile, Naqib and his partner were thinking of a good catchphrase for him. Black Noir suddenly showed up and killed his partner. Naqib self-detonated as soon after he screamed out loud his catchphrase, "Burn in Truth!". After he destroyed his compound, Black Noir remained standing unphased with burns on half his face and chest from the explosion. Noir killed him by decapitating him.
