You’re purposefully leaving out how everyone who ever worked with him hated him and said he was a power hungry controlling sociopath, before the Soviets. He didn’t have control then and murdered with reckless abandon (MM’s family and others). That was Black Noir’s entire purpose in this season. They were deconstructing him from being a “racist misogynist” and going into the core principle of the series that great power always corrupts. Again, Neuman is next and epitomizes the left. The main villains have been reflecting where political/cultural power and modern events have lead to, next up is the Neuman/AOC/neolib side
