Should I Trust A Shadow As Evidence?

Spoiler warning for part of Power Man and Iron Fist #2. We're introduced to Tiowa Bryant in this issue, who Victor (he's the new Power Man) seems quite taken with. As the scene draws to a close, it's revealed that Tiowa may also be the mysterious "Noir" who caught Victor's attention (and kicked him off a roof) last issue. The evidence would be that in the last panel she appears in, Tiowa's shadow forms the outline of Noir.

Which seems to settle things, though I can't help being suspicious. We're talking about a character called noir, and the few films of that genre I've seen tend to have characters who keep secrets, who aren't who them seem to be, and there are usually double-crosses and surprise revelations. Plus, between Victor and Tiowa studying theater at a school for the performing arts and the Commedia Dell'Morte, there's quite an emphasis on acting, which is about pretending to be someone you aren't. Assuming another persona. So maybe Noir was using shadow powers to keep an eye on Tiowa without her knowledge.

Yeah, it's pretty unlikely. I'm just surprised Fred van Lente presented us with this mysterious character last issue, and he's already revealed her secret identity to us, if not to the other characters. I expected this mystery of who Noir was would be drawn out over the course of the mini-series, revealed around issue 4, maybe 5. I guess van Lente wants us wondering about the "why?" of her actions more than the "who?". Danny and Victor are still in the dark, so we can watch them try to piece it together, which ought to be interesting. I don't know about Victor, but Danny's never struck me as an ace sleuth.

Posting may be sporadic for the next week or so. I'll try to avoid that, but it'll probably happen.
