The Peacemaker has taken the world by storm as The Suicide Squad has highlighted John Cena in the roll but just who is this anti hero? The Peacemaker has a long history dating back to Charlton Comics before being acquired by DC Comics. He has served as inspiration for characters in the seminal graphic novel The Watchmen, and had a few attempts made to make him stand out. Will this latest Suicide outing do the trick? Only time will tell until then explore his origins here on Casually Comics!

I always think that scene cops more criticism than it deserves. IMO it was *supposed* to be awkward. Flag is a goody-two-shoes put in charge of a crew of villains who'd happily shank him first chance they get. The point was that he was trying to be intimidating and failing at it.

And... it turned out astonishingly well, especially on the TV show. For John Cena's Peacemaker, the whole "fighting for peace" thing seems to be something he's tenuously adopted to give the arbitrary violence he was trained to commit some kind of meaning. Funny but also tragic. There's a fair bit of the later DC Comics Peacemaker in the character, though they changed a lot of the details to update the story.

Back in the 80s and 90s, the irony of a man who would kill for peace wasn't lost on us, but I think we normalized it and embraced the attitude. Look at all our 80s action heroes. I don't think we ever questioned how ludicrous the idea was.

DC had always bought characters from defunct comics company. They bought Captain Marvel and others from Fawcett when they decided to get out of the business,. Plastic Man, Freedom Fighters and other comics were bought from Quality. Charlton was a different company, because everything was in house. Editorial, printing and distribution were under one roof, which saved a lot of money. They also were known for their licensed books, (TV shows, Comic Strips and Cowboy Actors) as well as other regular magazines and books. Super hero stuff was actually very minor. Dick Giordano got his start at Charlton, as did many of famous comics creators, Roger Stern, John Byrne, Dennis O’Neil and Joe Staton. Giordano was the one who headed up the “revitalized” action hero line that included PeaceMaker, Ted Kord Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, Nightshade and The Question. When Charlton publications started to falter (they never updated their presses and it was always run on the cheap) DC President Paul Levitz, bought several of the prominent superhero characters as a favor to Dick Giordano. The sad part of it: the direct market (comic book stores) were about to boom. It worked out well for DC because Captain Atom, the Question were popular series and Blue Beetle, Nightshade, Sarge Steel became great fan favorite characters. They also got Watchmen out of the deal.

When DC started turning up in DC and I first saw him, I wondered if his name was ironic. The guy just seemed like he was constantly ready to kill somebody! Honestly, at least with the Comedian, you see there is a reason he started slipping downhill. Peacemaker in his old appearances is just hilarious! Like you said, he "doesn't want to do violence", but he has tons of custom ammo and he goes out of his way to kill people. I mean, I think they wanted him to be something like the Golden Age Sandman, who used to just use a gas gun to knock people out and went out of his way to NOT kill people, and even tried to save them if they ended up in a situation they would die. But that failed miserably! It's kind of funny when you look at it. Sometimes I think the Batman of later years is kind of based off of Sandman more than the Golden Age Batman. The old-school Batman would ghost you in a heartbeat in the early 40's, whereas at the same time Sandman was a hero with scruples whose main equipment was a fast car, a harpoon gun for scaling buildings, and his gas gun for incapacitating thugs so they can be kept in check until the cops show up.

Off topic but I appreciate the Berserk volume in the background, truly a woman of taste.

This character really needs another update/reboot. He is a perfect character to explore cognitive dissonance. Peace through war, all people are born equal but we need inequality, pro-life but pro-death penalty. There is so much of this in the world and having a character like Peacemaker could be the perfect place to explore it. Trouble is DC is afraid of tackling actual issues of our day and rather just write stories about edgy multiverse stuff.

Wow Vigilante! I have his first 10 comic books 📚. I think I was around 8-10 when it came out.

"This is a job for Chris... somehow" lol. Great line. Do you think you will be doing a vid on Blackguard? That may be cool too.

I bought the Vigilante issues because Kupperberg was continuing to use the Val Vostok character he introduced in The Doom Patrol, and I went on to read the Peacemaker miniseries. I thought it was interesting because he was such a severe nutcase, and the creators were well aware of it (something not always the case with killer "heroes"), but I admit I remember the character a lot better than the plot. The character was entirely new to me apart from his cameo in Crisis on infinite earths, which I had forgotten by that time. It was mentioned in the letter columns, which led me to look it up,. The letters column said that he specialized in rubber bullets in the Charlton series. Of course, rubber bullets are a lot more dangerous than they sound because they're only coated in rubber--the point is to f you up without killing you so you can testify in court.

When I saw that interview you did the other day I was worried that you might be getting too big for your britches. But much to my relief, I can see that my fears were unfounded. You found the "tight buns", commented on them and made darn sure we'd thank you for noticing. Never change.

The psych report is a neat touch Though it'd be nice to see people with mental health issues not being so villainized all the time

I remember seeing the Peacemaker comics from Charleton on the comic book racks when I was young, that included the Blue Beetle & The Question, too..

Peacemaker was a relic of the Randian tropes from Charlton, re-created into the "every new hero has to have a traumatic/psychotic backstory" of the 80s & 90s. Not a huge fan.

The fact that The Suicide Squad has his accurate costume is awesome but the main thing I hope the movie and especially the show does is explore the varied layers of Christoper Smith, many are dismissing him as a d list villain for John Cena to play and chew the scenery with but imo there’s so much more there to him and I genuinely hope that Peacemaker, Polka Dot Man and Ratcatcher 2 are given the absolute in terms of character development and complex levels of performance that we know Gunn will get from his masterful writing and directing
