Suicide Squad
Warning : Spoilers forSuicide Squad # 15andSuicide Squad : Blaze # 2 !
The character ofPeacemakerhas become wildly pop ever since joining up with the riffraff group known as theSuicide Squad , but for as well - like as he is , he ’s also the most disrespected Hero of Alexandria in theDC Comics rosterat the bit .

decide to kidnap Lex Luthor in an attack to help thenewly abandoned Suicide Squadrebound , Suicide Squad # 15shows Luthor beating the betting odds and rebelling against his captors while hurling debasing affront at them in the process . Meanwhile , inSuicide Squad : blaze out # 2 , the Squad is forced to seize a physical sample of a fresh scoundrel who is consuming supers with prejudice , with this version of Peacemaker being the guy who completes this project , just in a totally humiliating agency .
Knocking off each Squad extremity as they fare after him in the action - packed number ofSuicide Squad # 15 , Lex finally sets his mess on Peacemaker . say , “ Everything about this chrome one is so ridiculous , it ’s unworthy of commentary,”Lex Luthordisrespects Peacemaker with a sunburn that he ’ll be tending to for days , even slapping Peacemaker upside the forefront to emphasize his diss . Not to be best , Suicide Squad : blaze away # 2has Peacemaker sting the big one before the offspring ’s close , with Peacemaker ’s last words of “ I have arrogate the foe pube ” — a comment relating to the mission of procuring a sample of their mark — also painting him in a less than venerating ignitor .
dig fun at Peacemaker for his choice of helmets , his utter lack of ethics when it comes to making serenity , or even his naivety when lease his guard down after plucking a piece of body hair from a baddie are all valid criticisms for a guy that ’s only just recently become a big agent inDC Comics ' traditional knowledge . Throw in the fact that Peacemaker ’s mirthful Holy Writ identity has ever so slimly been affected by the far less respected and more jokey version John Cena plays him as over on HBO Max’sPeacemakerseries , and it ’s decipherable Peacemaker has become a character that DC isreallyinvested in fans not respecting .
So while Peacemaker is n’t incisively a duck soup , he ’s not well off enough as a paladin to act as anything more than the behind of some consummate gags or the subject of a pointed trick or two . Peacemakermight be one of the most loyal members of theSuicide Squad , but that does n’t match him to being a well - regarded one .
