Peacemaker Is An Unapologetic Sociopath Throughout The Suicide Squad
As far as ironic comic book character names are concerned, Peacemaker has to be one of the best. Early on in The Suicide Squad when Task Force X Team 2 (Bloodsport, Ratcatcher II, King Shark, Polka-Dot Man, Peacemaker) are planning to rescue Rick Flag, John Cena’s character says “Nothing like a bloodbath to start the day.” After Ratcatcher II challenges him about his name, Peacemaker says he “cherishes peace” with all his heart before saying it doesn’t matter how many men, women, and children he has to kill to get it.
Peacemaker is a freaking madman here with no emotion, no laughter, nothing. Just cold-blooded sociopathy that will do anything to achieve his goal: peace, or at least what his definition may be. This is some unhinged maniac nonsense like Randy Orton when he was on his “Legend Killer” spree and not the “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect” John Cena that’s granting hundreds of Make-a-Wish requests.
