Peacemaker is an anti-hero character with an interesting backstory. Formerly being an advocate for the use of non-lethal weapons and a pacifist diplomat, Christopher Smith transitioned into a violent and dark character willing to do anything to preserve the peace he wants.

The irony of the character is that he breaks his moral values to preserve the same, which tells the bigger story of many countries in the world when they go to war.

Peacemaker is a ‘shoot first, ask questions later’ kind of character. He will do anything and destroy anyone in his way when if it means achieving the end-goal of peace.

John Cena can portray the role very well

The character itself wasn’t originally made by DC Comics. It was a product of Charlton Comics that became one of the most popular of its time. DC later acquired the Superhero along with other Charlton Comics Superheroes.
