What’s even funnier is that THAT HAS TO BE John cena in this comic

[@manofdarkness5483]

Where the hell is John Cena all I see is a flying helmet

[@kingofspades1576]

No it’s not. It’s an ai recreation of what is believed to be the “most profitable peacemaker image” that’s also why the comic looks like it was drawn 40 years ago.

[@jwwilliams5407]

That's what I'm saying😂😂😂

[@hiddensinix2767]

Is it ai? It looks very consistent artistically (plus ai can't do text) , I guess if someone edited it down afterwards ​@@kingofspades1576

[@valonstriker]

​@@kingofspades1576 That's not what comics look like in the '80s Bud.

[@stanleyjarman7706]

You know what. i like this new direction for peace maker it gives him more creative freedom to be humorous yet also more depth when he does become serious

[@JamaalDaGreatest]

He was like a Z list villain before The Suicide Squad/ John Cena took the reigns. Now he has a lot of potential and flexibility to become a fan favorite character.

[@umokwhy2830]

​@@JamaalDaGreatestPeacemaker is one of the only shows I'll actually sit and watch the opening intro everytime. They've done such a great job with the show honestly.

[@t3chbr0shadow]

Hes like a silly Punisher if you think about it. I for one, love him

[@spencersholden]

@@JamaalDaGreatestwe all know that Iron Man was a B or C List hero before his movie. But Z List villain is just the funniest term.

[@kyledcunningham]

@@spencersholdenIron man was never c list, he was always a list, he’s a major part of one of marvels biggest teams “the avengers”. People often think this because comics themselves were c-d list until iron man 2007. The only things that used to make it were the mega hits like Batman, Superman and Spider-Man.

I love the implication that the Shrinkage helmet not onky does what it says on the tin, but that it's *actually useful* in a fight

[@GODOFAWSOMENESS1]

It would be distracting.

I remember reading about Peacemaker in the league of regrettable superheroes. Now he's popular and prime meme material.

[@brosfoesandheroes]

Great Book Too!

[@alexsolomon8127]

making him a parody and eternal "chump" and stooge to people like Waller does not make him a good character.

[@GooseGodGeb]

@@alexsolomon8127 It makes him entertaining, which is more than I can say for his golden age counterpart. I think it's fun that he's a nut job with a very twisted sense of carrying out justice.

[@alexsolomon8127]

@@GooseGodGeb i think if i want to deal with twisted nutjobs, i get more than enough of those in real life. i prefer hereos to be heroic, and i prefer villains to be put in jail and remain there..not be given a free pass consistantly by folks like Waller becasue they're so freakign easy to manipulate/

“And this one’s for when you’re fighting a radioactive giraffe on the freeway”

[@skyleryarroll2369]

Almost certain that you meant "radioactive", but not ENTIRELY certain. Just having difficulty picturing what a "retroactive giraffe" would even BE. Just like, a giraffe that turns out to have always been there? Does it have some effect on the integrity of the timeline? CONFUSION!

[@Jedi-Dell]

“Bane Voice” being a helmet is awesome

[@Fr3elancerflorida]

Bro has a helmet for every situation like batmans utility belt

[@Tacdelio]

funny as hell cause its the least useful way to use this tech lmao he has to go get a bulky helmet for each situation instead of using something handheld or incorporating the tech somewhere else on his suit. so dumb i love it.

[@deviousj5868]

Peace AT ANY COST.

[@machbass]

This is one of my favorite Black Label runs in a while. It's not serious. It knows when to be raunchy and has some really wholesome moments.

[@RagnarokMic]

Peacemaker Tries Hard was an absolute riot, I hope we get more miniseries from it.

[@playablecharacter3871]

I wish the show had kept going with the self loathing/becoming someone you can love arc he was on in the first couple episodes, after that they kinda just made it about waller's daughter

[@-boondoggle-6134]

Monsieur Mallah is just taking notes to share to Brain later

[@anibal5845]

I think this version of Peacemaker is definitely fun, but I'm sad that the original version will likely be forgotten. Same with The Question.

[@ImmOmega-dv6yf]

Due has his own collection of kanohi (masks)

[@FlaskDad]

Hes about to use the F- beam, There are only 2 characters on the screen a gorilla and a man who he using it on 😭 what you mean by that???

[@joseanaya342]

That shrinkage one would be op in any fight for real 😂

[@PeiceofNick]

I really hope this scene gets recreated in the Upcomeing Season 2 of Peacemaker. Just imagineing Peacemaker telling Villginate and Beard Dye something along the lines of: "So this is where the room decated solely to my helmets, ues I own a helmat for almost every sencario possible. No your grubby neckbeard hands are not allowed even within eyegazeing distance of my BBQ helmet. No I will not elabrate any ferther on why I have helmat soley for when I have cookouts. Because you never asked to be invited to my world famous cookouts."

[@moniker4008]

Dammit it's funny and effective

[@SantaClawztheSamurai]

Liked the fact that he had a helmet that only does " Bane Voice"

[@dn22pkkdd476]

Many of them look like unused Bionicle masks

[@Axekickerbuckler]

I really like just how happy is about that helmet too.

[@AMightyViciousOlogsFriend]

Tbh Shrinkage is a good strategy. Nobody can win a hand-to-hand fight if they lack confidence.

[@boiiifudont1368]

Seems like DC got themselves their own Deadpool kind of and it works

[@WatchAMalotStudios]

They've just turned peacemaker into John Cena in a comic book😂

[@jabujabu63jordan62]

Tbf this has happened before in media

[@drixg555]

The Bane Voice helmet can come in handy if you need to fool people into thinking Bane is in the general vicinity or trick some henchmen.

i loved that dude since i was a kid. idc hes still the guy bro

[@Daniel_3322]

Peacemaker sounds like a character I need to learn more about

[@shadowsonicsilver6]

The Shrinkage Helmet is all fun and games until Love Sausage comes around.

[@barbatosmcmurderton4209]

Okay, my first experience with Peacemaker was when he showed up and mentored Jaime Reyes in the Blue Beetle comics. There, he was going through a plain clothes phase, and he was mostly serious, with a few references to him having seen some weird stuff over the years. Seeing him like this is even funnier.

[@tyrealistic594]

I can hear Cenas voice in my head when i read the lines😂

[@CezarAlexandru140]

He slowly turning into Shao Kahn

[@rockyvolcano4]

Peacemaker was 100% made for John Cena at this point. There is no-one else in the world who could have played the character in live-action and gotten it so spot on from the start.

[@worrior3008]

Should make mega helmet with all of them powers because this is ridiculous, cool designs though

[@evilwatermelon99]

Funny characters in comics are either hilarious or terrifying. No middle ground

[@x_gryph0n_x]

Seeing the comic version makes me think “there was nobody better for the role than Cena”

[@mikeysaab1911]

I think that’s Monsieur Mallah, the brains right hand. I recognize him from teen titans. It would be cool to see a teen titans / suicide Squad cross over.

[@Yannis1a]

I have said it before and I will say it again we need more series of C-list superheroes instead of bad sequel, or bad adaptation of comic book event, when writers are given characters that no one knows they can remake them into great characters as no one will care that about that changes, giving them freedom to tell cool unique stories and even remake the character

[@woodrobin]

Does the one with the crest on it let him control arrows, and if so, will Marvel sue?

[@Jscon864]

Why does he have a “Bane Voice” helmet?

[@intrusive...thoughts]
