The Big Twist in PEACEMAKER Could Introduce Deep Cut DC Team
Update: 2025-09-29
Description
The article summarizes a major twist in Peacemaker Season 2, confirming that Peacemaker has landed on a parallel Earth ruled by Nazis, which the writer equates to DC Comics' Earth-X [1].
The article's main theory is that the local anti-Nazi resistance group, the "Sons of Liberty," is a pseudonym for the DC superhero team, the Freedom Fighters [1].
Key points supporting the theory:
- Freedom Fighters Background: The team originated from Quality Comics (later acquired by DC) and was introduced in 1973 as the heroes of Earth-X, a world where the Axis won World War II. The team is led by Uncle Sam and includes members like Phantom Lady and Doll-Man [1].
- DCU Connection: The article points out that DCU co-CEO James Gunn has a fondness for obscure characters, and two Quality Comics/Freedom Fighter-associated heroes—Phantom Lady and Max Mercury—were previously seen on a mural in the Hall of Justice in the Superman film [1].
- Conclusion: The author speculates that Gunn is setting up a version of the original Earth-X storyline, and that Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters will appear in the final episodes of Peacemaker to fight the Nazi regime [1].
