Peacemaker, real name Christopher Smith, is a vigilante and operative of the Suicide Squad, who has dedicated his life to the elimination of war. His motives are driven by an extremist form of pacifism, which makes him want peace so much he would kill for it.[1]
History
Origin
Christopher Smith used to be a career diplomat, he traveled to Washington, D.C. in pursuit of the elimination of war. When he realized that he couldn't achieve peace as a diplomat he became the "Peacemaker", an extremist vigilante that was willing to kill anyone if it meant achieving peace.[2][1]
Smith 's condition was made worse after an the Dominator Invasion, where he fought in the front lines along with the Justice League and many other heroes, but this left Smith on a erratic and almost suicidal state.[1]
Doomsday Clock
Peacemaker was among numerous superheroes who traveled to the surface of Mars aboard a fleet of starships after the orchestrator of a large explosion in Moscow was tracked there. The heroes discovered a strange structure on the planet with a singular occupant: the culprit, Doctor Manhattan. Although the heroes initially tried to discern Manhattan's motives, negotiations fell through and a combined offensive was launched on the culprit. However, Doctor Manhattan defeated every hero including Peacemaker and left them on Mars.[3]
