In the DC Universe, the villains mean business. For instance, in the comic book series ‘Creature Commandos’, a team of morally questionable villains find themselves in over their heads when they engage in a confrontation with Princess Ilana Rostovic, ruler of Pokolistan. Rostovic, whose aim is global conquest and elimination of anyone who stands against her, may not achieve world domination, but she does establish a sinister pattern for the DCU‘s antagonists. In ‘Superman’, Lex Luthor takes up the mantle, even though his objective is less grandiose than Rostovic’s, it’s no less malicious. He instigates conflict abroad and jeopardizes innocent lives, all with the goal of taking down Superman.
It’s possible that Luthor isn’t the only one across the multiverse who has issues with the Kryptonian. While ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 primarily focuses on Christopher Smith and his tribulations, it briefly diverts in its debut episode to introduce another Superman antagonist. However, unlike how major conflicts are often portrayed, the DCU presents this wrongdoer as a common thug who might not even be compared with Superman in the same context.
Peacemaker & His Family Are the Cream of the Crop on One World
In Season 2, with his father no longer around, Chris moves into his former residence. Despite Eagly causing him disturbances at night, the bird proves useful in unexpected ways. Chris discovers a door leading to another dimension within an old room, revealing a reality where Peacemaker exists. This intrigues Chris, but when he opens the door, his father appears, resurfacing haunting memories. For the following half-year, the doorway into the other dimension stays sealed as Chris tries to leave his past behind and embrace a heroic persona. However, after being ignored by the Justice Gang during an interview, Chris falls into a drinking spree and returns to the alternate reality.
Upon arriving at the family residence affectionately known as their home, Peacemaker spends some time examining various memorabilia scattered about. These items recount the adventures of the Top Trio, a team which consists of his father Chris, his brother Keith, and other members. Among their notable achievements are defeating the Rainbow Creature, a beast that emerges from a South African volcano, and Ultra-Humanite, a longstanding Superman adversary who is notoriously difficult to subdue in most DC media, often requiring more than just three individuals in superhero costumes. The tales of Ultra-Humanite’s downfall particularly catch his attention due to its complexity.
Ultra-Humanite Is the Opposite of Superman
Superman, being incredibly strong in the DC Universe, often finds it tough to find worthy adversaries. Instead, it’s typically his intellect that is exploited by villains, who devise intricate strategies to counter every possible move. Although Lex Luthor is often recognized as Superman’s main foe, this wasn’t initially the case. The first character created by DC Comics to challenge their most significant hero was Ultra-Humanite. Originally a scientist with dreams of global conquest, Ultra-Humanite repeatedly tested Superman’s limits before being shifted to Earth-2 and transferring his mind into an albino gorilla. After this, both characters distanced themselves, with Ultra-Humanite creating a superhero team on his Earth and frequently clashing with groups like the Justice Society of America.
In recent times, Ultra-Humanite has once again claimed the title of Superman’s primary arch-nemesis. However, unlike in the original comics, the DC Universe hasn’t shown much interest in replicating this dynamic. While there have been suggestions that David Corenswet’s portrayal of the character might have encountered Ultra-Humanite early in his career, this is not yet officially confirmed. As for now, the franchise only hints that Peacemaker and his crime-fighting kin possess the intelligence to outwit him and foil his global schemes.
Peacemaker is streaming on HBO Max.
