DC's Peacemaker
Traumatized at a young age by watching the suicide of his Nazi father, Christopher Smith would eventually join the US military. He was an exemplary soldier, until he was court-martialed for slaughtering a village full of innocent people. He was offered an ultimatum: he would join the top-secret anti-terrorism squad Project: Peacemaker, or he would spend his life in a military prison. He, of course, chose the former, even calling himself Peacemaker. His sanity slowly deteriorated, and he hopped from shadowy government-orchestrated team to shadowy government-orchestrated team until he was killed by Eclipso.
Fun Fact: Peacemaker started out as a Charlton Comics character alongside the likes of Blue Beetle and Captain Atom, before DC bought the rights to their biggest characters. Alan Moore intended to use Charlton's characters in his magnum opus, Watchmen, but DC didn't want to essentially burn their new toys right out of the box, so Moore instead created analogue characters in their place. Blue Beetle became Nite Owl, Captain Atom became Doctor Manhattan, and the Peacemaker became the Comedian!
I popped this guy out in response to Xenomorph79's minifig challenge, using pieces I had already. I've got a torso picked out for an upgrade, but I didn't wanna wait too long and am in a rough spot financially. Regardless, I hope you enjoy this absolute lunatic!
