[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the Peacemaker<\/em> Season 2 finale, \u201cFull Nelson.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n Peacemaker<\/em><\/a>\u2018s second season has come to a close, and while we await word on whether the show will be back for Season 3 or not, James Gunn<\/a> certainly sets the groundwork with the formation of Checkmate, a new organization comprised of titular hero Chris Smith (John Cena<\/a>), Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland<\/a>), Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks<\/a>), Adrian Chase, a.k.a. Vigilante (Freddie Stroma<\/a>), John Economos (Steve Agee<\/a>), Sasha Bordeaux (Sol Rodriguez<\/a>), Rip Jagger a.k.a. Judo Master (Nhut Le), and Langston Fleury (Tim Meadows<\/a>).<\/p>\n But as fans saw in the closing moments of the finale episode, \u201cFull Nelson,\u201d Checkmate\u2019s mission to make the world better was disrupted as Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo<\/a>) had Peacemaker kidnapped and sent through the door to \u201cSalvation,\u201d a planet he intends to use as a prison for Metahumans, after teaming with Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult<\/a>) and getting the sign-off from higher-ups.<\/p>\n Rick made it clear he was sending Peacemaker to Salvation as a test dummy of sorts, as the liveable location was spotted during a secret A.R.G.U.S. mission helmed by Hartcourt and Bordeaux, unaware of its intended use by Rick. Like Checkmate, Salvation is a concept plucked from the DC comics, but Gunn makes it clear that those ideas and concepts are merely such and won\u2019t necessarily stick to the strict specificity required for comic accuracy.<\/p>\n
