Curious about which dark forces will stand in Peacemaker’s way when the series storms back for Season 2? With John Cena once again strapping on the chrome helmet in the very first officially DCU-connected chapter of the HBO Max saga, the stage is set for an even bigger showdown.

This time, DC isn’t holding back — blending iconic villains pulled straight from the comics with fresh, original creations crafted just for the series. Some enemies are back to settle old scores, while others are stepping into the spotlight for the very first time, each one designed to push Peacemaker past his breaking point.

Here’s your complete breakdown of every confirmed villain making their mark in Peacemaker Season 2.

Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo)

Carrying the weight of loss like a loaded weapon, Rick Flag Sr. steps into Peacemaker Season 2 with one mission that eclipses all others: vengeance. Played by Frank Grillo — who previously voiced the character in Creature Commandos and is set to appear in Superman (2025) — Flag Sr. isn’t just another government pawn. He’s a grieving father, a soldier cut from harder steel than most, who now bears the bitter knowledge that his own son, Rick Flag Jr., fell at the hands of Christopher Smith.

Where Season 1 forced Peacemaker to wrestle with his guilt, Season 2 makes him face it — embodied in the relentless shadow of a father who refuses to let his boy’s death go unanswered. Flag Sr. isn’t just hunting a man; he’s chasing justice, revenge, and the ghost of everything he lost. And unlike the villains Peacemaker has faced before, this one doesn’t come from another world or a secret experiment — he comes from the same broken system, sharpened into something merciless.

Red St. Wild (Michael Rooker)

Born straight from James Gunn’s imagination, Red St. Wild is the kind of villain who feels ripped from a fever dream — eccentric, dangerous, and unforgettable. Played by Michael Rooker, St. Wild arrives in Season 2 as an original DCU creation, a larger-than-life figure Gunn himself described as “the world’s foremost eagle hunter.”

But this isn’t just a quirky title. Red St. Wild’s obsession sets him on a direct collision course with one of the show’s most beloved characters — Eagly. What begins as an outlandish rivalry quickly transforms into something personal and deeply unsettling, forcing Peacemaker to fight not just for his own survival, but for the one companion who’s never abandoned him.

Rooker injects St. Wild with the same blend of humor and menace that made his past Gunn collaborations so iconic. Here, that chaotic unpredictability becomes a weapon, making St. Wild a wild card who could break hearts just as easily as necks.

Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn)

Sean Gunn makes his return as Maxwell Lord, carrying his sly charisma from Superman (2025) into Peacemaker’s new season. On the surface, Lord seems almost comedic — his first interaction with Chris comes during an interview, where he accidentally blurts out that Peacemaker “sucks” into a hot mic. It’s the kind of awkward moment that plays to the series’ offbeat humor.

But if DC Comics history has taught fans anything, it’s this: never underestimate Maxwell Lord. Behind the jokes and stumbles lies a calculating manipulator with a knack for bending situations — and people — to his advantage. Whether he’s playing the bumbling bureaucrat or hiding the razor’s edge of a secret agenda, Lord’s presence in Season 2 hints at deeper layers of betrayal and power games still to unfold.

With Sean Gunn in the role, fans can expect that balance of absurd comedy and disarming menace, making Maxwell Lord one of the most unpredictable figures Peacemaker will have to navigate.

White Rabbit (Brey Noelle)

Brey Noelle steps into the DCU as White Rabbit, a lesser-known Batman rogue who brings a surreal edge to Peacemaker Season 2. In the comics, White Rabbit wields a dangerous blend of duplication and super speed, making her as elusive as she is deadly — a foe who can overwhelm her enemies with sheer unpredictability.

So far, no Season 2 footage has revealed her in action, and her storyline remains tightly under wraps. That silence almost makes her more intriguing, like a ticking clock in the shadows. In a world where Peacemaker already wrestles with his fractured identity, a villain who can split herself into many could serve as the perfect mirror to his own inner chaos.

Whether she emerges as a chaotic wild card, a hired hand, or something far stranger, White Rabbit feels like one of those characters whose mystery is the threat. And when she finally makes her move, fans can bet she won’t just run into Peacemaker — she’ll run circles around him.

Judomaster (Nhut Le)

Nhut Le returns as Judomaster, the pint-sized powerhouse whose loyalty and motives remain as unpredictable as his strikes. In Season 1, Judomaster served the alien Butterflies with unwavering dedication, only to slip through the cracks and vanish when the dust settled. That escape left fans with one burning question: where does he stand now?

Season 2 offers no easy answers. Judomaster’s silence could mean he’s lying in wait, nursing grudges and sharpening his already lethal combat skills. His mastery of martial arts makes him more than just a physical opponent — he’s a shadow that lingers in Peacemaker’s story, a reminder that some enemies don’t disappear, they adapt.

Whether he resurfaces as a villain, an uneasy ally, or a ghost from the past, Judomaster carries an aura of unfinished business. For Peacemaker, that may be the most dangerous opponent of all — one you never truly defeated.

White Dragon (Auggie Smith)

The ghost of Peacemaker’s past refuses to stay buried. Season 2 introduces a new incarnation of White Dragon, this time clad in striking blue armor instead of the blood-red plating worn by Auggie Smith. Robert Patrick’s twisted patriarch may be gone, but the hateful symbol he embodied clearly isn’t finished haunting Chris.

What’s uncertain — and deeply unsettling — is who stands inside the armor now. Is this a legacy figure carrying on Auggie’s crusade, a government weaponization of the White Dragon mantle, or merely another hallucination clawing at Peacemaker’s fragile psyche? Whatever the truth, the reemergence of White Dragon forces Chris to confront not only an enemy but the shadow of his father’s influence — one that continues to corrode his sense of self.

For Peacemaker, some battles aren’t about saving the world. They’re about escaping the ghosts that still live inside his helmet.

Peacemaker Season 2 is shaping up to be darker, wilder, and more personal than ever. With enemies old and new rising from the shadows — from Rick Flag Sr.’s vendetta to the mysterious rebirth of White Dragon — Chris Smith is set to face his deepest fears and most dangerous rivals. As the DCU expands, these villains aren’t just obstacles; they’re mirrors of Peacemaker’s past, present, and possible future.
