Peacemaker was the break-out star of 2021’sThe Suicide Squad, helmed by James Gunn. So beloved was the character, played by WWE legend John Cena, that he ended up receiving his spin-off series on HBO Max, with one of the most iconic title sequences of modern-day television.
A beloved character from the show, apart from Peacemaker himself, was the eccentric vigilante Adrian Chase a.k.a Vigilante, played to perfection by Freddie Stroma ofPitch Perfectfame. The budding albeit reluctant bromance between the two characters was the highlight of the show. However, as all eyes train towardsPeacemakerSeason 2, tragedy might strike their friendship, if one storyline is adapted.

PeacemakerSeason 2 could adapt a very dark plotline
In the comic books, Vigilante meets a very tragic end by his own hands. Not to mention, in a separate storyline, Peacemaker becomes more unstable than he is. Season 2 ofPeacemakercould explore this storyline but may adapt the plot differently. Peacemaker could be haunted by the memories of his father, slowly making him more unstable than he is. This could directly result in him killing Vigilante, as the Adrian Chase version of the character dies in the comics.
Vigilante might as well kill himself as he does in the comics, but the precedent for that would need to be established and unraveled throughout several seasons. The slaying of the White Dragon does not exercise the demons that Peacemaker might find himself dealing with, thanks to his traumatic upbringing.
Killing Vigilante could also come as a part of his reaction to the traumatic impact that his father had on him, which could be devastating. This could also be manipulated by Amanda Waller, perhaps by using some sort of fear toxin or such, given that she would have an arsenal of convicts with varied powers ready at her disposal.
