Biography[]
Before Peacemaker's 2016 arrest, Smith claimed to have ended Kite-Man's reign of terror as Kite-Man was trying to fly off with the Blackheart Ruby while flying on his kite. Peacemaker defeated him by way of using his fists, a Desert Eagle and two rocket launchers.[1] Peacemaker was hailed a hero by some locals who were grateful for his service, and Kite-Man was imprisoned. At least one newspaper covered the event.[2]
Peacemaker would go on to own an article of the newspaper that covered the event. He kept the article framed in his house. In January 2021, Peacemaker retold the story of Kite-Man's capture to a class of students, although one of the students questioned the necessity of the degree of Peacemaker's intervention during the robbery.[1]
