The first episode of Peacemaker arrived, and with it, the reappearance of the Justice Gang and the man funding them, Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn). Now, while plenty of laughs were had at the expense of Peacemaker (John Cena) not making the cut for the aforementioned super team, one fan recently asked DC Studios head and showrunner of the new series, James Gunn, if Lord will take a similar path to the one the character did in the comics.
Debuting in 1987, Maxwell Lord was initially an ally of the Justice League and a big influence on the Justice League International. Over time, though, he eventually became a villain, particularly for Wonder Woman, who killed Lord by snapping his neck in 2005 for killing Blue Beetle, Ted Kord. It was based on this that Gunn was asked if Lord would show a villainous streak further down the line, to which the Superman director gave an interesting answer.
