- Moreover, Eagly does not have any superpowers as well and is just an extremely loyal Bald Eagle.
When Peacemaker hit HBO Max, everyone expected John Cena to bring the laughs and the absurdly shiny helmet. What we didn’t expect was for his pet bald eagle, Eagly, to absolutely steal the show. From awkward hugs to wild mid-battle swoops, Eagly became the unlikely heart of the series. But here’s a question some fans would like the answer to: Was Eagly always part of DC Comics, or is this just James Gunn taking creative liberty? Let’s find out.
Who Is Eagly in Peacemaker?
Eagly is Peacemaker’s pet, friend and an eagle sidekick. He’s not just there for background shots. Eagly plays a huge part in making Chris Smith aka Peacemaker, feel more human. The bird is loyal, goofy, and somehow manages to deliver emotional beats that most side characters can’t pull off. That scene where he hugs Peacemaker in Season 1 is a moment where you realize how badly Chris craves affection. Eagly isn’t just a mascot, he’s the emotional glue that holds Chris together.
Is Eagly a Part of DC Comics?
No, Eagly never existed in DC Comics. Peacemaker has been around since the 1960s, debuting under Charlton Comics before DC scooped him up. However, the guy never had a feathery best friend in the panels. James Gunn created Eagly for the show, probably because every unhinged superhero needs a sidekick, and why not make it an eagle that delivers hugs?
That being said, Eagly fits right into DC’s tradition of animal companions, where we have seen that Superman has Krypto, Batman has Ace, and even Wonder Woman once had a pet kangaroo named Jumpa. So while he wasn’t pulled from the comics, it feels like he could’ve been.
Does Eagly Have Any Powers in Peacemaker?
If you’re wondering whether Eagly is secretly rocking Kryptonian DNA or some radioactive mutation, hold your horses, there’s nothing like that. Eagly is just a regular bald eagle. No heat vision, no bulletproof feathers, and no secret ability to talk.
However, what he does have is perfect comedic timing and an unshakable loyalty to Peacemaker. In a way, his real “power” is emotional impact, which gives us the message that even a violent, deeply flawed hero like Peacemaker is worthy of unconditional love.
Who Is the Voice Actor Behind Eagly in Peacemaker?
The character of Eagly is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, an American voice actor known for lending his voice to popular TV shows like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Phineas and Ferb, and SpongeBob SquarePants.
